During a 21-minute interview on Judge Andrew Napolitano’s “Judging Freedom” YouTube channel April 13, former Marine Corps intelligence officer and former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter once again exposed the corruption of U.S. policy on Russia by demonstrating that it’s all based on lies. Napolitano set up what was to follow by asking Ritter to comment on his experiences in Iraq in the 1990’s. Ritter reported that at one time, Iraq, under Saddam Hussein, did indeed possess weapons of mass destruction, chemical and biological weapons, and may have been within six months of building a nuclear device. However, after seven years of UN weapons inspections following the 1991 Gulf War, “In 1998 Iraq posted no threat to the international community worthy of war, and that remained true in 2003,” when the U.S., under George W. Bush, launched its illegal war on Iraq. The Bush Administration rejected the truth of the matter, because it wanted regime change.
“The truth was the enemy,” Ritter said. “The fact is that if we weapons inspectors [had] succeeded in our job of disarming Iraq, the U.S. would not have been able to implement its policy of regime change, and so the truth became the enemy and those who were seeking to tell the truth were also hunted down.”
With the tone thus set, Ritter went on to say that he would advise President Joe Biden to focus on ending the war, because there is no circumstance in which Ukraine could win it. “Russia is going to win this war and win this war decisively,” he said. “It is better to recognize that now and mitigate the damage that has been done and is being done to the Ukrainian people.” What must happen is a dialogue between Russia and NATO on what the future security framework for Europe is going to look like and recognize that Russia views NATO as an existential threat and why.
Ritter also argued that the policy of the U.S. towards Russia, as towards Iraq earlier, has been regime change since 2009. “Joe Biden traveled to Moscow in March of 2011 and said that to a group of opposition leaders,” Ritter reported. “He said, ‘Vladimir Putin shouldn’t run for reelection because it will turn out bad for him and Russia.’ That is regime change... it has been the goal of the United States since that time and is the goal of the United States today. But, I will tell you this, Vladimir Putin has been the President of Russia under five [U.S] presidents and he will be in charge after Biden.” Ritter boldly predicted that if there is a regime change, it will occur in the United States, not Russia.
