The following exchange with former IAEA weapons inspector and whistleblower Scott Ritter occurred on Judge Andrew Napolitano"s interview program, “Judging Freedom” on August 24:
Judge Napolitano: “Well, why would the Ukrainians ratchet up the war by killing somebody whose father was in Putin’s Circle? What do the Ukrainians gain by this?”
Scott Ritter: “Well, I believe that the target was Alexander Dugin, that the daughter was a tragic accident. The car that was targeted, he was supposed to drive. And, at the last second, he opted to drive another car, so his daughter went behind this wheel. He was driving right behind her when the explosion took place. He saw his daughter die! And, why hit Dugin? Look…”
Napolitano: “He’s a philosopher. He’s not a military guy. “
Ritter: “Right: well, I’m an American historian. And I’m on the same blacklist—now, death list—that he is. I mean, we need to understand that. The blacklist that we’ve been mocking, and I’ve belittled it a little bit, it’s a death list. And I warned people about this.
