Scott Ritter is a former Marine intelligence officer who served in the former Soviet Union, implementing arms control agreements, and on the staff of General Norman Schwartzkopf during the Gulf War, where he played a critical role in the hunt for Iraqi SCUD missiles. From 1991 until 1998, Mr. Ritter served as a Chief Inspector for the United Nations in Iraq, leading the search for Iraq’s proscribed weapons of mass destruction. Mr. Ritter was a vocal critic of the American decision to go to war with Iraq. His new book, Disarmament in the Time of Perestroika: Arms Control and the End of the Soviet Union, is his ninth.
Mr Ritter - You are truly a breath of fresh air for the majority of the world's peoples who simply wish to develop and live in peace with their neighbours. Thanks!
You must be joking😂
The funniest thing about our situation is that we live in a society which teaches our children at a young age that you can’t solve conflicts with violence but all they see from our leadership is violent solutions to every conflict we have with other nations. We live in nations which pretend that violence can’t solve anything and then bombard our news and media with violent solutions to every problem we face. Even our language has been distorted by this disease. We fight it every thing, we declare war on everything, we attack everything, it’s a disease of violence which the US is the leader by far. A nation which prides itself on peaceful solutions to problems, yet has the highest murder rate in the western world. A nation which says it wants to hear from everyone yet destroys anyone who doesn’t agree. It’s competition gone wild, where everything is a competition and cooperation is only useful if it leads to your domination of all situations. I think we have a word for it and anarchy would be appropriate. We argue about everything even if it’s what we want but someone else pointed it out. We have lost our society to total individualism to the point where no one cooperates to make our society better they only cooperate for their own gains at everyone else’s expense. It’s enshrined in our tax laws, our social programs, our work in everything we do. Me, me and me at any cost to others.

"We lie; we cheat and we steal." Former Secretary of State told what American is now.
Beautifully said 👏
So very true .
Scott Ritter always telling the truth! It seems so obvious when he says, but then you ask "why can't anybody see that?" And people don't talk about it on the tv either
you on drugs ?
@@colinobrien3806
You a clot shot bot..?
Lame stream media will not mention Scott because regardless of the authenticity of his commentary it has been deemed counter-culture. Or at least contrary to the approved narrative of America good, Russia real bad.
I love Scott,but he would've been more believable if he didn't scream IT'S OVER , UKRAINIAN ARMY IS DECIMATED,for two years
@@colinobrien3806 Looks like you are.
"our system can Not be sustained by peace" talking about USA, never truest words has been told about USA
ŰŠ army general Smedley Butler in "war is a racket" book says every war he fought was actually for WALL STREET
And that statement explains everything in the lives of everyday US citizens. Propagandized from birth on the so-call greatness of their country. Marketing of products and a ideology 24x7. No wonder we are sick in the heads.
To indoctrinate every young boy, now girls too on militarism and hate of the "other."
It's the only way the 1% can make money while they sleep, and the working class faces a life of toil.
Now I get it after so many years, so many wars, so many factories closings, illness, and poverty.
It's not for us. The home of the brave. What a joke.
That goes for Britain also. We was told that it was the end of Empire for us, but it was all a confidence trick, a confidence trick for the Nations that voted for independence, they was still controlled economically and a confidence trick for the British, who still get involved in military affairs around the world and we have never had it explained to us why, when we have supposedly given up our empire. I suppose it’s our own fault for putting up with these narcissistic psychopaths.
Nima, you've got such a calm way about you, no interruptions, no long questions, keep it up. You'll have 1m before you know it. Love Mr Scott Ritter, he totally understands through his extensive knowledge & experience.
Nima has great guests and unlike most hosts know when to shut up and listen instead of trying to prove to his guest and listeners that he knows just a much himself. Humility which is greatly appreciated.
Scott, the Blonde-on-the-arm in Vegas analogy was hysterical and so accurate. Thanks for the laugh early on this Saturday morning!
Nowadays Scott Ritter is the only one I bother to listen concerning wars that are going on. Thanks.
Dima of the Military Summary and Brian Berletic of the New Atlas are also worth listening to. Ditto for Colonel Douglas Macgregor.
More sources: Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, Col. Tony Shafer, Col. Douglas Macgregor, Larry Johnson, Professor John Meirsheimer, Alistair Crooke, Ray McGovern.
All of those people have been interviewed by Judge Napolitano at his UA-cam channel, Judging Freedom. They ALL are free-thinking experts, not stooges of the U.S. government. And they all, except Alistair Crooke, have served their country, the U.S., with high distinction. But, they don't hesitate to tell the truth.
What I like in watching Napolitano is that you get a chance to see different perspectives from those experts. Gives you a very well-rounded body of knowledge.
Alistair Crooke is a former British ambassador and man of high integrity and VERY deep knowledge.
Scott Ritter, Douglas MacGregor, Larry Johnson, Wilkerson, McGovern, Jeffrey Sachs. These are the best Americans to listen to of whom I know
Me too my friend..
@@AAC2446 indeed Brian Berletic is brilliant, also Colonel Douglas MacGregor.
Thank you Nima. You interviewing style is excellent, allowing your guests to speak, and to answer your very well thought out and relevant questions. Great job you are doing.
Thank you Scott Ritter. I always find you excellent to listen to, and highly informative. Thanks for your intelligence and passion. From New Zealand. 😉
Nima, you are the best moderator -- because you know how to keep your mouth shut! Seriously, kudos!
Tru dat. Alex Jones and Jeff Rense are notorious for interrupting their guests rather than letting them finish and then taking their turn at the mike. The hosts are good people but it is sometimes annoying.
Everything Mr Ritter said is absolutely correct 💯👍
Great interview 👌
I am surprised by the courage of Scott Ritter.He defined the problems the USA like the best economist can do.
Hello from northen Argentina great analisis thanks Nima and Scott
Fresh new Dialogue Works! Thank you, Nima and Scott🌞
Scott, you're the best. Nima,We would like to have Scott, and colonel Mac Gregor in your show. What a delightful debate it will be!.
Outstanding interview, nima. Scott knowledge is the best of the best. He explains things so well and is easy to understand. This needs to go viral.
Not an interview just the usual rant nothing new.
I can only watch and learn, what has happened to my country under the 'intensive care' of the US policy. Life in Poland has never been easy and safe, but I have the comparative scale, how it was in the Soviet Union times. Maybe we were poor, but we had much more freedom, than now. There were some threats, life is never free from them, but the human factor was much better, than now. People were not so polarized as nowadays, they were compassionate and understanding. I do hope, someday the US will withdraw from Europe and leave us alone.
SCOTT YOU ARE SO NEED IN THE GOVERMENT MAN SO CLEAR AND HEART CENTERED
Thank both of you. Specially you mr ritter, a noble and brave american, we are not alone. Thank you Sir.
The truth
Indispensable listening
Listen and hear!
Merci

Scott Ritter gives one of the finest explanations of current geopolitical crises caused by the American Empire.
Excellent commentary Scott, it's good to remain up-to-date on geopolitical affairs. Much obliged.
Scott Ritter ist Klasse, weil er sich traut die Wahrheit zu sagen und es sehr gut und genau erklären kann ! 👌❤👍
You called Germany a dictatorship for not practicing democracy but using this logic America is also a dictatorship clearly on the issue of gaza and Ukraine.
Thank you Scott.
Yes, you are learning
We are all "democracy"
But Biden is the most popular president ever! He got 81 million votes.
Correct. The US is no longer a democracy. Democracy and US Don fit in the same discourse. Sad but true.
America is lead by oligarcs owning all your politicians - its no longer a functioning democracy.
This is so shocking yet so true. I love love love Scott Ritter
Another brilliant conversation 👏👏👏
Thank you both 👍
Giant hugs and love to you both. ❤️💪🏽👍🏽👊🏽🤞🏽🙏🏽🇮🇳🇬🇧
Indeed I second that one.
I don’t understand why this channel doesn’t have at least 3 times the number off subscribers it does. Nina is an excellent host who asks excellent questions and his guests are the geo political crème de la crème.
Because people don’t want to know the truth, they are happy being lied to and they lie to themselves 😂
Beacose, most people are happy, busy or lazy to spend some time to find alternative sources of information. It's much easier to see the information for a minute or two on BBC, CNN and other similar TRUTHTELER
You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT… words of reason. Thank you sir.
Dialogue Works for hearts, minds and souls that give a damn about reality. Thank you Nima and Scott for the discussion.
Nima talks are like held in a Zen garden... the have a calming effect on me.
Always good to see you sharing so much knowledge with us here in America. You’re one of the best our country has offer to us and the world. One of the best.😊
Excellent. One of the best programmes I have seen on these issues. Please do more!
Thanks for making my evening once again. The more we listen to Scott, the faster the time runs
Thank you Scott Ritter for your wisdom and honesty.
This Guy, Scott Ritter is a "Genius, " the way he explains, reasons and then depicts the situations in a sort of metaphorical way. ❤😂❤😂
Wow! Nima wrote a great summary in Scott Ritters book! 🙌
As usual pure commonsense, accurate knowledge,,expertise and practical experience. What more can I say.
.
NATO analogy had me literally belly laughing. Brilliant!

Becoming despondent in writing comments as they all disappear. How can UA-cam be punished for their flagrant suppression of free speech? We need to figure out a way
Weirdly enough most of my Replies stay while most of my Original Comments get deleted
Google is evil.
comment deleted 😊🇦🇺
Content posters have to unite and refuse to add new content for 2+ months until censorship stops ... 😊🇦🇺
Cry me a river.
Millions should watch this video. It's full of truths. No one in Washington has the cajones to utter it.
Much respect to Mr. Ritter.
Greetings from 🍁 ❤
You are the man. God bless you.
Nima it is so refreshing to see a journalist not interrupting his guests when they are talking. Thank you for that. I love your work and your calm demeanour. Keep up the good work. And many thanks for having Scott to tell it like it is and not deceive people. ❤
Thanks Scott Ritter
Great Nina and Scott
Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity.
In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas.
If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy.
Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements.
Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time
Russia's national security was compromised once NATO began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining NATO was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns.
20th September, 2021. Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO
NATO is not a defensive alliance. NATO illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter).
We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.
Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster?
Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest.
Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland.
Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed.
Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens-theirs will hide in the basements”.
Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it.
Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country.
Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list.
Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list.
There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence).
The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present.
Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave.
Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) R.I.P.
The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims).
The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter.
I have done a lot of research and it took me a long time to write this comment. I have stated a lot of facts and I have given my honest opinion.
I have provided a brief summary of events that took place. In order to explain this whole situation in great detail, a book would need to be written.
Hopefully someone will write an UNBIASED book, stating facts and allowing the readers to form their own judgments. Everything I said can be fact checked and verified.
Zelensky is a Puppet Actor and a Dangerous One!
Good summary, I've been trying to compile a time line of events leading up to 2014 and the interim to 2022.
It is difficult.
@@Davbach01 Where does one start? The fact is that the US and UK hate Russia and they have been trying to own it for many decades. President Putin came along and stopped their nefarious intentions. They hate him for it. Maybe listen to Putin's famous 2007 Munich speech. He criticized what he called the United States' monopolistic dominance in global relations, and its "almost uncontained hyper use of force in international relations". He said the result of such dominance was that "no one feels safe". Putin’s Munich speech was an important diplomatic warning to the United States and its allies that Russia’s patience with NATO’s encroachment was at an end. At the end of the Cold War the US/Nato promised Russia that it would not move "one inch east of the German border". Clearly, they lied.
Excellent summary. Look books from Jacques Baud: Operation Z, the Russian Art of War
Thank you from my heart for your commentary
from an American Russian
Thank you, gentlemen- have a wonderful weekend!
🙏🏻💪🙏🏻
Greetings from South Africa
Good evening from Cambodia 🇰🇭 The Kingdom of Wonders 🥳
A great Scott today.Thanks both of you.
If you dont like what scott says then you aint after the truth. The bitter truth is always better than a sweet lie and scott will tell it to us exactly like he sees it. 👏✌
I always said this and I’ll say it again, Scott Ritter is not a quitter.
Scott is the best man of truth
Right. After he got arrested for abuse of a minor he went right back and got arrested again. Ritter not a quitter!
Baerbock in regard to supporting Ukraine: "I dont care, what my voters want."
Indeed bonkers Baerbock as George Galloway says.
The German people should remember what 360bareback said.Time she was bounced
Friends Germany doesnt exist
I love Scotts passion, he is so knowledgeable ❤
Very emotional speech from Scott Ritter, Thank You!
Hey Ritter I'm from New Zealand !!! .... and agree with you totally 👍 😂

I feel that good will people will rise again soon to regain their peacefull independencies... it must be
all my respect & cheers from France
48:10 everybody buy this man's book!
Facing reality!
The coup in Kiev in 2014 was fundamentally economic, EU vs Russia. Yet, the "economic" document that defined EU deal with Ukraine in 2013/4 contained a clause that specified Ukraine was to prepare to join NATO. This was reported by the late Yale scholar Stephen F Cohen who one of the few people who read the enormous document given to Ukraine by the EU in 2013.
Even before Eisenhower 1961 farewell address to the nation, Yale sociologist C Wright Mills wrote about the MIC in his 1956 book "The Power Elite". Did anyone listen, or even care?
Good points, in addition Yanakovich in a meeting with Merkel around 2013-2014 said he's only suspending the EU arrangements, not stopping them, as he explained his (Ukraine's) economy is heavily dependent on trade with Russia. Merkel simply rejected a transition period expecting, as Yanukovych put it, allowing European imports to flood our country will cause huge economic disruption and instability.
Within a few months US and EU resolved that problem with the coup d'état.
@@Davbach01 yes. Although i lost the source (damn it), but i swear it said, Yanukovich chastised his own Party of Regions in spring of 2013 (if i recall correctly) for wanting an economic deal with Russia without knowing what the EU had to offer. ... During all the noise of the Maidan revolution in Dec 2013, i think it was, Putin himself proposed Ukraine be given "special" status being able to have economic deal with both Russia and the EU. Merkel initially went along with it, until the EU and Washington shut it down emphatically.
@@user-em4kb3gm8g l know how you feel about miss laying or losing a reference or source.
Medvedev was quite vocal, and understandably queried the reasoning behind Ukraine being locked into the EU for trade.
He saw no reason for them not to trade with Russia or any other country. Simply EU in CIS out.
@@user-em4kb3gm8g Just spent 30, 40 minutes responding and its gone.
Will start again.
Thank you Nima and Scott. May Allah bless you both.
allah doesn't exist 😂
It's a fairy tale for simpletons 😅
I loved the whole discussion bless you all❤
Thank you Nima,
Thank you Scott,
Nima you have a very interesting channel 👌
🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️
Excellent presentation both..
As of June 2023, the NZDF has a strength of 14,996 employees, consisting of 8,669 regular force personnel, 3,260 reserve force personnel and 3,067 civilian members. What a joke
Not the size of the army, but the fact Iceland is bang smack in the middle of the atlantic ocean, nz has no place in the north Atlantic treaty organisation. And I notice the pm has shut his mouth about Ukraine type of conflict happening in the Pacific, after the Trump assassination shambles.
I was in my early 20s before I met someone connected to the nz military and realised that joining the army etc was actually an option here. That’s how little it was advertised. And I’m probably a bit blind.
"PEACE is the enemy of America "
Julian Assange said " as soon as they'll pull out of the Afganistan , they'll start a new war , any war " ...
Very interesting. I learned a lot. Thank you both.
You too are courageous pioneers hoping to change the mindset of the establishment..
Arduous task but at least there are enlightened individuals like Scott n nima to start the ball rolling..
Our best wishes. From the global south
I nominate Scott to be head of world ,God bless him
UGLY TRUTH
THANK YOU
Hello everyone from Belfast UK 🇬🇧 😀 😎
Hello from Glasgow
Hello from Irealnd
"Back to 1980s, US had best military in the world". In 2020s, US was defeated and escaped in Afghan.
What a beautiful analogy… The eccentric American gambler! (NATO)
Ironically, this analogy seems very fitting given the circumstances! It’s time for the gambler to go to a support group and admit he has a problem!
AMEN SCOTT from Meadville Pa USA
BEAUTIFUL thank. You Very Much Guys❤😅
The arguments i read against Scott’s educated opinion are becoming more unpredictable and scatter brained. Most establishment media arguments end up conflicting past statements. The most notorious tactic I see being used is the same old lines of attacking the messenger or try to discredit them. It’s not working this time. Their playbook ran out the of pages
Good evening from New Zealand
And good evening to you too. Good to see a fellow kiwi.😊 (nelson)
A perfect display of reason/analysis so well done. Thank you Scott, appreciate your military intelligence, just wish I had the same articulation.
Scott Ritter ist beyond doubt one of the most outstanding analysts so he is in the same moment in the conflict with the west establishment . But his way of seeing/interpreting the world make this same world a reasonable and transparent place. One can only hope for apprehension and reason for the sake of all of us.
Scott is the Man. He always spits the facts as they are and i really appriciate his knowledge, wisdom and bravery.
great interview
Greetings from Singapore
Excellent as always
Nice work Nima and scott...
I just don't understand why people like Larry supports Vance... vance is a part of the establishment and thats why he talks exactly like pompeo and Bolton about middle east .... yesterday, redacted invited Whitney webb and she explained perfectly who Vance is
It was fantastic Scott. God bless you for being a voice for truth.
Thanks to the host for organizing this talk
Always nice to hear you talking.Thank ypu.
Perhaps on of the reasons the money continues to be sent is that much of that money is distributed to European insiders?
Totally agree Scott. So frustrating that we as individuals can't seem to do anything about it.
So glad I listened ALL of this conversation today. It confirmed everything going through my mind. A very big thank you 🙏
Excellent show as usual.
OMG
Nobody- NOBODY is as funny as Scott!
Finland/NATO/Bases/Infrastructure nade me laugh so much and so hard I had to stop the video until i could breath and wipe the tears from my eyes.
How can anyone not love and respect this man is beyond me.
When i finally learned the full story of our Government's actions against him, i realized who and what Scott is .
A Fearless Truth Teller with a Russian soul. He has dedicated his life to making the Wotld safer and saner. For Everyone.
Semper Fi
God Bless Scott Ritter
Slava Russia
