🙋Thank you Rachel for timely information and for the expertise of Ritter. Rachel and Scott are a very small number of honest analysts who shine a light on the malfeasance of US foreign policy. We love and respect to Rachel. 🌹

Trump said....Trump said!! Trump said he would end the conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine in a matter of days (within days of his ascension to the throne).

He made similar overtures with regard to ending the genocide in Gaza/West Bank.

Virtually nothing he has said or promised has come about. Trump is a blowhard with no credibility and if he leads America into yet another aggression against a sovereign nation(Iran), his sad "legacy" will be further smeared(blood on his hands). Trump has aligned himself with the worst zionist warmongers on Earth. This will not bode well for the big talker as Iran presents a serious and justified defense against this unjustified attack/aggression.

This isn’t about nukes. It’s about Israel’s desire to eliminate those who they consider to be Amalek and expand the Greater Israel Project. Iran is an obstacle to their ambitions. Particularly with Iran’s standing with the Palestinian people against the jewish invasion of Palestinian homeland. The “nuclear threat” is the boogeyman that provides Israel with the pretense for the destruction of the Republic of Iran.

Scott's the perfect expert to discuss this. He's right, too, history is repeating itself in that region.

perhaps mr ritter should not have blocked his long-time followers who dared disagree with his rosy assessment of Trump's appointment of his AIPAC-approved cabinet during Orangeman's transition... instead, he was talking about how after Trump would come Vance and then after Vance Tulsi could take over, and boasting of how Trump pretty much has dictatorial powers (that was on a show with Jeff) but how we shouldn't worry because he was going to put america first

It's difficult to take seriously someone who berates the government for stepping on his rights while he himself practices denial of freedom of speech. My philosophy is if you can't handle criticism, you shouldn't expound your views publically.

If your neighbor told you it is going to attack you 20 years ago, and then it goes around attacking every one around you, it would be wise to prepare as it was just a matter of time. It looks like that's what Iran did. It sussed out all the options, paid attention to how the Israeli regime conducts its warfare, made strategic contingencies and waited for the right moment when it would have the greatest support. Obviously, with Netanyahu proclaiming it was going to expand its borders and that Iran was its greatest threat for Israeli's hegemony in the region, it seems to me they put all that on the table for discussion.

The thing about a bully is that it does not take into account that there would be somebody, somewhere that is not afraid of it. Israel has attacked Iran several times in the past and everyone was wondering, what will Iran do. Iran retaliated minimally. But this latest attack had to have been the last straw for Iran. Infiltrating the country and assassinating its leaders and scientists must have done it for Iran. Now it's on and we can only hope it doesn't blow the whole region out of control. The world may try to blame Iran, but it is clear the Israel was and has been the aggressor.

Trump is so over his head incapable of making any thoughtful decision so the world is a far more dangerous place then ever before

Trump is a monster and will go down in history as such.

Scott is smart, and he knows his history., However, he is too prone to flying off the handle and getting on people's case for their views. Which he does quite regularly on his show and in interviews. People say he rants a lot; I say he pontificates and proffers unnecessary tirades.

But there's no way on God's green Earth that Israel can defeat Iran. All of NATO put together can't beat Iran without using tactical nuclear weapons and boots on the ground.

Which is why it's so dangerous because the only solution is WMDs! Unless they change their mind and decide to become decent human beings. But that seems unlikely. :)

Mr. Trump sounds like there is something not functioning quite right with his intellect! It's almost as if his computer continually flip-flops between a one and a zero.

Some will contend that blackmail is in place and he worries for his family he so loves and the families who put trust in him as a USA leader like no other. I did.

I'm not sure if Trumps brain ever gets to 1 from 0.

I think it's a mistake for some to rank in Scott Ritter. He is indeed a patriot and man to has been there, done that. He desires peace. He's not a blood warhawk. The chosenite neocons are the armchair loonies who don't care and would happily put the world into an inferno. They are of their father and do their father's will.

I just love those who do their homework. I heard one source online that said in the clearing out of the Gaza strip that 11 Christian Churches were destroyed . Why does our press deviate from the whole truth, you need not answer that because I know.

I voted for a President who's promise was ' Make America Great again' and to become that person with the knowledge of making deals that focused on providing it's people with a improved economy. This promise will now never happen, never. Isreal is not our friend and never has been. We are a country of many peoples, what would happen if we backed all our peoples countries? He was baited as each other President since WW2. TURN OFF YOUR TVs and remember 911, then do some serious reading folks.
