💬 The US president “doesn’t care about the geopolitical nuances of Ukrainian battlefield locations,” the former US Marine Corps intelligence officer told Sputnik.

💬 “If Putin can convince him that the quickest route to a ceasefire is for Ukraine to leave” Russia’s new territories “and say no to NATO, that’s it. That’s all that has to happen for a ceasefire.”

💬 The Russian military has mastered drone warfare, counter-drone warfare, and new battlefield tactics to the point where its advance has become “an irreversible process,” the former US Marine Corps intelligence officer told Sputnik.

💬 “There’s nothing that can be done. Nothing can be done to stop this. The advantage is 100% Russia, and we’re looking at the Ukrainians on the verge of total collapse,” Ritter stressed.

💬 In November 2024, the CIA briefed Congress on the risks of a nuclear war breaking out, estimating that there was a “greater than 50% chance” thanks to the Biden administration’s decision to greenlight ATACMS strikes into Russia, the former US Marine Corps intelligence officer told Sputnik.

💬 Team Biden’s response? “We’re ready for that. If the Russians wanna play, we’re ready to go to nuclear war with them. This is the insanity that existed in November of last year!” Ritter stressed.

“Don’t worry about Congress. They don’t elect the president, and they will fall in behind the president, because if he can secure his base with a peace deal, he can ruin everybody in Congress, especially a Republican, who goes against him,” Ritter stressed.
