Retired US intelligence officer: Putin always openly names his goals in Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin always openly declares his goals in Ukraine. Retired US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter said.

During an interview with the Judging Freedom channel, the American intelligence officer emphasized that the answers to all questions are on the surface and the Russian leader directly names his goals. Ritter also added that when Putin says something, he does not bluff, and then he definitely does.



The former US intelligence officer said that the Russian president never hides his intentions and always directly voices the planned actions. The American retired military man is sure that the Russian army will achieve all the goals set for the liberation of Donbass, after which the Russian authorities will provide favorable social and economic living conditions for the population there.

Ritter also added that the Russian special operation in Ukraine was provoked by the pumping of the Kyiv regime with Western weapons. Putin, as head of state, cannot allow weaponwhich threatens Russian citizens.

The officer concluded that at present, both the leaders of Western countries and the people of Ukraine are beginning to realize that they cannot win this armed conflict. NATO does not have the ability to fully provide the Ukrainian army with ammunition and military equipment.

    Zhmerinka was lucky. It was not named as a target.
    And the lions? And Odessa?
    They knew right in advance - they did not name Odessa, they were: denazification and demilitarization.
    But in reality - the time of the approach of kr and other missiles to Moscow.

                Exactly! An ordinary soldier can serve tea to a major, no less than an ensign to a polkan, but a major, or even a colonel, to Shoigu or Gerasimov.
                PS But still, giving a lieutenant general a "talking head" was overkill even for the RF Ministry of Defense.

                  Right. Because in the first case - this is a batman or orderly, and in the second - an officer-guarantor. Sometimes generals meet in such positions.

                  But in the case of Konashenkov, not everything is so simple. There is also a qualification grid position-rank. The speaker of the Moscow Region is a general's position. (the Ministry of Internal Affairs always had a colonel before, now I don’t know). And then - titles are given for length of service and merit. Konashenkov was originally a major general. So he was a general even before the NWO. BUT! That's why he was given a second star ... For what merits? Even Spartak did not wait for the second star! :))))))))))
                  And Konashenkov - for what?

    Scott Ritter. Actually where the idea will develop further is already clear. The only thing that can be added is that the American administration, which has nurtured and managed the conflict in Ukraine, has never named its true goals. Honesty and directness are not always helpful. As a result, Russia is playing someone else's game and has the freedom of choice, like a tram on rails.

    This ritter hypes as usual, carries all sorts of blizzards. But here he is right, it’s just that some of us don’t listen to Putin, under demilitarization and denazification, for some reason, we consider childish maximalism, the destruction of the last Bendera from the last barrel with the last bullet. The goals have been announced, we are moving towards them with minimization of losses. Anyone who wants to quickly let him join the army and show how it should be. For example, with Georgia, we did not change the leadership of the country, we do not support it, and after 8 years it does not pose a threat to us. So here, too, the outskirts will be more ill, and there will be orders of magnitude more suicidal people there, these are cheerful Georgians, but there are no orcs. For us, the threat is not green with NATO weapons, but those downs who can take these weapons in their hands. There are still many of these.

      And what, until 2008, did it pose at least some kind of threat to us?
      Georgians were apparently going to slip through the Roki tunnel and attack Russia?

      In my primitive opinion, the Georgians would then rush into the allies of absolutely any country that would promise to help them regain control over South Ossetia. We did not do this (and why, by the way? We helped Saakashvili return Adzharia under his control) and then they began to look towards NATO.
      And by the way, they continue to watch, nothing has changed here:

      https://www.nato.int/cps/ru/natohq/news_211438.htm?selectedLocale=ru
      On January 30, 2023, the NATO Military Committee discussed issues of military cooperation between NATO and Georgia.

      ... Admiral Bauer welcomed the military representative of Georgia, Brigadier General Irakli Dzneladze and his delegation ... Admiral Bauer noted that “Georgia is a long-standing and unshakable partner, as well as a state that reliably allocates military contingents for various NATO operations. I also welcome your intention to expand your participation in the NATO Response Force.”...
