IRAN: THERE ARE NO NEGOTIATIONS
Scott Ritter - ex US marine, military analyst, ex-weapons inspector - is firing on all cylinders in this interview.
He says it as it is, being a realist, and angry.
He pierces through the dust of Fox News propaganda on Iran, like a knife slicing butter.
He’s got to the point that he doesn’t give a damn, even if he’s called anti semitic.
He says he voted for Trump 3 times, in a victory of hope over tragedy - because the Democrat alternative was worse for America: Hiliary Clinton, Joe Biden or the cackling Kamala Harris.
But now he’s a very disillusioned man.
The last lines of Dylan’s Restless Farewell, 1964, come to mind:
But if the arrow is straight
And the point is slick
It can pierce through dust no matter how thick
So I’ll make my stand
And remain as I am
And bid farewell and not give a damn
Take-always from the interview
- Trump is not the president of the USA
- The USA under Trump has in effect killed the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty. That is a tragedy for mankind.
- There are no negotiations with Iran
- Regime change in Iran is the only strategy of USA-Israel: all the rest is deception
- America is not a democracy, it is run by money. Iran is more of a democracy.
- Iran being a large and technically accomplished nation, is the primary obstacle to the Greater Israel Project. That is why regime change is the only option for Israel
- The Israel Lobby in America has captured Congress with money. Thus explains why Netanyahu received 33 standing ovations when he gave an address to a joint sitting of Congress on 23 July 2024 during the worst of the mass killing and mass destruction of Gaza
- Trump the man is an ignorant narcissist who talks of “deals” rather than formal treaties between nation states. The change in language, echoed in the US corporate media, is a reflection of rejection of international law by the Trump 2.0 administration run by Zionist ideologues
