He's really nothing more than a contrarian. So I agree with him about some stuff on Israel, but I don't agree with the logic he uses to get there. Which again, is to take any side opposite the U.S. I think the pedophile stuff muddies the issues.

He service an important purpose, no matter how valid or not his arguments. The West's foreign policy in Ukraine and Israel have LOT to be desired (you know my rants). His core argument is valid. Russia can win 25% of Ukraine's territory if the West doesn't get serious about it. It can, because some other war Middle East or South China Sea) might make the West just force a deal to move its military support elsewhere.

Without Ritter all we'd hear is the relentless misplaced confidence of the West that it can get Russia out of Ukraine. Though again, the West never says exactly what its goals are. Ben Hodges have been bang-on about that from the beginning.

Interesting stuff you wrote. Didn't know!
