The West wants to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, the chances of this are minimal, this opinion was expressed by ex-intelligence officer of the US Armed Forces Scott Ritter in an interview with the YouTube channel Reporterfy Media & Travel.
Scott Ritter pointed out that the Western policy of pumping weapons into Ukraine had failed. According to him, Ukraine risks becoming the only truly losing party in this conflict.
‘The West, the US, and Europe have linked their main goal of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia to the Ukrainian conflict. They want to use this chance to defeat Russia,’ he revealed.
According to Ritter’s assessment, this plan will be extremely difficult to realise, as Russia has a nuclear arsenal and will never allow itself to be strategically defeated.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin called Western ideas of a new world order hypocrisy. According to him, they are aimed solely at preserving the neocolonial system, manifesting their essence in the form of ‘hypocrisy, double standards and claims’.
