Scott Ritter, Glenn Diesen – Russia has won Ukraine war; Russia also wants a Political settlement; Russia wants BRICS to be successful & the US should stop fighting against BRICS

by Glenn Diesen [12-1-2025] Scott Ritter(bio).

(RAD: Ukraine is collapsing both militarily & politically under the weight of corruption that also ignores the battlefield & economic realities. Russia can't be defeated militarily & this should have been evident from history before this conflict started. Russia's economy is also strong, even with all of the sanction. Ukraine's economy is collapsing. Ukraine is likely to be faced with unconditional surrender on Russia's terms that address all "root causes" of the West that led to this conflict. 

The West should normalize relations with Russia. The US should stop trying to defeat BRICS. Sanctions against Russia need to be ended. The US needs to figure out how to join the BRICS movement & stop fighting the multipolar changes. Much more is explained in this discussion. — RAD)

Scott Ritter is a former Intelligence Officer, US Marine, and UN Weapons Inspector. Ritter argues Russia has defeated NATO and Ukraine, and now faces a dilemma about what kind of peace it wants.
