Russia has had enough. Russia is taking the gloves off. Russia’s Special Military Operation (SMO) is no longer. Peskov, who is Putin’s press guy, announced that everyone should be notified that Russia is now at war.
Scott Ritter goes on Judge Napolitano’s show Judging Freedom and talks about different things. Ritter talks about a lot of different issues in connection with the Ukraine war. One of the more interesting items is his discussion of the CIA.
The big topic on everybody’s minds is the NYTimes “expose.”
The Spy War: How the C.I.A. Secretly Helps Ukraine Fight Putin
What is probably the real news here is not necessarily the content but rather that it was published at all. Most of the public with any intelligence at all understand that the CIA staged a coup in 2014 to remove a duly elected Ukrainian government from office. This was done because the head of that government was friendly with Russia.

Ukraine is one of the most corrupt nations on the planet. This was true long before Zelenskyy came into office in Ukraine. It has not changed since then. The Trump impeachment over Ukraine exposed this for the general public to see. There has been little to no accounting of USAID money that has passed through our embassy there.
