Scott Ritter, retired US Marine Corps intelligence officer, said in his YouTube channel broadcast: USA Tour of DutyThe West will not be able to defeat Russia.
According to him, the Russian Federation understands that this conflict is directly related to the question of the survival of the country and is of an existential nature. As the former intelligence officer pointed out, the Russians cannot lose in this because otherwise the Russian Federation would “destroy”.
“The Russia they loved so hard, that they lifted from the ashes with such difficulty after the nineties, will fade into oblivion. Therefore, for Russia, this is a real life and death struggle,” he said.
Ritter also pointed out that Western technology and weapons were supplied to Ukraine so that the US would not receive “the bodies of American soldiers in bags”. According to the expert, this is the main advantage of Russia.
“You cannot surpass them (Russians – socialbites.ca) in suffering because they are ready to pay any price to protect their nation. And what price is the collective West willing to pay to inflict this pain on Russia? The answer is simple – almost nothing, ”added the former intelligence officer.
