Scott Ritter: US-Russia Negotiations Are Dead & the Leipzig Drone Attack was a False Flag

The U.S. diplomatic initiative is not serious about peace because the CIA's core mission regarding Russia is to kill Russians, and the U.S. continues to facilitate European support for Ukraine. The initiative is a desperate act to manage the impending collapse of Ukraine and the European political system, which Russia is winning decisively.

Russia's missile strikes on Kyiv are the appropriate response, and Russia must continue its offensive to destroy the Ukrainian state and eliminate the nationalist ideology that breeds hatred of Russians. Peace is impossible without constitutional changes recognizing Russian territorial acquisitions and a change in the Ukrainian government, as the current regime is the problem.

The Leipzig drone was a non-functional, homemade device that could not have carried out a real attack, making the incident a staged false flag.

The incident was likely designed to suppress domestic political support for the AfD party before elections, not to justify war with Russia.

European militaries, including Germany, Britain, and France, lack the logistical capacity and brigade-level readiness to conduct a war against Russia.

Ukraine is facing an extinction-level demographic crisis where recorded deaths are four times higher than births, and the military is financially and materially exhausted. Mobilizing women for drone operations is ineffective because they hesitate to kill, and Ukrainian drone operators are dying at a rate of up to two hundred per day.

Russian forces rapidly adapt to new Ukrainian drone technologies by analyzing captured equipment and deploying electronic warfare and interceptor drones. Russia has neutralized Ukrainian reliance on Starlink communications, rendering those drones ineffective on the battlefield. Russia has solved its missile production problems and possesses advanced drone and missile capabilities that Western analysts consistently underestimate.

Western expectations of a Russian coup or revolution are ignorant; there is no anti-Putin sentiment, and the population is unified behind the war. Russia's economic and political systems are fully operational and strengthening, making any reversal or deliberate suicide impossible.

The U.S. made a strategic mistake by rejecting Putin's Alaska compromise, which was the last chance for a managed outcome preserving Ukraine. Russia will not repeat that compromise mistake, as global shifts have empowered it to pursue a decisive victory that will destroy Western anti-Russian structures.

A full Russian victory is necessary to achieve a lasting peace, as lesser outcomes will only perpetuate the conflict. Neither Europe nor the U.S. ever wanted peace with Russia, and a Russian victory will force Europe to abandon NATO/EU structures and compel U.S. recognition of Russia as an equal.
