Scott Ritter Russia's Ukraine Endgame

The U.S. never intended to comply with the MOU; it was a charade to buy time for restocking weapons and stabilizing energy markets.

The MOU was a fake mechanism with no U.S. intent to comply.

The sanctions will fail because the U.S. lacks leverage over China and Russia, and SWIFT denial pushes countries to BRICS systems.

Trump will reverse the sanctions soon and falsely claim victory.

U.S. threats are repetitive bullying born of desperation; only respectful dialogue offers a viable path.

Trump's actions have accelerated the collapse of the American Empire, weakening the U.S. across all domains without benefiting average citizens.

U.S. nuclear use on Iran guarantees a retaliatory strike on a U.S. city and triggers a general nuclear exchange.

Russia would nuke Europe and China would nuke Japan to reestablish deterrence after U.S. nuclear use.

Russia has cut Black Sea ports, destroying most of Ukraine's economic potential, and is targeting logistics infrastructure, though European road and rail links persist.

British missile supplies and tech transfers won't change the war because Russia is destroying Ukraine's industry and intercepting most weapons. Russia's strike probability and destructive capability vastly exceed Ukraine's.

Russia demands unconditional surrender of Ukraine, total defeat of the Zelensky government, and European recognition of failure, with no compromise.

The U.S. is launching an unprecedented economic campaign to sever Iran's global financial connections and force it to stand alone.

Bessent's announcement is historically ignorant, economically suicidal, and will trigger a dollar collapse and global rejection of the U.S. The U.S. lacks allies, cannot control key straits, and will lose an oil war with China.

The U.S. is providing a cure period to avoid destabilizing the global financial system, but non-compliance will lead to exclusion from the dollar system.

Lang's statement effectively announces the dollar abandoning the world, which will kill the U.S. economy.
