China has publicly issued this bold statement.

Don’t you think other countries should follow suit for the betterment of humanity?

Finally watched The Voice of Hind Rajab this weekend, and it’s still hard to stop thinking about 2 days on. It took a 6 year old narrating her own death to catch the world’s attention. How many more stories like this don’t we know?

Perhaps this is the first time in MSF’s history that the org has been expelled from a country on the accusation of being a “military infrastructure” that “shields terrorism,” echoing the same key allegations used by Israel against the entire healthcare to justify genocide.

Undeclared wars are commonplace.

0:05

Tragically, our government engages in

0:07

preemptive war, otherwise known as

0:09

aggression, with no complaints from the

0:12

American people. Sadly, we have become

0:14

accustomed to living with the

0:16

illegitimate use of force by government.

0:18

To develop a truly free society, the

0:21

issue of initiating force [music] must

0:22

be understood

0:24

and rejected.

0:26

What if sometimes to love your country

0:29

you had to alter or abolish the

0:30

government? What if Jefferson was right?

0:33

What if that government is best [music]

0:34

which governs least?

0:37

What if it is dangerous to be right when

0:39

the government is wrong? [music] What if

0:41

it is better to perish fighting for

0:44

freedom than to live as a slave? What if

0:47

freedom’s [music] greatest hour of

0:49

danger is now?

Scott Ritter will be with us in just a

1:11

moment on this intriguing topic. Is

1:14

President Trump about to launch a new

1:17

arms race?

1:19

But first, this. Don’t you just cringe

1:21

when people say, “I told you so.” Sorry,

1:24

I told you gold and silver would reap

1:26

the benefits due to excessive money

1:29

printing, inflation, and global

1:31

uncertainty. It’s here. It’s happened.

1:34

Gold and silver [music] have reached

1:36

all-time highs. Did you call Lear

1:38

Capital and buy some? It’s not [music]

1:40

too late. Experts are predicting higher

1:43

prices ahead. Why? Nothing has changed.

1:46

Geopolitical chaos, cost of living

1:49

crisis, [music] and a weaker dollar are

1:51

driving central banks to boost their

1:53

gold reserves. Forecast [music] suggest

1:55

gold could hit $6,000 an ounce and

1:58

silver $200 an ounce. Even Morgan

2:02

Stanley ditched the 6040 rule for 60

2:30

Scott Rder. Welcome here. Uh my dear

2:33

friend. Before we uh get into

2:36

uh the potential of President Trump

2:38

igniting an arms race by not addressing

2:41

President Putin’s uh offer to extend the

2:44

new start to to the breaking news. Did

2:47

an Iranian um uh drone attempt to attack

2:53

the USS Abraham Lincoln? And was it shot

2:56

down by an American jet fighter?

2:59

Well, I don’t know if an Iranian drone

3:01

attempted to attack

3:02

[snorts]

3:02

um the the US Abraham Lincoln. Uh an

3:06

Iranian drone may have been searching

3:08

for the Abraham Lincoln and was deemed

3:11

to be a threat and [clears throat] u was

3:13

shot down by an American fighter. Um you

3:16

know, I think the United States is very

3:19

uh protective of um you know, this

3:21

legacy strategic asset known as the

3:23

carrier battle group. Uh we’ve known for

3:26

some time that there are you know

3:28

vulnerabilities attached to this weapon.

3:30

Uh we’re worried about area denial

3:33

weapons um ballistic missiles. Um if you

3:36

remember uh a while back uh under the

3:39

bid administration actually when um the

3:42

the coming out of the Marine Corps u

3:45

basically said I’m directing the Marine

3:47

Corps to change every way it does

3:48

amphibious warfare because uh we relied

3:52

on legacy systems big amphibious warfare

3:55

ships where we put you know 900 Marines

3:57

on it and if we close with nations that

3:59

have ballistic missiles we’re going to

4:00

lose that ship and we’re going to lose

4:02

all the Marines. So, we need to change

4:03

the way we’re doing business. Um, it’s

4:06

the same holds true with an aircraft

4:08

carrier. If an aircraft carrier gets in

4:09

range of a nation that has ballistic

4:12

missiles that have hypersonic

4:13

capability, maneuvering warheads with

4:16

advanced targeting systems, we’re going

4:17

to lose an aircraft carrier. And Iran is

4:20

one of those nations that has missiles

4:21

capabilities of this nature. So, what

4:23

we’re doing is keeping the carrier uh,

4:26

you know, removed from Iran a distance.

4:29

And we don’t want the Iranians to know

4:30

where this carrier is. So the Iranians

4:32

are out there criss-crossing the ocean

4:33

with drones looking for it and I think a

4:35

drone got a little too close and was

4:37

shot down.

4:38

But the the use of drones for

4:40

surveillance purposes is obviously

4:42

loyal,

4:44

excuse me, is obviously legal. We all do

4:46

it.

4:48

Yeah. Just don’t get too close to an

4:50

aircraft carrier.

4:51

All right. Uh, was there also, as far as

4:54

you know, an effort by um Iranian

4:57

gunboats to detain or deter or interfere

5:01

with the travel of an American oil

5:03

tanker?

5:04

There was an American flag tanker that

5:06

came into contact with Iranian vessels

5:09

that uh I think attempted to call over.

5:12

Look, the United States advertently or

5:14

inadvertently violates Iranian

5:16

territorial waters on a regular basis.

5:18

Uh if you’re not careful as you go

5:20

through the straight of Hormuz um and

5:22

you you know allow your ship to drip off

5:24

you you can drift into Iranian

5:26

territorial waters. It happens

5:27

frequently. Um and it may a ship may

5:30

have drifted in and the Iranians u

5:33

called it out and the ship kept going.

5:35

Um who knows? I don’t know all the

5:37

details of it but uh it there wouldn’t

5:40

shock me if something like that

5:41

occurred.

5:43

What is the background on the New START

5:46

treaty that uh expires at the end of the

5:49

day on Thursday this week? And do we

5:52

know why uh the Trump administration has

5:56

not responded to President Putin’s offer

5:58

to extend its terms?

6:01

Well, we call it New START because it

6:03

replaced the old START treaty. Uh the

6:05

original start treaty that was signed in

6:07

uh 1991

6:09

um between President Bush and um Mikuel

6:14

Gorbachov. There were different

6:15

iterations of it. Start TR start two

6:18

actually got signed um and was going to

6:21

be ratified, but the Russians pulled

6:23

ratification because the United States,

6:24

you know, cheats and does a whole bunch

6:26

of other stuff. Start 3 never got out of

6:27

the starting blocks because again

6:29

because of what the United States was

6:30

doing with anti-bballistic missiles. Um

6:33

start expired and when start expired um

6:37

we needed a new start treaty. So in 2010

6:41

Barack Obama uh sent a negotiating team

6:44

led by uh Rose Gutler and um she met

6:48

with a Russian negotiating team led by

6:51

Anatoli Antinov. He was the former

6:53

ambassador Russian ambassador United

6:55

States. uh he was directed by Midv to

6:58

negotiate a new treaty. Um there’s some

7:02

important things here uh that people

7:04

need to keep in mind. Uh first of all,

7:06

Congress when talking to the Obama

7:09

administration said we’ll be willing to

7:12

ratify a new start treaty so long as

7:15

there’s no breakin verification between

7:19

the old start and the new start. Why?

7:22

because Congress had grown comfortable

7:25

with knowing

7:27

what the Russians were up to. And that’s

7:29

what arms control does. It not only puts

7:31

caps on it, but through compliance,

7:32

verification, inspections, the exchange

7:35

of data, you become comfortable with

7:37

what the other side has, what they’re

7:39

doing with it, and you’re not afraid of

7:41

it. So, Congress said, “We’ll support

7:43

this treaty as long as there’s not a

7:45

gap. But if there’s a gap and we lose

7:47

touch with what the Russians are doing,

7:49

we won’t support this treaty because we

7:51

won’t have confidence in the numbers.

7:53

That’s what I’m trying to tell you. When

7:55

this expires and it’s not extended, that

7:58

cap, 1550,

8:01

we’re suddenly going to say, well, we

8:02

don’t know. Do the Russians have 1550?

8:05

Did they get rid of some? Did they build

8:06

more? We don’t know because we don’t

8:08

have inspectors. We’re not exchanging

8:09

data. Suddenly becomes a big unknown.

8:11

And from [clears throat] that fear, we

8:12

tend to react. The other factor in too

8:15

is China. China because of the again the

8:18

genius of Donald Trump in his first term

8:20

where he changed a nuclear employment

8:21

plan so we could carry out a nuclear

8:23

first strike against China because the

8:25

Chinese said, “Hey, wait a minute.

8:27

You’re threatening to come to the aid of

8:29

Taiwan and attack us. We have hotheads,

8:32

you know, the equivalent of Pete Hegith.

8:34

We’ll kill them. We’ll knock them. Nuke

8:36

them. We got them taken care of.” The

8:38

Chinese went, “Okay, well, you won’t

8:40

because we’re going to build up our

8:41

nuclear capability so that we can ride

8:43

out your attack and launch an attack

8:45

against you.” And the United States

8:47

went, “Well, we we we can’t do that. So,

8:49

we need more nuclear weapons, but we’re

8:52

limited because we have 1,550 capped by

8:54

the New START treaty.” So, there’s a lot

8:56

of people say we have to let this treaty

8:57

die so we could build more nuclear

8:59

weapons or put more warheads on existing

9:01

nuclear weapons so we have enough to

9:03

handle the Russian target set and the

9:05

Chinese target set. So there’s a lot of

9:06

factors going in. But the the the real

9:08

point I want to make is that new start

9:11

didn’t happen in a vacuum. As I said, it

9:13

was linked to START treaty, but the

9:14

START treaty was linked to the INF

9:16

treaty, which created on-site

9:17

inspections. By the way, again, you’re

9:18

talking to the first inspector on the

9:21

ground in the Soviet Union to implement

9:22

the INF treaty. That’s my legacy of

9:25

putting that flag wherever I can. But uh

9:27

I’m very proud of that fact. But the

9:28

point is, you know, the INF treaty

9:31

invented on-site inspectionbased uh

9:34

compliance, monitoring and verification

9:36

efforts. Prior to that, we had the salt,

9:38

strategic arms limitation treaties. Why

9:41

did we able to talk about limiting?

9:43

Because we had the anti-bballistic

9:44

missile treaty, which said we have to

9:46

stop this arms race. This isn’t the

9:48

first time we’ve had an arms race. We

9:50

had an arms race back in the 1960s where

9:52

we’re building missiles and missiles and

9:53

missiles and we went from a few hundred

9:55

warheads to a couple thousand to 30,000

9:57

warheads on each side and we were going

10:00

to build more until finally the the

10:01

sanity kicked in and we said stop

10:03

mutually assured destruction

10:05

anti-bballistic missile defense. Since

10:07

we can’t defend ourselves, we don’t need

10:08

all these numbers. We can start limiting

10:10

it, start reducing them. And the

10:12

anti-bballistic missile treaty was

10:14

founded on the principles of the

10:16

non-prololiferation treaty that

10:18

basically said we don’t want to

10:19

proliferate nuclear weapons. We want to

10:21

have them in the hands of the nations

10:23

that have them and they need to promise

10:24

to get rid of them. So the ABM treaty

10:26

began a cycle that saw us go from 30,000

10:30

to 5,000 to 4,000 to 1,550 where we are

10:33

today. Slowly living up to the promises

10:36

of NPT. When new start expires, wipe the

10:39

board clean. None of that counts

10:41

anymore. We go back to square one. When

10:44

I say square one, I mean the end of the

10:46

nuclear non-prololiferation treaty.

10:47

You’re going to see the proliferation of

10:50

nuclear weapons in nation states that

10:52

for decades have not gone that route

10:55

because of the arms control legacy that

10:58

Donald Trump is getting ready to flush

11:01

down the toilet. Why would Trump and Heg

11:04

Seth and Rubio want another arms race

11:07

after the lessons of the time period

11:10

that you’ve just described?

11:12

Because they’re ignorant as the day is

11:14

long because they’re ideologues. They’re

11:16

not specialists. Um, you know, here’s

11:19

here’s the other problem. We all the all

11:22

that treaty stuff I was talking about,

11:23

you know, it started there was a guy

11:25

named Paul Nichi. Um, he he was a guy

11:28

that was at Hiroshima. He did one of the

11:29

studies after Hiroshima. He knows what

11:31

nuclear weapons are. He’s also the guy

11:32

that wrote uh NC68, which was the Cold

11:35

War containment, the militarized created

11:38

the Cold War back in 1950. And he’s been

11:41

around. He was the guy that was the

11:42

negotiator for the intermediate nuclear

11:44

forces treaty. He went from, you know,

11:47

seeing nuclear weapons, the birth of

11:48

nuclear weapons, he understood what they

11:50

were, and he helped create a treaty that

11:52

got rid of them. uh the people that he

11:54

helped mentor the arms control

11:55

specialists um you know all developed it

11:58

during the you know this the guys who

12:00

negotiated MPT who negoti negotiated ABM

12:03

you know Ray McGovern he was involved in

12:05

the ABM treaty in the early ages of of

12:07

the soul treaty you know me a guy who

12:09

was involved in INF and start um

12:12

we had a whole bunch of people who

12:14

specialized in this and then we just

12:17

stopped caring I just wrote a three-part

12:20

u series in my substack about the end of

12:23

the ABM treaty, but it talks about how

12:25

the linkage with all the other treaties

12:27

as well. The the the the thing is when

12:35

we we have these specialists that that

12:38

do this job, uh it was based upon the

12:41

notion of equality, parody. We feared

12:44

the Soviets because we knew what they

12:46

had. When the Soviet Union collapsed and

12:50

George W. Bush decided he was going to

12:53

get out of the anti-bballistic missile

12:54

treaty so that he could build a missile

12:56

defense shield. Vladimir Putin said,

12:58

“Uh, if you do this, first of all, we’re

13:01

going to we’re going to you we’ll never

13:03

ratify Stark 3. We’re going to get rid

13:05

of that.” Um, and we may have to put

13:07

warheads back on our missiles and we

13:09

have to build new missiles. And Coen Pow

13:11

of all the people who knows better, Coen

13:14

Pow, because Coen Pow was around in INF

13:16

and start, he knows better. Co pound

13:17

said, “We’re not worried about that

13:19

because they lost the Cold War and they

13:22

don’t have the capabilities. They can do

13:24

anything they want. We’re not concerned

13:26

about that.” Well, guess what they did?

13:28

They modernized everything. They have

13:29

the most advanced system today. But

13:31

that’s the mindset that’s set in. If you

13:34

don’t exercise a muscle, that muscle

13:36

atrophies. Arms control is a muscle. It

13:40

needs to be exercised intellectually. It

13:42

needs to be exercised physically through

13:44

on-site inspection and the other work.

13:46

When we stop doing it, the muscles

13:49

atrophy and it gets replaced by

13:51

ideologues who buy into the nonsense

13:54

that we are an unmatched hegeimon who

13:57

gets to dictate outcomes anytime we

13:58

want. And we have an arms control

14:00

community that has never caught up with

14:02

reality. Vladimir Putin tried to warn us

14:04

about this in 2016. He told uh American

14:07

journalists uh hey this ABM treaty,

14:10

you’re going to make us build weapons we

14:12

don’t really want to build, but we’re

14:13

going to have no choice. 2018 he came

14:14

out and said you weren’t listening to me

14:16

let me introduce Sarma let me introduce

14:18

Avanguard let me introduce Poseidon are

14:20

you listening to me now and the answer

14:22

was no because then they had to go in

14:24

and build it and build these missiles

14:26

and now he’s put them on active combat

14:29

duty Russia has the most advanced

14:31

nuclear weapons program in the world

14:33

because of what we did not because they

14:36

wanted it but because we withdrew from

14:38

the anti-bballistic missile treaty and

14:40

we didn’t treat them seriously and so we

14:42

are reaping what we sow They say, “Sow

14:44

the wind, reap the whirlwind.” Well, the

14:46

whirlwind’s heading to town, people. And

14:48

guess what? Russia’s already made the

14:50

capital investment. Their weapons exist.

14:53

We haven’t made the capital investment.

14:55

All the things that Donald Trump wants

14:57

to do, we’re going to have to start from

14:58

scratch, and we don’t have the money for

15:01

that. All the things that Donald Trump

15:04

wants to do are based on almost a

15:07

childlike attitude of we got to be

15:09

bigger, better, and stronger than they

15:10

are. Even though we already all have

15:13

enough nuclear weapons to do what to the

15:16

earth? Turn it into a sender

15:19

400 times. Look, but again, the

15:22

beautiful thing about being a historian

15:24

is that the the the the you know that

15:26

old saying that those who fail to learn

15:29

the lessons of history are doomed to

15:31

repeat it.

15:32

Well, guys, this ain’t the first rodeo.

15:37

All right. People like me have been

15:38

around a long time. And people like Ray

15:40

McGover have been around a lot longer.

15:42

All the arguments you hear that you

15:43

think are innovative coming from the

15:45

Trump administration, they’ve been said

15:47

before. The same arguments were made in

15:49

the 60s. The same arguments were made in

15:51

the 70s. The same arguments were made in

15:53

the 80s. The same concept of we have to

15:56

be the unmatched nuclear superpower. We

15:59

have to have all the strength. We’re

16:00

America. We can do this. And every time

16:02

we did up, we ran up against the brick

16:04

wall of reality called Russia or the

16:07

Soviet Union. And then people like me

16:11

and like Ray and every stepped in. We

16:13

went, “We got this, boys. Stop that

16:14

nonsense about being unmatched nuclear

16:16

hedgeimon. Let reality kick in.” The

16:18

arms controllers came in and we solved

16:20

the problems. We got back to parody. We

16:23

calmed things down. But every

16:25

generation, these morons sitting in the

16:27

basement eating raw meat, looking at old

16:29

John Wayne videos are coming out going,

16:31

“Hey, we got to be bigger and stronger

16:33

than everybody cuz we’re America.” And

16:34

they come out and they convince stupid

16:36

politicians because politicians, you get

16:38

votes by going USA, USA, USA. You know

16:40

how you don’t get votes? Hey, maybe

16:42

we’re not as strong as we think we are,

16:43

guys. What do you mean we’re not strong?

16:45

Says the average American from their

16:47

suburban home. What do you mean we’re

16:48

not strong? We’re America. We can do

16:50

anything. We can’t, guys. And there used

16:53

to be smarter people. Richard Nixon

16:55

learned that lesson. Ronald Reagan

16:58

learned that lesson. Nobody called Nixon

17:01

or Reagan weak. They learned this

17:03

lesson. Donald Trump’s not learning the

17:05

lesson. He’s listening to stupid people.

17:08

I mean, Marco Rubio is just a cold war

17:10

who hates Russia. Pete Hgsth, as I’ve

17:12

said before, he’s just as ignorant as

17:14

the day is long. He should never have

17:15

risen above, you know, battalion

17:17

operations officer, let alone become

17:19

Secretary of Defense. Go back, look at

17:21

the names that are carved on the

17:23

pantheon of history who were secretaries

17:25

of defense. Uh these are people who were

17:27

brilliant, people who knew what they

17:29

were doing, people who had innovative

17:31

ways of thinking. Pete Hexet just wants

17:33

to do a goddamn push-up. I don’t want a

17:36

Secretary of Defense that does a

17:37

push-up. I want a Secretary of Defense

17:38

that knows about, you know, throwaway

17:40

and knows about meat tonnage and knows

17:42

what it costs to produce a missile. I

17:44

don’t want some idiot that goes, “We can

17:45

do it because we’re America. We’re

17:47

America. We could do anything.” No,

17:48

Pete, you’re fired. We should fire him,

17:50

but we’re not going to because Donald

17:52

Trump loves this kind of stuff. Because

17:54

Donald Trump likewise isn’t Richard

17:57

Nixon came from a briefing. I mean, it

17:59

started with John F. Kenny who came from

18:00

the first briefing that was given about

18:02

the the uh integrated operations plan uh

18:04

the nuclear war plan. He walked down he

18:06

went and we call ourselves the human

18:07

race. We’re not going to do that. I’m

18:09

not going to give the orders to cause

18:11

hundreds of millions of people to die.

18:12

And John F. Kenny began the push back

18:14

against the defense industry saying no

18:16

to your stupid nuclear war plans. We

18:19

have to have a better way of doing

18:20

business than just killing everybody.

18:22

Lyndon Johnson did the same thing.

18:23

Richard Nixon came out and said this is

18:26

insanity. You have to give me options.

18:28

You can’t just have me kill everybody.

18:30

Gerald Ford, all the presidents. Ronald

18:33

Reagan woke up and said, “My god, you

18:35

want me to do what?” To destroy the

18:38

world. We have Donald Trump right now

18:40

who just doesn’t believe doesn’t take

18:42

this seriously.

18:44

Where are the Chinese in this, Scott?

18:46

Chinese just published a arms patrol

18:48

paper last fall that uh said, “Look,

18:50

we’re doing we’re doing because the

18:52

United States has threatened us with

18:53

preemptive nuclear attack.” Remember,

18:55

ladies and gentlemen, we live in a cause

18:56

and effect world. Nothing happens in a

18:58

vacuum. So for all the idiots, I was

19:00

going, “Oh, the Chinese, the Chinese

19:02

were satisfied with having 200 nuclear

19:06

weapons not loaded on their missiles,

19:08

their missiles not in a fully

19:09

operational status. Um, and they’re

19:12

willing to let that happen because they

19:14

basically were saying if you attack us,

19:16

we’ll have enough survive that we can

19:17

get to you.” And what we said is no, we

19:20

uh we want to we want to we want to be

19:22

able to kill all your missiles in the

19:24

silo and therefore neuter you so you you

19:27

can’t oppose us when we come to Tai

19:29

Taiwan.

19:31

Listen to what people are saying about

19:32

Bram. I mean it’s it’s hilarious that

19:36

people aren’t picking up on this. You

19:37

know, everybody thought we were in

19:38

Afghanistan because of the global war on

19:40

terror and we had this giant airfield in

19:42

Bram and you know, we had a lot of

19:44

fighter airplanes stationed there. And

19:47

um listen to the people say, “Well, we

19:50

have to get back to Bram because look

19:52

where it is on the map. Look where our

19:54

planes could go when they take off. They

19:56

could go over western China where the

19:57

Chinese are, you know, digging holes in

19:59

the ground, putting missiles on. We need

20:01

Bram [clears throat] so that we can

20:02

interdict the Chinese missiles.” And now

20:05

we’re out of Bram and we lost that

20:07

capability. The Chinese aren’t stupid.

20:09

They know what we’re doing. So the

20:11

Chinese now are modernizing their

20:13

nuclear force. But we’re projected

20:15

because we mirror image everything. We

20:17

say they’re going to try and match us

20:18

what we’re saying, no, we just need 600

20:22

uh now because now you can’t

20:24

preemptively take us out and what we

20:25

have surviving, we can destroy you. Um,

20:29

but the Chinese have also said because

20:31

Trump is saying we have to get the

20:33

Chinese to the table. And the Chinese

20:36

are saying, “Hey, don’t talk to us about

20:38

coming to the table. We had 200. You had

20:40

1,550.

20:42

If you want us to come to the table, why

20:45

don’t you drop your numbers first? Get

20:47

your numbers down to where we are. We

20:49

don’t want to bring our numbers up to

20:50

you. Get your numbers down.” The Chinese

20:52

in their white paper said it’s important

20:54

for Russia and the United States to get

20:56

their collective act together to

20:58

re-engage on arms control so that the

21:00

nations that have the largest nuclear

21:02

war weapons arsenals in the world

21:04

stabilize their situation. Well, get

21:06

your act together, stabilize your

21:08

situation, and then invite us to the

21:10

table. But don’t sit here and try and

21:12

bully us into coming into this table

21:14

with some stupidity about you’re afraid

21:16

of our nuclear weapons, our 200, then

21:19

you threaten us with the preemptive

21:20

nuclear strike, so we go to 600 and now

21:23

we’re the problem. No, America, you’re

21:26

the problem.

21:31

Why does Trump want to uh attack Iran?

21:36

He doesn’t want to attack Iran. This is

21:38

just Donald Trump’s uh you know folly.

21:41

If he thought he could get away with it,

21:42

if he thought he could pull a Venezuela,

21:44

you know, come in and do a quick strike

21:46

and get the get the objectives, but the

21:48

objectives that need to be gotten are

21:50

regime change and it has to happen

21:52

quick. the Israelis have put Donald

21:54

Trump on notice that if there is an

21:56

attack against um against Iran that it

22:00

has to kill the regime and it has to

22:02

happen quickly like 3 to 5 days because

22:05

Israel can absorb 700 Iranian ballistic

22:08

missiles and no more. Uh Israel doesn’t

22:10

want to absorb 700 missiles unless the

22:13

price that they’re paying by absorbing

22:15

these missiles results in an outcome

22:16

that has the theocracy eliminated and

22:19

Iran eliminated as a threat. And so

22:22

Donald Trump now is looking at it and

22:23

his military people are saying, “We

22:24

can’t do it, boss. Can’t accomplish

22:26

that. That mission cannot be

22:28

accomplished.” He’s sending all the

22:29

ballistic missile defense forces in the

22:31

region. It’s not enough. His experts are

22:33

saying, “Um, you know, boss, uh, during

22:37

that 12-day war, we had all the THAAD

22:39

batteries and the Patriot 3 batteries

22:40

integrated with the A3s, the David

22:42

Slings, and the Aegis, and we couldn’t

22:44

stop the missiles. Now you’re sending in

22:46

resources to the Middle East that aren’t

22:48

nearly what we had to defend Israel. And

22:50

you think they’re going to defend our

22:51

bases? Isn’t going to happen, boss. If

22:53

we go to war, they’re going to take out

22:55

our bases. And thousands of Americans

22:56

are coming home in body bags. And we

22:58

can’t win this war. It’s going to last

23:00

forever. And Donald Trump finally, his

23:02

brain went, “That means I lose the

23:03

midterm.” [sighs and gasps] And now we

23:05

come to the real crux of the problem.

23:07

This is about American politics. Donald

23:09

Trump’s already in trouble because of

23:10

Milwaukee. I mean, he’s he what

23:13

in Minneapolis? Uh yeah, Minneapolis,

23:15

I’m sorry. Uh you know, ICE has

23:18

destroyed his credibility and uh there’s

23:21

a good chance he’s going to lose the

23:22

house just on ICE alone. Now, if he gets

23:24

us involved in a war with Iran where

23:26

thousands of Americans die and it’s a

23:28

long dragged out dragged out fight

23:30

costing us hundreds of billions of

23:32

dollars, no end in sight, thousands of

23:34

American dead, he’s done. And by done, I

23:36

mean he doesn’t just lose the house. You

23:38

lose the house, you’re going to be

23:39

impeached every day of the week for the

23:41

rest of his term. That’s just the

23:42

reality. Democrats prevent that. It’s

23:43

going to happen. You lose the Senate,

23:45

you can become convicted, then you go to

23:47

jail. So, Donald Trump is is is looking

23:51

at his political future and personal

23:52

future being flushed down the toilet of

23:54

life because of his stupidity. He is not

23:57

going to attack Iran because the

23:59

military can’t guarantee him the vic

24:00

vict the quick victory he must have. So,

24:03

he’s done a lot of blustering, but now

24:05

he’s at the negotiating table. And I

24:07

think we’re going to be at the

24:08

negotiating table for a long time up

24:10

until at least the midterms come in.

24:12

Does Benjamin Netanyahu understand that

24:15

the United States cannot achieve any

24:18

military objective in Iran?

24:20

Oh yes. Look, it’s it was Benjamin

24:23

Netanyahu that called up Donald Trump at

24:25

the end of the 12-day war, begging

24:27

Donald Trump to intervene and stop the

24:29

Iranian missiles from hitting Israel

24:31

because Iran was dialed in. The final

24:34

days of the war, Iran was sending a

24:36

missile in. It was hitting a target and

24:38

the Israelis knew exactly what that

24:39

target was. They wouldn’t let anybody

24:41

else see. But the Israelis knew that the

24:43

Iranians hit a room or a you know a a a

24:46

facility that was very specialized, very

24:49

sensitive that you could only know about

24:50

if you had really good intelligence. And

24:52

they obliterated and the Israelis went,

24:54

“Wait a minute. They’re starting to take

24:55

out all the really high value stuff. We

24:58

need this war to end because we can’t

24:59

stop those missiles. If this continues,

25:01

it’s really going to hurt.” So they

25:03

begged Donald Trump to stop the war.

25:05

Israel’s anti-bballistic missile

25:07

capability has not improved. Iranian

25:09

ballistic missile strike capability has

25:11

improved. The Israelis are the ones

25:13

telling Donald Trump, “Don’t attack

25:15

unless you can kill him.” And Donald

25:17

Trump’s being told by his people, “We

25:19

can’t kill him.” So, they know that. But

25:20

now Netanyahu has to play political

25:22

games because he’s in a political crisis

25:24

as well. So, he has to be seen as not

25:28

being afraid of of an attack, but it’s

25:30

an American decision. And so, that’s why

25:32

you’re seeing some noise out of there.

25:33

But the Israelis have been telling the

25:34

United States, “Do not pull the trigger

25:37

unless you can guarantee that you kill

25:39

the king. Don’t strike the king unless

25:42

you can kill.”

25:42

This is uh this is a series of two

25:46

extraordinary analyses, Scott, about

25:49

nuclear weapons and about the US,

25:51

Israel, and uh Iran. This is just uh

25:56

truly remarkable and and eyeopening and

25:58

I hope a lot of people pay attention

26:01

what you’ve said. We know somebody in

26:03

the West Wing watches us. Maybe some of

26:05

this will make its way into the Oval

26:07

Office. I don’t know. He’s got a very

26:08

thick skull and he’s got his own issues

26:11

domestically uh to deal with, but what

26:13

you’ve said is so rational. Thank you,

26:15

my dear friend. Thank you for joining

26:17

us. I know you’ve had a busy day and

26:20

maybe it’s not yet over, but thank you

26:21

for all your time with us, Scotty.

26:23

Well, thanks for having me. Thanks.

26:24

Sure. We’ll see you again soon. Uh

26:27

coming up tomorrow on Wednesday

26:29

uh at 8 in the morning, Gilbert Doctoro.

RIP Arms Control, 1972-2026

Scott Ritter

Feb 05, 2026

Today is the first day in 64 years where the world wakes up to find the institution of arms control and the framework of treaty-based agreements that protected humanity from the horror of nuclear weapons no longer exists.

We once held the prospect of peace in our arms.

Then we threw it all away.
