Watch now (43 min) | In the months of July and September 1940 the French historian and future resistance fighter Marc Bloch, who fought in World War I and World War II, wrote a short book called L'Étrange Défaite or Strange Defeat. It was a searing condemnation of the French high command and political class which was responsible for the humiliating defeat and disintegration of the French army with the Nazi invasion of France. Bloch, who went underground to fight the Nazi occupiers, was executed by the Gestapo in 1944. His book, published after the war, was the model for historian Andrew Bacevich’s book
After publicly promoting the event, and changing the venue due to "high demand," peace activists withdraw their invitation to Scott Ritter -- 11/11/2022
(Note – the article includes more – it is about Scott’s incredible persecution by “American Justice”)
Scott Ritter has been my hero for a long time -- because of his demonstrated high integrity, courage and patriotism. Until now I was unaware of the suffering and horror inflicted on him by the “American Justice”.
Thanks to Scott and by now famous video we know that the corrupt criminal monster, Joe Biden, knew with 100% certainty that Iraq had no WMD but Biden brazenly denigrated Scott’s testimony calling him “Scotty boy” and led us into Iraq war.
Let’s hope that he stays well and safe although Scott is on Nazi-Ukraine’s Kill list (with full knowledge of Biden and the US War party). Total censorship and oppression are now mandatory in the US so that bipartisan War party can conduct its proxy war against capitalist and democratic Russia and support the Nazi-dominated puppet government of Ukraine.
Let’s stand with Russia -- it fights for all of us. In regard of US proxy war against Russia, as Scott stated: “Russia is on the right side of history.”

Andrew Bacevich is nothing, if not reasonable, but his deference to the official American perspective when the subject of the War in Ukraine arose was surprising. To call Russia’s invasion of Ukraine “...an act of criminal aggression...” one needs to take an ahistorical view, and Bacevich is never ahistorical in his writing or speaking. Maybe he was overcompensating. The name Bacevich could be Russian, and so, maybe he was concerned about being accused of soft punching his cousins.
Apart from that, his contribution to the discourse on America never disappoints.
The "all-volunteer force" will, on the flip of a switch, turn into a conscription force comprised of a desperately poor population with nothing left to lose, except their lives. The sons and daughters of the warmongering elite will go to the library while the colored children will go to their deaths fighting on behalf of capitalism.

An outstanding interview -- although Bacevich misses the fact that Ukraine war was PROVOKED by the US. And - more on the terrorism of US Deep State:

Skip Bacevich and his newest book "After the Apocalypse" are great

Listened to this "report" twice.
So glad I found you in the ether. MSM drives me insane but you and many other in the ether help keep me centered
Cheers
It seems to me that posts are being repeated. Is this so? If so why?
Love what you write Chris. Your guests are spot on. Hard to swallow at times, but I want the truth.
Thanks a lot,
Stephen
