Scott Ritter; Ukraine, Nato, & Finland part 2
video link and KGRaS transcript part 2
Greetings everyone, thanks for reading, hoping this finds you well. This morning before i passed out , cooked, i’d spent my night possessed to do something positive for the good of Womanity in light of the neverending lies and deceit, and felt compelled to type a transcribe of the talk you can hear , below, by Scott Ritter in the first link below, to part 1 of the official KGRaS transcript, by yours truly , Generally Regarded as Safe, Grasshopper Radio Service.
These are Scott Ritter’s words, whose name has been at least on the periphery of my radar for several decades…long ago over the hills and far away when i was a wee lad stoned on a wee bit of weed and the left , whatever that is, (purportedly) supported peace…i remember Scott had quit in protest, before we reinvaded Irag, before hacksxxxxines and anthrax letters and bioweapons labs in the Ukraine, but i digress. Part 1 transcript link:
i sure hope this link works, if not, just dig in my stack, and if you are reading the email, it seems to have gotten the full part 1 as far as i could see, but for the end of a word the letter “t” . If you find that error, you will feel bright and special in my book…anyway, i like at least one or two spell errors, heck.
Here is the link for the video alone.
So far so good, okay. And, finally, before we dig in with part 2, which is the transcript from i recall approx 37 minutes in, the last section of Scott’s incredible herstory lesson and speak, thanks kindly to Scott, let’s also give thanks to ta kloka beslut , i’m gonna hit that subscribe button for ta, and for the folks where i saw this first, i think it was a Mike Whitney post in unz, from a comment therein, and also posted in the saker.is ; vineyard of the saker.is
yup; this stuff is too important, i’m gonna throw the rest of the bag in my pipe, a few puffs at a time, and smoke it all up.
Scott Ritter; Ukraine, Finland, & Nato (talk) A Warning to the People of Finland (part 2 of the KGRaS transcript for your reading pleasure
{37:00…from part 1} …Finland doesn’t have to support Russia’s Special Military Operation (SMO) and indeed, Finland can speak out against it, as they should.
Because if you’re, ... if you’re part of the civilized world, you have to say that war is not the solution, that’s just sort of a given. I mean war only accomplishes one thing and that’s the destruction of humanity.
Because if you’re part of the civilized world, you have to say that war is not the solution, that’s just sort of a given. I mean
…War only accomplishes one thing and that’s the destruction of humanity.
Umm, so Finland can be critical of the Russian actions in UKraine, so can Sweden, but to sit there and ally, … align themselves with Nato and say that we support what the West is doing in Ukraine, so much so that we want to become a part of it, that’s just foolish, its suicidal, and it makes no sense. {37:33}
If Finland Joins Nato {37:37}
You know, there’s this ummm, there’s this notion going around about the what ‘s called the Open Door policy of Nato. There is no Open Door policy. Read the Nato charter very carefully. It doesn’t have an Open Door policy. Just because you qualify for membership doesn’t mean you get to be a member. Article 10 of the Charter discusses this. It says “If a nation Qualifies and it does submit an application, then Nato must Consider this application from the standpoint of, Does it Enhance the Security of the Organization?”
Pro hint: Allowing Finland in knowing Russia will attack Finland Does NOT enhance Nato-European security.
Now people say, We can’t allow ourselves to be bullied by Russia. Russia’s not bullying anybody. Russia says if Finland remains neutral, there’s just literally No Problem here.
But the only thing that can stop Finish membership besides Finland withdrawing its application , or not submitting an application is : Europe is a, …Nato is a consensus organization. And so , hopefully there will be at least one of the 30 members, who will say,
Nah, we ain’t doin’ that, we allready got one war here on European soil, {39:02}
why do we want another? And what does Finland give us? It gives us a nightmare. A lengthy border with Russia, it pretty much guarantees that we’re gonna go back into at a minimum the cold war.
Because Finland has to understand that even if Russia doesn’t invade , you’re gonna have to militarize your whole border. You’re gonna have to turn it into a fortified zone.
Ah, and you can’t do that alone, so you’re gonna have to invite Nato nations, {so} you’re gonna have to allow foreign troops on your soil.
Is this really the future that Finland wants?
i mean, its its its its absurd. But more importantly, is it the future that Europe wants? Can Europe afford this?
Finland’s doing this. {39:47} i mean, this is, this is sort of like, you know,
Finland pulling up to the Titanic after it hit the iceberg, and saying
Hay, Got any room for extra passengers?
Come on board, but we’re sinking…
ummm, you know
Nato’s going down.
It’s part of a Europe that can’t function cohesively any more. People speak of Nato unity . There is no Nato unity. Poland and Hungary are almost at war with one another. Turkey doesn’t want to be a part of Nato anymore., Turkey blames Nato for the conflict in Ukraine.
When we get into energy policies , Slovakia and Hungary have said We’re not going to participate in European sanctioning of Russian energy.
Germany will die as an economy if they do this.
So, is this really what Finland wants to join? Cause it’s not working, man. Europe’s not working.
And any smart European country will say, “The only chance we have of pulling out of this thing is to create less friction with Russia, instead of more friction.”
So i’m hopeful that at least one nation, hopefully more, will speak up and say, “ No, sorry Finland, Europe’s better off with you being neutral.”
{41:05}
I mean Finland has to think about what it’s doing. Does anybody have a thinking cap in Finland? I mean, this is the question, i don’t ask this facetiously.
You know they have a great fighter in the FA-18 . If they want to get a better fighter they could go out and get it. But why the F35 - A? Why the F35?
a. it sucks as a fighter please Finland please do your research.
It breaks all the time. It doesn’t work. Its been oversold. Thank you for supporting the American military industrial complex, we enjoy the billions of dollars you’ll be sending us, but we’re giving you a piece of garbage airplane you’ll be lucky to get 60 % operational rates at peacetime and in combat it breaks instantly plus people will shoot it down because its not as stealthy as everybody thinks it is.
But what’s more important about that aircraft is that it is nuclear capable.
That means
that its designed to be able to deliver nuclear weapons.
{42:01}
And Nato just did a posture review, where it talks about
taking US B-61 NUCLEAR bombs which are currently stationed in Europe, and making them available to Non-Nuclear nations, and they’re expanding this now to any nation that has the F-35A. Poland for instance will now become a nation that is capable of delivering American made B-61 NUCLEAR bombs. Wow.
And Finland, when you bring in your F-35A , trust me, the first thing that Nato’s gonna say , is , “ You need to start cross-training your pilots to deliver nuclear weapons.”
Is this really the direction Finland wants to go?
Cause you have to understand Finland when you join Nato , you give up a whole bunch of sovereignty.
Because now you’re part of an Alliance that’s going to start dictating things to you. Saying You have to do this, if you want our support, you have to do this.
Right now Russia has declared the Baltics to be a nuclear-free zone.
They’ve respected this.
If Finland joins Nato and survives, because look, its not a guarantee Russia’s gonna go to war against Finland. Russia ‘s got a lot of problems of its own right now, economic sanctions are hurting its economy, it bit off a lot in Ukraine, its gotta digest that first before it swallows Finland.
So maybe they’ll just seek to militarize for the moment. But part of that militarization will be the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons throughout the area and EVERY FINISH CITY will now be targeted with a nuclear weapon or two or three or four or a dozen.
Okay, so Finland , you DO now know that if there Is a war with Russia that begins for instance in Moldova, are the Fins ready to die for Transnistria? and i, this is just a question i’d want to ask the average fellow.
I’d love to walk in Hellsinki, …
“You Ready to Die for Transnistria? Because you’re going to .”
You’re gonna die because when that goes to war and the Romanians attack and then the Russians counterattack. …
The Americans send in a brigade … it gets anihilated so the Americans use a tactical nuke.
Boom , boom , boom , boom , boom. Its all over.
Hellsinki disappears in a cloud of radioactive dust,
that quick.
200,000 degrees suntan. I know you guys like your sun, but you’re gonna get a big tan. You’re gonna burn to death. You’re gonna fry.
{44:21}
Because the Russian are gonna Nuke you. Automatically, automatically.
It doesn’t matter anymore that you’re Finland and you have nothing to do with Moldova, you’re part of Nato, therefore you’re now part of the target package, and when the Russians start pushing the buttons, the target package is all-inclusive.
It doesn’t prejudice against anybody. So every Fin will die. {44:44}
Every Fin will die. That’s your future. There’s no other future. It doesn’t get better than this, it only gets worse. Joining Nato is a suicide pill.
There’s short term, with a mercifully bloody Russian invasion , but Hellsinki still survives, Fins still live, or long term, with thermonuclear holocaust that kills everybody. That’s Finland’s future, literally. That’s your future. There is no other outcome. Nato is not going to prevail. Nato is collapsing, and the best that Finland can hope for is to remain neutral, stay above the fray, survive.
{45:33} Closing thoughts
I just would ask the people who see this to sit back and reflect on the life they have now, and look around, and see how wonderfully simple it is, comparatively, how little they spend on defense, because there’s no need to spend a great deal of money on defense; how, the luxury of life. The luxury of life.
Because that will all come to an end the moment you join Nato.
Whatever you think Nato’s going to bring, it isn’t going to bring.
The life you enjoy today is not going to get better, its going to get much worse.
Your money, you’re gonna be spending money on defense that doesn’t need to be spent. You’re gonna be asked to do things from a defense standpoint that you never would have considered before. And people need to really sit back and say, “if i enjoy the standard of living that i have now, and i want this standard of living for my children and my grandchildren, then joining Nato’s not the path.” You’re just guaranteeing that your grandchildren , if they’re alive at all, will live in a regime of fear. Because the cold war, i’m just here to remind you, i lived in West Germany during the cold war, it was an atmosphere of prevalent fear.
Every day we had to worry about Soviet troops coming over the border. I lived next door to a nuclear storage facility, Northpoint. Which would have been one of the first places struck. So.
when you went to bed at night, you didn’t know, were some generals gonna make a decision that resulted in some tactical nuclear weapon hitting Northpoint so i would never wake up in the morning?
When i got on the school bus and went to school was i gonna be able to come home to a place? Or was some Soviet missile going to hit it?
This was a daily existence, and if that’s the future you want, worrying about whether or not you’re gonna live to see tomorrow/ the morning? Join Nato, be my guest. But if not,
You guys are ostensible democracies. Act like it. Hold your elected representatives accountable. If they don’t want to hold a referendum, hold one for them, called a recall vote.
Get them out of office. Put people in who respect democracy .
Put people in who will listen to you.
The Finish people may come out and say, hey , Ritter, thanks, but we still want to join Nato. That’s okay, that’s your decision, you’re a democracy, do what you want to do.
But don’t allow your government to make a decision for you, of this magnitude, without you having the ability to weigh in. That’s the important thing, you’re giving up everything when you do that.
