Analysis on all things geopolitical. I will never initiate contact for the purpose of solicitation.
It’s a tribal gathering.
If you took the time to truly “know your enemy”, you’d realize you just murdered a bunch of innocent civilians.
Instead you rely on ignorant drone operators who are under pressure to produce results because the truth is your air campaign hasn’t done anything to stop Houthi missile strikes against shipping or Israel.
Kids who don’t understand the culture of the people you have ordered them to kill.
Congratulations.
You’re no better than Obama.
And that’s a low bar.

Six and a half years ago I wrote a book which chronicled Trump’s precipitous decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) The insights contained in this book are as relevant today as they were when I first wrote them.
Before the JCPOA there was… chaos and lies.
I chronicled it all in Target Iran. Think of it as the prequel to Dealbreaker.

Q&A | The Russia House with Scott Ritter | Substack
With all due respect, Iran knew the deal was temporary when it entered force back in 2015.
Obama didn’t have the support of the Senate for a treaty, so the deal was codified as an executive agreement.
Senate Republicans literally wrote a letter to the Supreme Leader warning that “we will consider any agreement regarding your nuclear weapons program that is not approved by the Congress as nothing more than an executive agreement between President Obama and Ayatollah Khomenei.”
The Iranian government knew that this agreement would not last.
Trump simply did what everyone knew he would do—withdraw from what he and the Senate Republicans viewed as a bad deal.
If Iran wanted a binding agreement, it would have made the compromises necessary to turn the JCPOA into a treaty.
This is the lesson of the JCPOA and negotiations—any future agreement between Iran and the US must be codified as a treaty, not an executive agreement.

TRUMP’S CANADIAN FIXATION
US President Donald Trump has reiterated his call for Canada to become the 51st state of the US. While some, including the Trump administration’s nominee as ambassador to Canada, former Michigan Congressman Pete Hoekstra, contend that Trump is joking, an anonymous White House official has insisted that the 51st-state concept is a serious proposal reflective of a fundamental policy shift premised on concepts of “fortress America” that place homeland defense ahead of trans-Atlantic security — effectively moving away from the traditional rules-based international order toward a neo-isolationist strategy.
From the perspective of most Canadians — officials and citizens alike — Trump’s fixation on annexation is insulting and, if allowed to proceed unchecked, would represent a serious threat to Canadian national security. Whether through military force (unlikely, although Trump has not ruled it out) or simply weakening the Canadian economy to the point that annexation might become a more viable option than independence, Trump has put US-Canadian relations in a crisis mode unparalleled since the 19th century.

And there are those who still argue Iran shouldn’t negotiate to reduce its nuclear profile.

THE ENEMY WITHIN
As America moves to bring an end to a conflict in Ukraine we helped precipitate, it needs to guard against opponents of this new policy trajectory who will seek to disrupt its new role as peacemaker and/or extract vengeance on the United States for betraying their cause.
Perhaps the greatest threat to the United States in this regard is the enemy within—the Ukrainian-American diaspora whose loyalty to the odious ideology of Stepan Bandera transcends everything—including the land which they currently call home.

IRAN’S FINAL WARNING: DO THIS ONE THING OR FACE ANNIHILATION
Interview for Kim Iversen
Q&A | The Russia House with Scott Ritter | Substack
In this episode of The Russia House with Scott Ritter we are pleased to welcome Sergey Veselovsky - an active participant in the Crimean resistance since 1991. From 1990 to 1998 he was a deputy of the Simferopol City Council, and until 1994 he served as an officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In 2008, Sergey, together with Sergey Aksyonov, founded the party "Russian Unity".
"I lived in Crimea for 23 years, since birth, during the Soviet Union. I lived exactly the same amount of time, 23 years, as part of independent Ukraine on the same Crimean peninsula. And now, for the 12th year, I live in Russia again, because the Soviet Union was, by and large, Soviet Russia.
They tried to Ukrainize us, we actively resisted this within the law. We never broke the law of the country in which we lived, be it the Soviet Union or Ukraine, that is, we, Russian Crimeans, fought for our rights within the constitution of the country in which we lived.
We, Russians, were called Muscovites, subhumans, second-class people who can be offended, humiliated, insulted, and then, over time, killed."
THE BIRTH OF A NATION
When recounting politically sensitive events, the truth can get lost in the narrative.
The issue of Crimean statehood looms large in the narrative surrounding the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In the West, especially in the United States, a strong bias exists in favor of the Ukrainian narrative, which holds that Russia, in 2014, forcefully occupied and unlawfully asserted its political control over a Crimean Peninsula which had been part of the Ukraine since 1954, when then-Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev transferred control of the territory to Kiev.

Q&A | The Russia House with Scott Ritter | Substack
I’m always struck by the ignorance of the digital mob.
Especially those who claim to have “supported me all these years” and suddenly take umbrage over my assiduous insistence on adherence to international law by all parties.
If you truly knew me you’d know I cut my teeth on treaty compliance verification implementing the INF treaty.
Where I was deeply involved in a crisis that hinged on treaty interpretation that ultimately showed the Soviets were correct.
Yes, that meant that I and others argued against the official US position because the treaty which we were bound to argued the opposite.
You’d know that while I articulated sympathies with the Iraqi stance against Kuwait, I waged war against Iraq because the United Nations passed a Chapter VII resolution authorizing the use of military force because Iraq invaded and occupied Kuwait.
You’d know that while I agreed with the Iraqi complaint that even if they complied with UN demands to disarm (another Chapter VII resolution) sanctions would not be lifted, I was unyielding in implementing the disarmament mandate to the full extent required by international law.
You’d know that my stance against the war against Iraq was grounded in the fact that Iraq had complied with its disarmament obligations, and the US case was premised on a lie.
But that if Iraq was, in fact, non-compliant, then I believed military action would have been justified.
If you truly knew me, you’d know that my position has always been strict adherence to treaty obligations.
And that my interpretation of Iran’s compliance status is consistent under the NPT.
But you don’t know me.
You only pretend to.
And you know nothing of international law.
You are the digital mob. Charlatans all.
I’ve never said military action by the US is justified.
So don’t put words in my mouth.
In order for any military action against Iran to be justified you would either need Iran to attack another nation, triggering Article 51 of the UN Charter, or the UN Security Council would need pass a resolution under Chapter VII authorizing military force to resolve a clearly articulated threat.
An argument under preemptive self defense likewise fails because there is no imminent threat; even the emergence of a dedicated nuclear weapons program in Iran would not justify unilateral military action since there would be an opportunity to resolve the emerging threat through the United Nations.
So there are no existing circumstances that would justify and/or legitimize military action against Iran by the United States.
But that’s not the point.
Trump is on track to attack Iran.
This is reality. A reality I don’t support. A reality I condemn.
And a reality I am trying to avert.
Trump has articulated his case against Iran as being centered on Iran’s potential to produce nuclear weapons.
So my focus has been on how best to craft a pathway to peace.
One premised on Iran’s adherence to the letter and intent of the NPT.
You can disagree with my approach.
But don’t ever say that I am justifying a military strike by the US against Iran.

Q&A | The Russia House with Scott Ritter | Substack
When I met with President Raisi in September 2023, he was very eloquent about the severity of the threat posed to the Islamic Republic of Iran by the domestic unrest perpetrated by foreign intelligence services that sought to use Iran’s diversity of ethnicities and cultures as a weapon. Raisi called the summer of 2023 the most dangerous period for Iran since the Iran-Iraq War.
The Islamic Republic was able to survive because the government was able to rally support from the Iranian people.
What happens if central authority is eliminated/reduced by a US attack?
What happens if the hostile intelligence services again seek to exploit Iran’s diversity?
Can you guarantee Iran will prevail?
Everyone thought Assad was secure following the Russian/Iranian intervention.
However, sanctions had weakened Syria to the point that it collapsed like a house of cards.
I’m not saying this is Iran’s future.
I’m saying many in the West believe Iran will fold like Syria did.
