Interview for Garland Nixon
The Russia House with Scott Ritter | Substack
On June 22, 2025, I was invited by the Standing Committee of the Union State to make a presentation at a round table, “Defending the Fatherland”, dedicated to the 84th anniversary of the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War and the 80th anniversary of the Victory of the Soviet people over Nazi Germany.

WHAT NEXT AFTER THE US STRIKE ON IRAN’S NUCLEAR INFRASTRUCTURE?
Iran and Israel have entered a fragile ceasefire, ending 12 days of conflict triggered by a surprise Israeli attack targeting Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile infrastructure, as well as high-level leadership figures. The ceasefire was announced in the immediate aftermath of a tit-for-tat exchange of attacks between the US and Iran, actions that represented the tail end of Israel and Iran’s own direct strikes. A formal state of war was never declared by either Iran, Israel or the US. But the conflict saw Israel and the US cross long-established red lines regarding attacks on Iranian nuclear infrastructure that risked propelling the entire Middle East into a zone of conflict, with the potential to escalate into a crisis of global proportions. However, the push to the brink and the resulting ceasefire may yet provide an opportunity for a grand bargain between the warring parties, which could bring about the elusive peace the region has long sought.

DEBATE: EX-OFFICER SCOTT RITTER VS. IDF'S JONATHAN CONRICUS

The Russia House with Scott Ritter | Substack
Once upon a time there was a Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) Officer.
In a long ago war, this BDA Officer was ordered to assess damage done against Iraqi SCUD missiles.
When the General wanted to tell the President that his fancy new F-15E Strike Eagles had destroyed all of Iraq’s fixed SCUD launchers, the BDA Officer had to inform him that the evidence showed none had been destroyed.
This made the General angry.
Later the General went on national television to report that his fancy F-15E aircraft had destroyed seven mobile SCUD launchers.
But the BDA Officer had to tell the General that these were only civilian fuel trucks.
The General was so angry he fired the BDA Officer.
But back in Washington DC the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff reviewed the BDA Officer’s report, and has his specialists examine the evidence.
The specialists reported that the BDA Officer was right.
The General had to give the BDA Officer his job back.
The General was then told that his super duper ultra secret commando force had destroyed a SCUD launchers.
But the BDA Officer, after examining the evidence, concluded that the super duper ultra secret commandos had only killed a decoy launcher.
The General got so mad he had the BDA Officer arrested.
The BDA Officer was released only when the evidence, upon review, confirmed his assessment.
The moral of the story?
Believe the professionals.
Leave BDA to the professionals.
Don’t believe the Generals.
Or Defense Secretary.
Or White House Press Secretary.
Or the President.
Because they aren’t professional BDA Officers.
They are politicians.
And politicians lie.

IT’S PURELY AN ACT OF POLITICAL THEATER
Interview for Sputnik
The Russia House with Scott Ritter | Substack
MAGA is officially dead as a movement.
When a President wears a MAGA hat while conspiring to take America to war after promising that, as the leader of MAGA, he would pursue peace, MAGA stands for nothing.
If you’re MAGA, then you must disassociate yourself from this President and everyone who stands with him.
They are not MAGA.
They are Israel first.
And that’s the most dangerous ideology facing America today.
RIP, MAGA.
We hardly knew Ye.
The Russia House with Scott Ritter | Substack
An act of theater.
Trump’s big mouth had boxed him into a corner.
Iran wouldn’t play his game.
So he had to bomb Iran to save face.
He bombed two empty facilities that had been previously struck by Israel.
And he bounced six bombs off an indestructible facility (Firdos), claiming destruction despite the opposite being the case.
That’s it.
A “contained” strike.
A nothing burger.
And this is the man whose supporters call the greatest leader in the world.
He’s a national disgrace.

PROJECT 38
On January 13, 2018, President Trump's failed non-proliferation policies resulted in 38 minutes of terror for the citizens of Hawaii. Project 38 seeks to reclaim these moments for all Americans.
TRUMP STOLE THE SHOW AT NATO'S OTHERWISE FLOP OF A SUMMIT
The NATO summit at The Hague has come and gone, with little to show for it except a couple media soundbites and a push for more spending.
This was a farcical summit. It was an exercise in narcissism management.
The US-Russia Citizen’s Summit held on June 18 was the first step in a longer journey the goal of which is the normalization of relations between Russia and the United States facilitated through civil discourse and dialogue. This week in The Russia House, Pavel Balobanov, the Russian host of the June 18 event, joins me to discuss how we plan on moving forward.
This interview is available to the public on my Substack, which also includes photo albums from the June 18th event.
Next week we will be publishing a new interview on The Russia House which will address the religious aspects of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. This interview and all others going forward will be available for paid subscribers only.

RITTER'S RANT EP. 14: ROGUE NATION
Israel is not just a nation that holds itself above the law--it is an outlaw nation, operating to its own set of rules, even when they clearly clash with international law, norms, and values.

Ritter’s Rant on Substack CLICK HERE
The Russia House with Scott Ritter | Substack
My main takeaway from the X debate hosted by Mario Nawfal between myself and former IDF spokesperson Jonathan Conricus is that Israel is a rogue nation that operates in accordance to its own rules and priorities, in total contravention of international law.
Terms like international law are meaningless to Israel, as are institutions like the United Nations and foundational international agreements like the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
Israel makes no apology for its stance.
In short, the State of Israel, by the words of its former spokesperson, operates completely and totally outside the framework of global civil society.
It is an outlaw nation.
It is by its very existence a threat to international peace and security.
And should be treated as such.
The Russia House with Scott Ritter | Substack
It was classified “Top Secret” because of sources and methods.
The source is high resolution satellite imagery, most likely including radar.
The methods involve photographic interpretation procedures taught at professional schools and honed over time through real-world experience.
This certainly isn’t a skill set a 27-year old communications director would have any familiarity with.
