Right! You Jumped Up Little Pip Squeak. Have some humility.

Yes, you all would be right.  I lost it big time.

This is why I am not a fan of Scott Ritter.  He describes how the US took his passport and what he is going to do about it.

But then he goes on to say that if Russia does not care any longer about America, he, Scott will no longer care about Russia.  It is a two-way street he says.  There are Americans who do want to do the right thing, he says.  But now he wants immediate gratification and somebody must now pat him on the head and tell him he is good.   He says if these Americans are shut out, they can’t help the Russians.  That is so squirly!  Who tells you they need your help?  Who tells you they want your help.  Where is your humility?  It is your country that took your passport, not the Russians.  The idea that comes to my mind is premature ejaculation. I have been an expat most of my life and the ones that came across my path, just wanting to ‘help’ everybody else from a false sense of know-it-all-ites, I cannot even count. There is a reason why the book, The Ugly American was written.

Yet, the plot thickens. I have been saying since the outset that there is more here than what we know. Apparently, the person that Scott dealt with in Russia, was arrested, and it is clear that he questions this. Oh man .. help me, I’m going to say this. This is why Americans like Scott suck. Not two minutes in and he is developing a personal grudge and leaving his own beliefs on the table! Go away Scott. Take your disappointment and sadness and suck it up Big Boy because perhaps you don’t know what you are talking about. And stop talking about others like this and I will stop talking to you like this.

The only reason I put my neck out again (and I did this once before when you started crowing that NATO will send a million troops into Europe – this is around the time when the SMO started – that was in the days of The Saker site when it was still alive) is that we had a conversation here in terms of how people like myself can position ourselves vis a vis good Americans, whereas we are bitterly angry and literally do not want to see yer faces and would happily smash you with a tree! Part of the daily task is to NOT HATE and to remain realistic and pragmatic. And daily we look at what the Israelis are up to with US covert (and sometimes overt) support and it is hard to NOT HATE! And don’t tell me it is not Joe and JoLene down the street, of course to a large extent it is. Not everybody of course, it never is everybody.

I was in a position of not liking to criticise you, and to accept your bona fides. Well, I think what I thought, came back and bit me. You are a very clever person. Don’t blame the next guy and talk for a Russian guy where you don’t know what the deal is! Tell the story all you like but be careful how you advocate. Don’t leave a sense in the air that the Russians were part of your problem. No, they will not accept you under those circumstances. Right at the moment a few might be looking at you askanse for what you already said. This is not rocket science.

I guess I am in trouble again. We had a comment on the site, initially I said it, but it must have grown some and somebody else said that it is hard to think in two worlds. Yes, we have to think in two worlds now. You will remain an American if you cannot adjust and think in two worlds. Be a human first, and not an American! If you are a human, I can treat you fairly. If you want to be American first, leave the Russians alone. They can live without you.

Are we living in fear now? asks the interviewer around the 20 minute mark. Yes, but take a look at Edward Snowden living in peace and not in fear and I’m still waiting for his deep appreciation that Russia saved his bacon.  I’ve not heard that.  And then Scott lectures to be careful about perceptions. If the two countries drift further and further apart he says, we’re talking about the potential for Armageddon.

Have you ever thought Scott, to fix things on your side in your country? You don’t need to fix them on the Russian side because they are the adults in the room at this time. Let your work stand for you, not how much you physically stroked a Russian.  You wanted a movie to bring back to the US to show the people there what Russia is all about.  You can just tell them.  There are hundreds of movies that you can use parts of.

You say ‘we’, meaning the US, are an important part of what a solution could be. Really? Do you not think that it is much wiser to let others do what they have to do at this stage, and build multipolarity? We’ve seen the level of solutions deep into the DNA and cellular knowledge of humanity that most Americans come up with. I’ve seen it in too many countries. Do you not think it is time to reflect and understand what is essentially your deepest process?   I have met the enemy … and …
