Scott Ritter says Russia will crush Europe... - Break the Fake - TVP WORLD [View all]



Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter has resurfaced in Moscow's propaganda machine. In a recent interview with Russia's state news agency TASS, he claimed that if Europe dares to intervene directly in the war, Russa will "crush" it. But who is Scott Ritter really? Far from being a credible military expert, Ritter is a disgraced ex-analyst with a criminal record, now playing a role of so-called "Western voice" for the Kremlin. Russian state media presents him as an authority to legitimize Putin's narrative - while ignoring his past scandals and the fact that his predictions often collapse under reality. In new episode of Break The Fake, Jonasz Rewiński breaks down Ritter's statements, expose his background and explains why Moscow loves to parade figures like him as "proof" that the West is divided.
