Nima chats with Scott Ritter
| Resize text-+= |
Scott analyses the real meaning of Israel's savage air attack on Lebanon, with Netanyahu promising more punishment through a ground invasion unless the Lebanese people abandon Hezbollah, which is simply impossible as Hezbollah is a legitimate party in Lebanon, represents the aspirations of most Arabs via a vis Israel, and is deeply integrated with Lebanese society. Furthermore, Israel lacks the capacity to push Hezbollah anywhere, above or below the Litani river, while Hezbollah has the ability to demolish any IDF ground invasion while striking deep into Israel.
Scott's New Book: https://www.claritypress.com/product/... Scott Ritter is a former Marine intelligence officer who served in the former Soviet Union, implementing arms control agreements, and on the staff of General Norman Schwartzkopf during the Gulf War, where he played a critical role in the hunt for Iraqi SCUD missiles. From 1991 until 1998, Mr. Ritter served as a Chief Inspector for the United Nations in Iraq, leading the search for Iraq’s proscribed weapons of mass destruction. Mr. Ritter was a vocal critic of the American decision to go to war with Iraq. His new book, Disarmament in the Time of Perestroika: Arms Control and the End of the Soviet Union, is his ninth.
Israeli air strikes in Lebanon are creating carnage, and the death toll is now soaring—including many children. One week ago Israel turned thousands of people in Lebanon into human bombs by inserting explosives into their communication devices. Brian and Ghadi discuss the devastation, why Israel and the US can’t win, and the secret Sykes-Picot treaty. Brian Becker is joined by Ghadi Francis, Lebanese writer, war correspondent, and host of TV show The West Asia Post.
