He's been more correct about his predictions on this war than any of the MSM. Hell, the only people getting more predictions correct on this war than Ritter are Alexander Mercouris and Col Douglas McGregor.

The MSM spent the first 18 months of the war pretending Ukraine was winning. Some MSM outlets still predict Ukraine will take back all their territory including Crimea.

When it comes to news sources, I trust who gets things right and who acknowledges when they get something wrong. I couldn't care less who they associate with as long as the information is correct.

Does him visiting a foreign country make his correct predictions less valid?

None of that’s true. You clearly failed at reading comprehension

Ritter is very reliable with his day to day coverage. I do suspect his overall predictions are a tad optimistic and hes telling the left what we want to hear because we knows we are so starved of good news. He thought Hamas had a chance to beat the IDF for example and his final prediction for Ukraine is Russia reaching the Dneiper. He also thinks Ukraine is finished as a nation state which is unlikely to be accurate.

Lmao. I don’t follow his daily coverage. He’s crazy wrong in his “predictions” and I suspect he really just says crazy shit because he knows rubes like @giusti825 eat it up. I mean you have to be a fucking idiot if you believed the IDF was going to lose to Hamas.

Saudi Arabia been having private talks with Ukraine without Russian involvement and it could be a problem for both Putin and the west. Zelinsky gone apparently to keep the details of the meeting away from other parties as the US and Europe as well as Russia are kept out of it. Saudi even sent their highest level personal to Kyiv to be a part of these talks. It seems the speed of how this event was setup is pretty impressive. Not sure what it was about financing deal for access or what it could be? Saudi have over 2 trillion dollars available to them so who knows and they seem to have grown apart with Russia.

EDIT: Representatives from countries not including Russia met in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Dec. 16, 2023, to discuss Ukraine's vision for peacefully ending its war with Russia, Bloomberg reported on Jan. 9. ...

Talks apparently are continuing without a word coming to the public.

"
The Ukrainian Blackjack hacker group, had allegedly carried out a cyber attack against the Moscow Internet provider M9 Telecom, Ukrinform reported on Jan. 9, citing an undisclosed source in law enforcement.

Ukrinform's source linked the group to Ukraine's Security Service, or SBU. The SBU has not officially reported on the attack. The service's spokesperson has not replied to the Kyiv Independent's request for comment.

The report comes almost a month after a massive Russian-linked cyberattack against the Ukrainian phone operator Kyivstar, which caused massive internet and network outages across the country.

The alleged Ukrainian attack against M9 Telecom destroyed the provider's servers, deleting about 20 terabytes of data, which included the company's official website, branch websites, mail server, and cyber protection services, according to the source. As a result of the attack, some Moscow residents were left without access to the internet and television, Ukrinform, a Ukrainian state-run media outlet, wrote.

At the time of publication, the official website of M9 Telecom was operational."

Turns out I was right again. Ukraine actually has slightly higher casualties than Russia but some of you insisted on some magical 1:3 or even 1:5 ratio. Disadvantages in armor, artillery, drones and electronic warfare meant Ukraine had to expose their infantry in harm's way more than their Russian counterpart.

The Ukrainian government has not released official figures for the total number of soldiers who have been killed or wounded since Russia launched its full-scale invasion nearly two years ago. However, anecdotal evidence of mounting Ukrainian casualties in the war was reinforced by claims made on Ukrainian television this weekend by the country's former prosecutor general. Yuriy Lutsenko claimed that around 30,000 Ukrainian troops are now being killed or badly wounded per month and that the total casualty toll for wounded and killed in the war is around 500,000.

Hospital sees 30% rise in seriously wounded Ukrainian soldiers, says doctor

Dr. Sergii Ryzhenko told ABC News that the Mechnikov Hospital in the city of Dnipro is now receiving between 40 and 100 seriously wounded men each day.

WASHINGTON, Dec 12 (Reuters) - A declassified U.S. intelligence report assessed that the Ukraine war has cost Russia 315,000 dead and injured troops, or nearly 90% of the personnel it had when the conflict began, a source familiar with the intelligence said on Tuesday. The report also assessed that Moscow's losses in personnel and armored vehicles to Ukraine's military have set back Russia’s military modernization by 18 years, the source said.

I'll take a Rudy Guliani and Trump associate's word with a grain of salt, if i take it at all. More like you found a guy that likes to lie and his lies seem to agree with your prediction. Not sure that's a great way to support your opinion.

This poster here is playing card like: I'm so concerned about Ukr casualities ( better for them will be to surround and Ukraine incorporated im Russia because I'm so concerned about ukrainians ).
BTW if Hitler's textbook with POVs didn't had been repeated by russia, putler had better success.
To die in trench anyway is more comfortable than slow death in torture chamber....

Is that why Ukraine needs to draft half a million men to replenish the ranks after reaching 1 million in strength in July 2022? You're always welcomed to keep believing in myths. Reality will set in sooner or later.
