☢️ Scott Ritter Analysis: The "Highway to Hell"

Описание: 1. The "Sentinel" Scam & Defense Corruption Ritter argues the US has lost the physical ability to build new nuclear weapons due to corporate greed.

The Failure: He details how the Sentinel ICBM program (intended to replace the Minuteman) immediately spiked 81% over budget.

The Grift: He claims the defense industry purposely underbids to get the contract, then claims "new tech" is needed to jack up the price. The result? "We can't afford Sentinel because the defense industry is so damn corrupt".
The Contrast: While the US struggles to build a new factory, Russia's Votkinsk plant never stopped running. They smoothly transition from Topol to Yars to Cedar missiles because they don't have to "reinvent the wheel".
2. The "Nuclear Umbrella" Myth Ritter brutally dismantles the idea that the US protects Europe.

The Quote: He cites a Russian paper stating the US would not respond to a nuclear strike on a European city (like Poznan, Poland) because "no American president is going to sacrifice Boston for Poznan".
The Warning: He warns Europe that if they provoke Russia into a nuclear strike, "you're on your own... we're not going to die for you".

3. The "Wild West" of Proliferation With the New START treaty gone, Ritter predicts a terrifying free-for-all.

Secret Programs: He claims Germany and Sweden have the capability and secret desire to build nuclear weapons.

The Chain Reaction: Once the treaty framework vanishes, nations like Japan, South Korea, and Brazil will feel forced to build their own nukes. It becomes the "Wild West all over again... strapping on six-guns looking for people to shoot".
4. The "Death of Expertise" (No Muscles Left) Ritter laments that the US has lost the intellectual capability to negotiate peace.

Brain Drain: The old guard (like Paul Nitze) who understood the Cold War and respected the enemy are "dropping like flies".

The New Breed: They have been replaced by "ideologues" and "supremacists" (like Christopher Ford) who only view arms control as a tool for US dominance, not mutual safety.
