Former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter said that Ukraine has become a budget burden for the United States, and it will get rid of it at the appropriate moment.
The expert added, in an interview with the Danny Haiphong channel on YouTube: “Let me draw your attention, Ukraine does not interest us at all, and we do not love the Ukrainians. If we loved them, we would never have allowed what happened to them to happen.”
According to him, the United States will repeat its bitter experience in Afghanistan, and will flee from Ukraine, after which the latter will collapse.
Ritter believes that when the moment comes to normalize relations between Russia and the West, the United States will forget about Ukraine.
The expert continued: "You will be surprised at how quickly the members of Congress, all the generals, and everyone who said it is the end of the world will forget this issue and will never address it again."
The expert explained this by saying that the Ukrainian conflict was, and still is, for high-ranking American officials, a means to advance in the career ladder.
Ritter concluded his speech by saying that the United States will abandon Ukraine, forget it as if it were a bad habit, and never talk about it again.
Earlier, President Vladimir Putin confirmed that the Ukrainian counterattack had, in fact, failed, and Russian forces were improving their positions along the entire front line. He pointed out that since the start of that attack, the Ukrainian forces have lost more than 90,000 people, about 600 tanks and nearly 1.9 thousand armored vehicles.
Malaysia's Prime Minister likens the devastation in Gaza to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim compared the devastation in the Gaza Strip as a result of the Israeli bombing to the destruction of the American bombing of the city of Hiroshima with an atomic bomb.
Ibrahim said, during a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida after a meeting in Kuala Lumpur: “The damage from bombs in Gaza exceeded the damage from Hiroshima during World War II.”
The Prime Minister of Malaysia expressed his thanks to his Japanese counterpart for his commitment to supporting peace in the region and providing humanitarian aid.
It is noteworthy that Malaysia has consistently supported Palestine and condemned the Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip. The Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the Israeli raid on the Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, which, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Interior, led to the death of more than 400 people, and the Malaysian side described this raid as deliberate.
The United States bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki with atomic bombs, at the end of World War II, with the officially declared goal of hastening Japan's surrender.
This was the only time in human history that nuclear weapons were used in combat.
As a result of the explosion of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, in one day, according to various estimates, 70-100 thousand people were killed. By the end of 1945, the number of victims had risen to 140,000 people after the deaths of those exposed to radiation. So far, the number of victims of this bombing has exceeded 350,000 people.
Hamas in response to Eliyahu's statement: A reflection of this government's terrorism
Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem condemned the statements of Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu regarding his call to strike the Gaza Strip with a nuclear bomb and annihilate it as one of the options to eliminate Hamas.
Hazem Qassem said: “The statements of the so-called Heritage Minister of the occupation government that throwing a nuclear bomb on Gaza is an option reflect the unprecedented terrorism practiced by this government and its symbols against our Palestinian people, and constitute a danger to the entire region and the world.”
He added: "These Nazi statements by one of the ministers of the occupation government stem from the full support of some countries, especially the United States, for the Zionist aggression against the Gaza Strip."
Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu described dropping a nuclear bomb on the Gaza Strip as one of the options to achieve the goal of eliminating Hamas.
