  1. He was a 'failed' weapons inspector because he was 'dumb enough' to repeatedly point to the fact that there weren't any WMD in Iraq. A fact that the US government duly ignored because it planned to go war with Iraq regardless. He was inconvenient to say the least. The parallels with the western-led proxy war in Ukraine are marked. In terms of his sex abuse conviction it was a planned FBI sting against Ritter - why might you ask - for an internet only exchange on an over 18s only chat site. The 15 year old girl never existed and should have been over 18 anyway to be on there in the first place under the rules of that site ie there's no reason to believe that it wasn't anything other than fantasy role play in his mind. Was he stupid? Hell yeah. Does it have anything to do with judgements he's made on Iraq and Ukraine? Absolutely naff all.

  2. For saying the war in Ukraine should never have happened in the first place, that it's been stoked by US neocons and that it's resulted in the senseless loss of life of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and Russians? If that makes him a Putin lover then that makes me one too I guess. Don't get me wrong, Putin is an oftentimes highly unpleasant authoritarian leader, but compared to the neocons in the US responsible for initiating all this the man's a relative saint.

  7.  @CraigPauls  It was an FBI agent in a sting operation directed against Ritter pretending to be a 15 year old girl on an over 18 only chat site. Why target ex-weapons inspector Ritter and what would a 15 year old being doing on an over 18s only chatsite are both worthy of answers.
