Oct 9, 2026 · 36m

Summary

Judge Napolitano and Scott Ritter analyze the arrest of a former German spy chief, arguing it signals a massive intelligence breach for Western allies. They critique the US failure to achieve military objectives in Iran and debunk claims of control over the Strait of Hormuz, while questioning the feasibility of a new Russian diesel deal. Ritter also debunks Western fantasies of attacking Kaliningrad based on his recent visit, asserting that Russia is systematically destroying Ukraine’s infrastructure and that the conflict is a corrupt grift benefiting European elites.
