Retired US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter said this in an interview with the YouTube channel Judging Freedom. Ritter recalled that Washington always withdraws from countries involved in conflicts, as was the case with Afghanistan and Vietnam.
He expressed confidence that the United States did not have to pay for its shameful policy in Afghanistan. It will be the same with Ukraine: when we leave, and we will definitely leave, Ukrainians will be left with nothing on their own," he concluded. Earlier, Colonel Douglas MacGregor, a former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, expressed confidence the U.S. would fuel the Ukrainian conflict until Russian tanks were on the border with Poland.
