In this 19 May 2026 published video, host Prof. Glenn Diesen: talks with Scott Ritter, a former Major, Intelligence Officer, US Marine, and UN Weapons Inspector. Ritter discusses how Europe has now crossed the line and made a Russian retaliation inevitable. There are intense discussions surrounding a potential escalation between Russia and Europe, characterized by claims from commentators that Western actions constitute an attack requiring a Russian response. Analyst Ritter argues that Europe has “crossed the line” and made Russian retaliation “unavoidable,” citing ihat Western support for strikes into Russian territory violates security red lines. Russia has reiterated in a UNSC briefing described in by Prof. Diesen, that European “leaders” are engaging in extreme Russophobia and preparing for war. Moscow has previously indicated that if conventional military capabilities from nuclear powers threaten Russian strategic infrastructure, it may be treated as a nuclear attack. Concerns about direct conflict are high, with Facebook posts noting military officials in Germany and the UK are urging citizens to prepare for a possible Russian attack. In a POLITICO article, it is noted that Europe is weighing how to respond to incidents like drone activity and GPS jamming in Eastern Europe. There are discussions about strengthening rules to shoot down drones and increasing troop presence to protect critical infrastructure. Various Internet sources have mentioned that a new Russian bill allows for broader military operations outside Russia, raising fears of intensified conflict. The situation remains fluid with high tension, where actions deemed defensive by one side are viewed as direct attacks by the other.
