- arthurcolle 5y agowho is Scott Ritter?
- uberman 5y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Ritter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Ritter I assume he was banned as part of a wider ban on RT and frequent contributors. I suspect the final straw was an op-ed he published demanding that Kiev provide forensic proof that war crimes were committed in Bucha and that Russian soldiers were responsible.
