(End of the American Dream)—We are starting to learn more about Ryan Routh’s background, and what we have learned may help to explain why he attempted to shoot Donald Trump. It turns out that Routh is a rabid pro-Ukraine activist. In 2022, he actually traveled to Ukraine to fight in the war, but at that time he said that he was turned away because he had no military experience.
In an interview that was originally posted by Newsweek, he claimed that “Plan B” was to stay in Ukraine for a while and encourage other Americans that did have military experience to come and fight in the war. During that interview, he even claimed that he was getting foreigners placed in specific military units. So obviously Ryan Routh had extensive connections inside Ukraine. Did those connections play any sort of a role in the attempted shooting of Trump?
It has been pointed out that Ryan Routh’s only political donations were to Democrats, and on social media he was very vocal in denouncing Trump…
Routh, who has a lengthy criminal record from North Carolina, frequently posted about politics and exclusively donated to Democratic candidates and causes dating back to 2019.
He also bashed Trump in an April 22 post on X in which he declared, “DEMOCRACY is on the ballot and we cannot lose.”
He advised Biden, 81, in an April 22 X post when he was still running for reelection, to run a campaign around keeping “America democratic and free.”
He claimed Trump wants to “make Americans slaves against master.”
Many of his statements are very similar to things that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have publicly said.
So a lot of people are assuming that he is just another radical leftist.
But the truth is that Routh also strongly supported NeoCon Nikki Haley during her run for the Republican nomination.
Ultimately, it appears that Routh was inclined to get behind any candidate that strongly supports the war in Ukraine.
On his website, any American that was willing to go to Ukraine and fight was being offered $1,200 a month…
Ukraine loyalist and Trump sh**ter Ryan Routh ran a website attempting to RECRUIT AMERICANS to fight in Ukraine
His website offered **$1,200 PER MONTH** for any American willing to go to Ukraine, and worked in DC to send US troops over.
“Each one of us is responsible for the outcome of this war,” Routh stated on his site.
He was so passionate about the war in Ukraine that he wanted to go and fight himself…
He claimed on X that he tried to “sell” the idea of having former Afghanistan troopers fight for Ukraine in Russia, but was denied multiple times before giving up after six months.
He also said that he visited Kyiv and claimed that he would be willing to fight on the front lines, if he were permitted to.
Routh obviously is not all there, but that didn’t stop the mainstream media from repeatedly interviewing him.

In fact, as Zero Hedge has documented, Routh was quoted as a pro-Ukraine source by the New York Times, the Financial Times, Semafor and several other outlets.
For Routh, supporting the war in Ukraine was more important than anything else.
So the fact that Donald Trump has said that he intends to bring that war to an end was deeply, deeply upsetting to Routh.
In the end, Routh finally did pick up a rifle for his cause, and now he will probably spend the rest of his life in prison.
Sadly, most Americans are not paying much attention to what is going on in Ukraine, and that is extremely unfortunate.
As I pointed out on Friday, the Russians are warning that we are literally one step away from the unthinkable.
Last week, Vladimir Putin clearly stated that NATO and Russia will be “at war” if Ukraine is allowed to fire long-range missiles supplied by western powers at targets deep inside Russia, and subsequently Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov explained that his nation will “respond in a brutal way” if this actually happens…
“The Russian President has said everything on this topic. The decision [to allow Kiev to strike] is there, all the carte blanche, indulgences have been issued to Kiev’s clients. Therefore, we will respond in a brutal way. There is an element of serious risk here, because the opponents in Washington, London, and other places clearly underestimate the degree of danger of the game they continue to play,” Ryabkov said.
If our leaders miscalculate, we could literally find ourselves in the middle of a nuclear war.
The stakes couldn’t be any higher, and most people in the western world have no idea.
Dmitry Medvedev has even gone so far as to say that the Russians could turn Kyiv into a “giant, grey, melted spot”…
Referring to Kyiv he wrote in a Telegram post: “And that would be it. A giant, grey, melted spot instead of ‘the mother of Russian cities’.”
He also ranted about how “Russia is showing patience” but that the West should not assume Putin would balk at “crossing the line” or triggering an “apocalypse” with nuclear weapons.
Medvedev just this week threatened to use hypersonic missiles to sink Britain if Zelensky’s armies were granted the go-ahead with UK Storm Shadow missiles.
The Russians are not bluffing.
Why can’t our leaders seem to understand this?

If long-range missiles that are supplied by western countries and that are directed to their targets by western countries start falling in Russian cities, the consequences could be apocalyptic…
To say this is an insane, reckless move is an understatement. This is the most dangerous step possible for the US and NATO – and it will likely lead to World War III.
Don’t believe any rhetoric “justifying” the use of long-range missiles on Russia. Putin has pointed out that while Ukraine will host the missiles, they will be fired by NATO personnel who will also insert the targeting data coming from overhead satellites covering Russian territory. Those satellites are American.
This is a line that we must not cross.
As Steve Quayle pointed out during a recent interview with Greg Hunter, we really are “at the inception point for World War III”…
Quayle warns, “This is not a trial run, the Bay of Pigs or the Cuban missile crisis. This is World War III. . . .We are seeing people crazy or people demonically possessed, in my opinion, talking about launching western missiles, German, British or US missiles into Russia. The Russian Ambassador to the UN said on Friday (9/13/24), ‘If you do that, we will consider it an act of war against Russia, and all options are open to us, and none of your countries are safe.’ That’s the bottom line. All these years you warn ahead of time, and they mock you saying fear monger and fear porn. . . . Well, we are at the inception point for World War III. This will not be getting any better.”
Meanwhile, things continue to heat up in the Middle East.
On Sunday, the Houthis shot a hypersonic missile at the Tel Aviv area…
The Houthis claimed responsibility on Sunday for launching a ballistic missile toward central Israel, asserting that it was a new hypersonic missile.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the missile traveled a distance of 2,040 km (1,267 miles) in 11.5 minutes. “We carried out a high-quality military operation targeting a military target in the Tel Aviv area,” Saree said.
How in the world did the Houthis get hypersonic missiles?
I will give you only one guess.
Needless to say, the Iranians would have supplied them.
In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pledging to impose a “heavy price” on the Houthis…
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to exact a heavy price from the Houthis for its missile attack against central Israel on Sunday.
“This morning, the Houthis launched a surface-to-surface missile from Yemen into our territory,” Netanyahu told his government during its weekly meeting.
“They should have known by now that we exact a heavy price for any attempt to harm us,” he stated.
On the northern front, the IDF conducted airstrikes deep inside of Lebanon on Saturday after Hezbollah fired approximately 60 rockets into northern Israel…
The Israel Defense Forces launched airstrikes deep in Lebanon on Saturday, after the Hezbollah terror group bombarded northern Israel with over 60 rockets, including a barrage launched in the early morning hours.
The rocket attacks marked the second day in a row that Hezbollah has targeted the Safed area, though the terror group has claimed to have targeted nearby Israeli military bases.
We are getting very close to all-out war in the Middle East.
It appears that it is just a matter of time.

Once an all-out war in the Middle East erupts, it will be too late to reverse course.
Of course the exact same thing could be said about an all-out war between the United States and Russia.
If our leaders had any common sense, they would be looking for a peaceful way out of this mess while they still can.
Unfortunately, common sense is in very short supply these days.
