“the Russians agreed with [Putin] that Russia, itself, was confronting increasingly what could become, in the near term, an existential threat to the Russian state and the Russian people.”

What Putin HAS said is that Putin “regrets the loss of SOVIET Russia”.

Douglas McGregor?

Yes, This Douglas McGregor:

Back in early March:

“If they don’t surrender in the next 24 hours, I suspect Russia will ultimately annihilate them.”

Speaking to Fox News three days after the Ukraine invasion began, Macgregor suggested that the conflict was already nearing an end:

“The battle in eastern Ukraine is really almost over, all of the Ukrainian troops there have been largely surrounded and cut off. You have a concentration down in the Southeast of 30 or 40,000 of them, and if they don’t surrender in the next 24 hours, I suspect Russia will ultimately annihilate them.”

Kazan, is that you?

“When we hit the end of it, you’re going to see a massive withdrawal of U.S. forces from all over the world.”

That’s what globalists fear most.

Well when you have 750 military bases in 80 countries and your own economy is a disaster there really is no way the hegemony could continue.

Interesting read. Macgregor has seen NATO from both sides.

He doesn’t have a good impression of them. They’ve relied on America to pay for everything for so long that NATO without America is a paper tiger.

And Biden has been talking out of both sides of his mouth the whole time.

So MacGregor was involved in the Kosovo “war”? I was ashamed of our country bombing Yugoslavia on Easter Sunday.

Italians are good at fashion. The French are good at food. Russians are good at war.

“They’ve relied on America to pay for everything for so long that NATO without America is a paper tiger.”

And the United States under Biden is fast becoming not only a paper tiger, but a hollow shell of what was once a Constitutional Republic’

He is an arm chair General now, dime a dozen. But he has not really told the truth. We are in WWIII and do not even know it.

I think the die was cast when America’s illegitimate election was allowed to stand.

Don’t kid yourself. Russia is invading Ukraine for control of petroleum reserves and pipeline routes to Europe. The ethnic ownership arguments are excuses. The Soviet Union would not have failed and splintered if the Soviet leadership had built its economy around petroleum exports feeding the Soviet military. The new Russian leaders realize this, and they want the Soviet Union’s land back.

They have a nine-part plan, and Ukraine is part one.

I’m guessing he was ordered to do whatever he was involved in…
