MacGregor is one of the smartest people on the planet when it comes to military strategy, I’d listen carefully to anything he says.

The reason he didn’t get higher than Col was because he refused to tell the generals what they wanted to hear.

Speaking truth to power is, unfortunately, not a career advancement asset.

Amen. He’s like COL Billy Mitchell, COL John Boyd (OODA Loop etc), or COL Hackworth.

There is a reason they wind up Colonels. Prophets in their own lands, etc. They a very disturbing to the status quo General and SES Class.

Wiki: Mitchell antagonized many administrative leaders of the Army with his arguments and criticism and, in 1925, was returned from appointment as a brigadier general to his permanent rank of colonel due to his insubordination. Later that year, he was court-martialed for insubordination after accusing Army and Navy leaders of an “almost treasonable administration of the national defense”[3] for investing in battleships instead of aircraft carriers. He resigned from the service shortly afterwards.

Very doubtful. A surrender monkey. Also because he’s a worm. Being the guy that planned the butchery of Belgrade.

Low ranking officers like this guy are a dime a dozen. Perhaps those generals were right and he was an idiot.

MacGregor is a Russian-ass kissing appeaser who thinks Ukraine should just lie there and enjoy their being raped.

Neither Russia nor Ukraine are the "good guys," but Ukraine didn't invade Russian territory.

“MacGregor is one of the smartest people on the planet when it comes to military strategy, I’d listen carefully to anything he says.”

Yes, he is! He nailed this Ukraine thing to a tee.

I’m big on searching out blogs and, in particular, YouTube and Rumbler and a few other sources for what I call accurate information. That’s where I first saw McGregor. The link below is from a YouTube group that posts almost every day and they always seem to have realistic assessments, from my point of view. I have followed them for a while.

If you are looking for a 3 second sound bite, forget it. This is information on a broad range of topics and topics that can not be covered in 3 seconds.

I have found that subscribing to a channel keeps me up to date on what I am most interested in hearing — especially when all sensible information is drowned out by the massive propaganda machine and the drive-by media.
