Retired Army Col. Douglas MacGregor believes Ukraine has already lost its war with Russia. But he thinks many Western leaders want to keep supporting Ukraine to accomplish their real goal of pulling the United States into a direct conflict with Russia.
“Ukraine has lost this war. I would argue it lost it some time ago,” said MacGregor during an appearance on Judge Andrew Napolitano’s podcast, “Judging Freedom.” (Related: Ukraine is running out of ammunition as Russia continues to overpower its military.)
“It’s now becoming so apparent that even the most ardent supporters of Ukraine’s war on Russia in London, Berlin, Paris and Washington can’t really stand up and say anything else. I suppose some will, but the truth is the war is over,” he continued.
MacGregor explained that Ukraine is experiencing widespread logistical failures and is losing a lot of ground in its eastern Donbas region, which Russia claims as being the rightful territory of the separatist Luhansk and Donetsk republics.

He is a shill for Putin.
He has been consistently wrong at every level. He said in February that Ukraine would be obliterated by Putin
Ukraine won the war. Right now Russia is struggling only for Donbas. It withdrew from Kyiv, Kharkiv and now around kherson.
We do know this… whomever is running the war on the Ukrainian side is an abject moron. Slowly being encircled, yet they do nothing.
I have heard many reports of the Ukrainian generals asking to pull back from Lysychans’k a week or so ago and were told no. Even though tactically it was the right thing to do. Now it is too late.
Quite simply there is no way Ukraine wins with its current tactical leadership.
Wanna check that?
Excellent summarization, Reaganez!

Just the opposite, BRICS type organizations allow countries to avoid dealing with politically corrupt economies/governments like the US and EU. The rest of the world realizes the decadent west can and will apply the same economic terror tactics if they don’t like your stand on Russia, climate, trans BS, etc. Look at the ruble, doing great. BRICS and even rogue EU countries will buy all the resources Russia cares to export. In the economic war declared against Russia, the people of the EU and US are getting our brains beaten out. BRICS is the wave of the future not the decadent west, pushing pushing its ridiculous social and political decrees above all else.
Your last line is closer to the truth than anyone is willing to admit: “Breaking news: No one knows what they’re taking about.”
A part of my mind takes COL, Rtd, MacGregor as stating a point of view that must be kept in mind, whether or not we agree with it. Another part sees him as one of those who said that Gen George Washington and the American “colonies” had already lost the American Revolutionary War after defeats in 1776 and that “clearly” the South had won the American Civil War after its victories in 1862 & 1863.
Putin thought he would get a quick victory, but the Ukrainians surprised him and now both sides are in for the long fight.
Lot’s of people “know what they are talking about.” Here is actual up to date battlefront info.

And that supports Putin and Winnie the Xi.
I seen videos with my own eyes of Americans fleeing from rooftops in helicopters from Saigon. That is not a sign of victory. It is sign of a defeated military fleeing in panic
What you wrote:
“Iran which is now a satellite state of Iran.”
Wynken Blinkin and Nodding off said we were winning....
I obviously meant Iraq is a satellite of Iran.
You being highly intelligent poster figured that out.
Ukraine has lost east Ukraine & Crimea. If Russia goes after the remainder of the southern coast, then they are focused on defeating the rest of Ukraine. If not, then they aren’t.
Uh, yeah. Whatever, Loser.
The 1980s ended 40 years ago. It’s long past time for you to crawl out of your parents’ basement, cut off that stupid mullet and put on a respectable pair of pants, you dumbass, monkey-faced idiot.
Your strict use of only Aristotelian Logic to lay waste to my arguments and to falsify my evidence was truly impressive.
That you were able to do so while still adhering to the high standards of gentlemanly conduct expected here at Free Republic is especially deserving of our respect!
Oh, wait...!
