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?
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.
Yes, Kazan was wrong, but there were a lot of people in the IC that thought the same. Believe it or not, there were a lot of Russian supporting people in the Russian initial path toward Kiev. That is why the 40 mile convoy never got hit.
But Kiev itself turned out to have more teeth than they thought.
Well, he’s just a talking head pundit, not a prophet.
At least he’s changing his views to match reality - unlike those that will die on the hill of their first impression or internal bias, in the name of consistency.
Never believe a general, and only half of the retired colonels - retired colonels didn’t make the Star Club for usually two reasons, truth-telling or lunacy.
