Thanks for this. Macgregor is great

[MercyFlush]

Douglas Macgregor is a paid employee of Russian Times (RT) a state-owned enterprise of the Putin regime.

Which lies?

What sort of crap is this.

No content regarding headline/title.

Bunch of crap about some nobody no one’s heard of.

[LRoggy]

Jackson Hinkle is one of Jimmy Dore’s contributors and Dore has been VERY skeptical about Ukraine as an honest progressive.

Make up your own mind.

So, the author and the Colonel agree. Wonderful.

I believe, after a few years of study and experience, that when someone so clearly states that they are in full and comlete agreement with an ideal, opinion or personal perspective of a man (yes, the traditional “gender” sense of the word for those easily offended by their own ignorance), that they are well past objective and critical thinking and have fully drunk of the “Kool-Aid” being promulgated.

That said, MacGregor makes a lot of sense, but he isn’t a single source solution to such a complex problem. So, I’ll continue to look and see, rather than jump on board the train.

I support Ukrainian people being savaged by an unlawful war being waged by belligerent and corrupt political entities on this side of, and on the other side, of the pond.

My hope is that whatever the eventual outcome of the “special military mission” in Ukraine is, is that the people of Ukraine never ever, ever, give up the weapons that they now hold closely.

When it comes to government, the end state is always about greater security of itself, and even greater control over the population it “governs”. Only idiots and statists think otherwise, but I repeat myself.

[Obadiah]

Wow. A lot of unnecessary flak here, IMO. Yeah, agreed, poster could have added a bit more commentary, but I am glad for the post as it brought the video to my attention. I thought the video was brilliant. A whole heck of a lot of clarity and insight not seen anywhere else.

[dirtymac]

When the poster starts his discussion with heaping accolades on the interviewee, I start to get skeptical. Sounds like s ‘sell’ job. When you start off with ‘he is the most truthful’, I start looking for the lies.

I get enough propaganda as it is. I do not need to go out of my way to read more.

Ukraine SitRep - Casualties Leak - Ukraine Admits Russian Breakthrough - Southern Front Paralysis
> New Moon of Alabama
There is an report on Ukraine making the rounds that was allegedly written by the higher command of the Ukrainian army and leaked from somewhere.

Ukrainian channels are discussing what might be a leaked data from AFU General Staff:

- The AFU are only at 43-48% strength
- medical workers at their limit
- small arms and armor are not enough
- 191 thousand soldiers were killed and wounded (only AFU, not including others)
- there is not enough hydraulics and liquid nitrogen for M777 howitzers
- no one cares about the missing - there are no statistics
- the equipment transferred by the West is running out
- western weapons are operated by amateurs, since there are no qualified specialists
- no way to repair weapons on the spot due to the lack of spares and specialists - everything is sent to Poland

BTW, even with this dire report, I would caution against predicting a decisive break in morale. As with Peski, the walking wounded are sent straight back into the trenches

There are some pictures of documents written in cyrillic script attached to the above tweet.

The documents look legit. The overall numbers and issues mentioned seem plausible to me.

IF you didn’t know that MacGregor is a loon and a sell out, he’s confirmed it by not only stating we would be defeated and must allow Russia to take Ukraine;

More incredibly he now accuses us of provoking China, declares that China will easily sink our navy and defeat us, and that we must abandon Taiwan.

Which would be an incredible national defense and economic catastrophe for the United States and our allies including Japan.

MacGregor is misleading a lot of people and his claims are easily dismissed by anyone with the most basic knowledge of military and international affairs.

I don’t know his real motivation but I’m guessing his shilling for Russia extends to Russia’s military ally, China.

He has become a very nefarious character.

If you want to surrender Taiwan to China, you are absolutely nuts.

Saw him on Varney a month or 2 ago....sounded like he was on Putin’s payroll

According to MacGregor, a Russian invasion of Ukraine was supposed to be over in a matter of days, and lead to the disintegration of NATO. He also sang the praises of the Russian military as woefully outclassing western militaries, and said they'd blow right though us too if we dared send our own troops to help.

Last prediction I remember from him was from March 4, when he was interviewed and said that now that Russia has taken off the gloves, the war would be over in ten days.

His predictions are about as worthwhile as Paul Krugman's.

“Macgregor was the top planner for General Wesley Clark, the military commander of NATO, for the attack on Yugoslavia.[3]”

Not a ringing endorsement for this Putin apologist.
