Col. Douglas Macgregor on FTX Scandal, Changing Minds Over Ukraine, Fentanyl Crisis
A Neighbor's Choice ^ | November 21, 2022 | Colonel Douglas MacGregor

Posted on 11/21/2022 5:05:19 PM PST by Cathi

Col. MacGregor:

Zelensky's made a terrible mistake by trying to pin the missiles on Russia. Everyone knows; and what he's done is sacrifice what little credibility he has left. Increasingly he is viewed especially in Europe where more and more truth is getting through to the populations. He's seen as the mayor of the the capital of disinformation and fiction.

The truth is the situation that Ukraine finds itself in right now is really quite desperate. The Russians have systematically dismantled most of the energy system. People are lacking in terms of lack of heat, but lack of heat is not the only problem when you destroy the energy grid. It also has implications for the availability of water, transportation and food and forth.

Bottom line Ukraine is being prepared for a massive offensive being launched by the Russians sometime over the next week or two weeks or three weeks once the ground is thoroughly frozen.

And that buildup right now has reached about 540,000 troops....over 300,000 in the South, a little over 200,000 in the North with a thousand rocket artillery systems, 5,000 armored fighting vehicles including at least 1,500 tanks. Huge quantities of artillery, tactical ballistic missiles. All of these things have been readied for a massive assault designed ultimately to end the war. And tragically we keep insisting that Ukrainians not negotiate; that they talk about it, but do nothing and this really consigns Ukraine and its population to more suffering and certain defeat.

“Credibility” is no longer an assett or a characteristic congress requires before flushing other people’s money down the crapper!

Ukraine and it’s population are simply collateral damage. Their only importance to the globalist amoral New Order is what they have already accomplished - the incubation of WWIII.

Russia won’t be allowed to end the war, they’ll be forced to retaliate against their true opponent.

You might be looking at collateral damage across your backyard if this is true. I don’t trust DC and I certainly don’t trust Zelensky to not escalate dramatically in the face of a rout. The same goes for Russia. This needs to get negotiated now.

Another mass-media interference in an election (reporting FTX only AFTER the midterms).

Macgregor has been continually wrong on Ukraine. Show ANY previous statement on Ukraine of his that was correct.

What 'Putin Wing' Ex-Colonel Douglas Macgregor Has Said About Ukraine War

"If they don't surrender in the next 24 hours, I suspect Russia will ultimately annihilate them."

"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."

"The war is really over for the Ukrainians," Macgregor said. "They have been grounded to bits. There's no question about that despite what we report on our mainstream media.

When asked to comment on the current state of affairs on the frontline, the former Pentagon official said that the majority of Russian personnel had been given rest, “refitted, reorganized,” to renew the offensive in August. Macgregor claimed that the first signs of that happening were already evident, “particularly down in the south.” He went on to predict that the Russian military would seize the key port city of Odessa, making Ukraine a “landlocked country.”

“Ukrainians have been unable to put together any sort of counteroffensive. So, I don’t see much evidence that the Ukrainians can stop this,” the former Pentagon adviser claimed. Moreover, Macgregor said that the activities of Russian forces south of Kharkov in the east of Ukraine seemed to him like preliminary “shaping operations” meant to pave the way for a major offensive later on.

Most rural Ukrainians probably rely on wood.

It’s just the first three minutes. But, I found the specificity in the numbers prepared for battle surprisingly high and thought that the intelligent freepers would like to be made aware.

As for the others they do amuse themselves blowing smoke up each other’s keisters.

Yes, he certainly has been a voice of reason.

Torrent of Cash for Ukraine Arms Puts Pentagon Watchdog on Alert

🇺🇦️🇺🇸Washington is sounding the alarm over weapons and financial aid leaks in Ukraine.

Bloomberg correspondents spoke with Sean O’Donnell, the Pentagon’s acting inspector general.

His main task is to prevent fraud, waste and weapons diversion for Ukraine.

The Pentagon set up the mission because of the gigantic leaks of money and weapons that are flooding the black markets of Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

The Kiev military is selling not only small arms, but also anti-aircraft and anti-tank systems with attack drones.

Paradoxically, the Americans realized the problem only after a huge amount of weapons and money were delivered to Ukraine.

👆Western military aid to Ukraine could end up in the hands of terrorists and organized crime groups

“As in any conflict, when weapons are pouring in, there is a risk of retaliation,” said Graham Biggar, head of the British Crime Agency, The Sunday Times reports.

▪️European Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson said earlier that the EU is still feeling the effects of the war in Yugoslavia, where weapons are still being used by criminals.

▪️Ukrainian soldiers and officers are massively selling Western military aid around the world.

▪️Only about 30% of the shells, armored vehicles and guns get to the front.

▪️The embezzlement of Western aid has been acknowledged even in Kiev. This was reported by the head of the economic security bureau Vadim Melnik.

Its time to wrap up and close down this little moronic agitation of the Russian bear. Go home - the people have suffered enough.

Blessed are the peacemakers.
