“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.”
Yes this line of thinking was parroted for months here and it was obvioulsy fake news. And not a one of them will admit it they were suckered into believing it.
The current behavior of Col. McGregor makes me think that maybe he wasn’t mistreated.
He got angry about not being promoted to general and his reaction was to go and work for Russia Today as a propagandist spewing nonsense.
Might very well have been that enough people knew he hasn’t got it all together and should not be made a general because of that.
