MacGregor: Up until this time at night we have had freezing but during the day it has gone back up to 40 even 50 degrees. It has to drop below freezing and stay that way for at least two weeks. So if it is now below freezing and stays that way you can do the math. Your looking for something happening no earlier than the 10th; probably no later than the 19th of December. And you're talking about concentrations of Russian troops all the way around the country. We've accounted now formally, these are people who sit in front of your monitors that control satellites, and the intelligence community says it has accounted for 540,000 Russian troops.
And of that 540,000 we are talking about 5,000 armored fighting vehicles of which at least 1,500 are tanks, probably another thousand self propelled artillery, the rest infantry fighting vehicles. A thousand rockets, missiles, tactical ballistic missiles, your so called drones (unmanned attack systems.) That doesn't even begin to address the hundreds of fixed wing aircraft, hundreds of helicopters,. The helicopters will move troops obviously. There will be some ground support. Hundreds of fixed wings operating as ground support, but also bombers now. We've begun to see the use of bombers now which is something we've done for years. They're now beginning to do it and they all have precision munitions.
Judge: What you have just described must be understood and known by President Zelensky, by Ukrainian intelligence, by American intelligence, by the State Department, by the Pentagon and by the White House. What are they going to do about it?
MacGregor: Yes, well what they're trying to do is ship more equipment to the Ukrainians. The problem is the Ukrainian casualties have been horrendous; particularly over the last few months. There was an article today in the Euro News and I'm told there was another one in the New York Times describing the very, very heavy casualties. Of course the Big Lie that is always accompanied the bad new is well the Russians have taken heavy casualties, too. Nonsense, the Russians have not. That's the difference; when you are killing your enemy at a 10 to 1 ratio; which is about where it is right now in Southern Ukraine, you're not hurting at all. And the Russians aren't running out of anything. The Ukrainians are running out of everything...ammunition, spare parts, fuel, you name it. The soldiers, most of the best troops are dead or wounded and the people they are shoving forward in the defensive positions are untrained reservists. They say, well we sent 10,000 more troops to England for three weeks, you can't train a man to do much of anything in three weeks or even five weeks. You need time and time is something the Ukrainians no longer have. So the whole thing is on the verge of collapse.
Nice try, but she said “military OFFICERS” not “military PERSONNEL.” Here is a link to her speech, which she gave in English:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo3khdV3ss0
and others have claimed the opposite the whole time. Russia’s lost a gazillion tanks and Putin died five times
Excellent, insightful article, though obviously very depressing for a Westerner to read.
The thing that keeps striking me every time I read the West’s latest virtue signaling drivel is how self destructive they are and how surprisingly unaware they are of what they are doing to our civilization.
They think in this obnoxious moralizing and repeated attempts to isolate Russia that they are strengthening their global positions when in reality they are destroying our relevance. They are just escalating our decline.
Ask them. Maybe it doesn’t rain in Ukraine in May-September.
Putin is about ready to die. When he’s gone—the new leaders will pull out of Ukraine and the war will be over with a Zelensky Victory. Russia pays up, becomes a total Democracy with leaders selected by the DNC to bring them into the new World Order! Just a week or two more and it will all be over.
Thanks for the link. I had not seen her speech in English...just read it reported and even on your link without the word officers included.
It appears that whoever WROTE the Twitter quote and whoever WROTE the info on your link think she misspoked and edited the “officer” into personnel. I think they were probably right. It would make no sense that she would call out officer deaths and civilian deaths, but ignore the MAJORITY of deaths which have been troops.
Lol
>Can you please give us an example of their ‘propaganda’?
Nevermind that ‘us’ you’re dropping there.
I have a simple guide that helps you to determine if the Russians are lying.
Are their mouths moving? If yes, then the Russians are lying.
Yes, it’s clear that she made misspoke. I also believe that she misspoke about “killed” vs “casualties” which, as I have pointed out before, is a common mistake by people with no military background. You are of course free to disagree with that point, but you can’t take her statement as literal truth.
“I have a simple guide that helps you to determine if the Russians are lying. Are their mouths moving? If yes, then the Russians are lying.”
So no examples of propaganda at RT. Don’t feel bad, there are others here who spout the same lies.
“Are their mouths moving? If yes, then the Russians are lying.”
This is correct.
Now you need to apply the same standard towards the Anglo-American side.
They’re also lying when their mouths are moving.
And a good chunk of it gets laundered back to fund Democrat and RINO election campaigns. I don’t want one dime of my money going for that cr@p.
First-line NATO troops, tanks, and aircraft, plus the Ukrainian army, would have torn the Russian army to absolute shreds.
1700 dead Polish first line troops disagree.
Well, that's the point. The ground is hard and dry during that period, absolutely perfect for mechanized actions. That's how it's always been there.
And yet, the Russians lost ground rather than gained during the prime campaign season. Makes absolutely zero sense if they actually had all this reserve combat power.
Somehow, in Macgregor's mind, it is possible for Ukraine to take 3 to 10 times as many casualties as Russia for ten months and never ask why Russia has not overrun the entire country. That shows Macgregor is acting in bad faith.
You ability to articulate libtard talking points is noted.
When the USA says YOU are the laundry man, its hard to say no.
What first-line Polish unit are those troops from?
The gaslighting fairy tales from the Kremlin cheerleaders never end. They will never admit to losing this war.
It’s quite obvious to me that Putin is being managed now by the EU and Biden’s handlers. Key military aid to Ukraine like tanks are being limited by NATO and Putin is being allowed to keep the land bridge to Crimea. Macron said as much out loud a few months ago. The White House leaks such ideas, too. Ukraine will get a shower of military aid if Russia threatens Kyiv or Odesa again. So this whole “collapse of Ukraine” thing is not happening. Ever.
