He has been vastly wrong. He has made lots of claims and predictions, on the imminent collapse of the Ukrainian state, on the isolation of Kiev, on the fall of Kiev, on the taking of Odessa, of Kharkov, on the surrounding of Ukrainian forces East of the Dneiper, the impossibility of retaking Kherson, and on and on

Yup, its funny, Macgregor supporters can't state one of his predictions that came true, while there are many times he has been wrong on Ukraine.

“...Outside of Russian propaganda you have nothing at all to say...”

But just think of all the memes they post. They can complain about Ukraine’s endless war while forgetting that they brought about the war when they brutally invaded Ukraine in 2014 and later in 2022 made a full-scale invasion. Now they have a problem of what to do with all the cadavers: Buryats, Chechens, and Russians. There are more widows and grieving mothers than there are ugly-obsolete-Russian-produced economy cars to be sent to the poor distraught women. That is why they keep many cadavers on ice for a while and the mothers don’t get their cheap ugly car to replace their dead son.

And his latest prediction is that russia will launch a massive 540k troop offensive between yesterday and next 7 days.

Stay tuned.

Has McGregor been right about anything he’s predicted so far in regards to Ukraine?

Has anyone?

More ‘inconvenient truths’ for you, peddler.

“Col. Richard Black: Ukraine is losing more men per day in Bakhmut (alone) than the United States lost in a month during the Vietnam War”

Col. Richard Black: I would just say to Ukrainians “watch out because if you think things have been bad so far you’re going to see something that is way beyond anything you’ve conceived of so far.”

Well, not me. I also thought they would take Kiev and the Dneiper crossings in Feb-March. I am glad I was wrong.

Very few analysts on the ukranian side have made such predictions to begin with.

Col. Black is an ex Virginia politician and his service was almost entirely in the JAG (military lawyer). He has no sources of data that you or I dont have.

“I also thought...”

That is what you get from your peddler level of thinking.
That is what you get from making an ASSumption.

But this war/conflict exposing a lot about the US, UK, EU, and NATO: Russia is not Serbia, not Syria, not Libya, not Afghanistan, or is it Iraq.

The Russians wanted to demilitarize Ukraine, which they are doing quite effectively and got the added bonus of demilitarizing the US, UK/ EU, and NATO, as well.

“We have reached a point where the United States defense contractors can only produce 20,000 artillery shells in a month while Russia is firing that many in one day and is able to continue supplying its troops.”

More source issues, peddler?

LMAOGTFO.

Again, man has more credentials, more experience, more ability to analyze in one of his pinky’s than you do in your entire body.

Go figure.

Out of those 'very few', has any of them been right about any of this?

Vlahos is a name I haven’t seen in years. He was a Navy War College staff instructor back in the 1970’s and wrote an interesting book titled ‘The Blue Sword’ about war gaming at the NWC in the 1923-1939 period.

I am an engineer (ME) and engineering manager (ret) by training and profession.

I am pretty good at analysis and prediction in general.

I did get the Kherson case accurately, on the basis of logistics fundamentals. Granted quite a few others were saying the same.

I did also get that the anti-electric system campaign was going to be an extended effort that comes down to an engineering-logistic struggle. Granted I know a lot about electric utility systems.

And I did predict that Europe would be seeing a sufficiency, at least, of LNG this winter, as we see, and that comes from my industry knowledge.

You yourself have not shown an ounce of personal knowledge however.

So there you are.

LOL, Douglas Macgregor the anti-Semite? Who will you reference next? Scott Ritter the pedophile or Armstrong the convicted swindler.

The Anti-Semite on Your TV

Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s favorite foreign policy expert has a history of echoing anti-Jewish ideas.

. What they may not know is that he’s also a longtime purveyor of anti-Semitic ideas.

“We have a huge problem with a class of so-called elites, the people who are wealthy, very wealthy in many cases and they are, as the Russians used to call certain individuals many, many years ago, rootless cosmopolitans,” he told the Serbian American Voters Alliance in an October 2021 speech uncovered by Matt Gertz at MediaMatters.

For those understandably unfamiliar with this terminology, “rootless cosmopolitans” is an anti-Semitic euphemism for Jews that was popularized under Stalin in the Soviet Union. Adolf Hitler also repeatedly referred to Jews as disloyal cosmopolitans, lamenting in his manifesto Mein Kampf that “it is no longer princes or their courtesans who contend and bargain about state frontiers, but the inexorable cosmopolitan Jew who is fighting for his own dominion over the nations.” In other words, there is exactly one type of person who uses this sort of language in everyday conversation.

In case his audience missed the point, though, Macgregor added: “They live above all of this, they have no connection to the country. There is nothing there that holds them in place, and they are largely responsible, in my judgment, for the condition that we are in today.”

MacGregor expresses disgust that Zelensky's military has a Nazi core, that the US is propping up Zelensky's Nazi military. If MacGregor had been what you said, he would have been rooting for the Neo Nazis at the heart of the leadership of the Ukrainian military, just like you do.

This is a proxy war and 85% of the Ukrainians officials are foreigners - they don't care what happens to the citizens.

Yes, I know Zelensky is Jewish, and I recall reading a rabbi's comment that Z had betrayed his people. There were traitors to the people in the concentration camps in WWII, also, selling out their Jewish peers in exchange for special treatment. Porn stars like Zelensky have no loyalty; they sell themselves along with everyone else.

Right that's why Jewish Ukrainians are fighting and dying for Ukraine, defending the Zelensky government.

Jewish Ukrainian soldier killed fighting Russian forces- December 8, 2022

Pictures of Shain showed a blue and yellow patch adorning his military gear that included a Star of David with Ukraine’s national symbol inside it, with the country’s name written in Hebrew. In one image, Shain is seen in uniform with a kippa and phylacteries as he prays in a wooded area

A Jewish Ukrainian soldier was killed last month fighting Russian forces, a spokesman for top Ukrainian rabbi Moshe Azman said Thursday.

Vladislav Shain, 21, was active in the Jewish community in Dnipro, according to Azman.

The Federation of Jewish Communities of Ukraine said Shain studied at law school and was an accomplished judoka, winning a number of local tournaments.

It added that he volunteered to fight on the front days after Russia launched its invasion on February 24.
