I find MacGregor unreliable in his assertions with respect to, say, the state of the Russian armed forces, as he has not recently been in Russia/Ukraine to inspect the Russian army as it is today.
He has no sound basis for his assertions, or none better than the rest of us.
I see politics written all over this
Not passing judgment on his morality. Just pointing out that extramarital sex/romance is a drug as deadly as an enemy army.
As an aside, I add "romance" above because the sex drugs (the array of chemicals released in the brain) can be triggered by something as innocent as illicit romance.
It's better to smoke weed than to mess around with this mixture of drugs. Weed can make you lazy and forgetful, an illicit affair will ruin your life.
I know this from personal experience.
McGregor may be wrong but Petreaus or this administration has yet to explain what the US vital national security interest is in a war to place their 100 billion dollar bet (to date) on
with no limit yet in sight. Russia is not the USSR and the global monolithic threat it was. It is a kleptocracy that may pose a regional threat to Europe who should be funding the war, not the US.
Kind of rich for MacGregor, who has been repeatedly wrong on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, to label anybody else as 'Divorced from Reality'.
If anyone is divorced from reality, it’s MacGregor.
Putin Insists 99.9 Percent of Russians Ready to 'Sacrifice Everything'
I really do not see anything wrong about General Petraeus’ assessment of how the Russians stack up as a fighting force. Russian soldiers, at least those of recent vintage, are really not ten feet tall with swift sure capability to overcome and trample an opposing force. The Ukrainians, fighting for their continuing existence, are driven by things that are simply not on the radar of the Russians or their leader Putin. The Russians wanted territory, and thought the Ukrainians were pushovers. Serious miscalculation.
He is spot on about Pertraeus. Petraeus is owned by \Deep State and has become largly a clown they dreag out to do their bidding..
We’ve learned from the Twitter files that deep state FBI and intelligence agents have been all over social media sites for years spreading propaganda. Pretty clear we’ve got them her on FR pushing the globe homo Ukraine narrative. We all see who pushes this on a daily basis.
Petraeus is simply auditioning for a national security position.
Now THAT is a funny headline.
Let’s get something straight: Our military were NOT defeated in Iraq or in Afghanistan.
