This is the guy who said that the war in Eastern Ukraine was almost over on the third day of the war special military operation. What a clown!

[MichaelRDanger]

Since the beginning of the war Macgregor has been predicting Russia will win within weeks. For over a year he has been wrong about everything...

The stupidest battle yet in an incredibly stupid war.

It depends on whether the Russian oligarchy, Deep State and WEF are satisfied with Ukraine’s punishment for skimming funds for their own oligarchs.

Ukes have started the “couterattack” by moving forces into Russian territory.

Ivan controls a pile of rubble…hooray

It was the 8th largest city in Donetsk oblast until Russian Nazis arrived and destroyed it.

MacGregor has been wrong a lot. Like everyone else. Lol.

You can’t make accurate evaluations with propaganda lies.

MacGregor IS the propaganda lies.

Timing is one thing, and the end results are another. So, while he may have missed the timing, the end results continue to match up to his consistent predictions.

It seems that Russia's true objectives were not to capture land, as many kept claiming, but rather to eliminate Ukraine's military capabilities.

But many continue to believe that the Russian military are weak and lack capabilities. It's always dangerous to either under or over estimate your adversaries.

Even worse though, is to not really know who you are supporting, because Ukraine is not worth our support. Just as this current U.S. administration is not worth our support either.

Both countries are being led by idiots, and are only promoting death & destruction of their very own citizens, as well as, their own countries.

Good post.

It is very disturbing that many Freepers have fallen for the Deep State propaganda.

The Deep State is our enemy—first and foremost.

“It seems that Russia’s true objectives were not to capture land, as many kept claiming, but rather to eliminate Ukraine’s military capabilities.”

1. Russia clearly intended to capture territory or do you believe they plan on returning Crimea and Donbas to Ukraine when they’re done?

2. Russia has mostly eliminated their own military capability and no doubt the Chinese are contemplating a move to retake Siberia. Note the recent move by the CCP to start using Chinese names for cities in Siberia.

Russia tried to conquer all of Ukraine, starting with capturing the cities of Kharkiv and Kyiv - when that failed, it limited its war aims to trying to conquer the Donbass. Now that's also failed (at enormous cost), you're saying the Russian plan all along was just to destroy the Ukrainian Army? They've certainly killed a lot of Ukrainians, but they've also killed an extreme number of Russians. Hard to see how this is a success by any definition.

[Robert DeLong]

Says the woman that doesn't even understand the disastrous implications that are occurring across both of our borders now. The uncontrolled invasion of millions upon millions of who knows who these invaders actually are or what their true motivations for coming here are.

Of course they won't give Ukraine back the land now. Had they tried to work out a diplomatic solution, even after the initial incursion, it might have been feasible to have secured such an agreement. That opportunity has passed now. Mainly because they no longer trust that any agreement will be done or honored, in good faith.

That is the situation these stupid administrations (U.S. U.K. & Ukraine), along with the ignorant cheerleaders, have created. I might add, that is only the beginning of the damage the fools have done, and it will negatively affect the entire world. Blame for all of this does not lie solely at the feet of Putin & Russia. It lies at the feet of all of those who rejected seeking a diplomatic resolution & instead immediately opted for the military solution.

Sadly, my children, grandchildren, & great grandchildren will suffer the consequences along with yours, and all the children of the world, as a result of taking the military route, instead of the diplomatic route. The diplomatic route was definitely an option available, according to all of the signs and actions in the very long lead up to the actual incursion that occurred on 2/24/2022.

[Robert DeLong]

That's your take, but it's only your take. You have no clue, and neither do I, what their true goals were. It could have been as you claim, or it could have been a feign to keep them busy from their real desired point of entry.

But I do know that they went in soft. They did not execute a shock & awe campaign, like we did in Iraq.
