Douglass MacGreggor has proven to be wrong on nearly all of his analysis of the Russia/Ukraine war the last year. He has been proven wrong over-and-over. This is the same guy who said Russia was going to wipe up Ukraine within a couple of months.

Indeed - his statements have been little more than a dramatic version of Russian propaganda... except that he makes claims that even Russia doesn’t even lay claim to. It also doesn’t match the reports I have gotten from friends I know personally in Ukraine.

He consistently under-states Rusisan losses, over-states Urkainian (though to a lesser degree - Bahmuht has been a deadly fight, costly to both sides - but between the quite plausible 100,000 dead Russians & Wagner and a possible 30k Ukrainian dead - it’s been costly to both.

But I continue to scratch my head - as much as I despise Biden - this somewhat disgraced “Colonel” blames the West, blames Ukraine, and continues to hinge everything on money laundering and all the traditional conspiracy theories regarding that area. He consistently defends one of the most corrupt and evil men in the world - Putin. He ignores hundreds of years of history and decades of broken promises by Russia (under Putin) that go farther back than what he is blaming. He is either simply mentally derranged, or he is on someone’s payroll.

Yap Yap Yap.

The same shit from you people. Here is an education for you. EVERY SINGLE war whore on TV claimed the same thing.
As for the rest. Cant believe a GD thing any “propaganda” organization spews and your side has a propaganda machine in place that would make Goebbels blush.

“as much as I despise Biden -”

No, you dont despise Biden. Anyone who supports this conflict supports the son of a bitch. .

He's a decorated military hero. How dare you drag his name thru the mud, especially on Memorial day weekend.

We’ll only find out the true story in the next twenty years or so. This is going to be be comparable to the story of WW2 on the Eastern front; the initial story came from the German Generals who had their own agenda to push, then after the fall of the Soviet Union and opening up of Soviet archives a large amount of historical correction/revision took place.

Anything we hear now is just the players on each side trying to shape the narrative to their own advantage.
