Macgregor has the best understanding of the causes of this war and the current situation. However, Macgregor has been consistently wrong on misjudging Putin’s level of restraint. Also, he doesn’t understand that DC will force this to continue through Election Day ‘24 at a minimum. The Biden Administration will not admit what a catastrophe this has been and be held accountable and the ballot box.

It’s starting to look like MacGregor (well Ritter and Mercouris as well) was correct.
His only fault is his poor prognosis on timing which the Zelenskphiles have used to try and make him appear to be a fool.

I think he is more competent as an ex colonel, Than all the 4 star generals like Milley we have in charge now.

More and more it’s looking as if Putin’s Ukraine strategy is the correct one. Russia is solidifying it’s hold on 25% of the Russian speaking East, while landlocking Kiev. Leave the remaing 75% of the country to NATO as a vassal state. Let them pour a never ending amount of money and support keeping it solvent. It is becoming the Cuba of Europe and will eventually drain the EU.

I like McGregor but I don’t understand why he would still be broadcasting on YouTube when YouTube censors conservatives. Therefore it’s hard to trust his message.

If Doug Macgregor said Russia was about to lose I’d be worried for Ukraine. This guy is the most consistently wrong commentator on this war.

Very recently we had Russian aircraft falling out Russian skies after being shot down deliberately by the Russian military. Yet Putin’s fan club truly has no shame while breezily contining with with their gaslighting fairy tales.

If you’re not worried about Ukraine’s prospects, I don’t know what to say. I just hope and pray a peaceful settlement can be reached soon for the sake of ordinary people and unfortunate soldiers who are caught up in this.

Other than misjudging the amount of restraint shown by Putin, I’ll be waiting on the other examples of what he’s been wrong about.

Any peaceful settlement has to include restoring the pre-2014 borders. Putin cannot be allowed to gain from his war crimes.

I saw a video the other day with an Su-25 that simply fell out of the sky. This indicates maintenace issues. No big surprise there!

Oh, you’re talking about the Russian Civil War, when Putin fled the country? Very recently we saw Biden Admin shills making fools of themselves talking about the “civil war” being Russia’s end. That BS line about 39 airmen lost, those guys flew Putin out of the country when he was deposed.

With your mindset, there will be no peace. Many innocent lives will be the price that is paid for insisting on conditions that we would never accept if a viable Warsaw Pact were playing the Warsaw Pact membership game (& the military implications involved) with Mexico or Canada or if a Warsaw Pact-supported Mexico or Canada had been shelling pro-American cities along the border. I’m wasting my time though.

That Su-25 pilot ejected safely but drowned because nobody on the beach who saw the crash actually went to help him.

Which all could have been negotiated with no innocent deaths ad saving a trillion dollars.

100%. Biden and NATO rolled the dice hoping Russia would collapse, or at least weaken. Neither happened.

“I’m wasting my time though.”

Minister Lavrov surely appreciates your effort.

The same political fringe that wanted Reagan to surrender to the USSR now want us to do likewise to the Kremlin’s latest mass murdering war of choice. No thanks. Reagan taught us better.
