“…Carlson then asked MacGregor what Putin’s endgame is in this conflict, to which MacGregor replied that it’s to take a portion of Ukraine and establish a buffer zone separating NATO with Russia….”
***************************************************************
MacGregor speculates that this “buffer zone” will be the portion east of the Dnieper river. IMHO, if the goal is to establish a defensible buffer nation it would also include ALL the territory in southern Ukraine west of the Dnieper that extends up to the Moldova border and to the northernmost border of Transnistria.
