Army Col (Ret) MacGregor: U.S. Should "Stop Shipping Weapons And Stop Encouraging Ukrainians To Die In A Hopeless Endeavor"
Real Clear Politics ^ | 27 Feb | Tim Hains

TREY GOWDY: Why do you think Putin is doing this? What is his end game?

COL. DOUG MACGREGOR: Well, Vladimir Putin is carrying through on something that he has been warning us about at least for the last 15 years, which is he will not tolerate U.S. forces or missiles on his borders. Much as we would not tolerate Russian missiles or troops in Cuba.

And we ignored him and he finally acted. He was not going to allow Ukraine, under any circumstances, to join NATO.

The guy just wants to reconstitute the Russian Empire/USSR for his own ego-driven reasons. All the crap about Russia truly feeling "threatened" is propaganda.

Really? I simply do not understand how you can come to this conclusion about his ego being the driver for him wanting to "reconstitute... the USSR".

More and more of the comments on FR about this issue are seemingly so emotionally driven. It's challenging to have a discussion given this.

It won’t have to be a plane. We are supplying what the russians consider an enemy force. Action to prevent re-supply by taking out vehicles or a vessel engaged in it is increasing likely.

***Much as we would not tolerate Russian missiles or troops in Cuba. ***

We pulled our missiles out of Turkey as a result of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Can’t imagine anyone wanting to send US troops into war with senile, corrupt Joe Biden in charge.

They must not be thinking. Everything brandon touches turns to crap.

MacGregor is a cold, steely-eyed effer. No diplomacy with that guy. Smart as heck.

Couldn’t get past Colonel in the kiss-ass army.

what i see is the Ukrainian version of the war of 1812.
Ukraine has declared itself an independent nation, with a few years between, when the putin empire denies that construct, and invades.as with 1812, the russian forces set out to conquer and burn the capital city and the buildings that defined it as the capital.

this time, instead of a standing army alone, every Ukrainian citizen that could carry a rifle and ammo, is doing so.

this is something putin does not really grasp. a free people fighting for the existence of their country, their land, their homes, and their continued freedom, is something deeper than any conscripted to military person would ever understand. IMHO, the russian people are still not “free”, and wll not be, until the last individual connected to the time before the fall of the berlin wall is dead.

Refuses to remember how we used Afghanistan to bleed the USSR. It’s not a hopeless endeavor.

We know the difference. But history rhymes not repeats. MacGregor is still an asshole though.

“Ukraine has nothing to do with American independence in the 18th century. You people are so easily manipulated by the media is scary.”

****

LOL Exactly. Comparing Ukraine to what was accomplished in the Rev War is like comparing a toilet to a throne. If obamatard, Hitlery, soros, hunter biden back Ukraine since before any sniff of war years beforehand, you’d think people would do their research why is this..

Some guy once said:

“speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act”

Americans are being brainwashed by the same mass media that lied to them about vaccines, “Russia, Russia, Russia”, fifty seven genders etc etc etc.

America should sell Ukraine the weapons that it needs to defend itself at a profit.

“what i see is the Ukrainian version of the war of 1812.”

It would be a good analogy if we were located in Ireland and were armed to the teeth with foreign weaponry.
