Jumper Col MacGreagor is the finest mind and intellect our Pentagon has had in the past 40 years;

Macgregor has been consistently wrong

Let me repeat that for you "MacGregor has been consistently wrong and you putinists keep adoring him

Here are the errors MacGregies has made about Ukraine

Feb 27, 2022 “Now the battle in Eastern Ukraine is almost over, the Ukrainian troops are largely surrounded and cut off, now they have a concentration down in the southeast in 30 to 40 thousand , and if they don't vend, surrender the next 24 hours, the Russians will ultimately annihilate them”,

March 2022 "The battle in eastern Ukraine is really almost over, all of the Ukrainian troops there have been largely surrounded and cut off. You have a concentration down in the Southeast of 30 or 40,000 of them, and if they don't surrender in the next 24 hours, I suspect Russia will ultimately annihilate them."

The Siege of Maruipol would last almost three months beyond that 24 hour prediction.

On March 6 on Fox Business, he found an explanation for why it didn't happen.

“At the first five days, the Russian forces, I think, were too gentle. They have now corrected that. So I would say another 10 days this should be completely over.

Over a year later, this clown is still wrong, and you keep listening to him. I have to ask - why?

March 16, 2022
“”The war is really over for the Ukrainians”, “They have been grounded to bits. There’s no question about that”

15 MONTHS after that and it ain't over

Then on 8th of July 2022: "The war, with the exception of Kharkiv and Odessa, as far as the Russians are concerned is largely over. There is no intention to do anything else"

And a few months later Russia was pushed out of Kharkiv and are actually further away from Odessa than they were in July 2022

July 2022 about HIMARS: It will have no effect on the current situation. Our administration does not want to admit that these military actions are long lost.

September 12, 2022
“this war may soon end,” and added: “The Ukrainian army is bled, tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers are killed or wounded, Ukraine is really in the balance.”

This was the day after the liberation of Izium, Balakleia and Kupiansk - and before the Ukrainian army liberated Kherson.

Only brain dead snowflakes who support Putin would still believe MacDaddy

I haven′t found a single statement by MacGregor about Ukraine war that didn’t turn out flat out wrong or worse shortly thereafter. It’s not really a question why MacGregor says the things he does, he’s either delusional or on the Kremlin’s payroll (or both). The real question is why would anyone still pay attention to what he’s saying? His credibility was shredded within the first 14 days of the invasion

oh and MacGRegies Feb 2023 claim "We just don't have ammunition to send. We have reached the limit; our own reserves are rapidly coming to an end." -- In reality, for most categories of ammunition, the U.S. can provide support to Ukraine indefinitely. Only for two types of ammunition -- 155 mm artillery ammunition, which includes a wide variety of non-precision projectiles, and 155 mm Excalibur GPS-guided precision artillery shells -- the United States may have a shortage in the coming years if it doesn’t replenish.

However, the U.S. has already moved to increase munitions production to avoid shortages

MacDaddy shows he is a Kremlin puppet every time he opens his mouth.
