Uninterrupted video interview, very telling. Of course, Biden’s war cheerleaders will not approve of it.
“ Douglas Macgregor is a retired U.S. Army colonel and government official, and an author, consultant, and television commentator. He played a significant role on the battlefield in the 1990-91 Gulf War and the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.”
Russian pundits on Russian State tv admit “Many years will pass even after our victory before we will be able to secure total loyalty of this population” in Ukraine
“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.” MacGregor 2/27/2022
Dittos.
Really? Russia didn’t ban evangelism? They didn’t ban freedom of the press? They don’t erect statues to mass murdering communist dictators in the Ukraine as they conquer territory? They didn’t just erect a statue to Fidel Castro? They don’t brag about their prostitution industry? They don’t fund Islamic terrorist states like Iran? Etc.?
I have no reason to doubt you, the main thing I doubt is all the fatal illnesses that Putin is supposedly suffering from.
I also don’t doubt that people are dying by the thousands in Ukraine and the longer this goes on the bigger the disaster will be.
In the end, I’m not sure what is really happening in Ukraine other than a massive number of people are dying.
Didn’t you all say this war was all but over back in February? Why yes, yes you did.
Then you engage in fake outrage on another thread at heavy handed activities by Zelensky you have been just fine with Putin doing on a much larger scale for decades. You are a big phony.
He also said there would be a massive russian counteroffensive by the 19th...
Wrong
Again
That just shows how brilliant he is in his even handedness of his analysis, of course. < / sarc >
Clearly the man just makes it up as he is going along to appeal to the audience he is speaking to.
You can see it in how these people post here - say Russia manages to pull this off months or even years from now - they'll claim it proves they were right all along - that Russia would easily win and do it quickly. We're not dealing with people playing with a full deck. They are emotionally invested in this - for whatever bizarre reason - and facts and logic are not going to dissuade them. Reality does not apply. This was once predominantly a trait found on the Left - increasingly infecting the right, sadly.
It’s the type of stuff he’s been saying the whole time and all of it completely wrong. Yet he is still posted and championed as a beacon of credibility by a handful around here...going on a year of being completely wrong. So is leftwing darling Scott Ritter - who claimed back in February Russia had it all wrapped up and it was just a mop up operation at that point. He is still posted as having credibility, even after decades of nonsense form him on a host of issues - not to mention the other scandals.
Bttt
No, we don’t.
I believe that this is the full interview:
Will Ukraine ever have enough Fire Power? Col Doug Macgregor
Wesley Clark also tells sober story about this war. See here and disregard Russian text. It is just translation to Russian what he said.
I think he gets it more or less right, but there aren't that many generals (or Democrats) like him around any more.
Yep.
MacGregor surely has a great record commenting on this war!!
““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.” MacGregor 2/27/2022
He sounds like a shill for Moscow.
“Biden is team Putin, and you can see it in his actions. Obama supported Putin, and promised him Ukraine.”
Yep.
From March 2012:
“This is my last election ... After my election I have more flexibility,” -Obama
“I will transmit this information to Vladimir,” - Medvedev
Later that year Putin started infiltrating eastern Ukraine, as well as sending FSB and Spetsnaz “advisors” to prop up his puppet Yanukovych.
Once Euromaidan happened in 2014, and Yanukovych fled to Russia the Russian assets shifted east to help the separatists. Also at this time, Wagner Group’s “Rusich” unit was sent to the Donbass to commit atrocities against the ethnic Russians so the Ukrainians could be blamed by putin.
The Wagner Group’s founder Dmitry Utkin is a neo-nazi, and the Rusich unit is made up entirely of neo-nazis and has been documented leaving neo-nazi graffiti on the battlefield.
Wagner BTW, is used by Putin to allow for plausible deniability.
It’s true that the world is different now, but Obama prevented even TOW-2 missiles from going to Ukraine by an even trade with Pakistan against the APC-s.
Obama fired General Breedlove for it.
I dislike Biden, but he is less bad than Obama. Trump started it by authorizing Javelins. Obama had forbidden even TOW-2!
“Take it from one who has been in Ukraine”
Glad to hear from someone who has been there.
Somebody had better get to him fast and stop him so that huge spigot on that bottomless money well stays open!
