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.”

“Take it from one who has been in Ukraine”

I’ll one up that. I’ve made 18 trips to Ukraine and lived in Afghanistan for 6 years.

Re: “Its infrastructure is worse than Afghanistan.”

This may be true now with the Russian destruction, but before that, and even probably now, it’s a total falsehood. For example, Ukraine had high-speed trains and superhighways. Afghanistan had a few highways made dangerous by insurgents. Most Ukrainian cities had running water while in Afghanistan it’s mostly well water. Major Ukrainian cities had proper sewage treatment while much of even residential Kabul was open sewers down the middle of the road. When I was there there were 2 escalators in all of Afghanistan. In Kyiv they were everywhere. In Kyiv you can use credit cards in even Google Pay for the metro. In Kabul everything was cash with no financial infrastructure. I could go on and on…

You sure you were in Ukraine because it was a shithole when I was there. Superhighways? You mean the ones with potholes big enough to swallow a tractor trailer rig? Water system in Kremenchuk was shutdown regularly because of the contamination. Yes you could use a credit card there but at risks but you could use one in Afghanistan with the same risks in places. Once outside Kyiv you have nothing but a dump that resembles Baghdad or Ramadi.
