...In multiple interviews, Macgregor has confidently predicted that the conflict will end with Russia "annihilating" Ukrainian forces and winning the war. One such interview, with Carlson, was aired on Russia's state-controlled TV.
..."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 added that he believed Zelensky needed to "negotiate the best deal he can get," even if that means surrendering parts of eastern Ukraine to Russian forces and declaring neutrality in Western Ukraine. Later in the interview, Macgregor claimed that Western media is working to "demonize" Putin and Russia, and added that the U.S. should stay out of the conflict—and avoid sending any aid to Ukrainian forces.
Days later, Macgregor appeared in an interview with Fox Business' Stuart Varney and claimed that Russian forces had been too gentle in their initial attacks.
"The first five days Russian forces I think frankly were too gentle," he said. "They've now corrected that. So, I would say another 10 days this should be completely over."
On Thursday, Macgregor told Carlson that he believes Ukrainians have already been defeated and that both nations "are very close right now to a ceasefire."
"The war is really over for the Ukrainians," Macgregor said

I’ve put my money on Putin since Biden took office. Not disappointed yet.
Thank you. The Russian agitators on here love to trot out this trope out at least once a week.
It’s still void of any substance or effect.
My position on the matter is at least documented; yours is pulled from a dark place.
No, you have NOTHING for documentation!
NOTHING!!!
NO TREATY
NO LETTER
NO AGREEMENT
NO MEMORANDUM
NO FAX
NO TELEGRAM
NO CANDYGRAM
NO SMOKE SIGNALS
NO TELETYPE
NO DECLARATION
NO VIDEO
NO AUDIO
NO 8-TRACK
NO CASSETTE
NO LASERDISC
NO CD
NO DVD
NO BLURAY
Nothing.
“Macgregor lacked the stuff to be made a General”
You mean he lacked the political subservience.
you don’t know jackSchiff
MeganC is best reason yet to repeal XIX.
I’ve long supported the repeal of suffrage and have said so numerous times on FR.
So who’s winning now?
When this is over and Russia achieves most or all of its goals you guys will say they lost because it took too long despite casualties disparity
MacGregor like many was wrong including me to a degree
We figured Ukraine was dealing since they said they were
USA nixed that and the limited war by Putin failed no question because he fell for their talks feint
He should have razed Kiev when he was parked there attracting sappers
Now it’s a grind down war that looks abysmal for Ukraine even by some uniparty accounts via western media
But mark my words you guys will never admit defeat we know that
Btw like we said as kids
YOU AND OTHERS LIKE YOU HERE COULDNT CARRY COLONEL MACGREGORS JOCK STRAP
you have nothing to add but western propaganda to Cronos
But cling to anyone who uttered any wrong prediction in this war
I mean it is war being wrong is pretty normal
Russia is big bad commie and Pootie is Stalin junior with less hair and belly
Anyhow hugs !
Ukraine has fought like hell gotta admire that
Especially where I come from
They should have ignored the west but they didn’t cause too much cash flowing from us to them and them back to to uniparty deep state
You remember them right?
Regardless of the cause, it’s clear that MacGregor is struggling to accept that his dreams haven’t come true. As a result, he is now someone who spews insane propaganda to serve a hostile foreign power.
His previous intelligence and insight seem to have disappeared, as demonstrated by his statement from a year ago that Russia had already destroyed the Ukrainian military and it would only take a couple of days to mop things up.
You’re right, of course - 30 plus documented facts prove beyond any doubt that you are correct. However...there are buttloads of people at FR that won’t read them.
Many of the agit prop brigade here don’t surprise me
I and Matt bracken went through this over Bush and open borders pathway crap which I opposed here against the majority and TOTB
Zotted for it both of us
Similar mindset
The 2023 Dane and howlin and sinkspur types of freepers
Personal attacks and calls for Viking kitties
But since them I know to be good posters and I can’t explain except to think they are still living the Cold War under the desk or in the hall way head tucked
The old black and yellow signs era
The new phase is called "Total Global Thermonuclear War" intended to kill 7.5 Billion souls as the WEF has demanded.
Macgregor claims extraordinary military expertise.
He led a US armored battalion in an extraordinary feat of arms in 1991. He claims to have inside information unavailable to the public, and given his background that is (or was) a credible assertion.
He is presumably a more credible person than clueless tabloid journalists recycling rumors, memes, and emotional Ukrainian propaganda.
But it turns out he isn’t more credible, he is less. Unlike the tabloid people he regularly makes cataclysmic predictions and characterizations of the situation that have proven to be entirely wrong.
There is something seriously off about Macgregor.
You have well surprised me.
As harsh as it was it should not have been so directed at you, my serious bad !!
FReeps
It was a link to nonsense written by a “Death to America” Russian academic Svetlana Savranskaya. None of her idiocy is true and I doubt any of those praising her even read it.
Welcome to war. You must extract truth from the fog of lies and confusion, and also bewildering masses of random facts. You aren’t going to be spoon-fed reality by some motherly authority that you implicitly trust.
Grow up and do the work.
Colonel is arguably the highest rank not subordinated to politics. Brigadier general maybe. Stating that “Macgregor lacked the stuff to be made a General” will sound impressive to civilians.
Most colonels don’t make General.
I think the guy is a dope, but getting to Col. is better than most do.
Oh, but I have done the work. And I’ve reached the same conclusion about ALL governments as George Carlin did many years ago. Perhaps you have reached a different conclusion. If so, more power to you.
Kind regards to you as well.
