Ukraine is in ruins. Its latest counteroffensive achieved nothing.

In the last three weeks, an estimated 26,000 Ukrainian soldiers died in pointless attacks against world-class Russian defenses.

MacGregor says Ukraine is (pick one):

annihilated
collapsing
defeated
destroyed
devastated
has failed
has lost
obliterated

For the third time this month. Or is it the fourth?
Is MacGregor keeping track of what he says anymore?

Victoria Nuland needs to be locked up.

Prove it. Pictures? Video?

And yet Ukraine fights on. They know only too well the consequences of Muskovite domination.

Holodomor.

He thinks it’s bad now, wait until he sees it if Putin takes over.

when Biden sends the entire US GNP to Ukraine

You don't actually believe that do you?

[freeandfreezing]

Putin has remarkable restraint.

No, he doesn't. A leader with any degree of restraint who was not an expansionist tyrant would never have invaded a neighboring country.

Putin and his military have showed no restraint at all when it comes to attacking Ukraine. They have been destroying the very parts of Ukraine where they claimed to be "protecting" Russian speaking Ukrainians.

Being a "former Trump advisor" isn't necessarily an indication of ability, expertise, honesty, or anything else.

Trump did some great things, but a lot of the people who were his advisors or members of his staff were not good choices to hire, and did not live up to everyone's expectations.

Guys like Michael Cohen or Anthony Scaramucci might be examples.

No matter who loses the war, American taxpayers will be forced to fund the rebuild.
With trillions of dollars diverted into unsavory pockets, again.

26,000 killed in the counter-offensive. Reminds one of the Red Squad attack on the Jem'Hadar battleship. (DS9 episode Valiant)

It proves that Trump, like Tucker Carlson, trusts Macgregor to tell him the truth about the proxy war in Ukraine.

And, justifiably so, since Macgregor has be shredding the propaganda being put out by the Biden regime and sick neocon warmongers like Lindsey Graham.

It's been 45 days since Ukraine's counteroffensive began. You remember the one that was supposed to march the Ukrainian army was supposed to march all the way to Crimea? The one we spent billions on and the one NATO gave 300 tanks for?

Ukraine hasn't even reached the first line of Russian defense.

We don't even have 155mm ammo to give to Ukraine.

The Russian objective is to protect the territory it is control of AND grind the Ukrainian into powder. The Russians are doing both.

You simply don't want to face reality. But, you will have to sooner rather than later.

[Kazan]

And, those words very accurately describe what has happened during the failed Ukrainian counteroffensive. 45 days and 26,000 causalities and the Ukrainians haven't reached the first line of Russian defense.

Who the hell do you think you're fooling?

Go look in a mirror and ask yourself the same question.

Ukraine has not taken back a lot of territory. That is 100% correct. They are taking out support and special equipment vehicles and artillery at a much higher rate than before. Those 650 artillery pieces are 15% of Russian artillery losses in a single month of a eighteen month war. Its hard to have artillery fire superiority when the artillery keeps getting blown up. The Storm Shadow and SCALP-EG attacks on Russian depots makes it hard to keep up the rate of fire.

Putin purging command officers after Wagner's mutiny, plus a few more KIA, is not helping Russian leadership or command and control. Russia counter actions to the offensive are not disrupting Ukrainian operations.

That claim of 26,000 Ukraine KIA is a Russian claim made after Wagner's mutiny and after Prigozhin spelled out Wagner's casualties. Claims like that are Russian sour grapes to get in the last word.

And as I have asked several times before, If Ukrainian casualties are so high, if as according to Doug Macgregor, Ukraine has raised and lost three entire armies, why has Russia not won? Why were Russian flags not flying on the Polish border by the end of March last year?

The last two months were not as Ukraine had hoped. That does not mean they were good for Russia. Russia got the worst of it = as usual.

So what’s the wager you spoke of?

[kabar]

MacGregor is the messenger. You can quarrel with his predictions, but he states the obvious. Ukraine can’t win this war and our continued involvement is counterproductive.

I trust the judgment of Macgregor over the real imbeciles aka the Biden National Security team who are leading our country over a cliff.

“I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades,” former Defense Secretary Robert Gates says of Vice President Joe Biden
