“Ukraine has already lost 400,000 men on the battlefield” - former Pentagon adviser
infobrics.org ^ | 8/25/23 | Ahmed Adel

Posted on 08/27/2023 8:06:39 AM PDT by JonPreston

Douglas Macgregor, a retired colonel of the United States Army and a political analyst, told Tucker Carlson in an interview on his program on the social media network X, formerly known as Twitter, that Ukraine has already lost 400,000 soldiers in its war with Russia. His revelation comes as the New York Times reported that Ukraine’s counteroffensive is struggling because some of Kiev’s best troops are “in the wrong places.”

“I think all of the lies that have been told for more than a year and a half about “the Ukrainians are winning”, “Ukrainian causes just”, “the Russians are evil”, “the Russians are incompetent” - all of that is collapsing. And it's collapsing because what’s happening on the battlefield is horrific,” Macgregor told Carlson.

In this sense, the former adviser to the Department of Defense during the Presidency of Donald Trump affirmed that Ukraine had lost 400,000 men during the conflict with Russia.

“Ukrainians now we think have lost 400,000 men killed in battle. We were talking about 300-350,000 a few months ago. Within the last month of this supposed counteroffensive which was to sweep the battlefield, they lost at least 40,000 killed,” he said.

You claim combat experience like Col. MacGregor. What is it?

Exactly. The Russians believe their best friend is propaganda. When has Putin told the truth about anything? It appears that there are a fair number of people willing to buy the propaganda.

Of course he’s working for Russia. He was probably recruited because he was in the military and an analyst, which would make him more credible.

>Yeah, next they’ll be enlisting convicts, like the Russians. Because the Russians are so enthusiastic about fighting in Ukraine, right? All the shit about neocons starting this war is just something to make Putin fans feel good about themselves.

Well, you’ll remember that they were doing this back in 2018 when Trump blew up 200+ Wagner when they tried to assault an American camp in Syria.

The Russians are pretty enthusiastic about the war as they want Putin to stamp the Ukrainians with carpet bombing. I could care less about either side, other than it’s a tremendous waste of human life on both sides and the WEF/NATO/etc. are loving the fact that liberals and even some American conservatives are supporting the death of about a million Slavs by the time this war is over.

I gather you are for the Putin form of justice.

Here in the U.S., when a person says, “I am thinking,” it only means that they’re thinking. It doesn’t mean they’re sending out agents with polonium 210 in order to kill the man.

To my knowledge, the only person prosecuted for failing to register as a foreign agent was Paul Manafort, a Trump associate. Yet, it seems to me, lots of people on the other side of the political spectrum have taken money from foreign governments and haven’t been prosecuted.

My concern, being an American, is equal justice under the law.

You seem to think that before there is an investigation, there must be proof. No. Here in America the standard is reasonable suspicion. Upon reasonable suspicion, law enforcement can obtain a search warrant, or a wiretap, or look at somebody’s bank records. When the FBI went after Donald Trump based on Hillary Clinton’s dossier, since proven to be fake, they came up empty. Then, the FBI completed a false report on their own, to continue to go after Trump.

When that report was proven to be false, were the FBI or Hillary Clinton or, for that matter, John McCain charged with conspiracy to deprive an American of his constitutional rights? No. Of course not. Those laws only pertain to Trump and his supporters. Not to the other side.

Finally, like a typical Russian, when I said Macgregor wasn’t a traitor but may have to file as a foreign agent, you didn’t see the part where I defended Macgregor. This is because in Russia, there’s are no gradations to the law. Whatever Putin decides violates the law gets the death penalty or life in prison like Navalny.

Equal justice means both pardon or commutation of sentence for many of the J6 people; and, reconsideration of sentences for antifa and others engaged in “mostly peaceful demonstrations,” that actually are riots with lots of assault, arson, vandalism and theft, at least going forward.

NeoCONS / leftists are truly sick disturbed satanic individuals who take great joy in sending white Christians to their deaths while they play armchair QBs. Sick sick sick. Their deaths are on your hands for escalating this war, needlessly.

“After WWI, many women never married or had children, because their likely partners had died.”

Mark Steyn wrote extensively about the “lost WW I generation” in his book “America, Alone.” The male pool shrank be 15 or 16 million worldwide. It caused a massive change in attitudes, caused ennui, a sense of futility and a live-for-the-moment feeling. It ultimately led to Western European nations having birth rates far below replacement and the need for what used to be called “Guest Workers” to fill in for missing males. That, of course, has led to the moslem take-over of Europe.

You don’t get the true nature of the Azov Battalion.

Here is an NBC article that is a year old that hints at the Nazi past in Ukraine and it’s persistence.

https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/ukraine-has-nazi-problem-vladimir-putin-s-denazification-claim-war-ncna1290946

NBC is Leftist. But even NBC admits it is still an issue in the Ukraine.

By the way, I’ve read that Zelenski has bought a Villa in Egypt recently.

Ukraine is very corrupt.

And Biden’s recent exposure has amplified how corrupt we are along with the Ukraine leaders.

I pray for our nation and our leaders ever day. We are terminally corrupt in DC.
