“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.

I could write a book with all the proven and outlandishly false comments made by MacGregor and Ritter. Those two are like clones, they are so alike it’s fascinating.

How about you list 10 for us here.

I watched that interview.

It seems one thing that is admitted to, the Ukrainian military deaths are near 400,000.

Russians are far less than that. Not interested in exact numbers, but relative.

The renamed NAZI element in Ukraine is real.

The conflict is not as seen on TV. Or as viewed on the web.

Zelenski is one of Klaus Swab’s, Wunder kinder.

Simple herd management. One female reduces the potential herd by up to 280 over 100 years. One male, reduces the herd by 1.

I would say that’s very, very unlikely.

After WWI, many women never married or had children, because their likely partners had died. You couldn’t get some bull or stallion or veterinarian to impregnate them. So please.

RUSSIA CAN WIN this war easily if they just continue to send their children, grand children, nieces and nephews of every elected official (except from the Kremlin) and federal employee in this country to foreign front lines. They need to continue the warmongering for Russia’s expansionist survival.

“It’s that Chinese hoard that is planning on taking out the woke American military that will require a draft, although the cowardly politicians won’t allow it.”

China already has. They already control our pigs.

Virtually everyone (western sources since Russia doesn’t give losses) is saying that the Russians have lost in a 6:1 ratio in military combat (not including murdered Ukrainian civilians).

Ukraine 400k= 2.4 million Russian losses.

The thing about this war is you can’t get past the propaganda of either side to know the truth. Nobody knows how many have died.

I can name several attacks: the one now at Robotyne, Bakhmut re-capture attempts, Southern attempts at crossing the Dnieper…that’s 3 just from my memory.

About Robotyne. I fully expect Ukraine to take it. Right now (well as of this morning early—US time) they were still fighting on the S outskirts. Maybe Ukr has pushed the rest of the way since then.

I am not surprised by this, it’s Ukraines last push, they are using good men, quality equipment from the West. They will have local success. I like the Ukr people. I dont like Zelensky or most of the liberal —leftist western leaders that support him.

What I don’t understand about the Ukraine supporters here is you seem blind to the bigger scale of the war. You are talking horrendous losses and the frittering away of an offensive so big it was supposed to being Russia (on its knees) to the bargaining table. All it has done is capture a few tiny villages, some thousands of acres of farmland and killed a relatively small number of Russ troops and equipment at a Massive loss. I’m reading 40,000 of the best Ukr troops KIA and perhaps 1/3 of their offensive equipment. Oh and it finally reached the first Russ MLR…after 2 months of hard fighting..wow that’s a failure in itself.

Why fight to the last man mentality when we are speaking of few border territories that want to leave Ukr anyway (no I don’t believe the Ukr claims the people in those borders areas hate Russia—I consider those as lies)? As well as guarantees of neutrality? (was to wether or not those are Putin lies I don’t know…they seem legit).

Boy, you sure assume lot of things about me, such as a lack of combat experience. Oh, and thanks for your service. 😂

Macgregor is actually publishing for RT (Russia Today), thus in a country which we are in proxy-war with.

Doesn’t that alone make him a traitor according to our laws?

I have to check that out.

“That may not seem to be the best source but any source is better than McGregor.”

Then you need to contact Tucker Carlson, with all his highly placed contacts, and inform him that they are all wrong. He just needs to do random internet searches.

Let’s not starting throwing enemies of the regime off tall buildings, or shooting their planes down with Surface to Air Missiles.

It’s already awful what the regime is doing to Trump.

Instead, let’s counter propaganda with facts.

Regarding Macgregor, I am thinking he should register as a foreign agent. Ditto Hunter Biden.

I’m not an expert in reading the fruit salad, but I don’t see anything that looks like a CIB.
