“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.

What does he know that the pentagon doesn’t or that the Ukrainians don’t?

What on earth makes you think the Pentagon is being truthful?

Read the Afghanistan Papers and get back to me.

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

A fascinating assertion.

By legal definition a foreign agent is defined by and regulated by FARA. "The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) was enacted in 1938. FARA requires certain agents of foreign principals who are engaged in political activities or other activities specified under the statute to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principal, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements in support of those activities.

Have you proof of MacGregor's "activities, receipts and disbursements in support of" Russia? Payment would be involved and traceable.

If so, please make you concerns known to:

FARA Office: (202) 233-0776
(202) 233-0777
If not....

If that’s the same as exposing infantile hypocrites such as yourself, then I will take the compliment. 😂

The Draft is coming—why do you think all those Illegals were brought in. Citizenship for military service. They need only to be young and willing to fight. Cannon Fodder needs little more than a trigger finger a bit of training and a gun. Question is will Americans fight for Joe Biden and the Woke Military. I don’t see Gen. Millie as another Patton. We may well be setting ourselves up for a surprise. Russian are getting better—battle hardened as we are becoming a nation of Metrosexuals. Yeah, we can use computers to fly drones but can we go toe to toe with Russians? Chinese? North Koreans? Iranian Revolutionary Guards? This time we will face a Cabal of people who hate us.

I know of no one giving those numbers, Macgregor has not been right about anything and continues to make the same claims

What exactly does being a “nazi” mean these days?

Is it like racist, someone you disagree with? Fascist that would be Putin

How is the war different as described by whom Macgregor or Ritter

Since Russia is on their third mobilization as well as the crypto mobilizations I would doubt that their loses are “far less”
Just my 2 cents

He’s looking for an outlet for his propaganda now that Tucker isn’t on Fox.

He’s actually much worse than that.

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.
