Ret. Col. Douglas Macgregor, March 2022 - "Another 10 days and this should be completely over".
Lol…how do you think journalists like the NYT and WashPo know anything to write about.
Everyone has “sources”
Some really know things. Others are pretty good at figuring out things from what they observe. They
Other sources esp from certain agencies and contract groups have the mission of planting in the media what the govt wants you to know and think. So if you want to follow the news from Kiev DC and London, that’s your comfort zone.
But be assured the real elites are getting other angles.
I am just ever so relieved to not be in the business of shoveling bull manure to the Generals everyday, and sending more manure up to respond to Congressional taskers through multiple layers of editorial censorship that assure the Biden/Blinken angle is the only angle they read of whats happening.
The info MacGregor and Ritter are receiving and sharing…is not what the govt wants you to know and think about this war. Which is why they are endlessly attacked as “Russian shills, propagandists, supporters” or worse. They are experienced military officers with combat training and experience, and can provide analytical insights on how both sides are performing and likely future actions. Luckily there is a lively community of similarly knowledgeable analysts sharing our opinions via specialty blogs, because we are watching history in the making.
