One of the charges filed against Russian gun rights activist Maria Butina was that she 'conspired' to avoid FARA registration. Like Manafort it was a trumped up charge she eventually did time for. Her conviction proceeded his by less than a year.

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.

Face value question; why does Trump continue to allow this person to come near him?
Zelenski: It was worth it for all those that were killed or wounded.
I was able to buy multiple homes and I have a nice big bank account.
That’s a pretty impressive number, considering Ukraine only had maybe a quarter million active duty before the war started (maybe a million in reserves).
Maybe that’s including civilian deaths?
We know MacGregor, MacGregor is a hero, you are a Neocon, not a hero.
You gather incorrectly. I am an American who served in the US Army, lived and worked in Europe and elsewhere and have retired back to America. I argue, as do you, "equal justice under the law."
Ergo, my comment was about FARA. I commented to your view that, "Regarding Macgregor, I am thinking he should register as a foreign agent." My response was to provide the appropriate contact for you to do that. Please do.
Or don't. It's your concern, as you expressed it.
McGregor doesn't carry water for the MIC, and neither does Ritter. They each have strengths and weaknesses which should be taken into consideration, but both are legitimate subject matter experts and have bona fides in the outside world.
Yeah but the Soviet Union had much greater population back then.
Right now Russia is old. So they have less soldiers to conscript from the population that's aging rapidly. It's happening in most of the world. Only a few places like Israel is bucking that trend.

Nope not a hero but I served and fought honorably for 28 years. But then again, I’m not a bellowing attention whore like Lumpy. Maybe that’s why you identify with him.

We’ll be the judge of your service Right now it appears you bounced around from one foreign policy disaster to another, never gaining even a shred of introspection or experience. Simply put, you are and remain a low information dolt.
“Regarding Macgregor, I am thinking he should register as a foreign agent. Ditto Hunter Biden.”

Agreed. Well said.
Putin is 1940’s America
Before the communist took over
You’ll be the judge of nothing - what was your service?
His statement tells me that he is HEAVILY INVOLVED in the CORRUPTION and OIL SMUGGLING trade in UKRAINE.
He wants to continue this war until all traces of his crimes have been burned to the ground.
