“I, personally, have yet to “square the circle” and figure out why so many conservatives are so vehemently opposed to aiding Ukraine.”

If you want some reasons, here they are:

1. Russia will not lose in Ukraine, and will use nukes there as required, and will use nukes as necessary on NATO, if it comes that (and I live in a NATO country). And Russia has the means to deliver missiles anywhere on this planet, any time they choose.
2. Russia will not march to the gates of Berlin, as they have NO INTEREST in reconstituting Warsaw Block, as it was a total pain in the ass for them - they have made that perfectly clear.
3. Ukraine is TOTALLY IN BED with the Democrats and nearly drove Trump out of office. If you haven’t picked up on it yet, about 98% of FReepers support Trump.
4. Ukraine treats their Russian speakers like shit and wants them gone or ‘converted’, which is something that is internationally recognized as a Crime Against Humanity.
5. The Democrats and ALL of the Globalists around the world support Ukraine, and, like it or not, most here DO NOT support Globalists.
6. The West (meaning Neocons) have a recent history of starting wars and destroying countries, while never explaining why it’s necessary (Serbia, Syria, Libya, etc.)
7. It’s a VERIFIED FACT that the Neocons wanted the Ukraine War, did nothing to prevent it, and did nothing to stop it, even when Ukraine wanted the war to end
8. The Neocons want Russia dismembered (that is published by them), but they don’t tell us why they want that.

The above isn’t really for you, since you guys know all these reasons and simply deny them (similar to some on the holocaust, by the way) - the comments are for others who may be confused about this war. Also, these are just the ones that quickly come to the top of my head. Probably a lot of other reasons too.

Regards,
BobL

“How can he be a paid globalist asset if he is arguing against further support of Ukraine and expanded US military presence in the Middle East?”

How DARE you ask such an OBVIOUS question. Without McGregor, Ritter, Berletic, and others, there would be no serious opposition to the Ukraine War in Congress.

Not all Jews are friends. Some are very bad. Kind of like the Irish, Italians, and Canadians etc.

“But Ukraine has taken back territory including the major metropolitan area of Kherson.”

Russian withdrew from Kherson as it was undefendable, and you well know it. If you meant Kharkiv, that was well over a year ago, and much of that land was been re-taken by Russia.

How about that “Greatest Offensive Operation”? Neocon supporters all over Western Media said they’d march right to the sea of Azov and the Russians would cut and run. What happened there? Those were Ukrainian formations trained and equipped with the BEST NATO weapons. McGregor, Ritter, and everyone else that Western Media won’t allow on the air said it was hopeless...it was hopeless, and THEY WERE 100% RIGHT.

Now the WASHINGTON POST is reporting that Ukraine will no longer even try to recover land, but instead will go 100% defensive and try to stall a few years to get armed-up. Too bad though, Russia won’t permit that.

1. Color revolutions that overthrow Ukraine democracy
2. Disenfranchising voters all over Ukraine
3. Killing disenfranchised voters who no longer want to be a part of the revolutionary Government
4. It’s not our border…why are my children’s children’s children paying for this debt fueled orgy?

Maybe some FReepers should go to Antarctica for a break, too.

Well-said.

Friends, please remember that to question and criticize your own government is patriotic and an example of using critical thinking.

To question or criticize Israel is antisemitic and evil.

Don’t do it. Not even once.

RE: After the first month or so of the Ukraine War, McGregor, like Scott Ritter, has been DEAD-ON regarding the events there

Really? He was on the radio almost every week from early 2022 on ( I listened to himn at WABC ) predicting a quick Russian takeover in a few weeks and a few months at most.

So Here I am, waiting 2 years for Russia to take over in a few weeks.

Yep, just what I said. He got it wrong at the start of the war.

Been DEAD-ON since then, particularly regarding Ukraine’s ‘Greatest Counter-Offensive Operation Ever’.

Because Tucker is funded by Iranian-Pakistani Muslim financeer Omeed Malik, who provided seed capital to Tucker's new media company, and previously purchased Daily Caller from Carlson.

Thank you for sharing this. I was unaware of the Muslim influence over Tucker.

I guess I will stick with traditional news, legacy media, big tech, global finance, the Biden administration, etc... where no Jews have any influence.

I’ve been monitoring what Macgregor has been saying and he has been wrong nearly all of the time. Truth has almost always been opposite of what he has been putting out. Treat with utmost caution anything he says.

“Since he left Fox, Carlson has gone to the anti-Jewish, anti-Christian left.”

In one of Tucker’s episodes, he praised one country (Romania?) as being one of the most Christian countries. It almost sounded as though he wanted to move there.

I doubt that he is anti-Jewish or anti-Israel. I see Muslims and Israel in black and white terms. I consider it sensible to be an Islamophobe. I think a single state solution is the only solution that solves anything. That being said, I think our greatest problems right now are domestic.

Carlson is much more concerned about the US border than the Ukrainian border. He considers Zelensky to be a dictator. To be fair, Putin is a dictator too.

Tucker, McGregor, Janssen, Ritter, and their deranged ilk will all be deeply saddened when the most pro-Israel CIC in our history (President Trump) is re-elected this Nov.

They were unable to convince him to go to war and sacrifice American servicemen on their behalf last time in office. What makes you think they will be able to next time?

Do you think they have another Epstein like Mossad operative who actually succeeded in filming him having sex with children?

What a sad turn Macgregor’s career has taken.

I’ve always admired him for his earlier work on air-land military doctrine, force transformation, etc. I highly recommend “Breaking the Phalanx: A New Design for Landpower in the 21st Century” and “Transformation Under Fire: Revolutionizing How America Fights”

But his accuracy on the Russia-Ukraine War has been awful. There’s a perceptible (to me) lack of objectivity in his military assessments regarding the war.

I assume you have examples where he’s been wrong in the past year or so?

I never said both sides are “equally bad.” Many Muslims have some serious problems, like throwing homosexuals off buildings. Europe will learn just how serious this is when they gain control in Europe. “We” did not make Arafat a billionaire. Our corrupt elite did that. The same elite that send billions to the Ukraine to fund Zelensky’s wife’s shopping excursions. All countries and groups have their monsters. They are a problem when they are in charge. During World War II American fighter pilots were ordered to fire on columns of fleeing women and children after their cities were firebombed. I oppose monsters no matter their origin. I think you guess too much.

The most important thing is prediction as to when the war will end.

I can’t give him much credibility if he would use his “expertise” and background to confidently tell us his prognostications, move the goalpost from month to month, and then just give up doing what he did after it never happens.

He’s probably good at looking at little details of ongoing combat. Other than that, I’m through listening to him.
