In case you are not familiar with Col. Macgregor, here's a short video you may find interesting and informative:

Terrible damage - The Russians are now extremely angry with us
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvFH-d-nOdM

The fact he is still allowed on youtube is a bit of a red flag.

The fact that he helped fight the Iraq war is another red flag.

Be cautious with ANYBODY that were EVER in positions of power in the government.

All the information is out there, if you can filter it, and find the nuggets. There's people who do it, and do it well. They aren't allowed to post on youtube, they are not allowed to be on Facebook, and only a handful were allowed back on Twitter.

Just be cautious.

Obviously a Russkie infiltrator spreading propaganda that Ukraine is losing. He has the audacity to claim that Bakhmut was overtaken by Russians and that there were even Ukrainian casualties.

Don't be ridiculous. He was an army Colonel during that time, of course he "helped" to fight the Iraq war. It was his job. Not everybody knows everything and not everybody deserts because there are inaccuracies in the narrative. You have to have strong evidence of wrong doing or treason to desert. These days on patnet nobody who isn’t embodiment or reincarnation of Rosa parks and MLK at the same time can be trusted!

You actually trust Rosa and MLK?

I trust most people setting out to better society with their plight. Some politicians have been eternally corrupt scumbags from birth on, many become scumbags as they move through the system, some stay at least net good and very few stay pure

Look, this is definition of war:

"Open and declared conflict between the armed forces of two or more states or nations."

https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/War

This is the oath he took when he joined the military

"I, _, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

And here's Article 1, Section 8:

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties [etc] .... To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;

Is the Authorization to Use Military Force in Iraq a declaration of war? No, it's not.

Look, if I knew Iraq was bullshit, certainly Douglas Macgregor did. I'm tired of these people playing stupid, and pretending they are dumber than I am. I'm tired of treason, of violations of the law, and then being compelled once a year to pretend anybody whose been killed in the military "died for our freedoms".

Our freedoms are dead. Our Constitution is dead.

I'm saying be cautious about trusting anybody in the government has any moral or legal principles to stand on. I've listened to Macgregor and I think he's controlled opposition. He's the relief valve designed for people like me. "Oh, finally somebody is telling the truth!!" - yeah to the choir that already know it.

So far, I have been 100% right about the last 7 wars, and the (approximate) expected outcome. I hope I'm wrong this time, but I think this is a proxy war, it may very well destabilize NATO, it's going to get like 10% of the Western Ukrainian population killed (no idea on the Eastern side), it's going to cost at least 5 trillion dollars, and it will drag on for YEARS and the United States, as usual will get absolutely nothing out of it.

I know Putin isn't the cause of inflation, currently, but in time, he will be. We are going to spend an absolute fortune on this war, and we're going to lose it. Russia will get East Ukraine, what remains will be landlocked, and might even break up.

Just about everything I've heard from Col. Macgregor is the direct opposite of the propaganda narrative of the lame stream media, and, his predictions based upon his analysis have proven that he knows what he is talking about. Just one example: when the media was claiming that Russia would lose Bakhmut and that they were suffering enormous casualties, he emphatically stated that that was absolute rubbish, and, that Russia would prevail. They did exactly that, which Biden, NATO and their lackeys in the media immediately sought to diminish. Bakhmut was a disaster for Ukraine and a huge setback.

Macgregor was also the first one that I heard explain that Russia was not fighting a real war, and that if they were, Kiev would have ceased to exist within the first two weeks. IMO, the man is a very credible source.

They are fighting a proxy war, to exhaust resources of NATO and the United States. The purpose isn't to "win" the war in Ukraine, it's to deplete resources of the "true" enemy, which is NATO and the United States.

Now this war COULD end earlier, if the United States makes peace with Russia but I doubt that will happen. The election was stolen in 2020, and it will be stolen in 2024, even if a rotting corpse has to be elected.
