They're not experts though. They're doing podcasts. Mcgregor has been absolutely wrong about Ukraine for 3 years now. He also acts like this started 3 years ago. Ukraine in the Eastern portion has been at war since Russia took Crimea, nearing a decade. They still haven't "won" this conflict. It just became official 3 years ago. Russia have been at war for quite some time, just not declared. Still not technically. "Special military operations."

Ukraine in the Eastern portion has been at war since Russia took Crimea, nearing a decade.

Yes, with Western Ukraine, not with Russia. Crimea was taken in by Russia almost immediately after the US coup of Ukraine, and that's what caused the civil war of Ukraine between Eastern and Western Ukraine.

The United States funded their puppet leadership, and Russia funded their puppet leadership in the East of Ukraine. None of it would have happened if the US didn't overthrow Ukraine, and now, there's 100's of thousands of dead, and Western Ukraine is owned by Blackrock.

People are saying this war will drag on for a decade of something. I'd say for another few years, 2 I'd say is minimum, but not more than 5 but we'll see. I can't say I fully understand the geopolitics of this situation. I believe the goal of the US was to cut off Russian energy exports to Europe, that's accomplished, and also to hand over as much land and resources to capital investment banks like Vanguard and Blackrock, and that's accomplished. I don't know what reason the US has to continue this war. Russia only continues it to exhaust US resources.

IMO, a very reasonable assessment of the Ukraine/Russia and Israel/Iran conflicts:

People have to stop quoting and posting anything this guy says. https://www.polygraph.info/a/fact-check-how-russia-uses-retired-us-colonel-s-ukraine-misinformation-for-domestic-propaganda-/6972765.html

Is Ukraine going to "win" in the end, no. But this guy has been so wrong every step of the way I'm not sure why anyone takes him seriously anymore. He's literally been wrong on all of his predictions. Eventually a broken clock is on time and he'll eventually get lucky and say "see I told you so." That's what Macgregor is, a broken clock pundit looking for post retirement money. That podcast literally has 5k subs. He's literally going to bottom of the barrel channels to get his BS content out.

Get him on a legit channel that questions him. Doesn't pander to his FORMER status. He'll get his ass handed to him.

Need to stop with MacGregor. He's a Colonel. Bullshit artist looking for his fame. He's been wrong about everything about Ukraine and Russia. He's not even a General. Yes a higher rank, but no where near the top. He has no inside sources that can tell him anything without them risking their rank and job. We're pushing 3 years now with this clown.

I really don't care about the conflict, but I've never seen a personality wrong 100% of the time. He's going on podcasts that have 8k subs for christ sake. It's podcasters thinking he'll give them a boost.

How is MacGregor wrong?

Is Ukraine winning and taking back Eastern Ukraine and the Crimea? Answer: No.

How about the Kursk invasion - Is Ukraine advancing towards Moscow? Answer No.

In fact, the entire Ukrainian front collapsed and Ukraine is suffering a massive humiliating defeat.

Great synopsis from Col. Macgregor regarding the latest developments of the Middle East and the lost cause in Ukraine:

LOL.

Israel has a few million people. If soldiers were getting slaughtered, there's no way to hide it.

You can hide 1000 soldiers getting slaughtered among 100s of millions in an army of half a million or more. You can't in a country of a few million were every 18-year old serves.

They just knocked out the THIRD replacement for Nasrallah in barely as many days. RyLiberty must be shitting his pants in depression.

He said that Russia would win in weeks. It's been years. I'm talking about the douche bags predictions, duh? He's been wrong every step of the way. Prove otherwise?

He's also made other predictions that have been wrong. He's a fucking colonel. Not a general. He's a dip shit. Just own he doesn't know anyone or what he's talking about. He's a regular citizen that has no information. Fine he was higher ranked, doesn't negate that he's a fucking retard with bad teeth.

I've said numerous times, I don't have a pony in this race. Russia looks like shit. Fact. US looks like shit. Fact. Ukraine always looked like shit. Fact. What is the outcome you want? All are bad. I don't know if you're voting for Trump but this is his god damn point. This is stupid. It's a Eurasian war that could last 10 more years and cost 1M+ lives in a time of general peace.

Fact is Mcgregor is an idiot. You know it too. He's going on podcasts with 5k subs, not 3M. He's an attention whore that knows nothing. I think you know that as well. You just side with an idiot.

WookieMan says

"He said that Russia would win in weeks."

No he didn't.

Russia is fighting a war of attrition and it is working! The Ukrainian front has collapsed
and Ukrainians are surrendering by the thousands.

Ukrainian ground forces were just active inside Russia proper in Kursk Oblast.

The Russians themselves don't dispute this.

It's all propaganda. Ukraine is on Western Life Support with 4-5M people as refugees who will probably never return and would have long since collapsed with the US and EU paying the pensions and salaries and repairing all the infrastructure damage and providing constant replacement of industrial and military vehicles.

But also, Russia has a crapsack of an Army that SHOULD have overwhelmed Ukraine by sheer force of numbers, but made a series of dumb decisions and ended up having to retreat because the UA units they ploughed out of the way were able to reform and then cut their supply lines behind them. Now it's all drones and missile strikes and small unit actions here and there.

AmericanKulak says

One other reason as well - Putin found out after the invasion that much of the money earmarked to equip, maintain, and supply tanks and related equipment was pilfered leaving many units with hardware that was unfit to deploy.

Read my friend. Watch. He's been wrong the whole way: https://www.newsweek.com/what-putin-wing-ex-colonel-douglas-macgregor-has-said-about-ukraine-war-1689802

He's stupid. Not really an argument to be had. He's not even top brass and has no insider info. He's looking to get a gig on a network as a military analyst. That's his game. He's been wrong for over 2 years and counting.

I give no shits about Ukraine and Russia. They'll always be in combat till we die. Fuck 'em. Macgregor is a fucking moron though. Eventually he'll be right, but a broken clock is right twice a day. Maybe he'll get once a year if he's lucky?

richwicks says

At least he recognizes at this point there's no way for Ukraine to win this conflict,

Does winning mean getting the russians to leave and you live with the ruins and destruction of the country and the massive amounts of dead citizens?

If the Russians win they have to deal with the destruction. I guess that's a win? Stupid war either way. Russia is not winning by any metric. They will if a cease fire agreement does happen, but there are no signs of Russia winning 3 years deep into this. This is a decade long war.

Voting Trump, but his bluster on this is BS. This has devolved way too much. Russia now knows we have the Israel situation on our hands. They can do what they want including war crimes. They'll just start killing civilians and mowing them down. I don't agree, but we'll defend Israel over Ukraine. I don't want to defend any of them. They produce literally nothing for Americans.

This war could have been ended 2 years ago had not Boris flown in last minute to piss and shit all over the peace agreement that was signature ready between the Ukes and the Russkies.

WookieMan says

Ukraine is not part of NATO and the world is more aware of globalist meddling. That is not a loss for Russia

I've made dozens of comments on this. I give little to no shits about either country. We held 2 countries for at least 15 years each. We lost more people in Chicago in that time than soldiers in those two countries. Russia and Ukraine have both likely lost 6 figures plus compared to about 4,800 over a decade in a half with our shit show in the ME. Really think about it. It's nearing just 3 years.

Russia looks weak. Ukraine was never dominant in anything. My prediction is Ukraine gives up land and joins NATO in a peace deal. That's a major loss to Russia. They're walled in. That's the end game here. Give them the land, but Russia done fucked up in the long run. There's no other way to spin it. I don't want to give Ukraine anymore money, but I know what the goals are.

We're building a wall and this is the last brick. Using Ukraine as a pawn while weakening Russia. Ukraine will be a NATO country at some point.

Fact is Russia has had plenty of time to come to the table. They won't. Why? There's no one actually thinking of even invading them. They made their own bed. I don't care if nukes get lobbed. I don't fear death because you can't avoid it and I'm not sure I want to grow super old. Give me the codes and this would have been done 2 years ago.
