Unfiltered truth about McGregor's lack of functioning brain cells:

Understand that this guy Ryan McBeth is a military contractor who profits from war. He lost me when he said "The media never claimed that Ukraine was winning."

Understand that this guy Ryan McBeth is a military contractor who profits from war. He lost me when he said "The media never claimed that Ukraine was winning."

I follow pretty closely, and don't recall the MSM flat out saying that Ukraine is winning. Most have been critical of Ukraine's slow counteroffensive. At best they will say that Ukraine has done better than expected and Russia has done worse.

Whereas McGregor has said several times that Russia is less than a week from total victory, most notably saying this a few days before Ukraine's major success in Kharkiv and Kherson.

1) EU is offering about $55 billion (US dollars) to Ukraine from 2024 to 2027

2) Biden is asking for $24 billion for Ukraine in the 2024 budget. The 2022 and 2023 budgets each funded about $50 billion for Ukraine.

3) Maybe this is part of the wind down as the 2025 budget may be based on a cease fire at least.

We have to fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here. The media and warmonger narrative sounds like the same bullshit that was spouted during the Vietnam War. And the US eventuality retreated with its tail tucked. This conflict is fucking asinine and could be wound down starting with a ceasefire and diplomacy tomorrow. It's irrelevant who is "leading" in this war as both sides tech is approximately close enough to waste many more lives over the next years

This is like saying "I don't recall the MSM saying I needed to get a vaccination".

Stop being gaslit and stop gaslighting other people. Everybody is sick of it.

True, as it seems like the MSM reports daily only good news about the Ukraine military such as it taking out a few Russian tanks, a Russian helicopter, etc.

So the string of good news over the last 18 months gives the perception or impression that Ukraine is faring well in the war.

Its no different than other MSM indoctrination or "blue pilled" programming such as when they promoted vaccinations and masks, and made Fauci look like a well-intentioned and competent public servant.

I don't have a pony in this race. Regardless of what is being reported, Russia looks weak, there's no doubting that. Really don't know the end goal for any of the parties involved. Russia would get stomped by NATO/EU allies in a real conflict. This really is just a waste of life and time. Give Russia a sliver of land to the east to Crimea and call it a day. This is beyond retarded at this point

But but Russia has nukes and is saving Christianity or something by using Chechen and Syrian jihadis to kill Ukrainians.

Of course this war had totally exposed Russia as a third rate military power. It will take decades to recover the men and material that Putin foolishly threw away in his botched invasion. Russia was already in a demographic death spiral before the war.

Ukraine is suffering massively as well but is forging a history and national identity that can propel their society for generations.

WookieMan says

Russia looks weak

OMG - nobody cares what Russia "looks" like.

What's happening?

Appearance, your assessment of the situation is pointless. MY viewpoint is pointless. Propaganda is stupid. I'm so tired of it. It doesn't matter what Americans think about this war, at all, in any relevant way - it won't change the outcome of this war.

Propaganda is used to give morale to the troops fighting this stupid fucking war. In this stupid fucking war for the US, it's only used to fund this stupid fucking war, to get compliance to fund this stupid fucking war. $700 to every family on Maui that had their homes destroyed through what I think was arson, billions to Ukraine for a bullshit proxy war that never had to happen. They need your support to continue money laundering, that's it. They want your compliance. You're giving them that, and your compliance won't change the outcome of the war, it will just change how much fucking money they make off from this stupid fucking war.

As long as the puppets support it, money will be spent on it. There's NO POSSIBILITY that Ukraine will win. This is a money laundering operation, just like Afghanistan was, and every war after that was.

Ukraine is fucked. They are outnumbered. It's like Texas going to war with the United States. I'd hope that Texas would win, but I know they wouldn't.

Betrayus and a Kagan wrote a WaPo piece trying to Keep Hope Alive for the Ukrainian Counteroffensive.

Here's the FT's published map:

https://www.ft.com/content/4351d5b0-0888-4b47-9368-6bc4dfbccbf5

The FT is definitely biased and the Insitute for the Study of War is as well.

Yet the best they can come up with is a couple of breaches of Russia's first layer of admitted three layers of defense.

I think more square feet were exchanged during peak Trench Warfare in WW1. Most of the area in question in open rural fields, not dense urban areas.

This all being said, the fact that Ukraine is launching a shitty offensive at all doesn't speak well about Russian Military Organization.

Larry Johnson properly identifies what the war is actually about. Ukraine allowed itself to be raped by oligarchs, and Putin won't allow that to be done in Russia. He put an end to it starting in 2000. Russia is FAR from perfect, but it's better off than Ukraine.

The latest dose of reality and truth for those that believe the silly notion that Ukraine can win this war. Macgregor also covers a variety of related topics, including the future of Europe and the NATO alliance, what's really behind the continuing supplies to Ukraine, etc. Slightly over an hour in length, but well worth the time.

Let's hear from a general instead of always-wrong colonel, shall we?

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce Gen. Gurulev:

Interesting from the Russian general and MP Gurulev who took it to Telegram to say that Ukrainians have changed tactics, that they effectively combat minefields, that their drones are endless, and that the Russian counter-battery fire is still ineffective.

We've actually heard these things many times before but it is curious to hear this from a top-level official who decided to share this over 3 months after the start of the CO, indicating that things are worsening.

This is one of the best interviews... Col Douglas Macgregor with George Galloway... very informative and well worth the time.

Douglas Macgregor in The American Conservative:

"Washington’s globalist-neocon leadership assured Zelensky that he and his government would have the financial and military backing of the United States and its NATO allies "for as long as it takes..." Claims of Ukrainian battlefield successes from the popular "Ghost of Kiev" to the recovery of Bakhmut turned out to be flatulence on steroids. When NATO members met in Vilnius in July 2023, the mood had changed. Ukraine’s fate, let alone its membership in NATO, would be determined by the outcome of the Ukrainian Army’s celebrated counteroffensive.

As Ukrainian losses mounted and Ukraine’s counteroffensive failed catastrophically, things went seriously wrong for Washington... The hunt for an exit strategy from Ukraine without openly calling it such was underway...

Thus, the descent of the collective West into a Hell of its own making continues. Washington and its NATO allies confront a distasteful choice: Acknowledge Moscow’s legitimate national security interest in Ukraine and end the bloodbath, or risk dragging Europe into a devastating regional war for which Europeans and Americans are not prepared."

Here's the unfiltered truth about Ukraine.

The US is almost certainly getting ready to ramp it down and make a deal or freeze the conflict.

That's what I get out of this post, and reading some lamestream media today, all getting much more tame on Ukraine.

There are not enough arms for both wars.

I believe that the claim that Ukraine has reclaimed more than 1/2 of the territory that Russia seized, as false. What territory did Russia have, and what was reclaimed?

I am sick and tired of government assholes lying to the public. I know Russia has drawn back in small territories, but it's small to my knowledge. I'm disgusted that it's now considered standard operating procedure, and acceptable, for government officials to lie to the public. If Blinken is lying about this, any statement he makes forward (unless he makes a retraction) should be assumed to be untrue. I'm tired of government officials lying.

What he's talking about is a measurable metric. If he's incorrect, it's provably incorrect. He has greater access to information than I do, I can smell bullshit here, so either he's right and I'm wrong and I don't have sufficient information because I have poor media, OR he's an idiot, OR he's lying.

If he's lying or an idiot, he should be fired, but he won't be. Liars are given promotions in our government.

Ukraine, IF I can trust the information I'm receiving is a bloodbath for the Ukrainians. The people that caused this bloodshed should be executed if I'm correct. I suggest Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt to be executed to start with. This war from its inception wasn't possible for Ukraine to win, and no war should be fought without a reasonable expectation of victory. Ukraine should have surrendered immediately in my opinion, but time will tell. I believe 100's of thousands of Ukrainians have been killed, but I know propaganda. Hopefully, I've been fooled. It's a tragedy if I'm properly informed.

True. Russia is defeating NATO and the US in Ukraine massively and decisively.

Take it with a grain of salt but those two are the most accurate about the conflict. Macgregor is useless on predictions.

Basically Russia doesn't seem to be advancing or retreating, and of course the same would be true of Ukraine.

Ukraine I predict to fall out of the news and the war will go on for years quietly. The war should have never been fought.

richwicks says

Actually, Russia has started to advance. The Ukey offensive is officially dead and the Russians are pouring across the lines....all of them.

Hundreds of tanks and APCs involved. But mostly it is the massive amounts of mobile artillery involved that is going to make the difference.

So why aren't you hearing about this on the news?

Awfully convenient, this Israel thing eh?

No way to know if it's true or false at least not yet.

I bet Russia will eventually get to the Dnieper river, but I also predict that's long in the future, like years. I also wouldn't be surprised if Russia takes southern Ukraine and make them landlocked. I think it would be a bit of a dick move for Russia to cut them off from the Black Sea.
