Ukraine Russia War Status update - Col Doug Macgregor The whole thing is on the verge of collapse
Judging Freedom ^ | November 28, 2022 | Colonel Douglas MacGregor

Posted on 12/03/2022 5:54:45 AM PST by Cathi

MacGregor: Up until this time at night we have had freezing but during the day it has gone back up to 40 even 50 degrees. It has to drop below freezing and stay that way for at least two weeks. So if it is now below freezing and stays that way you can do the math. Your looking for something happening no earlier than the 10th; probably no later than the 19th of December. And you're talking about concentrations of Russian troops all the way around the country. We've accounted now formally, these are people who sit in front of your monitors that control satellites, and the intelligence community says it has accounted for 540,000 Russian troops.

And of that 540,000 we are talking about 5,000 armored fighting vehicles of which at least 1,500 are tanks, probably another thousand self propelled artillery, the rest infantry fighting vehicles. A thousand rockets, missiles, tactical ballistic missiles, your so called drones (unmanned attack systems.) That doesn't even begin to address the hundreds of fixed wing aircraft, hundreds of helicopters,. The helicopters will move troops obviously. There will be some ground support. Hundreds of fixed wings operating as ground support, but also bombers now. We've begun to see the use of bombers now which is something we've done for years. They're now beginning to do it and they all have precision munitions.

Judge: What you have just described must be understood and known by President Zelensky, by Ukrainian intelligence, by American intelligence, by the State Department, by the Pentagon and by the White House. What are they going to do about it?

MacGregor: Yes, well what they're trying to do is ship more equipment to the Ukrainians. The problem is the Ukrainian casualties have been horrendous; particularly over the last few months. There was an article today in the Euro News and I'm told there was another one in the New York Times describing the very, very heavy casualties. Of course the Big Lie that is always accompanied the bad new is well the Russians have taken heavy casualties, too. Nonsense, the Russians have not. That's the difference; when you are killing your enemy at a 10 to 1 ratio; which is about where it is right now in Southern Ukraine, you're not hurting at all. And the Russians aren't running out of anything. The Ukrainians are running out of everything...ammunition, spare parts, fuel, you name it. The soldiers, most of the best troops are dead or wounded and the people they are shoving forward in the defensive positions are untrained reservists. They say, well we sent 10,000 more troops to England for three weeks, you can't train a man to do much of anything in three weeks or even five weeks. You need time and time is something the Ukrainians no longer have. So the whole thing is on the verge of collapse.

"Discredited source."

Most decent people would be ashamed to be idiots; you seem to take pride in it.....

“Discredited by his own failed predictions”

You, and your cohorts, idiocy is mind-numbing, to say the least.

MacGregor been citing 100K plus Ukie KIA for months when lo and behold, Der Fuhrer wannabe UrsalaIdiot drops the truth bomb of 100K Ukie KIA....

Yep, discredited by his own predictions, assessments, etc.

NOT.

Try again.

I think a big factor here is that they really, really, want to get that last, big, pile of money approved before the 540,000 Russian troops move in. Then they’ll disappear into back into their offices until and unless Trump starts looking like he’ll win the 2024 primaries.

In international relations, the liberal international order describes a set of global, rule-based, structured relationships based on political liberalism, economic liberalism and liberal internationalism since the late 1940s.

We made deals with weaker nations to accept the “rules” we wrote. Nations that are no longer weak take issue with these and want a new agreement drawn up which is equitable.

>Some have claimed MacGregor is in the pay of Russia.

He is a frequent “expert commentator” on the Russia Today propaganda network. This is a job that pays money so he certainly is getting paid something.

I myself think that he went nuts before taking Russian money. He got so bitter that he wasn’t promoted to general that he started to hate America and love everyone who declared America their enemy.

10 days after the invasion he declared that Russia has destroyed the Ukrainian military, the war is over and now it just takes a few days to formalize their victory.

BOTH sides have been discrediting themselves

McGregor has been wrong on predictions of Uke collapse. But the Soros side has been wrong on predictions of Russian collapse.

Nothing you read on the media is truthful.

Ukraine has nearly 50 million people defending their own homes and farms and families. The Russians have conscripted barbers, students, taxi drivers etc who dont want to be there.
That is the setting.

I feel sad for freepers who actually believed Biden propaganda. After the lies about Trump, I don’t understand accepting more lies from western media.

Russia and China have bested us this time. Can we not just stop being imperial and grow America? The fathers never intended us to become this.
Neither did Trump..

“Between Russia, China and us, we’re all making hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of weapons, including nuclear, which is ridiculous.… I think it’s much better if we all got together and didn’t make these weapons … those three countries I think can come together and stop the spending and spend on things that are more productive toward long-term peace.”

He offsets the ridiculous lies we’ve heard from western media about the Russian collapse.

I’d rather at least get misinformation from both sides than just listen to the tedious MSM lies all day

And again, Ukie KIA and casualty numbers vs. Russian KIA casualty numbers indicate otherwise....

Wow, that sounds yucky. So the same liberals that BASHED our side, for decades, for trying to impose our culture on other countries now demand to do it themselves.

Sucks to see people pushing that ON THIS SITE.

As I pointed out in another thread yesterday:

HAS UKRAINE’S ARMY BEEN REDUCED BY ALMOST 50%?
12/2/2022, 12:50:24 PM · 88 of 88
cranked to Kazan

Watching people, peddlers, etc. cope over 100k Ukraine military deaths illustrates how badly lied to the public has been by the Western/US/UK/NATO/EU propaganda ridden media......

MacGregor - Ukie has long had 100K plus KIA.
Der Fuhrer wannabe UrsalaIdiot - Ukie has 100K KIA.

Compare and contrast, peddler.....

The real question is **why** they believed it. And why they supported a Biden agenda.

“The real question is **why** they believed it.”

Cause sheeple believe anything that is put before their faces as long as it fits within their view of something.
