Next up Tucker interviews Viktor Orban in Hungary!
Amazing!
6.8 million people have already seen this since it was posted.
INCREDIBLE.
I’m going to watch/listen attentively so you can make that one more!
Like a whole other universe opened up...whatever CNN/NYT/WaPo/Fox doesn’t cover, Tucker walks in and does a 4-star interview and lays out a vast landscape.
Yes, it was a very illuminating video.
"I think all of the lies that have been told for more than a year and half about the 'Ukrainians are winning'; 'the Ukrainian cause is just'; 'the Russians are evil'; 'the Russians are incompetent'.....all of that is collapsing. And it's collapsing because what's happening on the battlefield is horrific.
Ukrainians now, we think, have lost now 400,000 men killed in battle. We were talking about 300,000 - 350,000 a few months ago. Within the last month of this supposed counter-offensive which was to sweep the battlefield, they lost at least 40,000 killed. We don't even know how many people have been wounded but we know that probably upwards of 40-50 thousand soldiers are amputees.
We know the hospitals are full, and we know that Ukrainian units at the platoon and company level, that's worth anywhere from 50, to 150 to 200 men,are in piecemeal fashion, surrendering to the Russians. Not because they don't want to fight, it's because they can't fight anymore. They have so many wounded, they can't evacuate them, and commanders are saying, "Well if I can't evacuate my wounded, I'm going to surrender because otherwise the wounded will die."
And so they call the Russians, they all speak Russian, and tell them on the radio, "Look, I've got 50- 60 wounded here. I'm going to surrender because I don't want them to be killed, and the Russians, from the very beginning, have always treated the Ukrainians very fairly, and very gently. So they know they're not going to be abused or mistreated. They know they can actually be exchanged for Russian prisoners in the future, so they're surrendering. And I think we're going to see this army, that we've been spending on so heavily, increasingly melt away."
Thanks for posting that. I heard the grim assessment.
He also talks a lot about Vietnam in great detail for those interested.
Unfortunately I had to do stuff so needed to pause. Argh.
That’s the only problem with these long-form interviews we need to give it our full attention and I always intend to give the Colonel that so I will come back to it.
bttt
Joe Biden’s Vietnam......100 billion up in smoke....
“6.8 million people have already seen this since it was posted.”
Incredible. Fox SCREW UP with Tucker even more than the Neocons screwed up thinking they could fight a land war against Russia, in Russia’s backyard.
In the case of Fox, like the rest of the media, they had Blacklisted Macgregor due to him telling the truth about the situation in Ukraine and about the readiness of our military to fight a superpower. But Fox, having screwed up so badly, wound up giving the Tucker the a free pass to Whitelist Macgregor and interview him.
Most interesting.
Lots of good analogies used by the Colonel. Interesting interview. What always cracks me up is that the Ukies here always find a reason not to listen to the words...”Oh this guy did X, Y, and Z so I’m not even going to listen”. Happens all the time, even happened in today’s Mum’s wall of text thread.
Does he expect Ukraine to capitulate? Given the state of the World, is it a good idea to hand victories to aggressor dictators?
Kyiv will fall in 3 days?
That Col MacGregor?
That would be great. I would wholeheartedly welcome Tucker interviewing prime minister Orban. I’d be sure to watch.
Fox lost half its audience when they fired Tucker - and they haven’t gotten them back. Its been months and months now. They aren’t coming back.
And I think we’re going to see this army, that we’ve been spending on so heavily, increasingly melt away.”
Xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sooner the better. Stop the bleeding stop the dying stop the funding
p
Should we ignore everything you have to say because you voted for Bush(s), McCain Romney?
I believe that Tucker is enjoying what he is doing now.
His credibility has improved in the absence of the FOX programming filters.
He is not about freedom. He is a propagator of Slavery.
Putin is not about freedom either, but he has popular support in Russia.
Zelensky is destroying his own nation, by stupid moves.
And the expense of that war is paid by the USA. We are bankrupt and the Globalists want us destroyed totally.
Klaus Schwab and his Nazi's want the world enslaved and we are standing in the way of him pulling that off. And Biden is 100% behind the distruction of the USA.
