He’s right about 400,000 dead Ukranian soldiers

No, Macgregor is wrong about that too. He's just posting Russian talking points.

Just because somebody served in the military doesn't mean they get a lifetime pass for their behavior. Timothy McVeigh served in the Army too, but I hope you don't hold him in high esteem because he was a veteran.

Macgregor has some motivation for what he does. Why else would he be pushing out content aligned with Russian MOD positions?

Regardless of Macgregor's motivations his history of predictions for the war in Ukraine is so bad that whatever he says is no more useful than using a Ouiji board or throwing dice.

The worst predictor
————-
But spot on in intelligence. His statements on the massive corruption and Ukie losses are spot on. Truth. Biden’s narrative are lies and omissions- I prefer to listen to a man who still has vast experience, accomplishments and access to US intelligence than any emotional keyboard commando.

Thank you Mr MacGregor , a hero, patriot and master of the obvious.

Recognizing good Freeper sarcasm without a sarc tab is an acquired ability. You seem to be a good person. Welcome to FR and I hope you enjoy. : )

MacGregor doesn’t have any better so sources than I do, and given the training and conditions, the fighting in Ukraine is scarcely comparable to any with which he has any actual experience.

Lol if we could only monetize Ivan Preston's Russian propaganda, we'd be billionaires.

Here he is saying "Ukraine losing 100 soldiers a day KIA and 500 soldiers a day wounded It's over" back in June of last year. Ha! https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4067791/posts?page=9#9

Dozens of other examples to pick from.

That’s for sure. Only question I would have for him is when have we really had a good relationship with Russia. They are responsible for the deaths of Americans going back to Korea or before.

Along those lines, wouldn't the USA be responsible for Russian military deaths in Afghanistan?

“...400K is about the size of the entire pre-war Ukrainian army...”

___________________________________________________________

Uh, no. Wrong. The Ukrainian Ground Forces had approximately 200K active duty personnel prior to Russia’s invasion. However, soon after hostilities began, Ukraine began a massive round-up of all males of fighting age and is still literally dragging them off the streets to force them into fighting. Ukraine has “drafted” well over 1 million men into their military and is now imploring nations like Poland to repatriate and deport all fighting age males back to Ukraine to bolster their ranks. Well over 10 million Ukrainians have fled their nation to avoid being thrown into the meat grinder but their government is chasing them down and sending them to die for a failed cause.

I actually believe Col. MacGregor is being conservative in his estimate of Ukrainian casualties. But people like you have no skin in the game and risk nothing by cheerleading a war being waged in a far away land. You appear to be caught up in a psychosis of hatred for a former cold-war enemy and an endless lust for drama, death and destruction to keep you entertained and connected to a long gone stalemate between nuclear powers.

That is not healthy. That is not good. Rather, it is sick, twisted, unproductive and an abomination to both God and man.

I humbly suggest you take a break and re-examine your enthusiasm for death, destruction and chaos, as well as your blind criticism and insults to fellow Freepers that disagree with you.

As I was recently reminded by Timber Rattler (even though I disagree with him vehemently on this war), this is a forum for rational and reasonable debate of opinion. Try to remember that, FRiend.

The problem with the failed deckararitgat Ukraine has lost the war is that the diagnoses is it the condition of the corpse but that the analysts haven’t adequately taken into account the ability of the Deep State Neocons to animate said corpse with BILLIONS of dollars of unwarranted aid. Think about it. How does one accurately declare a person dead when it’s being continuously maintained on costly life-support. No womder so any have been wrong, including MacGregor. No person with a ounce of humanity could conceive that we really would use our proxy to the actual last Ukrainian. It’s SICKENING.

Of course. You could also just sit back and take it over and over.

Even when we were WW2 “allies” with Stalin, feeding his army, supplying him trucks and fighter planes, and supplying his industry with aluminum and alloy steels, he imprisoned our fliers who were forced down on his territory and broke all his promises made at Tehran and Yalta.

There has never been a time when we had a “good” relationship with Moscow. Their “model” for foreign relations was set by the Mongols who controlled the region 600 years ago.

Dude! You are so far off base. You can’t be serious.

Benedict Arnold?

What an idiotic thing to post. Why just call me Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot or Genghis Khan and hold me accountable for murdering millions of innocents because that is exactly what the White House, Pentagon, MSM and the Congress are endorsing, funding and promoting.

Get a grip and look at yourself in the mirror.

Or better yet, if you believe in the cause so devoutly and sincerely, pick you lazy butt up off the couch, buy a ticket to Ukraine and join in the fight. Otherwise, stuff your warmongering cheerleading where the sun don’t shine. I used to find it amusing reading comments from armchair quarterbacks, weekend warriors and kids living in their mom’s basement, but now I have no patience or tolerance for such idiocy.

Grow up, Cupcake and get a clue.

Well, sitting back is exactly what Russia has done since our government supplied arms to Afghanistan rebels 40 years ago.
