Col Douglas Macgregor Has a Slightly Different Take on Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Via Sundance

Macgregor Makes Sense!

My spidey senses tell me that Col Douglas Macgregor will not be welcomed back on Fox News after he gave a rather different take on what is happening amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict that does not toe the common media line.  [SEGMENT HERE] Jennifer Griffin was furious.

The first presentation was during a segment with Fox Host Dan Bongino (below).   The second presentation of essentially the same analysis was with Trey Gowdy [SEGMENT HERE].  In both discussions Macgregor’s perspective reconciles the disparity between what the U.S. government, State Dept, and corporate media are saying -vs- what is visible.

Essentially, Macgregor is saying that Russia does not want to engage a civilian population and is making every effort to avoid civilian conflict in those population centers.  In part this is because Putin knows the Western approach is a propaganda war that would be fueled by what it would look like if population carnage took place. However, if Ukraine President Zelenskyy does not acquiesce to terms, Putin could easily crush those centers with artillery and rockets.  WATCH:

What Macgregor outlines would explain why these skirmishes always seem ‘off in the distance’.

The western government and media perspective is to make it seem like Volodymyr Zelenski and the rebellious civilian misfits are beating the Russian army because that frames a better story.  However, what Macgregor outlines is Putin not wanting to fuel the United Nations, NATO and State Dept narrative engineering, thus the absence of visible fighting.

The second segment with Trey Gowdy is HERE… and below:

 

Fox News Pentagon war seller Jennifer Griffin, aka the female version of Mark Milley, was having fits.

When did news analysts take on the responsibility of correcting their guests. Nick likes Fox, but I’ve begun to notice they are liars too.

I gave up on Faux during the ’20 election cycle. I just could not handle the TDS among many of the hosts and the pure Trump worshiping among the nighttime group.

Putin doesn’t want to kill civilians and destroy the cities. How barbaric. I remember the good old days when there was a real war. We killed, maimed, and destroyed everything within our view.

Open letter to TV watching western armchair generals

Your entire life you have been trained to see a successful military operations like so:

Victory US style!

Begin by bombing the shit of the “hadjis” or “sand niggers” with bombs and missiles, then flatten their town à la Fallujah, then move in with heavy armor and shoot everything which still moves or breathes.

Then distribute chewing-gums to a few kids while on video.

Then take the city center, drop a statue in front your embedded presstitudes, and then declare victory.

Then, after declaring victory, stay another 20 years or so (Blinken was clearly projecting!), ruin it completely, then leave it again and declare another brilliant victory.

And don’t forget to declare urbi at orbi that you reserve the “right” to bomb the shit out of them anytime you deem it is needed. And fuck their sovereignty or anybody else’s while we are at it!

Lastly, once home, don’t forget to “thank” your “veterans” for their “service”.

I am getting Macgregor is a very sane logical person. His story matches a Video I saw from an American in the Ukraine right now. Griffin and the host with her, both seem to be Fox news Zombies.

Obviously, Faux is OK with what he is saying because they had him on 2 different shows and he said basically the same thing on both. The Col. makes a lot of sense.

Personally, I think Putin overplayed his hand. He could have stopped at annexing the 2 breakaway states and probably gotten away with it. A quick victory there and he could threaten the west about going further if they do not immediately stop talking about Ukraine as a NATO member.

My money is wholly on Putin knowing exactly what he’s doing and where he stops geographically.
The venality displayed by The Great Reseters is likely going to create a far more devastating financial hardship for us AND the EU but I’m singing to the choir, I know.

The propaganda is thick and it is effective. Example: My wife a good person believes the stories of brave Volodomir Zelinski leading Ukrainian civilians and beauty contestants fighting the Russian military to a standstill. She believes the propaganda because she is so nice. She doesn’t believe that those people on tv would mislead us. She doesn’t believe I am as jaundiced and cynical as I put on either. You can’t make the blind see or the deaf hear.

Putin doesn’t care if he kills thousands of civilians but he doesn’t want the bad press. Guaranteed he will live with the bad press rather than lose the war. The CIA could not care less about civilian casualties either. When Putin realizes that he will be labeled a murderer regardless of his actions. he will unleash hell on the Ukrainians. He cannot be perceived as weak. He must win.

Sun Tzu said: In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy’s country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good. So, too, it is better to recapture an army entire than to destroy it, to capture a regiment, a detachment or a company entire than to destroy them.

Thus it may be known that the leader of armies is the arbiter of the people’s fate, the man on whom it depends whether the nation shall be in peace or in peril

Imo, pretty sure putin is doing whatever he can to not engage the citizenry. Doing so would guarantee a propaganda win for the cia and will turn the people against him forever. Besides only the west destroys countries, putin wants the country intact, its cheaper and beneficial to both russia AND the Ukraine. He just needs to clean house of all the corrupt western purveyor’s of the money laundering and human trafficking’s (child) that goes on there.

I think we need to step back and do an assessment of the news we are being fed , who is feeding it to us and consider the goals of the Globalist. It is well known that Ukraine has long been used by Biden, Klaus Schwab , George Soros and other Global elites as a hub to run their corrupt dealing$ through, so it’s no surprise to see Ukraine’s elected officials publicly pledging their allegiance to leftist ‘democracy’ by using language like “New World Order ” . However, Kira Rudik a Ukrainian fighter said the quiet part out loud in an article from the Gateway Pundit that Ukraine is fighting for the Global elitists and the New World Order. Ms. Rudik’s letting the cat out of the bag interview does make the videos showing Ukrainian security forces frantically burning documents that much more interesting. I have read that Soros installed the current members of the Ukrainian government. While I am not a Putin fan, it must be said that Putin is against the New World Order. The rush by Biden to protect Ukraine’s borders and leave America’s borders wide open is confusing in itself as no one has questioned Biden’s reasoning.
