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 Zelenskyy 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.
wow — Jennifer Griffin continues her live fact-check of Fox colleagues and guests:

He will not be back on Faux or any other state run media.
And he is exactly correct in what he is saying. Putin
knows this is as much a propaganda fight as it is a physical fight.
I read somewhere credible, can’t remember where, but that Putin was trying at all costs to keep his attacks very precise and away from urban centers to avoid any civian casualties and that Ukraine would try to draw him into Kyiv so Putin would lose the propaganda war if anyone got hurt.
.
Yes. He did strategic targeting.
.
Strategic targeting of what? I’ve read the U.S. has bioweapon labs in Ukraine, could they be the targets?
I love how they present Putin as unstable. Well that seems to keep the US at bay with Kim Jung Ung so follow what works!
That’s the only line the Deep State knows. Putin, Trump, Kim Jong Un, Bolsonaro, etc. All unstable and itching to attack. It’s all media bullcrap.
That offends me, how dare anyone say Putin is unstable when we have Joe Biden as a President.
.
Yup. Trump, recall, is similarly “unstable”.
.
Meanwhile, the US has a leader who really IS unstable! Wow.
No, he is not at all correct. What he’s facing, what we’ve seen developing over several days, is a Ukarainian military that is made up of combat veterans with a lot of experience fighting Russsians. In addition to Ukrain’s regular army there are upwards of 300k veterans with combat experience. They may be ex-military but they know how to fight. Give them anti-tank weapons, and stinger anti-aircraft missiles and they’ll turn the entire Ukrainian battlespace into one vast killing zone.
For reference, think what would happen if this was happening here in America—we have a substantial demographic of combat experienced civilians? Faced with a similar set of circumstances what would those guys do? This is not a dystopian novel. This is for real for the people in Ukraine. We know exactly what ours guys would do. Are their combat experienced guys all that much different? Don’t think so.
Spent a lot of time in Ukraine? Survey says: X
Also, FJB
You are right . That does not mean he is wrong. The two things together explain what is happening.
If that happens, then Ukraine will be bombed from the air and many Ukrainians will die.
The die is cast. Putin is not going to retreat.
If all of our military might was unleashed on our guys, as you say, they wouldn’t last a day.
I would like to see a negotiated end to this. Instead of fanning the flames, by those who are not going to lose their lives, they should be doing all they can to get the two sides to negotiate an end to this.
Yes. Get together and talk,bargain and negotiate -and make a deal.
Just them. Everyone else stay away.
If Putin retreats, he will lose his job, and in Russia, there is only one way to lose that job.
Combat experience?
Ok….
Name the war(s) that they got this extensive experience in.
the one against the eastern ukrainians over the past 8 years?
If the citizenry really had tons of combat experience, they would see the position they are in and negotiate.
I think Garrison Hall has played paintball with many Ukrainian expats.
When the Russians took over the Crimea then attempted to take a land bridge to it.
I have many Ukrainian friends, and been to Ukraine 4 times. The Colonel is correct. If the Russians don`t enter the city, and level it they win. All the fighting is on the outskirts of the cities from first hand reports. All propaganda. NATO, and the globalists needed a war to distract from covid, debt collapse, etc. This should have never happened. NATO did not negotiate at all with Putin. It was all a setup. Russia thinks Ukraine is trying to join NATO like Sundance said. Ukraine is thinking they might get into NATO if they apply.
BINGO! After the Biden/Afghanistan fiasco, I don’t see any reason to be involved in Ukraine b/c of all of the corruption with former and current leaders in their government and our government. Our current DC cabal is insane. They just can’t let a useful money -laundering operation go to waste!
Seriously, our American government is MORE corrupt than that of Ukraine.
Almost our entire US Congress and current resident of the White House launder money, foreign aid kickbacks through Ukraine and many many other countries. So America has Zero moral high ground. ZERO.
The people of Ukraine see the Russians as INVADERS, Not Liberators.
..
Are you there?
.
I read reports Ukraine is conscripting men.
I also read that Zelensky said when he was told to evacuate by US and replied he didn’t need a ride- he needed ammo.
Then I read he was giving civilians weapons.
My thought- did they give them ammo with the weapons?
I also hear of people fleeing to Poland from Ukraine.
The propaganda machine is getting sand thrown in it. And it is all their own doing.
They just can’t seem to get their stories straight.
They do have seasoned soldiers in Ukraine. Question I ask is which side they will fight for.
We don’t know.
I also saw that they were handing our plywood weapons (that look real to a camera crew from a distance) as well.
The RATS do whatever they want, whenever they want … they know their media lackeys will always report favorably, or ignore.
But … after 1 year of unbridled cheating, stealing & profound stupidity … their guaranteed failures are failing & broken.
The Soros Committee of Evil is in charge of the braindead prop -and- are out of control … so … their media moved into NEVER waste a crisis mode … and doubled down on destruction mode.
You seem to have Secret special knowledge. Please elaborate.
Combat veterans? Fighting whom? Do you mean blowing up people who simply wanted to be left alone and live their lives without Ukie Nazis putting a gun to their heads. Those kind of veterans?
“In a time of universal deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
I think Tucker Carlson will still have him on. Probably Ingraham too. Those are really the only two shows I can watch without disgust at the moment.
For speaking the truth, but yeah I believe you’re right.
He do not care…truth must be told !!!!!!!!!!!!
Tucker has had him on consistently. I’m sure he will be interviewed there. But I continue to be shocked that they have allowed Tucker to speak out as he has.
Watch McGregor’s sigh on the Rooster Head segment, around 1:35 or so start watching. It is HILARIOUS!
Sorry, I don’t know how to clip it. Maybe someone w/puter skills can do it. He lost all patience w/the Rooster. I am still laughing.
I had the distinct impression that after the first time Col McGreggor was on he wouldn’t be back. He’s busting the “Ukrainians are winning” narrative with a dose of “Russia is ten times superior militarily and can take the country anytime it ants”. Where’s the romance for our favorite money laundry in that?
Gowdy is right about himself not understanding geography.
I saw that!!! LOL. It was almost an eye roll!
When you’re dealing with nitwit its exasperating
jenny the clinton state dept tool will have Tuckers regular guest DM fired in 24 hrs.
What a bunch of BS. No facts whatsoever.
I used to watch Fox.. haven’t watched them for oh… three years now.
I stopped watching Faux in 2007.
I cannot stand her.
She was all in on the fake Russian bounty story and the fake news about Trump calling our military losers. I could have slapped her.
She and Shepard Smith were good time buddies. Look at Shep now….
Which one is Trey Gowdy?
The one that doesn’t have strange veins or a shunt popping through the skin.
Exactly…?
She is just rabid. Rooster Head actually thanked her for her “service”. What does that mean, exactly? Her service at lying to our country? I don’t see being a talking head in the media as a service.
Fake News, the Few, the Proud…..
……” Putin’s operating from an 19th century Empirical view of Russia…..”
Yeah, Jennifer, the U.S. has never done anything like that. sheesh.
Who TF is she to correct someone elses opinion?
hey she pushed boots for 30 years. /sarc
Fair and balanced?
A slogan…BS.
Wow. I used to like Jennifer Griffin, but she lost my respect during her segment with Trey. Her body language says it all. She was nervous and agitated and really trying to oversell her experience. I found MacGregor to be credible and logical. It’s like Fox had to hurry up and get “Fact-checker Jenny” to the rescue of the narrative.
MacGregor buys into the Putin narrative that Russia has the right to determine a sovereign country’s decision to enter into a defensive alliance against Russian aggression. Putin just proved that entry into such an alliance is necessary.
MacGregor didn’t say he had the right. He was trying to explain Putin’s strategy, not defend it.
You can’t really tackle a foe unless you understand them. This is why Obama and now Biden have failed at foreign policy. All they understand is Ivy League constructivist BS. No understanding of the real world.
Except when it comes to Antifa and BLM, they love their homeland policy.
didn’t Slo Joe go to Delaware State…he says he did…they say he didn’t…LOL
She ain’t buying, she’s selling…
Exactly Right!
Ukraine has Every Right to Align themselves with whomever they wish.
Who has more experience and knows more about combat and military issues?

MacGregor likely spent the time reading Putin’s autobiography, too, rather than “The 1619 Project.”
Well said!!!
Yeah, baby!!!
I’s respect the colonel. He was 2nd Armored Calvary Regiment. I remember visiting their HQ in Germany in the 1980s. They were a very professional unit. My artillery group, part of 7th Corps Artillery, supported them and the 2nd ACR’s organic self-propelled artillery (3 batteries) were attached to our units when training.
We turned the channel when she came on an started her ‘fact-checking’; it’s true, once you see the strings than can never be unseen.
Macgregor is spot on. My wife is Ukrainian. We are getting first hand reports from multiple cities. All the fighting is outside the cities. I get a kick out of all these on the ground reporters. Did you hear that??? You don
t hear anything, and no flashes. Wife believes the BS. I tell her if they start major bombardment it
s over. Putins Russia, China, etc aren
t going along with the Klaus Schwab WEF one world government nonsense.Thank you for this info. I count on Patriots like you for real information. It’s bizarre when I stop to realize I have to scour through comment pages of sites to glean news about events like this. I know I can count on the CTH because of the informed and patriotic people here. I think the Colonel hit it spot on, and from what we are NOT seeing from the state run propaganda supports his opinion and analysis.
Jennifer’s a fack-cheker? Who knew? LOL
I Pray for all folks on both sides that deserve prayer. I pray for the undeserving too, but it isnt the same prayer
Russia will occupy Ukraine but it will be their 2nd Afghanistan. They will be endlessly attacked and sabotaged.
There is no way that will happen. Comparing the two is like comparing apples to grapes.
Wait and see. Ukrainians will be supplied with all kinds of weapons to carry out guerrilla warfare. The alphabet agencies are good at that. Remember Syria, Lebanon and Russia’s foray into Afghanistan?
I’m old enough to remember Russia handling the guerrilla warfare they encountered in Syria quite well. I also remember Assad is now comfortably back to ruling his own nation. A nation which happens to have uninvited Americans soldiers protecting the oil or some other CIA claim the fake news sells us.
This is not going to be prolonged. It is too close to home. Completely different circumstances. In this case, Putin wants to protect his border and keep NATO out. That was not the case in those areas you point to.
to be fair Afghanistan is ALSO close to home….it does border the old USSR and provided a direct invasion path to the ME in its western plains
Afghanistan is not really a viable invasion path to Russia. The terrain and lack of infrastructure in Afghanistan are entirely different from Ukraine. The population ethnics, religion, culture, and history also don’t compare. Also, can’t see Afghanistan joining NATO…
….and yet that was their purpose in going in in 1980…..you carry your logistics with you….we did it in Iraq and the old USSR had the same capabilities
.
Why would they do that? The regions Russia wants are mostly ethnic Russians who prefer to be aligned with Russia than with Ukrainian-American corruptocrats.
.
Hmm, or pineapples with pineapple grenades? Like there’s this thing in common, but that doesn’t make them the same thing.
Narrative engineering posters are thick, but we were warned.
Also FJB
Says who exactly? Are you really that lost?
Got to get personal eh. What is your argument?
Two very different AOs.
Not comparable at all.
honey ..you know very little about VVP/RUSSIA… they learn… see afghanistan/Syria
Woman who knows nothing whatever about military strategy or facts on the ground “fact checks” those who do…typical Karen behavior…
She has been around for YEARS at Fox, she is an operative. At one point she had breast cancer, that is when she cut her hair. She has lost her mind, she was absolutely freaking out, major Karen moment.
She had stage 3 cancer in 2009- no reoccurrence. She purposely keeps her hair that short for sympathy IMO. Most who lose hair from chemo can’t wait to grow it back.
Pentagon “imbed”, is all you need to know, rhymes with CYA.
“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”
seems to be, pretty much, what this partc. fellow is, also, saying…
youtube(dot)com/watch?v=1vdiEABLFoo ;
Too late. Unfortunately for Putin, the Ukrainians are already engaged. Even after you set aside all the recycled and out of context pics and hoaxes, ie Snake Island, Ghost of Kiev, there is still plenty of legit evidence to support that Ukrainian resistance has been much stiffer and effective than anyone, especially Putin, ever contemplated.
.
Are you there?
.
Are you?
I have seen zero evidence from even the narrative engineers on all the state-run propaganda platforms. Resistance? Any airspace video from Ukrainian pilots? Dog fights? Planes being shot down? Any
“reporters” on the front line with the Ukrainians engaging in direct combat? Any “reporters” even with indirect fire (artillery batteries) engaging Russians?
I thought there was a 3 mile long Russian convoy sitting 40 klicks outside Kiev. That is a pretty big target.
During the American War for Independence especially in the early years many British Generals did not want to destroy the American colonist in battle because the General’s viewed them as misguided Englishmen who would happily rejoin their countrymen as loyal and productive subjects of the Crown.
If you get time, read Amazon.com: The Men Who Lost America: British Leadership, the American Revolution, and the Fate of the Empire (The Lewis Walpole Series in Eighteenth-Century Culture and History): 9780300209402: O’Shaughnessy, Andrew Jackson: Books.
Also, The British are Coming, is a good one. There are a lot of parallels to today. I would compare today’s woke vaxers to the Loyalist/Torries of the Revolutionary War era.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin
McGreggor was spot on and Jennifer Griffin is a damn liar. Yeah I’ll listen to the good Col thanks and not some butch stooge reporter. She thinks very highly of herself. The Rooster Gowdy had the colour revolution tie on, just like his boyfriend Lindsey. Oh wait, FOX has Marie Harf on. Can’t wait for her Pearls of wisdom. FOX is a sick joke.
It was late ( 11:30 pm ) lol and Marie Harf was already in her pajamas.
“I gotta go…”
Yep, the Colonel is speaking facts. Not propaganda. The Russians have not destroyed the infrastructure… they still have power, water, roads, etc… the only thing is that the airports and perhaps rail routes and main roads going West have been knocked out. And Kiev and the large cities will be (if are not already) fully encircled.
What I find interesting is NATO saying they’re sending weapons… How?
Through Poland…it is where SuperZ is now
This is going to escalate and if it does, all hell may break loose. The warmongers on the hill may finally get their wish. Putin is NOT going to be deterred. The die is cast. There is no retreating on his part. It will only mean more death and destruction in Ukraine.
He meant ” If the cities are encircled , how do the weapons get in ? “
They are NOT hermetically sealed. It is more difficult, but Not impossible.
Also as has been previously stated they are fighting Outside the cities, and that is easier to resupply.
What is SuperZk?
Superman Zelensky?
batman zelinsky…clown
I just read where Sweden is sending anti-tank weapons to Ukraine.
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ukraine-crisis-sweden-idUSKBN2KW0UM?utm_source=34553&utm_medium=partner
Sweden will send military aid to Ukraine, including anti-tank weapons, helmets and body armour, Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said on Sunday. “Sweden is now proposing direct support for Ukraine’s armed forces. It includes 135,000 field rations, 5,000 helmets, 5,000 body shields and 5,000 anti-tank weapons”
Sweden has military gear?
Leavemygunsalone: Sweden makes highly respected armamements, including the Grippen Fighter, the Karl Gustaf man-portabe anti-tank weapon and Oerlikon and Bofors naval guns.
S1 tank destroyer too….even if an unconventional design was proven to be effective at defense…they have since adopted the Leopard II as their main tank of choice
Had no clue.
Sweden has been an arms manufacturer for European Armies for hundreds of years. The Bofors Anti-Aircraft Gun widely used by Britain and the United in States in WW 2 is just one of those weapons!
Learn something new every day.
putin should grab that stuff and redistribute it to swedens internal jihadi forces
that’ll keep the sweedes busy
In WWII Sweeden sent “volunteers” to help Finland fight against the Russian invasion. I’m waiting for similar volunteer fighters to come to Ukraine’s aid. It’s just a matter of time, I think.
There are military veteran war junkies around the world that will be more than happy to go and be mercenaries, I guess these days they are called “contractors”.
Exactly. Contractors paid by CIA and western Intel agencies. But the news will say the Ukrainians.
Let us know when you’re going, Garrison.
he make take ms .linda/de selecto/crenshaw and another 400 warmongering wh*res……..
Send us a report from the front. Ok? Maybe your music videos will calm the savage beast from Moscow.
I am with you. I think this is all talk, and a little Google. I don’t see Sweeds and Fins lining up to head over to Ukraine to fight Russians. That is just ridiculous. What I do see, is us, the EU, and the idiot globalist Schwab creating a Russia/China/N. Korea/Iran coalition. Do they really think ‘they’ are going to run this new globalist dictatorship?
Wait until they cross the border, and are destroyed by planes, and helicopters.
.
That means someone is making money with a government contract.
.
ammo dump, and Kiev refinery gone.
Exactly! How? Ha. Glad someone brought this up. Oh, just gonna drive in — can’t fly in because Russia controls airspace — thousands of weapon systems. Oh, and going to truck in fighter jets too. Hahah. I can’t stop laughing at the outright absurdity of what is coming out of our propaganda machine. Show how little they even know. Scratch the surface on any of their “reporting” and you’ll find the most moronic and ludicrous proclamations. The breathless kind of “Karen” emotion on their “reporting” is also telling.
I expect the NATO weapons will arrive the day after Ukraine falls and will be returned.
SD: Watch ALL the anchors tonight. Everyone has a DIFFERENT expert saying essentially, Putin is rational, here is the plan as I see it and then two things happen
1) Jen G says ‘wait let me correct facts’ and then uses facts that the expert didn’t even talk about
2) The anchor (trey, then hilton…goes on and on) says “I was shocked what I just heard”
I surmise Tucker has emboldened some experts to join him on ‘war is not in our interests’
Tucker has Col. MacGregor on his show often.
Good grief. Jennifer looks like a rabid snake head attacking. Very interesting she started her career in Moscow and has covered the Pentagon for years.
And nothing like eating your guest for dinner, that was quite something, pretty embarrassing actually. I truly despise The Media, they are all liars and dirtbags, or freaks.
The only bigger crime Macgregor could have committed on Faux would have been to mention the overwhelming evidence of the stolen election.
It is almost Monday, February 28, 2022, and Trump STILL won.
why did never trumper trey invite DM on??
DM said the same stuff essentially last week on Tucker Carlson.
he knew what he thought but pretended to be aghast.
jenny is a head trip.
.
So that these two experienced military strategists could “correct” him in real time?
.
Methinks Tucker will try to arrange an on air debate with MacGregor and the “middle aged call girl known as Jennifer Griffin” tomorrow night. I am sure the good Colonel is game, but I doubt the Fox brass will let that skank anywhere near that kind of beat down!
I’ll stick with my gut to find out what is going on.
Whatever hollywood, the libs and the dems say is happening it will be the opposite…………
Real Clear Politics has picked up on Macgregor’s comments.

MacGregor: U.S. Should “Stop Shipping Weapons And Stop Encouraging Ukrainians To Die In A Hopeless Endeavor”

Doesn’t RT sign MacGregor paychecks?
Stupid comment.
Is it USELESS to Defend Your Home?? Or does he just insist that because the odds are against them, that Ukrainian people should live on their knees?
Apparently she is good friends with the esteemed (/s) General Milley who should always be remembered for giving the Taliban a gift of some of the best military equipment American taxpayers ever paid for.
Russian Failure Theater brought to you by MDM-MSM Narrative Engineers for a Biden Nobel Peace Prize.
It’s Jennifer Griffen’s “job to control exactly what people think”.
Crystal Clear?
Shades of Mika
I remember my jaw dropping when I heard her say that. The MSM is slipping by the hour at this point. They all are in panic mode.
They can’t get their propaganda stories straight.
Trolls are out there and media have been biting the bait using old pictures and falling for fake stories.
Even CNN admitted to using social media for coverage.
They are actually throwing sand in their own propaganda machine.
The one thing we can all agree on—
We don’t know What to believe !
MacGregor….I am more inclined to believe/agree with him.
We shall see.
President Trump: “The media is the enemy of the people.”
100%
Totally evil, too.
Oh, and suddenly everyone is saying Putin isn’t in his right mind, and is different? If I was Putin I would call Jennifer’s BS on national TV and say “at least I am not Biden, I still have a mind”
started by senate intel marco.
Lil’ Marco was apparently the one that texted Hannity to tell him the Russians invaded. Politicians and media, nothing but bedfellows, the so called Conservative media is every bit as bad at the Left media. It just grosses me out whenever I think of Hannity being part of the inner circle.
.
That would be Little Marco. Who didn’t have the brains to get into a decent college, finally was admitted to UFlorida after hanging out in Gainesville until he finished Santa Fe County Community College (so UF had to take him as a transfer student), used his motormouth to become active in student government, went back to Miami to go to UM law school and work as a gopher for Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Jeb Bush (following which I’ve never been able to identify actual legal work he ever did), and then used contacts to get boosted into the Florida legislature. His life-long work skills involve: yakking, lobbying, politicking.
Not to mention he is another one w/an odd lisp, spittle, whatever you want to call it. Something Sundance mentioned and now I notice it in lots of them.
Rubio must hanging out or getting major donations from the Russian oligarchs Putin managed to throw out of Russia that have their fancy boats in Florida.
He’s been fighting them for years !
I would think they would be happy to have Putin gone and they would have chance to go back to Russia .
I did hear that about Rubio.
they all expect he will fold …as our RINOS …

sunnydaze: Must be on direct orders from Sparkle Socks Trudope.
Well Done Colonel!! Lol. He won’t be fox anytime again soon But I think he’s absolutely right. Griffin…..she just loves her job!!
Ok, but just remember RT signs MacGregor’s paychecks. He might be right. He might be kind of right. He might be wrong.
He`s 100% right.
MacGregor stating that the people of Ukraine should just surrender is NOT correct. If the people wish to fight & die for their homes, then I am for giving them the means to defend themselves.
Ahhh Yea, and then the Chechen came to play.
For those of us who have experienced hostile fire and been hit, it’s a different movie, boys and girls.
I read on Yahoo a little while ago the Chechens were gearing up. That is actually quite scary if true.

s of forces on border.7 FAKE NEWS stories coming out of Ukraine
https://off-guardian.org/2022/02/27/7-fake-news-stories-coming-out-of-ukraine/
More faux news B.S. Whenever a guest differs from the narrative, the host quickly resorts to “thanks, but we’re out of time”
Faux hasn’t changed since I watched them 10 years ago.
Jennifer Griffin out there proclaiming that the pentagon runs this country….AND THEIR WORD IS FINAL
Holy Poo-Poo
“Monster Thread | Looming Crisis for Global Stock Markets…”
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/monster-thread-looming-crisis-for-global-stock-markets/
So I got my comment deleted by pointing out that MacGregor could be right, but that we should look at him just as skeptically as Griffin. He has been on RT for years. RT is run by the government.
So maybe we have a little bit of that going on here. Control the narrative.
I don’t pretend to know the truth, but I also know everyone has an angle. Welcome to war.
Where is “here?,” exactly?
If by “here” you mean CTH, you are feeling pretty silly right about now, yes? smh
Should you be referring to another place, apologies, and pls explain tyvm
You know nothing obviously. Everything Macgregor has stated is in agreement with what I see from on the ground sources in Ukraine, both in the East and West sides. He is absolutely accurate when it comes to the bunkers/cellars as well. Most of them are also in the subway which is far below ground, built like a bomb shelter.
I`m getting first hand reports everything is on outskirts of cities. He is right.
Your previous comment was not deleted. I can still see it.
It’s there, I just read it.
By the way, your comment above this one is still there. Just FYI.
A much better explanation of Col Macgregor’s positions is with the Great Lou Dobbs from two days ago. The Colonel speaks quite well for himself and needs no interpreter.
“BIDEN WH AND EUROPE COWER AS RUSSIA INVADES UKRAINE”
https://theloudobbsshow.libsyn.com/biden-wh-and-europe-cower-as-russia-invades-ukraine
The Great Lou Dobbs is still the best-sourced Fox anchor, on-air or “retired,” imo, and still runs rings around all those other Fox dilettantes.
imo
Griffin? Well…..there you are…if you can’t say something nice…..
Jennifer Griffin swallowed the deep state kool aide years ago!! She is a fake news dod mouthpiece!!
I see that back stabbing anti Trumpers morgan ortageus and dan crenshaw had their failed Monday morning quarterback armchair unwanted opinions to put out there!!
I see that day late and a dollarvshort howdy dowdy gowdy had his 2 cents to weigh in on as well!!
I watched the segment with Trey “The Rooster” Gowdy. It damned sure got my attention when COL MacGregor spoke the truth. I could tell The Rooster was in shock and disbelief when he asked him to clarify his remarks and the Colonel was a tad miffed at having to repeat his earlier remarks. He said what I’ve been saying: Russia is behaving no differently than we did during the Cuban missile crisis and the same way we are now with China in Venezuela. He is only interested in the two separatist regions. Nothing else.
Trey was pathetic, he is such gouche bag. I like it when the Col made reference to that Putin has only been saying he is going to do this for 15 years, and now he has done it, so ya know color me shocked…paraphrasing. His sigh due the Rooster Head being a jerk was killer.
And suppose MacGregor is right. If the Russian army begins deliberately vaporizing Ukrainian civilians en masse, how is that going to play? Is Putin now backed into a corner where that is his only next move? Either mass slaughter civilians, or go home? And the Biden crew egged the Ukrainians on to get them to this point. Playing a high stakes game with the new czar of Russia and using Ukrainians as sacrificial pawns.
He is right for the most part, but his target will not be the Ukrainians.
And we know the CIA has done that for decades. So, why not now?
The Russians won’t vaporize Ukrainian citizens en masse. Think like Patton. He talked about sticking a crowbar into a wall and moving it around.
I suspect that is what the Russians are going to do to the Ukrainian defenses. The Ukrainians will be forced to react and the citizens will get the message. The Russians will watch/propagandize the defensive reactions.
The cities are surrounded and (unfortunately) nobody is coming to save them.
The sanctions bite will hit hard at first. I doubt it will have legs. If Putin works slowly (as in a siege of the cities) I think Germany will break rank. The resulting internal EU discussions will be very demoralizing to the Ukrainians.
Biden will eat ice cream and everyone will blame him for this mess.
I am not sure what to believe, but I do agree with Col. MacGregor about the eastern provinces of Ukraine, which are populated with ethnic Russians. This population would probably not mind being part of Russia. KYIV, the capital, and the western part of Ukraine could remain Ukraine and perhaps this is the discussion Putin and Zelenskyy will have tomorrow.
Gowdy is ignorant and could not understand that point but it is an obvious one to me. These talking heads really should study the subject before they question someone who knows their history and geography.
My mother is from Germany, an ethnic German who grew up in an area that had been given to Poland after WWI with the treaty of Versaille. Those 12 million Germans who suddenly lived in Poland were German farmers and landowners for 200 years in that area and were not upset when Hitler invaded the area in 1939 to return it to German control. And no, I am not defending Hitler or Putin, nor do I defend the expansion Hitler’s army took when WWII broke out. But, can’t we learn from history?
Europe is full of old arguments about land and the people who live there see it all. MacGregors says give eastern Ukraine which is ethnic Russian back to Russia.
It actually makes sense and will avoid another war, if Putin and Zelenskyy negotiate here.
Europe lost two generations of young men in WWI followed by WWII and so did we here in America.
When it was over, everyone had to sit down and talk anyway.
Indeed. That part of the world has had shifting borders for a very long time. It’s complex.
I don’t trust any Germans till this day.
Sam, the more I learn about our current government the less I trust them as well.
MacGregor is correct in his statement that many will die in this fight if it is not resolved and it is a fight that the U.S. Intel instigated.
Our government does not care how many die , they are creating chaos.

Well, according to Mexico Texas and California is still theirs. Just saying. It is always about land or a woman.
Hmm… The Philippines and Cuba are still Spanish…
That scoundrel, Hearst, used his yellow journalism to stir trouble.
The Media has always stirred trouble, I’ll bet.
Imagine… sometime in 34BC, the opinion scribes at the Roman Public Scroll were getting the Senate riled up over Julius…
Soros and the media, I bet Soros was there during Julius’s time.
MX claims large swaths of land in the WEST is still “theirs” for their La Raza Reconquista campaign…..this even though we defeated them by capturing their capital in 1848 in the Mexican-American War and then legally PAID them for their surrendered territory….there were only 25k persons of “Spanish descent” in the entire state of CA in 1846….there were less than that in TX in 1813 when the MEXICAN government started encouraging Americans to colonize it in order to tame and populate the region
Two of my great grand parents were from Galicia. The region was western Ukraine. It was Austria, Hungary, and more on pre 1918 maps. Glad they got out of there! Many Ukrainians in western Ukraine killed everyone. Germans, Russians, jews, Poles, etc.
LOL you equate US casualties with the decimation of the European populations…..250k losses compared to almost 40M for Europe in WWII alone…. because of our late state our WWI losses were only 100k while in the EAST and in the fields of Flanders the dead were so numerous they were left unburied for long periods…the cream of European youth was killed in those two conflicts and thay is the start of their great slide into obscurity
An interesting take on things.
I appreciated his reminder that Zelenskyy is a corrupt and sometimes violent leader. In my view, this situation there are no winners or heroes. Putin and Zelenskyy are both awful and there’s no need to make one a demon and the other a saint.
And I also have the impression that Russia can overpower Ukraine quite quickly if they chose to do so due to disproportionate military might. But who knows?
But I’m also skeptical when someone speaks with that level of confidence about future events and/or what a world leader is thinking, what they want, and what they’re going to do. But who knows? Perhaps MacGregor will turn out to be correct on some or all of his prognostications.
I believe him over a presstitute any day, especially one that is having a psychotic break down live on air.
It’s always good to be skeptical. It’s also very good to get a person on the air that knows war, geography, history and especially the history of and tactics of war. His view is common sense, but no one knows anyone’s heart or soul, and that goes for the leader of Russia and of Ukraine.
I pray that Putin and Zelenskyy can sit down and come to a reasonable resolution for their countries and tell the EU, the WEF and the USA to go pound sand.
You’re not going to believe this, but the government page on “Nuclear Explosion” has this advice on fallout:
Yes, because when the world is nuked we still have to make sure not to spread covid. This is clown world.
https://www.ready.gov/nuclear-explosion
As far as I can tell, that’s not a government website.
It is, it’s a .gov otherwise you cannot have that domain.
Thanks. Good to know. The site looked very different from a standard US government page, logos, etc, but apparently it’s some kind of program/off shoot of FEMA. I appreciate you replying and letting me know. I stand corrected. Thank you, Lara.
Lara: Different issue. The concern with nuclear fallout is radioactive dust, which is easily carried in the air, on clothing, on hair, on surfaces, etc. Unlike with Covid, the risks of radioactive fallout have been extensively studied, not only in controlled settings, but in real world conditions such as Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Chernobyl.
It’s not that, it’s the fact they’re saying to stay 6 feet apart during all this.
Russia has bunkers for their entire population!
I have not watched Faux in 15 years, but I thought Jennifer Griffin was pretty good years ago. Then had cancer, hece shaved head from chemo, and at some point went to NBC or another network. Now, sounds like she is back at Faux and is spouting the corporare BS line.
It seems Biden desperately needs many Ukrainians to perish, preferably on video, to demonstrate to us how bad Putin is.
Biden had a beef with a few wealthy Ukrainians….. he sees them as collateral damage. I know one personally… his businesses and assets were some of the first to be attacked.
Attacked by whom? Biden?
it may be time for a cia false flag killing of ukrainians to get the ball rolling
i would say they take out seleneksyy but he is photo genic not looking like a typical slavic brute (im half slavic)
It’s worth revisiting the Rolling Stone article by Michael Hastings (RIP), The Runaway General, that brought down Stanley McChrystal- Colonel MacGregor is quoted in that 2010 article, and it is fair to say that history is on his side.
“The entire COIN strategy is a fraud perpetuated on the American people,” says Douglas Macgregor, a retired colonel and leading critic of counterinsurgency who attended West Point with McChrystal. “The idea that we are going to spend a trillion dollars to reshape the culture of the Islamic world is utter nonsense.”
Perhaps Jennifer Griffin should read that quote and date of quote on air before “correcting” Col. MacGregor
Full article, published July 8th, 2010:

Excellent. Those that still have Twitter need to pound her w/that. And yes, RIP Michael Hastings.
THE CASE FOR PUTIN & RUSSIA
The USA used ISIS to attack Assad. We used Al Qaeda to attack Gaddafi. We use the Mujihadeen to attack Putin. Zelenskyy and America used Ukrainian Nazis to attack Putin. Now, we are upset that Putin takes action. Give me a break.
President Zelenskyy could have released the information that Biden was corrupt, but hedged his bets, and hung President Trump out to dry during impeachment. He got what he deserved – the corrupt and weak Joe Biden.
Third, Zelenskyy did not prepare for the attack. He should have sent dozens of saboteurs into Russia before the conflict, and he should have parked his military jets in a neighboring NATO country. He also did not disperse his munitions.
THE POLITICAL ANGLE –
If Ukraine wins it will be used as a magnificent political win for Biden. One can imagine a commercial where Obama says he picked Biden for his foreign policy acumen. The announcer will claim Braveheart Biden’s support for the undermanned Ukrainians pulled a victory from the jaws of defeat. He will be hailed as the man who took down Putin, and saved democracy for Ukraine. He will sail to victory in 2024.
Lastly, Putin will be much more dangerous if he loses. Be careful what you wish for.
——
Note: My heart is with the Ukrainians, but perhaps Putin winning is what is best for America. We’ll see.
This. Why is Ukraine so woefully unprepared? Maybe they should have spent the money on defence rather than on crack for Hunter.
those military aid dollars we sent weren’t REALLY for military aid silly willy….it was for corrupt methods and kickbacks to US politicians of both parties
Armies fighting over Chernobyl?
“You take it!”
“No! You take it!”
It’s not about true or false. It’s about the moot. What can be asserted because it can’t be disproven.
Exactly which war correspondent will enter the forbidden zone of Chernobyl to ascertain the truth? Ha!
Like global warming. The proof of global warming is only to be found at the north pole or on top of an Alaskan glacier, because no one is there to disprove you.
Or the facts surrounding Co-Vid. The new mutations like Omicron always appeared in far away places like South Africa. Never in South Jersey.
When you have a near-monopoly on reporting the facts (alleging the facts) like the modern Left, then the moot becomes your friend and plaything.
”the forbidden zone of Chernobyl’
There’s still an operating nuclear power plant there. Access is restricted to workers only.
4 of them in fact
she started it this morning. with WAPO buds ect.
“KURTZ: Well that sets up my next question, which is a Washington Post story yesterday calling you a linchpin of Fox’s news division. It’s headlined “Jennifer Griffin keeps fact-checking her Fox News colleagues on Ukraine.” Now, I read that as you don’t want to get drawn into opinion debates. How do you see your role during this war?
GRIFFIN: My role is no different than it’s been since I joined Fox in 1996 in Moscow. I cover the news. I’ve been part of the news division since those beginning days. I’m not here — I’m here to fact-check facts, because I report on facts. And my job is to try and figure out the truth, as best as I know it. I share those facts internally, so that our network can be more accurate. That’s what I’ve always done. There’s nothing different than what I’ve done for the last 26 years working for Fox.”
I found it interesting when she admitted to working in Moscow as her first gig. I didn’t know that. I don’t find it coincidence that she ended up at the Pentagon post her Moscow assignment.
And that she is a Harvard grad.
That’s the way I’ve kinda seen it , Infrastructure in tact . I’ve been ignoring major media because I don’t wanna hear the baffling bull bleep .
Looks like the market hit finally comes tomorrow 🤔
the griffin chick makes no sense. Czar’s Russian view? Is she smoking something?
Trey Gowdy grabbed his pearls, I thought he would pass out, in need smelling salts.
But Tulsi Gabbard also said in the link below, “Ukraine isn’t actually a democracy… President shut down the three TV stations that were openly criticizing him… imprisoned the head of the opposition political party… Ukraine did this all with support of the US.”
As Plato pointed out, “Democracy passes into despotism.”
Which is EXACTLY why US founders made sure we don’t have one, regardless of the drive & insistence of the Dimocrats that we do.
Hey Tulsi, note similarity b/t Ukraine Pres & Biden ??
https://rumble.com/vw04qj-ulsi-gabbard-offers-an-alternative-perspective-on-the-russiaukraine-conflic.html?mref=6zof&mrefc=2
Tulsi was groomed by the World Economic Forum.
She is really pulling the wool over the eyes of conservatives. It’s a strategy now , like Crenshaw.
LMAO, Gowdy grabbed his pearls.
I had hoped that Zelensky wasn’t such a corrupt bad guy. He handled himself pretty well with Trump, defended his phone call etc.
I assumed he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Our elections are every four years. No doubt Dems gave threats if he exposed any corruptions they were involved in.
So, I am disappointed that it turns out he may be connected to Soros, has killed journalists and political enemies, and may be corrupt, himself.
Gen MacGregor makes a solid analysis here in my view. He may not be 100% accurate, but what he says makes sense.
If the colonel’s stats are remotely true (Ukraine outdoes Russia on corruption), then what kind of person would one expect to rise to power in a mafia state?
Odds would be someone who is simultaneously charismatic for the camera and bare knuckled behind it.
This is sketchy….
Hell’s bells….
New World Order?
Nazi World Order
Damn, and she’s so dang cute! 🙁
Klaus Schwab`s WEF one world government.
I saw and heard that too!
She is fighting for New World Order?????
Is it a legit video?
As Sundance is known to say, she said the quiet part out loud. She’d better watch her back!
After raising nuclear alert, Putin spoke to Israeli PM Naftali Bennett on Sunday, who offered to mediate in Ukraine – Is Putin looking for a way out of Ukraine war, or doubling down?
