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:

MacGregor is always grounded in experience, facts and common sense. He is one of my favorites and I’m surprised Fox didn’t know it!! He’s never been one to change his analysis based on pop culture.
Col Macgregor was PDJT’s advisor and Putin didn’t invade Ukraine during PDJT’s presidency. One could reasonably infer his advice on Ukraine worked very well, either to address Putin’s concerns or to deter Russia from invading.
I’m really tired of obamas 3rd term and I want my country back
Wondering whether this map mirrors the map of the U.S. bioweapon labs in Ukraine?
I hope so.
Nope! Don’t be ridiculous. Putin first targeted the mass document shredders the globalists began running a couple weeks ago. Putin knows he will need to show justification for his actions and part of said evidence would be obtaining any available remaining evidence linking the Biden Crime family and rest of the corruptocrat classes Ukrainian money laundering apparatus.
I’m only partly joking. I’ll leave if it to you to determine which part. LOL
I think the whole biolabs thing is a questionable storyline. It’s more likely that Putin was targeting things like radars so that their military will have superiority in the air. The biolab thing, although the exist, seems very implausible.
It is pretty close to exactly. WINNING
Watching all this crap on twitter and media about grandmoms arresting Russian soldiers is a joke. This is almost over, Russia basically has Kyiv surrounded and in the east they almost have UKR 15 battalions encircled. If anybody looked at history, specifically the Chechen 2 war and how the Rs took Grozney, they encircle or surround cities and urban areas and basically cut them off till they surrender. This map was from yesterday

I had the sense not to comment on this to any family members. imo no one should, as it is lies and half truths in the media, no layman has enough info yet to make a prudent comment. Of course this didnt stop my boomer uncle from offering his fox news informed opinion.
God help us if the Ruskies do the “Grozny” on Kyiv and KarhKiv. It was sad and difficult to see an entire city degraded to detritus by relentless bombardment…talk about a wasteland after. The West agr experts at reacting to events. Has Putin done anything he said he would not? What about the corruption in the current state of Ukraine?
Ukraine women on fox states she’s fighting for the new world order? And no one bats an eye? WTH? 🤦♀️.
Thanks dogsmaw. Wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see with my own eyes. Smh
Give it another day or so. It’ll ignite…..
I caught that and nobody even blinked. What the hell is the new world order, a burger with fries and a milkshake? No, I suspect the Globalists have arrived in Ukraine just in time to resolve another war between two NATIONS! Down the path to serfdom we continue, mindless, lifeless, and afraid of being noticed by the Oligarchy.
I don’t think that most people realize that the NWO controls America and most of Europe. It has controlled Ukraine since 2014 with the Obama/Biden regime. America is on the wrong side of this war.
Yep! She said it!
“We are fighting for the New World Order.”
Klaus Schwabians unite!
the klaus s brigade…
Glad to see before she picked up her AK47 (no clue what it is).. That she put on her eye shadow, make-up, and comfy clothes.. Seriously, is this not like some freakin “B” movie you start watching and turn it off mid way??!!
Better hope the safety is on!
Looks like the mask has slipped. Let me go check to see if she’s carrying a real weapon this time and not the carboard cutouts. Just to be sure. lol
I don’t think her “new world order” is the same as Klaus Schwab’s “New World Order.”
Perspective is local, and for common Ukrainians, this “new world order” is one where they are not serfs of the Soviet Union.
OK. I’ll ask. Who is this person?
THEN: Big Pharma and GlobalCorporate media promoting and propagandizing Covid & The Vaccines. NOW: Military Industrial Complex and GlobalCorporate media promoting & propagandizing Putin-Biden & The Ukraine.
The entire personnel edifice of U.S. government bureaucracy is degenerate and perverse. The only interest FEDGOV employees have is self-interest. Everything they do should be eliminated. Every place they work should be stripped to the walls. Nothing they or their departments stand for is beneficial to the well-being of the United States or its citizens.
The gubmint’s job is to lie and distort the truth, just like that’s the job of the media.
Can’t really believe anything but your very own eyes anymore, and sometimes that’s even hard to do.
Their jobs are to keep us confused.
My ol’ pappy told me when I was a young man starting out, “Don’t believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.” It’s easy to say and hard to do. But that’s been the rule of thumb for a long, long time in this old world. The devil is abroad in the land and he knows his time is short.
Yeah…his time has been “short” for over 2000 years… hate to think of a ‘lengthy’ time to work his evil..
As a start……
We need to review this to understand.

Bogus propaganda
Didn’t listen to the Colonel, did you?
Why does this look like BOT WARS?? I used to LOVE that show!
You and me both.
Exactly what The Duran has been saying.
Russian Intelligence?
Does Putin know that so far most of ordinary US citizenry don’t want the US involved in the war with Ukraine?
If some do not like the way I used my bias in the phrasing of the question, I’ll try to ask more specifically:
Does Putin know what those in the US who say “FJB, LGB” and or who support MAGA and America 1st think about US involvement with Ukraine?
I would say yes, Putin absolutely knows.
He’s met with Biden and more than likely also knows Biden ain’t running s#^t.
And even he does not mention the US- and Soros-sponsored revolution of Ukraine in 2014 that led to the ouster of a legally elected president of said country.
Indeed, no one does…..
Why?
It’s interesting that ~500K Ukrainians have already fled and sought refugee status in Poland..
They’d like to become “members” of the EU alright.. The “bennies” are a whole lot better!
Just interesting – appears well researched, have’nt fact checked though:

How can a “reporter/anchor” correct what a Colonel says in an interview without his permission? How is that hubris possible? Unbelievable! She must be CIA like Anderson Cooper.
Anderson Cooper is CIA?
Doe that stand for C**k In A**?
Neve in my life did I imagine that I would be watching a CNN video, let alone posting it…
However, this video is with Gen Petraeus, one of the few men alive that actually invaded a country…
And he admits it…
Anyways,
I agree with the General we need to give Russia a way out. If we destabilize Russia too much it will not be good for our counterweight against China. Russia and China SAY they are friends, but for decades all 3 of us play each other off each other.
From the look of many comments around here, more than just Putin are in need of a way out.
This place has gone from MAGA to MRGA.
Time to reel it in. I would not want my wagon hitched to Putin.
We want out of the WEF/NWO neofeudalism servitude that our decrepit leaders have been planning for the Western masses for a long time now .
That’s fine.
But Putin isn’t going to save you.
So I have to ask…WHY on earth did you post that CNN video that just spews more of the propaganda? To what end?
Griffith is an apologist for the Deep State and besides, she wants to keep her gig.
Griffin manages to blame Trump at the end.
She related to Kathy Griffin?
So did that tactic work with the Taliban? Never underestimate gorilla warfare. Very hard to beat.
Trey Gowdy is a truly disgusting individual, a corrupted hack for the GOP establishment to his very core.
Gowdy never did anything while in Congress except grandstand for the media like Lindsey Graham. I guess him leaving was his most notable act.
All we have had is actors playing a part for a long time.
McGregor is either an idiot or a Russian tool. Putin has NEVER cared about civilian casualties, and if he did, he WOULD NOT HAVE INVADED A FREE COUNTRY.
Stop making this about the globalists. It is about UKRAINE.
Just because you may hate the globalists (rightly) does NOT justify siding with Putin who is an evil bloodthirsy bastard.
2 wrongs don’t make a right.
UKRAINE deserves to have their freedom from Russia, and they are fighting like hell for it. Stop playing into PUTIN’S PROPAGANDA.
You think Ukraine is a free country? In what sense?

Ukraine is as bad as Russia. Both sides are pushing their propaganda. The idiots in the media have made their bogeyman and folks like yourself have swallowed it hook, line, and sinker. Kind of like that silly “Ghost of Kiev” nonsense. Ukraine is getting creamed. I hate to admit, but they don’t stand a chance. Do people ever ask where all the money we send to Ukraine goes to?
What a bunch of uneducated morons… First, Russia already shares its border with five NATO members, including Poland (Kaliningrad or Koenigsberg), Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Norway, yes, Norway!
Second, it also shares a border with Finland, a EU member that did not join NATO because of its good relationship with and proximity to Russia.
Last, people who know nothing about geography and history shouldn’t really go on TV and embarrass themselves…
Again, our elites are unrefined, badly educated and mesmerized by decades of their own propaganda, which in the end, they accept as a reality…
MAY WE PLEASE INTRODUCE YOUR LAST STATEMENT INTO THE WEBSTER’S AS THE DEFINITION OF “ELITE”?
Good comment!
“… Again, our elites are unrefined, badly educated and mesmerized by decades of their own propaganda, which in the end, they accept as a reality…”
Best RINORAT summary ever!!!
Poland? So Belarus and Ukraine don’t exist? Russia does not share a border with Poland on my map. Some of Latvia and Estonia but Sweden sits between Russia and Norway. I am confused by your post…..
…as to your 2nd point —Finland is NOT a NATO member.

Holy shit Trey Gowdy is thick as a redwood.
Looks like he and Griffin get their hair done at the same stylist.
Good to see the good Colonel speak the truth. Watching coverage hear in the states has seemed like 100% propaganda the entire time. I have found coverage out of India who is neutral much less biased.
India coverage below
I watched India’s News over the weekend and they did do a great job! Was way better than the American propaganda Fake news!
My apologies if this has been mentioned by someone else, but there is something about this “conflict” that seems to be straight out of the Bill Murray movie “Stripes.”
I cannot believe for one second that the Ruskies are this incompetent.
The clip of the tank by the side of the road, out of fuel, where the passerby offers to “tow them back to Russia?”
Maybe Sundance is (once again) really onto something here.
I feel bad for the innocent civilians caught up in this.
right. the impression of incompetence SOLELY COMES FROM russian oppposition news.
the image below was based on simple logic. its been posted for 2 weeks at a minimum. it will hold. cause its normal.
hope this makes sense.
If Ukraine joins NATO, its to close to the border of Russia (no NATO ever allowed near Russia). so Russia takes in prorussian towns to re-create a buffer between NATO and Russia.
right of the line – New FREE towns.
left of line – US and EU State Department country run by Zelensky.
Joe Biden saved us from a Cold war with his Leadership against a fabricated narrative of Nukes being turned on by Putin – Vote for Team Uniparty this midterms. Pharm Animals are gooooooooooood.
A quick reading of Col McGregor’s credentials , training and education tells me that he is correct in his assessment of things when it comes to war and war making.
Never trust Jennifer Griffin, Bret Baer or any of the Faux News operation. They are leftists with a globalist agenda. Griffin has been hysterical about the Russian police action since it started. Faux also fails to mention Putin’s legitimate concerns about 15 US bio-labs on Ukrainian soil which jeopardize Russian safety and security. Nor does she mention that Putin has been negotiating for years with Ukraine in an effort to get Ukraine to stop smelling and militarily harassing its own Russian speaking provinces. Putin also wants to clean up Ukrainian corruption and that puts Biden, Pelosi, Schiff, Kerry and Durbin in the crosshairs!
Don’t forget Romney.

Well MacGregor was deputy commander in the largest armored battle since WWII (battle of 73 Easting). And “ingratiated” himself with the Pentagon by proposing a comprehensive re-org of conventional forces. He’s published more on strategy and tactics, including War College stints than just about any of the TV talking heads
Macgregor makes sense, but some of the more exotic hot-takes seen around here sure don’t.
Anyone here on this blog interested in make a little money on the side?

Wow I didn’t realize RT America had that many correspondents posting comments on this thread.
Are you one of the ones that prefer communist China?
Why would anyone prefer either?
Someone should ask Dr. Fauci if the Russian troops should be vaccinated and boosted before they invade.
LOL!
Drive-by shooting taken to next level…
PS Morale of the Ukrainians is very high. People on the ground say Saturday night was turning point…
Yes, the Russians are surely the most rational actors on the stage: https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/rick-moran/2022/02/27/russian-space-chief-threatens-to-crash-international-space-station-into-u-s-or-europe-n1562282
Pretty much most of what the MSM puts out is propaganda these days. I don’t believe anything anyone says anymore unless there are adequate amounts of evidence. Many of the photos of what’s been happening over there have already been shown to be photos that were taken in other places at other times, some as long ago as 2015.
Ask yourself why so many politicians have their kids positioned in Ukraine gas companies in token positions? Think Pelosi, Schumer, Kerry, Biden. Obviously, they are doing the laundry for their parents since they can’t be personally involved. Ukraine is a big criminal hole in the wall where the crooked government officials wash their ill-gotten gains. How do you think they become millionaires while working in government jobs? Why do you think they are asking for 6.4 billion in aid to Ukraine? It’s not for the defense of Ukraine, it’s money they can wash and put to use to further their criminal enterprise. Putin doesn’t want NATO weapons systems or NATO countries right on his border any more than we wanted missiles in Cuba, and he doesn’t want the criminal deep state operating there either. Can you imagine if Trump had gone into Ukraine when he was president to try to clean that place up? The MSM would have crucified him. All they can do now is say how bad Putin is because he is destroying their money machine and they can’t say it out loud.
This is real hurt!
More context:
Remember foks, Russia is a third world economy with nuclear weapons.
With the exception of it’s military industrial complex, all techonology is imported…
Unintended consequences…
Talk about being a day late and a Euro short.
That seems to take Biden and admin off the hook. “Look, it’s what THEY requested! Who are we to tell them that it’s not an idea that leads to stability of the region.”
Why hasn’t Putin cut off water and electricity to Kiev? Obviously trying to avoid harm to civilians. Gen. Keene on Fox a few days ago couldn’t understand it. “It’s what we would do.”
Tucker or Laura need to have the good colonel as a guest. They’ll let him talk without a manager in their earpiece. Sad to see Dan Bongino drinking the poison at fox. A big fat paycheck controls these news readers from reporting honestly. Like Neil Oliver, truth is gold. It’s harder to find. And don’t trust anything these major outlets say or write.
There is anther guy in Kiev, Gonzalo Lira, who also has a different take on it, as in……the Ukrainian army cannot beat the Russian army. The Russians control the skies – nobody is flying. The Russians want to “capture” Ukraine, not decimate it. The Russians are concentrating on military targets, not civilian targets and are not bombing everything (as we did in Iraq).
I also heard that the Russians opened the canal from the Dneiper(sp) River which supplies water to Crimea. It had been blocked for 7 years.
There are indeed two different narratives going on. My understanding is that Russia wants to denazify and demilitarise the Ukraine so they are not and will not be a military threat to Russia. I ask you, would we not do the same to any armaments installed in Mexico or Canada?
“Denazify” is the language of Biden and Trudeau. Putin is just as full of shit as they are. Sad that you buy into the rhetoric of tyrants.
finally, a military commander who is not completely full of shit. too bad we can’t say the same about Fox News.
I really believe that Putin did not want to take military action against Ukraine. All Ukraine had to do was declare that it would not become a member nation of NATO…..it never was a member. It seems it never saw the need. it’s obvious the russian people do not want war of any kind with anyone. The value of their money is going down the toilet!
The US needs to stop buying oil from Russia. The corrupt US government needs to stop being so authoritarian with this stupid green energy crap and this ridiculous climate change garbage…..open up the Keystone and get the hell off the contrived covid train…..
jennifer griffin is a libtard. I’m not sure why she’s even on as a guest as she knows nothing.
Something to keep in mind: Russia is a big country, but it’s mostly uninhabitable. Like Canada.
The little isolated piece above Poland is also Russia, which I don’t think most people realize exists. It’s a little island of Russia surrounded by EU/NATO member states. As Putin continues to try to gather a continuous empire made up of all of “historic” Russia under his rule, that little piece it going to be a problem.
Here’s how the Russian population stacks up to the US:
people should know that like a silly school girl, biden set up Ukraine for disaster by telling China that Ukraine was going to become a member of NATO knowing full well that China would tell Mr. Putin. I believe that happened in Dec 2021.
