Trying to provide alternate perspectives on the status of the conflict in Ukraine, Aaron Mate of the Grayzone asks Col Douglas Macgregor his take on the dominate narrative in the US that militarily this is a disaster for Russia. Colonel Macgregor outlines that western media has a specific narrative diminishing reality and filled with wishful thinking. Max Blumenthal follows up with a question on the military situation.
Col Macgregor’s take is the entire Russian Operation is focused on the Military Destruction of the Ukrainian Army. The Russian Army is largely successful in this goal, but it is going slow, because of the Russian intent to maintain critical infrastructure. The Azov Battalion’s operations Mariupol also comes up as point of discussion as one of the dynamics of the conflict. WATCH:

Military Aviation Expert on Why a No Fly Zone Would Solve Putin’s Problem
15 Mar 2022
It’s obvious you didn’t watch the video. It mentions none of that. It’s a confirmed fact based MILITARY analysis.
When going up against huge, Soviet equipped forces utilizing Soviet military strategy like Iraq and it’s most impressive anti-aircraft network ever created, we obliterated their conventional forces in short order including their very best, the Republican Guard, with the combat loss of only 39 fixed-wing aircraft and 5 helicopters during the entire Desert Storm action.
We have always heard the excuse that this was because they weren’t Russians.
The Russians’ MISERABLE performance in Ukraine (and NO, if you’d watched the first video you’d know they aren’t “going easy” on the Ukrainian military) shows that this wasn’t the case and that we, in a conventional cold war battle in Europe most likely would have absolutely annihilated the Russian forces just as we did the Iraqi ones.
But that wouldn’t be the truth that our military industrial complex would want us to hear, would it?
Which is why you didn’t and won’t…
Agree. Russia is not a top shelf ground force. Poor logistics and combined arms coordination are poor.
Eventually they will win but at considerable loss. The wild card is nuclear ballistic missiles, Zircons and China in the background. I am not in favor of this war. JMO
I find Ward Carroll more credible than Col. MacGregor here.
We have two videos of retired military men who present opposite views.
Douglas Macgregor is a retired Army Colonel(O6)., equivalent to a Navy Captain. He was General Wesley Clark’s chief advisor in Kosovo. He led a 42-armored-vehicle squadron in Iraq (1991 Gulf War). His unit disabled 70 enemy armored vehicles, while suffering NO casualties. He was deemed a top battlefield leader, whose book Transformation Under Fire was selected as required reading for senior officers of the Israeli Defense Force. He would have become a general, but was critical of Army leadership, and ruffled too many “brass” feathers.
He was awarded 15 medals, including the prestigious Defense Superior Service Medal, the Bronze Star (with Valor), and Canada’s French Meritorious Service Medal, and he earned a Ranger Tab. PDJT nominated Macgregor as Ambassador to Germany (Senate rejected) and was made Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense in the last year of Trump’s presidency. He earned a B.S. from West Point (engineering) and a PhD in International Relations from the University of Virginia.
Ward Carroll is a retired Navy Commander, a rank equivalent to an Army, Air Force or Marine Lieutenant Colonel (O5). He was a Navy F-14 Radar Intercept Officer (think of Anthony Edwards “Goose” sitting behind Tom Cruise “Maverick”). F-14 RIOs did not command fighter squadrons–they weren’t even their own planes’ commanders. (The F-14 rear seat lacked flying controls, so the RIO was not a copilot. If the pilot was incapacitated, the RIO had to bail out or go down with the plane.) Ward is director of marketing and outreach for the U.S. Naval Institute, a private organization founded by retired naval officers in 1873 on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Academy. Mr. Carroll earned his BS at the Academy. He is an accomplished novelist.
Notably, both retired officers have had books published by the Naval Institute, Mr. Macgregor’s being non-fiction military histories/battle analyses only.
I think that’s the first time SD ever made a post that included Mate in a video.
He didn’t say much.
live been recd. Mate for a while.
For a progressive, he has a lot of realism to his world view.
He’s definitely not an idiot or stereotype.
Mate has been all over Muh Russia from the beginning.
Two points.
1. A few years ago, esteemed historian Victor Davis Hanson said Russia lost 20 tanks in a day or two, and that was an unsustainable rate.
2. No discussion in this outtake that if Ukraine pledged to be neutral, there could be a cease fire and peace.
Col. Macgregor is a breath of fresh air. I would guess that he isn’t the only retired military men, even active military men who share his wise opinions. His emphasis that it is the donors that are shoving the Biden administration into manipulating the Ukraine government to keep this conflict going makes so much sense to me considering what we have all observed in the USA for the last 20 or more years.
Col. MacGregor, and you, are spot on. Thanks so much for providing this background. I will read his book.
Looks like the cabal thought Putin was going to wag the dog for them, and was just holding out for money. When their Covid suffered it’s untimely death and their war wasn’t immediately in full swing to clog the news cycles, the sense that something was off was palpable. The looks on their faces when Putin flipped the script and started taking out their assets, was priceless.
The plea from GS himself, and his call to take out both Putin and Xi tells me that they thought China was squarely under their thumb, as well. China, like many others were doing what they had to out of self-preservation. Sacrificing their people, history, culture, and borders to be slaves to the New World Order, was always something I could never see happening.
Putin is wiping out the globalists that have been operating out of Ukraine, and when he delivers the country back to the Ukranian people, I don’t imagine there will be anything left of the Nazi’s, to just take it back over again. Putin knows all too well how evil they are, and the evil they do.
I foresee a growth market in rope makers and lamppost manufacturers.
The Cabal’s own extreme arrogance and hubris combined with their need to grandstand and tell us what they planned to do to us in their Great Reset was their own undoing.
The biggest bomb is right under the feet of Soros, Schwab and their followers in the G7, they’re terrified of Trump and his return and conditions are ripe for the collapse of the globalist machine in the US and G7 and the EU in general.
Of course they’ll fight on to the very end, they cannot imagine a world which isn’t under their control and cannot accept defeat in any form.
I’m not joking about plenty of rope when people find out what the Cabal truly has been up to, I certainly wouldn’t want to be a mainstream journalist during this time.
Non political, no nonsense analysis of the conflict.
Excellent discussion with Catherine Austin Fitts and Karel van Wolferen regarding the Russian Ukrainian situation

Their weird thing is that I just watched this interview early this morning. At least the entire segment with the Col. in it. It was a really good interview and very eye opening. I saw Newsmax post a video on their YouTube page about a Drama theater being bombed and the usual narrative was in the title. However, when I clicked it was gone. Perhaps intrepid users flooded the comments section reminding them that the theater was actually staging ground from where the Azov degenerates were holding civilians hostage.
