Col Douglas Macgregor appears for an interview with Dave Smith on his “Part Of The Problem” podcast. Col Macgregor gives his status update on the Ukraine and Russian military along with some excellent background information on the U.S. cultural issues which are driving the U.S. position.
Additionally, Macgregor overlays the economic battle both domestically and geopolitically with the currency war and talks about economic repercussions for the U.S., NATO countries, Ukraine and Russia. As noted by Macgregor when the Biden administration turned favorably toward Iran the Saudis immediately realized it was in their best interest to withdraw strategic support for the U.S.
It’s a good interview that goes into much more depth than the average media appearance, and permits discussion of multiple facets of the conflict in/around Ukraine. The video is prompted to begin at 17:34 when the Ukraine discussion begins. WATCH:

I believe this short video clip sums up Putin’s attitude toward our blatantly corrupt government.
What should our attitude be toward Putin’s blatantly corrupt government?
We demand you stay in your lane but agree to stay in ours as well.
And ours does not include Ukraine, as yours does not include Mexico.
(Who knows, one day soon the US may need to do a policing action in Canada and/or Mexico as well, as both represent threats to our security, one via Klaus Schwab style liberalism, the other via uncontrolled illegal immigration coming from that failed narco-state.)
^This^ x1,000,000!
The USA is a failed state. When elections are rigged, the founding documents blatantly disregarded, every three letter agency weaponized against the citizens they are sworn to protect the rights of… it doesn’t get more failed than that.
yes, of course. I meant if we’re able to right our own ship, then we may have to take on nearby enemies who threaten our new-found and presumably hard-won stability. Of course we have yet to do any of that.
And btw, I believe that’s exactly how Russia feels, following decades of collapse and diminution, political and financial, after it officially collapsed in 1991. Of course, it was in collapse (as we now are) for several years before the official end.
“The USA is a failed state”.
Revealing word choices.
Verb tense ” is”?
“A state” rather than Republic?
Members of the Globalist Death Cult DO view America as one state governed from DC ie ” a state rather than 50 sovereign states.
Additionally the Globalist psychopaths DO intend to destroy America so it becomes “a failed state” whose citizens are incapable of resisting the NWOs humanity despising schemes.
Fortunately, what Globalists believe is true =/= what is true. They are profoundly disconnected from reality.
Fortunately, what Globalist want to happen =/= what will happen.
Fortunately President Trump and many other powerful leaders and their citizens actively oppose these smug NWO schemers.
Unfortunately, NWO media psyops still attack hearts and minds 24/7. Why? To dupe naives gullibles and damaged vulnerables into believing NWO delusions/media manufactured illusions are real.

Thank God Toto Trump refuses to stop barking.
Thank God more and more people realize DC is our Emerald City.
What, versus Kiev’s corrupt govt or Washington’s corrupt govt?
There’s plenty of corruption to go around, with Russia having the MOST corrupt — and brutal — government among the major countries of the world.
Have you heard of the other Biden control country called China?
You are making blanket statements, but are you able to support that allegation with verifiable facts about Russian corruption versus the plethora of facts on the record about corruption in the U.S. federal government along with every American state and city governed by Democrats)? The information about corruption here is legion.
Turn off msm. Get educated.
Some great advice would be to remove the mote from our eye before we try to remove a speck from another’s eye. What say you?
Russia has the most corrupt and brutal government on earth. Our corruption, though alarming, is nowhere near that which exists in Russia … yet.
Do they employ child slave labor? Did they weld their citizens into apartments during ‘scamdemic 19’? No. China did. China persecutes religious minorities and uses them for organ harvesting. Russia doesn’t do that.
China’s total surveillance police state with total control of its slaves is the role model. Not Russia.
I guess you have already forgotten about Jan. 6th. here, and all of the people stormed by swat forces in the middle of the night, and all of the people arrested for not wearing a mask, or playing in a park, or shopping without a mask or a ‘jab’…. yes, I guess you have kept your blinders on for years.
Statements like yours need to be sourced. I would be interested to know who or what decides the definition of “corruption,” and the level of that corruption.
In short, who decided Russia is the most corrupt, and on what bases?
In the interest of self-preservation your attitude toward Putin’s corrupt government should be I’m glad they’re halfway around the world.
Did you not just listen to the video with Colonel McGregor explaining the situation have you not seen what’s going on in this country?
You might consider looking up the definition of the word propaganda, better yet do an actual word study on the meaning, origin, uses and effects.
Washington DC and capitals of various States throughout this nation are far far more corrupt than Russia you just choose not to see it it doesn’t agree with your ideology, your worldview as it were.
You can’t legislate morality and you can’t fix stupid, anyone who doesn’t have a foundational understanding of the word of God is going to walk in darkness. It’s’s been that way for thousands of years and doesn’t matter if you believe it or not.
Repent the best you can study to show yourself approved pray to our heavenly Father through our lord Jesus that his judgment will come down upon the wicked and corrupt governments of the world. Maranatha
The west has become morally bankrupt. Disney is openly bragging about grooming children. Biden admin wants to force sexualization of children in our schools. I can hardly stomach living in this country. When people start going hungry and SHTF some people are going to pay.
Paedophilia and beastiality will be normalized in the next decade, if these monsters succeed.
I have been puzzling over the fact that there seems to be decent, moral folks that tend to side with the Democrats point of view. I would think they should have a foundational understanding of the Word of God, since they have sat under the Gospel for years and claim to be believers. For some reason, they and I experience very different realities when it comes to my understanding of the Word of God versus their personal bias on many things. I consider myself open to instruction but I cannot accept their worldview. I wish there were a way to end the freak show and reinstall Donald Trump to office.
and that corruption was brought to you by a now proven to be corrupted media, never forget that!
our ‘attitude’ towards Vlad matters less than our actions in correcting the corruption in OUR government. Obama, Brennan, and friends, overthrew the government in Ukraine in 2014. obama’s ‘national security’ (sic) staff, working for the usurper Biden, precipitated this war in December.
Biden was a drooling wrecking ball used by Obama and the Davos crew, his time is ending.
what is extremely suspicious is the current squeeze play to replace Biden. RINOs touting the Hunter laptop, Justice Dems saying he is not prog enough.
who can be trusted to fill, or at least manage in the vacuum?
Good guys have been batting zero at that. Pence? Barr? Miley?
Traitors galore from RINO land and the ranks of our uniformed ‘leaders’.
https://nexttobagend.blogspot.com/2022/03/a-sundays-exchange-of-views.html
Lol, they overthrew this government in 2020! Look at the 2014 Maidan orange revolution in the documentary Ukraine on Fire and tell me what happened in our cities in 2020 was not a replay. Same fist symbols, Molotov cocktails, pallets of bricks, etc.
It all stops when we stop being so fearful. Fear and panic lead to poor decisions. They feed off it.
When BLM/ Antifa marched in our area it was a joke. A few from the DARPA school
of terror, but mostly it was snowflakes from local universities.
They often camped outside the Trump rallies but we ignored them. When they marched into our downtown and saw all the residents and merchants lined up to greet them, they kept right on going.
Great post. You forgot the no between with and ethics, but we all know what you meant. I can feel your anger.
What should Putin’s attitude be towards Biden’s blatantly corrupt government, a government that creates food and gas shortages against his own people, allows millions of criminals to flood across our open borders with drugs and child rapists, and forced people to take an experimental shot with over 1900 known side effects including death and more boosters to come. What kind of regime brings death, misery, and crime to their own people?
I’m more concerned about the corruption in the US and Ukraine governments at this time. They are the ones trying to unleash bio-weapons on the world, and succeeding.
Flip that around… what should be Putin’s attitude towards OUR blatantly corrupt government?
Same way we react to all the other corrupt govts we deal with: ignore it unless it harms our people. Let’s worry about our problems here at home instead of butting into what’s going on 10000 miles away in Eastern Europe.
People in glass houses should not be throwing bricks.
Joe’s Bidet and his handlers live in a glass house.
Putin is throwing bricks into Bidet’s house.
Colonel MacGregor has long advocated for securing our borders which is my opinion and has been my opinion since Pat Buchanan’s first run in 1992 was one of his main campaign platforms, was to secure our border, repeal the discriminatory 1965 Immigration Act, and reduce legal immigration to 300,000 per year of skilled and qualified immigrants.
The question we Americans need to address, before it is answered for us, is: Does this First World nation wish to become a Third World country? Because that is our destiny if we do not build a sea wall against the waves of immigration rolling over our shores…Who speaks for the Euro-Americans, who founded the USA?…Is it not time to take back America?
Pat Buchanan
As a Brit born in 1957 my formative years were full of admiration for America and its achievements. My Asian companies started doing business with our US counterparts in the 1990s and my earlier illusions were shattered. The arrogance and hubris, based on very shaky ground, led to us dropping the USA as a customer and we focused solely on our Asian partners, a strategy that paid off handsomely.
Yeah-see, the thing is, is you’re a Brit and while we saved your asses four times in the 20th century, we never really liked having to do it because, well, you’re Brits. Remember, you were our enemy? Hmm?
Only 4 times? Hubris? Arrogance? sarc
What were those 4 times?
Let me guess #1 is WW2 LOL where you came in late as usual, your corporate globalists supplied and supported the Hitler regime right up to the very end LOL and you have an education system that portrays the US as “saving the world” yet again.
Sane American historians discuss facts that the USSR brought about 70% of the destruction of the third reich.
So what were the other 3?
Please do not say WW1.
The facts are that the US has worked against Britain at every opportunity.
A weaker Britain benefits the US and that has always been US policy.
Nothing wrong in that, all countries are the same, but this thing about “saving us” is a joke.
Everything the US does is for the US and nobody else.
“You can always rely on the Americans to do the right thing, after they have tried everything else”.
Winston Churchill.
Selective memory is an unhealthy trait – and a marker for the deceptive or uneducated.
You have no idea, clearly, of what unfolded in the Pacific theatre during WWII.
No, everything the US politicians/military, medical, pharmaceutical industrial complex does is for their financial benefit. The US citizen is just a cow to be milked for every dime they can squeeze out of us.
Noone cares what you think of the US.
@Amjean, it’s a TROLL, look at the name “Thai Sleeze”.
Speak for yourself, Americans proving yet again how emotionally immature they are and just cannot take any criticism at all.
Grow up, he was making a valid point about his business experience.
What are you upset about?
The wanker tossed off some emotional observations – with zero details. The historical context is much more complicated than the one you are vomiting.
Tik Tok.
Only magnifies his point.
You have perhaps unknowingly stated a big part of the problem, no-one in power in the US cares about what the rest of the World thinks. Its all about what the US wants to do, sod the rest of us.
Unfortunately for all of us in the West, who are effectively your vassals and will be dragged down in the backwash, within the next decade but maybe much sooner, that is going to change dramatically and that will hurt, badly.
Arrant nonsense. Where does this puerile crap come from? Get spanked a lot as a child?
As though the rest of the world was populated by principled, moral governments; as though the Brits didn’t practice their form of vicious colonialism for a century or two (to include profiting from slavery); as though Asian wars haven’t visited some of the most atrocious, immoral crimes against humanity imaginable (Nanjing anyone? Maoist revolution?); as though the Asian governments haven’t abused their own populations; as though rigid class structures often based on racism aren’t suffused throughout.
Ever lived in Asia? I have. Many admirable qualities all wrapped in bloody history.
Pack sand.
another’s sins don’t justify your sins!
“Anothers sins don’t justify yours”.
No justification needed. I’m a unique individual. I am NOT a nation. No one is.
Collectivist borgs are a Death Cult fiction.
“Sins”????
Does opiner imagine they’re a geopolitical piety policing pharisee?
I would’ve said Pound Sand, but that’s just me….. 🙂
So what does the rest of the world want to do? As you know from reading here, none of us have agreed with the actions of our government for a long time. However, your governments are just as bad even if you don’t project power as much. Macron? Trudeau? Morrison? Arden? Austria? Germany? I fail to see anything inspiring coming out of any western or eastern country.
Sadly so many Americans prefer to be ignorant of our nation’s shortcomings and mistakes. They would rather history be taught only as America always being the good guy and coming out on top because it means you can more easily ignore the problems and wrongdoings that occur around you daily. Just keep talking about the military kicking ass overseas and MUH FREEDOM 24/7 and ignore the corruption and injustice around you.
this, from a Brit whose “royalty” just completed a colonial tour with “arrogance and hubris”
love the term hussy, simple search will show you just how much. NSFW. We live in really weird times. Lot’s of pretending going on.
Give my regards to General Boonsrang Niumpradit.
The 90s is when the Clinton Nafta, Cafta, Shafta gutting of America was in full swing. I agree that there were/are definitely some arrogant a-holes here (every country has them) in business due to the dotcom boom/bubble. Well, take solace in knowing many of those arrogant a-holes lost everything.
Three prominent Americans fought against both the Democrats and Republicans who were pushing for NAFTA.
Perot, Nadler and Trump.
On his death bed Perot wrote a check to Trumps campaign.
Good…glad you dropped the USA as a customer…glad it paid off “handsomely” as you say.
My advice is to FO and stay in Asia where you belong…”sleezy” SOB…
He’s not wrong about the arrogance and hubris. You’re in fact, proving it.
Please God. Help us remove every single illegal immigrant from our country. We need you to help us take our country back.
Never gonna happen. More illegals reside in this country than at any time in our history.
I’m glad a lot of us don’t share your attitude.
But, you can understand his point, yes? It’s reality.
And, who is ‘us’? And what is ‘us’ doing about it? It sounds really good on paper (like vaccines to keep you healthy), but is it reality?
What are you doing about it?
As the Rats typically frame the scenario, rounding up every one of them is not feasible. However, nothing speaks as loudly as the money train not stopping at their station. We can wean them off ALL handouts, tax them if they send their kids to school– NO means testing. If you use ANY social services, you pay. English only in schools. Why did we ever have English as a second language? (said as a legal immigrant) NO voting. If you didn’t show up to your immigration hearing– which is most of them– Registries of Motor Vehicles should be notified and ALL licenses suspended. Make it very hard for them. Watch how fast they go home. Self deporting is the cheapest way to get rid of leaches. The few that stay signal that they want to be Americans.
I would add a couple other suggestions. End chain migration, end birthright citizenship, and fine businesses hiring illegals $10,000 per offence and make them pay the fine. Your suggestions as well as these will go a very long way toward self deportation.
Some states fine businesses that do NOT hire illegals. The DMV is packed with recent arrivals, and voting resignation is aggressively pushed there, as well.
presume you meant “registration”
All these ideas are great the only problem is we have no voice in our own government.
“We have no voice in our own government”.
That’s YOUR choice dear despair posting armchair.
Millions of Americans choose to speak and to act.
Doers do not view government as a separate entity or an entity requiring compliance.
So true! A purity test. Reconquista / leeches go home! Problem solved.
Also school vouchers are desperately needed. School choice or homeschool are the only valid options left.
I agree. That is the most sensible approach. Most are only here to take what they can. If UPS can track a billion packages a day I don’t see why your idea wouldn’t work. Wait, it’s “RACIST!”
There is no “us” anymore as far as what we actually want. US citizens never voted for a never ending stream of illegals. DC engineered it without our consent and keeps ramming it down our throats. As Sundance says, we have to take back our gov from the bottom up to state level and give our middle finger to fed gov.
On a logistic point it’s impossible to remove them all, but we can cut off all Social Benefits such as welfare and increase fines against Employers. With enough time and pressure they’ll return to their country of origin.
You will in time.
The problem of addressing illegal immigration has always been one of will and desire; our so called leaders want it this way.
Make e-verify MANDATORY, so that businesses lose their business licence for hiring illegals, they would stop hiring them, and MOST would go home if they couldn’t work.
Then, restrict food stamps and other ‘welfare’ programs to legal citisens, and that would deincentivise all but the criminals.
If you DON’T build it, they WON’T come.
Try keeping a facility running when third of your workforce is deported.
Automation is coming regardless. Doesn’t solve all problems – but it is coming. The irony is that in the longer term, illegals are going to be squeezed out by the same net that will make pariahs of much of the middle class and urban area poverty victims.
Exactly. I keep hearing how automation is going to eliminate more jobs, yet DC wants to flood the country with illiterates. The people who claim to want to save the planet on one hand tell us not to have children, and then advocate for flooding the country with Third Worlders and encourage them to breed like rats. The double standards are endless.
the illegals coming across the border are by and large being trafficked – in to organ harvesting, prostitution, pedophilia, harvesting of youth blood, illegal drug transport, cutting with fentanyl, manufacture of drugs — they are not working for legitimate employers and many had no idea of their fate.
illegals contributing in a meaningful way to our legitimate workforce is a MYTH.
Washington State is implementing free medical for all illegals paid for 100% by Washington tax payers.
This is why Biden regime keeps asking for endless trillions. Endless debt is the only way to keep this leftist ponzi scheme afloat. What happens when no one will buy the bonds to support the debt implosion?
First I’ve heard of this. Do you have a reference?
Look at how many refugees are leaving Ukraine. If the welfare checks and EBT cards go dry and people start starving here and hell breaks loose there will be a never ending stream of non-citizen parasites desperately heading south. Maybe a total Argentina collapse is what is needed to wake these sheeple up.
“Never gonna happen”.
Time traveller?
I’d be happy if a lot of the visa holders went home too
Should have made your plea BEFORE your diety made it happen!
Does this First World nation wish to become a Third World country? Because that is our destiny if we do not build a sea wall against the waves of immigration rolling over our shores
Great point, and not trying to be pessimistic; but, does the very real possibility exist that it’s too late? Good luck, at this stage? Impossible to go back to square one. Or even 4?
For a decade or 3 we’ve been saying “We can’t go another year with this invasion of illegals. We’ll collapse in numerous ways (financially, culturally etc etc)”
Yet, each year, more and more come in illegally. From all over the world (you should see it here, where I live. Holy Smokes). And each year ‘we’ say .. can’t go on! No more. And here we are again?
Even if we stopped it cold right now, we’ve lost that fight? We can’t get all 60 million of them out. Even Trump admits this: “tough, if not impossible, to get them out once in.”
Soooo maybe it’s just too late and let’s – somehow -plan around it?
Eyes, Cut off welfare for starters. You’d be surprised how many would high tail it out of here.
Yes.
2nd, start taxing their remittance 80% or more.
Many don’t realize the illegals come here, work hard yes, but then take the $’s out of our economy/country, and send it back to mommy/daddy/uncle/aunt/13 zillion cousins back in Mexico/Central-South America tax free.
One, of many, Hispanic workers told me he sends a good 50-60% of his income – back to his MASSIVE family in Mexico. This is destroying us financially. Insanity.
Stop this sh*t / remittance crap, immediately. But, nothing but a pipe dream. Won’t happen. Apathy is what I’ve been met by, with everyone I’ve pointed this out to for a decade+. Here at least.
Hence, I’ve about damn near given up on the massive illegal problem which is almost at the top of the list of what is destroying our country. This cannot continue, but it will. Few really care enough to do anything about it.
Lest we forget, the folks running the show – especially these days – are mediocre at best and dependably incompetent. Illegal immigration becomes a lot less attractive when inflation is rampant, the dollar is devalued to near worthless status, only the least attractive jobs in society are available to those with few skills, wealth inequities become so pronounced (and we’re getting real close on that one) that social violence ensues from both ends of the political spectrum.
“Many don’t realize the illegals come here, work hard yes, but then take the $’s out of our economy/country, and send it back to mommy/daddy/uncle/aunt/13 zillion cousins back in Mexico/Central-South America tax free.” is what happened in the old days of “illegal immigration” We are now in the days of INVASION by illegals and criminals and human trafficking’s.
This is the single most important item I vote on. Ending illegal immigrants wanting to come here and stay. Between what our Government sends to foreign countries and spends on illegals in the form of social service programs (cash, food, medical & housing), educating their children, paying for their incarceration and the other things I failed to mention. The citizens of this country gets penny’s of their own tax dollars spent on American citizens footing the bill.
I keep saying our country is being held together with duct tape and bailing wire while our gov sends billions to places most Americans can’t find on a map. Just imagine if all that wasted money on ME, Ukraine, and other places was spent to make our country a better place.
Yes, maybe one of us can write up a manifesto to get rid of illegals with all the good ideas I’ve seen here today and have Sundance post it and let everyone weigh in. I can’t think of a more important topic. Immigration should be at the top of our list if we are to save this country.
Too late. The marauders are voting and becoming a supermajority. It’s OVER. we are all just spitting in the wind now.
“Its OVER”. We are dOoMeD. ReSiStAnCe iS fUtiLe. 😂😂😂
Armchairs who post despair summoning word spells inspire chuckles, pity and prayers.
It wouldn’t be profitable for companies paying slave wages to make up this difference. If they wanted to pay a living wage, they would simply hire Americans in the first place.
These greedy corporations absolutely require taxpayer subsidies to fund the healthcare, housing, education and food expenses of their slave laborers. This is all about a greedy Chamber of Commerce funding politicians who no longer depend on our votes.
Good luck fighting them. The only answer is to pry out every incumbent they installed and reinstate free and fair elections.
It wouldn’t hurt to hang those who circumvent our elections. Elections are a matter of national security.
The plan around it ? We are heading for a future that will look like the Middle East … great swaths of immense poverty with pockets of walled cities and walled residences to keep out the marauding hordes. And those hordes of desperate people will become a supermajority and vote for more “FREE” STUFF more, more, more … and America will be over in a generation. Done. Finished. Bankrupted.
Bankrupted? Already happened. Why do you suppose they’re actively trying to kill off all those boomers now?
They are replacing the boomer with groomers. Do you know the age of consent, if it is enforced, in most latin American countries is less than 14. Traditions die hard.
Maybe. It’s often missed that the demographics are not homogenous. As various segments establish generational succession and wealth aggregation their political objectives and cultural aspirations acquire an identity that is particular. What is shared across demographics is the (admittedly anecdotal observation) tendency of respective leadership classes to capitulate to the ruling class elites as the surest path to accruing wealth and a secure/semi-permanent rung on the power ladder.
It is also missed that those displaced will eventually coalesce into a political force with its own objectives and push back – see blue collar workers/middle class that underlay Trump’s strategy.
Funny how so few remember “Operation Wetback” in 1953. Many who were not caught and deported were under the pressure of being hunted and self deported. It worked reasonably well then and would work today if we had the will.
If We Only Had the Will:
We’d have free and fair elections
And no more imperfections
Our coffers would be filled..
We would live free and healthy
And we’d all be fairly wealthy
If we only had the willllll..
We never asked for any of this. DC does what DC wants and shoves it down our throats.
Look at most of our cities. People living in tents, garbage everywhere, human waste and drug needles all over the place. We are a Third World country. Our so-called leaders have no shame. They must hate our country and so pleased to see it turned into a pig pen. I would be embarrassed to bring someone here from Eastern Europe.
Tijuana used to be on the other side of the fence …
The agenda is public/private partnerships.
Government pays the rent, housing developers rake in the cash. It is a permanent funnel of government money.
Homeless and affordable housing is the market.
The homeless industrial complex. It’s real now, and almost none of the billions ever gets to the homeless.
Too bad our entire gov is comprised of mealy mouth traitors. The question is how much is enough for these greedy SOBs? Really, these multimillionaires and billionaires can’t be happy with what they have and just leave us alone. Most of us just want to live our lives and be left alone. No, they get their jollies using us, people who have very little material wealth as their experimental lab rats. They exist to make us miserable. They feed off human misery. They need human misery like we need food and water to survive. Their greed is causing all this misery. The world is not enough for these greedy assholes. They are now a threat to the survival of the human race.
You must not live near or visit major Dem controlled cities. We are already there.
I have no idea how or if we can pull this country out of this mess the self serving politicians have created. We cannot protest our way out, they have made that impossible, we cannot vote our way out, obviously. That only leaves one option and that window is rapidly closing. People like the good general here need to honor their oath of office and get their network together, and start leading the charge before it is too late.
Dear despair summoner, America is NOT one state. America is made up of 50 sovereign states.
“State: state, political organization of society, or the body politic, or, more narrowly, the institutions of government. The state is a form of human association distinguished from other social groups by its purpose, the establishment of order and security; its methods, the laws and their enforcement; its territory, the area of jurisdiction or geographic boundaries; and finally by its sovereignty. The state consists, most broadly, of the agreement of the individuals on the means whereby disputes are settled in the form of laws. In such countries as the United States, Australia, Nigeria, Mexico, and Brazil, the term state (or a cognate) also refers to political units that are not sovereign themselves but subject to the authority of the larger state, or federal union.”
The states are not sovereign in any sense. There is a limited(in text but not reality) position of supremacy of the federal government over the states. The 10 Amendment outlines the federal government’s powers over the localities and states’ government.
Yep, MacGregor said on Tucker, it was an Act of War. ( the invasion from Mexico ) I fell in love.
Let’s have zero immigration for the next 20 years.
100 years
I’d settle for 50.
Reduce it to zero for the next hundred years and kick out every single illegal alien America hating parasite and criminal. Reagan the “CONservative” hero gave millions amnesty and they promised on a stack of bibles they would secure the borders and enforce immigration laws. AND HERE WE ARE.
Ask an Apache about fighting out numbered
Book
“APACHE”
By Will Liveington Comfort
Life of Apache Chief Mangus Colorados
Wasn’t he Cochise’s brother-in-law? They were tough fighters. The Nez Perce’s military maneuvers and battles greatly outnumbered and fleeing from 4 or 5 different US army columns is quite remarkable. The O’Sulivan’s flight from Munster to Ulster having to fight through English & pro-english Irish is also of that caliber. Ty for the book recommendation
https://mxlwestproject.weebly.com/chief-joseph.html
In over three months, Joseph’s band of about 700, fewer than 200 of whom were warriors, fought 2,000 U.S. soldiers and Indian auxiliaries in four major battles and numerous skirmishes.
“the Indians throughout displayed a courage and skill that elicited universal praise… [they] fought with almost scientific skill, using advance and rear guards, skirmish lines, and field fortifications.”– General William Tecumseh Sherman, an unsympathetic person.
By the time Joseph formally surrendered on October 5, 1877, he got a nickname by American press as, “the Red Napoleon.” However, it is unlikely that he played as critical of a role in the Nez Perce military feat as his legend suggests. He was never considered war chief by his people, and even within the Wallowa band, it was Joseph’s younger brother, Olikut, who led the war while Joseph stood guard of the camp. In fact, it seems that Joseph was the one who opposed to the decision to flee to Montana and seek aid from the Crows. Other Chiefs, Looking Glass and some who had been killed before surrender were the true strategists of the campaign. Even so, Joseph’s reprinted speech has marked him as a military leader in America popular culture:
I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs were killed. Looking Glass is dead. Toohoolhoolzote is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say, “Yes” or “No.” He who led the young men [Olikut] is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are — perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.
dont forget, when we fought the British , the Indians for the most part fought with the British.
True, the Oneida’s and their wards the Tuscarora’s sided with us during the Revolutionary War and broke the powerful Iroquois Confederacy. To our shame, those allies were not treated so well after the war.
Wilderness War is a great book about that chapter of our history. Based in NY,Pa,and NJ area
Can’t really blame them.
The book “I Will Fight No More Forever” sat on my bookshelf for twenty years until I picked it up 5 years ago and read it. What an amazing story. Very readable. I highly recommend it.
Ty for your post.
Watch “Major Dundee” with Richard Harris and Charlton Heston. It’s great!
At least the Indians got to fight for their land!
From the very beginning Putin has placed an emphasis on a neutral Ukraine, void of any NATO influence. If that’s not understandable to everyone, especially those in governance, then before getting all pissy over Putin’s position it would be best to revisit our own history, actions, and justifications during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Wrong. Putin knows he has more to fear from China than he does from NATO. He already has NATO on his border. Putin wants to be the Czar and reclaim the Romanov’s lost treasure.
How do you know what he wants?
Putin might want to be a Tsar, but he is making himself a vassal of the Chinese.
“He’s making himself a vassal of China”. Another armchair guess.
I prefer President Trumps lets see what happens approach. Those who claim to already know obviously don’t.
Strange then that on the 4th February this year, when both leaders would have been aware of what was about to happen, that Russia and China signed what is probably the most important strategic agreement so far in the 21st Century.
But oddly almost no-one has heard about it. I wonder why.
Mind reading nonsense.
You’ve been watching CNN again.
That’s a ridiculous take.
why do you think this, Frank?
Are you just making up stuff and sticking to it?
Because the opposite seems to be happening.
China isn’t a threat to Russia. Russia and China recently issued a joint statement
decrying western empire strategies, and pledging unity in their struggle against it.
Putin wants to be the Tsar? I don’t know where you get that from.
You got the NATO border part right, that’s hard to miss on a map.
But geez, the rest of your thoughts could not be more obtuse.
I suggest you read something else, besides what you are currently.
Decreeing that someone else is “wrong” rather than offering an alternative armchair guess?
“Putin knows”. ” Putin wants”. Psychic?
Not one mention of BioLabs? Not one word about Children, or the other evil things going on in that part of the world? A continuation of the massive coverups of things that only exist in imaginations? So much for talking to the smart people.
Dude–if you aren’t a Russian, why on God’s (mostly) green earth would you ever believe anything coming out of Russia or China? Are so daft as to not understand that the commies in the US got here from Russia–“Red Diaper Doper Babies” and where funded by the KGB and the CCP in the ’30s. ’40s, ’50s, ’60s and ’70s? Huh? How do you not know that is how they gained control of our institutions?
“We will bury you from within”. And they are.
I think you confused the Russians and the Chinese
Yes, never believe those Russians and Chinese. Always get the true facts from the DOJ, FBI, DOD, CIA, CNN and our wonderful President Joe Biden..
More need to read what you’ve said there. And understand what is really happening and how we’re lied to daily. Right to your face, today, the FBLie claims not to know the wearabouts of Hunters laptop. Let that sink in.
Rudy had a copy of the hard drive from Hunters laptop, and pointed it out to them when they illegally searched his place; they wanted nothing to do with it.
thats what frank believe…..
Exactly, like I stated above, “these things are imaginary”. How did they do the interview and the questions never ask, nor did Sundance. Nothing to see here.
I was a small elementary school aged child during the “Cold War”/ ” Brink of Nuclear War” era. As I recall, Ukraine was an active part of the Soviet Union Communist that you refer too. The KGB also had Ukrainians among it’s ranks.
In 1959, Nikita Khrushchev Premier, of the USSR proclaimed “We will bury you”. Once again Ukraine, was a major part of the USSR in the Communist “we will bury you”.
Therefore, why on God’s (mostly) green earth would YOU ever believe anything coming out of Russia, China….and…wait for it….Ukraine?
How did communists who were enslaving Russia plan to “bury” America?
By INFILTRATION.
Communists/leftists are death dealing termites.
if YOU want to be truthful the RUSSIANS have been far more forthcoming with the US public than DC has been in years…..the question is “How many times do they have to lie to you before you finally start questioning their narrative?”
Yes- except now there are far more commies in the US than Russia.
I’m gonna start skipping past your posts, frank.
You either make little sense, or are totally wrong
each time you hit “post comment”
I will support your right to post gibberish,
but I won’t read it.
Goodbye, and good luck
Russia freed itself from its enslavement to the western import called communism 30 years ago. They’re still recovering from their 75 years of captivity.
Conversely, America and Europe are infested by communists and camoed nazis.
It’s far better to go into depth on the issues you have time for than to ‘mention’ every single concern without doing any of them justice.

I found this immensely interesting also

Thank you, Sundance. That is a phenomenal interview.
It’s an interview with an unabashed Putin apologist who conveniently ignores the fact that Putin has been effectively waging a slow motion war of aggression against Ukraine for over 20 years. He also ignores the fact that Putin has done this despite being treaty-bound to respect, uphold, and defend Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
I don’t currently care what is happening on Ukraine’s border and at the moment the United States shouldn’t either. I care about the United States border and the hoards of unknowns crossing it hourly. Read what the hell has been going on in Europe for the past 15 years from their border invasion. Rapes, acid attacks, terrorist attacks and their own damned government and media have been trying to cover it up for years. For crying out loud the United States will be a third world Country in 5 years. They don’t care what color your skin is, if your male or female, gay, or straight. The people running this Country want to destroy it.
Unfettered migration is a recipe for disaster, no question about it. Allowing brutal dictators like Putin to run roughshod over international law and specific treaty obligations is a recipe for disaster of a different sort. Neither should be condoned or tolerated.
And like NATO hasn’t moved one inch eastward, right? Soon as someone calls anyone a Putin apologist they lose all credibility. Go get a job at CNN.
An armchair dutifully parrots the NWO controlled medias squawking points while insisting he’s only squawking about “the fAcTs”.
Have a digital cracker, dear parrot.
Hilariously, the squawking points use Orwellian double speak. Replace Putin/Russia with Neocon/Globalists and the lies become true.

Nobody spends more on defense than we do and gets less for their money.
–Macgregor
Same thing could be said of Public Education and healthcare.
Seems like a pattern.
This is very misleading. Most countries don’t have to pay their soldiers. They simply conscript them. In the USA, more of the defense budget is spent on salaries, medical, and other personnel costs than anything else.
Russia is only using paid soldiers, not conscripts, in Ukraine. And when one of them dies in action, Russia pays for the funeral as well as all the debts of the family, and pays for all future education of the children.
“Most countries don’t have to pay their soldiers”.
Reaction? Using opiners opening words ” this is very misleading”.
Notice no sources are offered. Opiner assumes readers will just trust that an anonymous strangers unvettable stats are true? 😂😂😂
Oh we get a lot for our money, it’s just that sane people don’t want to buy what they’re selling
Thanks Sundance for highlighting another great interview of Col. MacGregor! I’m no fan of the current white house resident but my God I hope someone wakes up over there.
BS
What is BS?
what frank ie boy say ….
Sundance, An appeal. There is nobody in the gov pushing back against the insanity that is risking nuclear war, financial implosion, societal destruction, and mass death via cultural revolution, or other means.
There are a relative handful of people with platform, with understanding, with gravitas to have a collective voice. I count among you people like Cernivich, Martyr Made, Darren Beattie, Elon Musk, Rogan, Martin Kulldorf, and other respected people.
We need you to draft a proclamation outlining in particulars what is happening to our country, where is is certainly headed, and demanding that every single republican in congress immediately resign and get out of the way. Republicans are full participants in the madness and we need to shove them off the stage, ex-election.
The particulars are many and its time to stop playing the gaslight BS games we’ve tolerate the last 5 years. There are many issues that are beyond debate that are just no longer tolerable, when where we are headed is so obviously clear. Let me list a few:
– Fake russian collusion and fbi/doj/cia abuse;
– Fake Ukrainian impeachment to obfuscate major political corruption and likely an illegal bioweapons program likely involving the current US President
– The farce and destruction of the covid and failure to end the research, the vax insanity
– The election cheating
– The Jan 6 FBI/DOJ abuse
– The idiotic Ukr war incurring risk of a nuclear holocaust
– The WEF and Great Reset
– The schools, the grooming, the political indoctrination
It just goes on and on and on.
We need to formally, loudly, and jointly repudiate it all lock, stock, and barrel. This stuff is destroying this country and you guys comment on it, you document it, you study it.
It’s time with one voice to DENOUNCE and shove out the republicans and force America to make a choice about how to go forward. We need representation where this is currently none.
Please reach out. I think it’s imperative that a document and a demand and a campaign be ready well before the midterms. Time is short imo. We are not going to hold together until 2024 and Trump is not going to save us. He cant bc Republicans do not legitimately represent us. I think we’re at the end game right now.
Please give this request serious consideration.

Great interview. If you, like me, thought something was always very strange about the siege of Kiev, we may have an answer. Some military analysts are saying that the Russian move in the west and east of Kiev was a feint. The operation was for the purpose of pinning down a significant portion of the Ukraine Army. Now that the UA has lost nearly all of it’s capacity for transportation the operation is no longer needed and thus the Russian “Good faith Gesture” of withdrawal from the area.
One source said that now those troops will be pulled back toward Belarus and redeployed eventually toward the Eastern campaigns. This would make sense in regards to Col. MacGregor’s remarks. “Putin may just let Zelensky talk and then just take and remain in large parts of the East.”
It wasn’t much of a siege. Unlike Mariupol, the city is still mostly intact.
it is now almost clean up of nazi-azov…
A siege is not a direct attack. A siege is where a target is surrounded by a force who then dig in and hold their position, defensively. But they cut off the forces within the area under siege from all means of supply and re-supply. A siege force means to exhaust the target’s ability to survive under diminishing food, fuel, munitions, and water, and thus surrender to the siege force, or to weaken the target forces so they present little resistance upon an advance into the sieged area by the siege forces. Then the facilities within the area under siege may be taken with minimal or no damage.
Not all sieges have destruction as its goal.
Obviously Russians want Kiev to remain intact for many reasons.
Btw Kiev is the birthplace of Russian Orthodox Christianity and the Russian civilization. The nation of Ukraine was created 30 years ago.
That was a really good summary. The MSM story has been based on the old maxim ‘We judge others by our own standards until proved wrong’. The Russian military moved the way they have learnt from their experiences, not the US way. So got howls of derision for their troubles.
Again the MSM haven’t really pointed out that the Ukrainian military were not just another 3rd world force. They were the largest, best equipped, most trained, battle hardened, dug in and yet ready to roll in Europe. Russia was facing a big problem, it had to prevent it becoming a single unified fighting force. Hence the feints to Kiev and Odessa that kept nearly half of the UkA away from the real fight in the east, Donbas. The plan worked, not to perfection but well enough.
Over the past 4 weeks or so the Russians have destroyed the Ukrainian command and communications structures, eliminated its navy and most of its air force but as importantly removed the fuel and munitions storage facilities. The latter means that the Ukrainians no longer have the ability to move large formations around, no diesel!
So the next stage unfolds, the Russians no longer need their feint forces in place and can move them to where they are needed in the east where, unless they surrender, the bulk of the Ukrainian army, around 50,000, is being and will be destroyed. A horrendous and unnecessary loss of life for no gain.
It might have been ridiculed but this campaign will pass into military history as one of the great ones and will be taught in military colleges.
I never considered Odessa but it does make sense. We see these maps for the past weeks with steady Russian progress in the East but no movement in Odessa and Kiev. The Russians obviously never intended to take those areas.
Well Putin certainly fooled me. That is not a noteworthy accomplishment though. LOL.
Col. MacGregor is great. If you Google his videos you will find several on Ukraine.

@ggreenwald
The propaganda in the West about this war is like nothing seen since 2001, arguably even worse. The day before invading, Putin said the goal was to ensure the independence of two regions of Eastern Ukraine from Kyiv, along with Crimea, along with Ukrainian neutrality.
2/. Zelensky is already suggesting Ukraine would accept neutrality (with a security guarantee), and accepts it can’t reclaim those parts of Eastern Ukraine, let alone Crimea. Trying to depict that as some grave humiliating loss for Russia will work only with NBC, CNN & BBC viewers.

McGregor has some fine points but is acting a bit like a Putin apologists with some rather loose history of Ukraine and Crimea with no reference to the Ottoman’s or the 1850s Crimean War.
Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (UkSSR) was a founding member of the U.N. in 1945. They declared their independence in August 1991. Russia actually affirmed Ukraine’s borders during the Budapest Memorandum of 1994. Ukraine borders have included Crimea, Luhansk, and Donetsk regions for longer than Putin has been alive.
Imperialism is the motive for Putin’s naked aggression against Ukraine’s sovereignty
That Budapest Agreement also had the United States affirm Ukraine’s neutrality in return for Russia removing and destroying the Ukrainian nuclear weapons!
Russia violated that agreement not the United States.
The Budapest Memorandum is an agreement but it has no legal force. There is no legal obligation of military assistance to Ukraine. Notice point 3 of the memorandum: “Refrain from using economic pressure on Belarus, Kazakhstan or Ukraine to influence their politics.”
The US violated that point 3 a long time ago and many times since. In 2014 the US helped to overthrow the elected government of Ukraine. The use of economic pressure included the CIA funding and training the Azov Nazi militia, the funding of bio-labs, the US funding of politically motivated NGO’s present in Ukraine, giving money, loan guarantees, and weapons to Ukraine. These were done to put economic pressure on Ukraine to do what the US wanted. When Joe Biden told the leader of Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was investigating his son, Hunter, or else he would withdraw an offer of millions in loan guarantees, the prosecutor was fired. Joe Biden bragged about doing this.
Nyet ! It was Russia’s Putin who violated Point 3 in 2010 thru 2013 by coercing Ukraine President, Viktor Yanukovych, to unilaterally relinquish the Kerch Peninsula to the Russian Navy against the will of Ukraine citizens. That caused the civil unrest that led riots and the 2014 Revolution.
OMG. You’re starting to sound like a CNN apologist. No it was Victoria Nuland et al that supported and financed the Maidan revolution. Please do some homework.
Vlad Man Bad insists an armchair dutifully parroting media squawking points.
Have another digital cracker.😘
LOL. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
“Russia violated that agreement”.
Source: I’m an anonymous stranger but trust me?
Reaction: 😂😂😂 Absolutely not.
Crimea was a historical RUSSIAN Empire possession for HUNDREDS of years until the drunkard Kruschev gifted it to Ukraine….it wasn’t a problem until the USSR break up as they were a part of the SAME governing entity…1993 when the US, UK and Russia convinced Ukraine to give up her nuclear weapons not only was she ASSURED of defensive protection from them all but the agreement was made that she would not join either NATO or the EU….in fact, assurances were given to Russia that NATO would NOT move eastward….did not work out too well…you seem somewhat reasonable…as a major world power how would you feel if you primary enemy was in the process of creeping surrounding you limiting your defense and placing your population under risk……the WEST has SHOWN they are willing to go to war for “regime change” or to ENFORCE their idea of world order
The Ottoman’s owned Crimea since the 15th century and traded it to Russia in 1783. It changed hands several times throughout the 19th century ensnaring UK, France, Turks, and others into conflicts for its control and influence.
They didn’t trade Crimea, the Russians fought for it and the Turks surrendered it.
Kiev was the birthplace of Russian Orthodox Christianity and the Russian civilization.
Perhaps pray more for things beyond your control so you can focus on doing everything you can to help Save America. That is the #1 goal, right?
McGregor is a realist. Putin has no desire to rebuild USSR at all. There is no economic advantage at all and very much a rebellious action that will result in constant aggressions from the “liberated”. I truly believed he would have tried to control Odessa by now due to the cultural and significance of the oblast. I now think he will use it as a bargaining position. My fiends that remain their say life is not as threatened and they are going back to do some activities pre invasion.
Your knowledge of Ukraine seems to be a bit shallow. Early settlers included Scythians and Cimmerians. Later settlers included Greeks, Romans and Byzantinians. Slavic peoples became populationally dominant over time. The Kievan Rus established both Ukraine and western Russia. Interestingly the Kiev Rus leaders were warriors from Scandinavia. Jews from the Holy Land were attracted to it.
Then the land was captured by Mongol invaders. They founded a Khanate which their cousin Ottomans allowed to have semi-independence. Poland annexed most of Ukraine in the 16th century, but was forced to cede part of it to Russia due to Cossack insurgent warfare. Katherine the Great captured Crimea and created its port city Sevastopol in 1783. Parts of Eastern Ukraine have Russian-ethnic majorities. Under democratic principles, they should be allowed to choose with whom they want to align.
Why stop there? Go back another 1,000 or 2,000 years before that.
I’m not claiming to be an expert but Macgreagor was and his incomplete historical assertions were clearly to justify Putin’s actions little different than leftist today who wish to assert the United States still belongs to the Indians.
The fact remains that Russia is a signatory of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994 that clearly defined the borders of Ukraine which Putin ignored years before their 2014 Revolution. He IS the bad guy here.
There are no good guys. You support the NAZIs of Ukraine or you support the invading Russians. I refuse to do either. The US should have kept our noses clean, not let our indolent class grift in the East and offered to be neutral 3d parties for cease-fire and peace talks if needed.
Joetato has lost his sch!tt over NAZIkraine because of the laptop coming out proving his family involvement in biolabs and grift in NAZIkraine.
That Nudelman b!tch is Ukrainian, as is FatFart Vindman. Nudelman instigated the Maidan color revolution….and is again ‘self-serving’ in a government position.
Demonrats are filthy hoors and up to their ears involved in illegality in NAZIkraine.
Putin “is the bad guy”.
Speck of dust bad versus huge shard of glass bad.
Using his framing, Founders1791 is clearly trying to ” JUSTIFY (the psychopathic Neocons) ACTIONS”.
Motivations? Unknown .
Response? Pity, bemused chuckles and sincere prayers.
Stating tactical facts now makes one a Putin apologist. Good grief… “Putin apologist” is the leftist catch phrase du jour and it’s getting worn out fast.
“Putins nAkEd aGgReSsiOn”.😂😂😂
Founders1791 “has some fine points but is acting a bit like a (Neocon/NWO) apologist”.
“IMPERIALISM is (Putins) motive”. What’s next, dear psychic armchair? Calling Vlad a dog faced pony soldier? 😘

#ANALYSIS—#UKRAINE—#RUSSIA—27 Tweets
Most important statements of #Russia|n military campaign were made on the battlefield and will continue to be made there, not by the diplomats, like #Medinsky, or even hawks, like #Kadyrov. They will continue to be made by the military. 1/27
If we consider military realities of the conflict, from its outset, without distractions in form of political statements or personal wishes, the following emerges: #Russia entered into this conflict with—at the most optimistic count—a military grouping of no more than 190k. 2/27
This was considerably less than the combined armed forces of #Ukraine, which outnumbered the #RF forces by as much as 100k at the outset of the conflict. To date, as a result of the campaign, #Ukraine|ian forces outside of #Donbass have been reduced to an infantry force. 3/27
Gone is the vast bulk of #Ukraine’s armoured vehicle arsenal. As of March 27, 529 tanks and 1177 armoured vehicles (IFVs and APCs) had been destroyed. Gone are #UA’s airforce and navy. The personnel losses of UA forces are estimated at over 16k KIA and 14k WIA. 4/27
#Ukraine’s air defence apparatus has equally been turned to rubble. Over 160 command & communications/radar installations have been destroyed. Over 160 long range and over 40 short range air defence vehicles have been eliminated. #Russia|n airforce flies sorties unimpeded. 5/27
Cont…
#Ukraine continues to possess a sizeable MLRS and artillery force, which is protected by the human shield of the cities’ residential areas, where its elimination is problematic in view of #Russia’s announced (and strictly adhered to) policy of minimizing civilian casualties. 6/27
Severe shortage of operational armoured vehicles is indirectly indicated by #Zelensky’s appeal to #NATO countries to donate 1% of their tanks to #Ukraine’s war effort and visible in failed raids from #Nikolayev to #Kherson to shell civilians under guise of fighting #Russia. 7/27
There is not a single indication of significant armoured assaults or counterattacks and #Ukraine’s failed raids from #Nikolayev were characterized by the presence of unprotected MLRS and artillery units contrasted against glaring absence of adequate armoured vehicle support. 8/27
Overall, #Ukraine’s army has been almost completely immobilized—in the east, in #Donbass, due to fear and inability to abandon reinforced positions in the face of #Russia|n air dominance and surging offensives to the north and to the south, as the cauldron is closing shut. 9/27
In the south, due to the overwhelming success of #Russia|n offensive that pushed #Ukraine|ian resistance into interior, away from border with #Crimea. In the north, due to #RF forces threatening each of the major cities, blockading them, and shutting #Ukraine|ian forces in. 10/27
It is becoming clear that, from the beginning, two possible scenarios were foreseen by #Russia|n military command: The success of the initial surprise blitzkrieg and the drawn-out methodical elimination of the #Ukraine|ian military capabilities. Both scenarios materialized. 11/27
In the north, as stated earlier, #Russia|n forces flowed around major cities, effectively cutting off #Sumy, #Akhtyrka, & #Chernigov and shutting defending #Ukraine|ian forces in them. Near #Kiev, #Russia identified its presence and presented a real threat of encircling it. 12/27
Clear & present threat of complete encirclement and blockade of #Ukraine|ian capital was created with insufficient (according to military doctrine) forces to surround a city of 4 million, where, even now, over 2 million civilians remain. And yet, #Ukraine could do nothing. 13/27
Cont…
Near #Kharkov, once again, a group of units clearly insufficient to completely encircle the city, was able to take it into a horseshoe formation, bind and pin the defenders of the city, preventing any adventurism from them in terms of assisting the #Donbass #UA forces. 14/27
#Russia|n army flowed around #Kharkov, cutting it off from #Ukraine’s #Donbass group by taking #Izyum, and proceeded into a difficult offensive south, to cut off the #Slavyansk/#Kramatorsk group’s supply and communications with #UA’s interior and to complete the cauldron. 15/27
What succeeded in the south, in #Kherson and parts of #Zaporozhye regions was rapid blitzkrieg. What materialized in the north was the binding & pinning of #Ukraine’s army & creating constant threats that made it impossible for #UA to redirect forces to assist in #Donbass. 16/27
What is taking place in #Mariupol, #Maryinka, #Avdeevka, and south of #Izyum, as well as #Rubezhnoye/#Severodonetsk/#Lisichansk—and what took place earlier in #Volnovakha—is the methodical grinding down & elimination of #Ukraine’s best equipped and battle-hardened forces. 17/27
Completion of #Donbass cauldron is now near at hand, and fighting is becoming increasingly more fierce and brutal. Even originally #Russia|n forces were severely outnumbered in #Ukraine, and it has become clear now that a decision has been made to limit their numbers. 18/27
As indicated by the majority of military analysts covering the conflict, operations in the north & the south were part of 1st phase of the campaign intended to create operational freedom for #Russia|n forces to complete the #Donbass cauldron (after #Mariupol’s liberation) 19/27
With this task now closer to completion, and #UA resistance increasing exponentially as the cauldron is closing shut, 2nd phase of campaign no longer requires (nor can afford, in view of the lack of numerical advantage) such extensive operations in the north and the south. 20/27
Cont…
#Russia has created reinforced positions near #Kiev, #Chernigov, Sumy, and #Kharkov in the north, which can now be defended with fewer forces and still present clear and present danger pinning the defenders in these cities. The south (#Kherson) is even better defended. 21/27
#Mariupol’s liberation is close to completion. These forces, with invaluable experience fighting some of #Ukraine’s best in possibly most difficult conditions since #Stalingrad, will be freed up to focus on #Donbass cauldron where #Ukraine’s biggest group will be trapped. 22/27
Similarly, troops no longer necessary in the north & the south, where fewer units will be sufficient for maintaining the status quo during the 2nd phase of the operation, will be transferred to the #Donbass theatre. Finally, reserves have been built up in #RF for rotation. 23/27
The reserves in #RF (larger than all #Russia|n troops currently in #UA) have been remarked on by #Ukraine|ian & Western sources & are entirely counter to any idea that operation in #Ukraine is being limited, let alone coming to an end. Simply, 2nd phase is about to start. 24/27
#Russia was unwilling to commit overwhelming forces to operation in #Ukraine from the beginning. This is an exceedingly lean, and, its leanness, exceedingly successful operation. The 2nd phase will involve the elimination of the #Donbass cauldron of #Ukraine|ian forces. 25/27
The clear hope of #RF command is that success on this front will spell the final collapse of the #Ukraine|ian military machine, with cascades effects on the rest of UA defenders, just as the economy of the country continues to crumble from the overwhelming pressure on it. 26/27
In war, there is no guarantee, except one: Do not watch the ball of negotiations being passed back & forth, watch military operations on the ground. Even #Medinsky said today that de-escalation near #Kiev does not mean the termination of the operations. Quite the contrary. 27/27
What happens in the 3rd phase of the operation is really only up to the #Russia|n military and political command and to #Ukraine|ian regime’s resolve to continue fighting to the last Ukrainian. Let’s hope it does not come to that. But I see no chance of #Russia pulling back now.

Macgregor has been spot on, all the way along, and if I were Putin, I would not take Zalenski’s talk of negotiating a settlement seriously, either.
So, if your Putin, and you can’t take Zalenski seriously, detirmine you can’t get what you want thru negotiation, then sure you do just what MacGregor said.
Keep everything East of the river, which gives you everything you wanted, EXCEPT a neutral Ukraine.
At least that way you have 1/2 of (former) Ukraine as a ‘buffer’ AND the river as an impediment to land forces attempting to drive eastward.
Thanks for posting that Sundance.
I think Col. Macgregor is awesome. He should be joint chief instead of “I want to understand white rage” Milley.
We’d be a lot safer and sane.
The military and the country need Col Macgregor right now.
Col. Macgregor was coughing and looked to be a little ill. He’s not saying what the deep state war mongers want to hear or have anyone else hear! Pray for his safety. We live in perilous times.
President Trump brought Col. MacGregor in to assist his Secretary of Defense, Chris Miller.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff are TV generals who act as advisors yet have no actual military power despite their uniforms and medals.
Imo Col. MacGregor is best suited for an actual operational rather ceremonial military role. In other words, I agree with President Trump. Again.
For Russia, the Ukrainian War will be, at best, a Pyrrhic victory. The Russian military has vastly under-performed, exposing Russia as a paper tiger. Russia is an economically moribund kleptocratic tyranny served by an incompetent military. If not for its nuclear arsenal, Russia would be a global irrelevancy.
Luckily, they have the feckless, energy dependent EU, and the woke, progressive brain-damaged US as their adversaries. Sounds like an even match.
“If not for its nuclear arsenal, Russia would be a global irrelevancy.”

Ukrainian officials reported that Russian forces have been driven out of the towns of Trostyanets and Boromlya, just south of the city of Sumy.

What goes through their heads is frustration and fear.
This is the reason I’m more afraid than ever here in Kharkov: As it becomes clear the Ukraine army is collapsing, SBU and neo-Nazis thugs are kidnapping/torturing people worse than ever.
They are lashing out in desperation.

What goes through the head of someone who is slowly getting surrounded & running out of supplies & decides to fire at random civilian homes in Donetsk instead of fighting or running
(Video linked in tweet)…
Listen to the whole video. It’s eye opening, for those whose eyes aren’t opened yet.
Sundance, the map included above is very wrong north of Mariupol. Can I mention that the French MoD map of Ukraine seems to be, even if it is official from a NATO country, the most reflective of the reality on the ground and has been for a while now. Perhaps you might use it in the future?
How sad that people like Col. McGregor have all been drummed out of our military … nor do they get anywhere NEAR the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It will be the undoing of America that we have marginalized people like The Col.
How wonderful that IN REALITY President Trump personally brought Colonel MacGregor in to advise Chris Miller, Trumps Secretary of Defense. In other words Col. Mac Gregor was in the inner circle of President Trumps real military.
People on the Joint Chiefs of Staff are the TV generals Trump always mocks. They are easily ignored ceremonial advisors and photo op props.
Russia will want to head off the years long insurgent war the globalist blob wants to put on them. The blob will fund a war forever, to the last dead Ukrainian. I don’t hear the blob countries jumping up to publicly support Z yet, so Russia will ignore him for now and continue the operation.
I think that Ukie army to the east will ultimately be annihilated, if Russia gets to a third phase of this. It can only be spared with an agreement, whereby it walks home.
Biden Russia Ukrain and lib média are nothing but propaganda,
the gated communities and luxury apartments in DC need to be blockaded, shut-off, and shut-down.
COL McGregor KNOWS history. Why, do we keep repeating it? Because as uninformed Americans, some insist on being serfs (takers) and voting for liberals, both parties.
Make America Great Again is not just a wonderful slogan; it is exactly how we must live – other countries would do well to do the same, stay home, and stop invading us.
History doesn’t repeat itself, people do. Especially those that don’t read or understand history. Macgregor is refreshing.
Thanks for continuing to post MacGregor, SD. The coverage of all of this has been bogus since the beginning. Please read this: https://amgreatness.com/2022/03/14/the-architects-of-our-present-disaster/
I see plenty of comments of people here attacking each other about who has the more evil regime. The fact is all countries have at one time or another been ruled by very bad people. It is rarely about what is doing what is right for the world, and more about what is best for the rich oligarchs, who have been running all the wars, everywhere forever.
I think the question at this point is whether the goal of the oligarchs is to get most of the citizenry to turn on their own governments, to virtually hate them, which is happening. Looking at the USA, does anyone in their right mind think either party is doing right by the average citizen? How about in Canada, our neighbor to the North. Does anyone think or believe their government is putting Canadians first? Who actually owns your government, because it sure as hell isn’t the people.
If the goal is to get everyone to hate on their leaders, instead of simply standing up together as a nation, and throwing these traitorous, treasonous, lying, thieving losers out, could it be that the sick, twisted tickets running things with their global organizations like the WEF, UN, G7, etc. are planning on pushing forth one leader that can fool the world into believing he/she will save the world from all this garbage. It seems impossible, but look around you, who would have ever thought our own nation we sink this far into the abyss, on our watch, socially, economically, culturally, we are quite a disaster. I think it’s time to think on a biblical level because, I believe, that’s what the criminally insane psychopaths running the world are doing. Just saying.
“Imagine there’re no countries…” That’s their goal.
Unlike our propagandists in the media and our neocon politicians, Colonel Macgregors common sense logical analogy is very believable. Our congress has authorized 13.4 billion to essentially provoke a war while we should be looking for a peaceful solution. Our own borders are being controlled by the Mexican cartel while millions of people and deadly drugs flow in. Our country is indeed heading in the wrong direction.
I have no doubt we are being lied to regarding Ukraine. I do wish they could push out the invaders, though.
are you-bio polar ?? you can not have a both way ..honey
“I so wish they could push out the invaders”.
Hopefully Putin and Ukrainians will be able to push out all of the NWO/EU/Neocon psychopaths.
Listening to Macgregor cite history, strategy, tactics, policy and geopolitics (ie., FACTS) about the war in such a calm matter of fact manner is a very similar experience to listening to Dr Malone talk about the virus, vaccine and all related topics. Macgregor comes off as brilliant against the imbeciles of MSM, the Pentagon, State Department and, OF COURSE the White House and all of their lies and nonsense.
Sadly, like Malone, MacGregor is on the outside looking in at the Kabuki Theater that is running things here (into the ground). And that is the most sobering fact of all.
He was part of President Trumps Department of Defense inner circle of advisors. President Trump personally recruited him.
When President Trump returns to the WH, Col McGregor won’t be “on the outside looking in”. He’ll be back on the inside.
During this phase of our world war, both Col MacGregor and President Trump may be more effective because they are temporarily away from the DC Swamp.
Yes but……….. the idea that the 2014 election in Ukraine was as clean as the newly fallen snow is fantasy as well. The Russians used a lot of electoral arm twisting to get “their man” in office.
Source: despite being an anonymous steanger, trust me?
Response: 😂😂😂 Nope.
Arm twisting versus orchestrated coups to overthrow elected leaders in Ukraine and America. A speck of dust versus a poisoned shard of glass.
I’m sorry. I’d like to believe what this guy says but he’s always wrong. Nothing he predicts come true. Just the opposite. So he has no credibility.
“I’m sorry. I’d like to” understand what you’re saying but that’s not possible. Why? Using pronouns without first establishing the noun means the reader can only make guesses about what the person means.
Obviously, the anonymous poster “has no credibility” yet no sources or rationales are offered. Too bad.

Sounds like MacGregor would believe it was okay for the Italians and British to reestablish their empires when he justifies Putin’s actions based on history. What bullshit!!!
Lots of states/countries have borders that don’t reflect the nature of the people living there. Czechoslovakia comes to mind, Yugoslavia would be another. The middle East is full of those situations. The Ottoman Empire and Austro-Hungarian empire would be another. Sooner, or later, these multi-culti, multi-religious, multi-ethnic, multi-tribal, multi-lingual forced nations come undone.
Ukraine is one of those places. The Poles,Hungarians, Russians, Austro-Hungarians, even the Mogols have left their stamp on the place. What’s happening in Ukraine today wouldn’t be happening in a more heterogeneous country. So it’s not just Nato vs. Russia, it’s Ukraine vs. Ukraine.
So no, Italy shouldn’t get Ethiopia back, or Britain get India back. It’s not an apt comparison in my opinion. But Russia has a legit claim imo to where it’s fighting now. (Hitler used the same explanation for his earliest land grabs too–that he was restoring to Germany lands formerly owned by it and containing “German” people. He had a point. Too bad he thought the same of the rest of Europe.)
(btw, multi-culti Empires don’t survive. Warning to US, although perhaps the horses have already left the barn.)
Empires are, by definition, ALWAYS “multi culti”.
Some empires/civilizations have been long lasting and profoundly impactful. Pure ethno states? Not so much. Isolation helps. Alot.
What do you imagine “okay” means?
In the real world of geo politics that Col. McGregor is analyzing, okay has no relevance.
Very thought provoking discussion by Col Macgregor. At the end he says what’s really driving the group think in D.C. on Ukraine – $$$. The ‘donor class’ see fabulous profits in war, and the warmongers in government are their agents.
Imo the motivations are deeper than money. Theyre rooted in a pseudo religious generational pathology.
Aggreived Trotskite leftists aka neocon zealots obsessively dedicated to the destruction of Russia and Orthodox Christianity.
If that goal is achieved America will become their primary rather than secondary target.
Gonzalo Lira has a video on You Tube where he explores this pathology by highlighting Victoria Nulands bio and her involvement in this Ukrainian horror show.
Both of these guys need to watch the Fall of the Cabal documentary series. As the series clearly documents, the actions of the past decades attributed to “America” have been controlled by a Cabal/Deep State with an agenda that is centuries old. The Ukrainian fiasco is nothing more than their latest, close to a last gasp move.
Lol. Col MacGregor worked for the guy who inspired the guys who made the Fall of the Cabal documentary series ie President Trump.
They’re helping to wake normies up to just the basics of what Trump and his team have known and experienced for decades.
McGregor is a student of John Boyd. That’s part of why he is so brilliant–and dismissed by the establishment.
“To be or to do.” – Col. John Boyd, American Strategist
Just saw an article on MSN site that says the refugee count from Ukraine is now over 4 million.
Yeah, right.
I’m curious for reader thoughts on this: In my lifetime, the Elite (Corp and DC) used to care about what the public wanted/thought on issues. Recall Clinton was very poll driven. Most recently I am very concerned because they clearly do not care what the country thinks. I am concerned that this is not because they are in a bubble (as McGregor opines) but because they have control of our elections and as such no longer need to address public concerns. I suppose this theory will be tested Nov 2022 and 2024. I am preparing myself for the proof.
“They have control of our elections”.
This theory WAS tested in supposedly forever blue Virginia, during their 2021 elections.
Results? A Red Wave. Dominion btfo. The Clinton/DNC Machine btfo. Doomers btfo.
Changes made? Almost 100% of all poll watcher slots were filled rather than the usual less than 30%. Plus voters listened to President Trump and FLOODED the polls on election day.

MacGregor: “The unipolar moment is over”
I would go even further and say there NEVER WAS a unipolar world, that it was a delusion born out of hubris on the part of some American academics, IC bubble dwellers, and globalist corporatists who got WAY ahead of themselves.
MacGregor nails it: “This is the last gasp of the globalist elite.” He is not alone in this assessment. And once we no longer need to spend energy opposing the failed Globalist Fascists, perhaps we can spend our energy on a rebirth of pre-WW1 Western values, make a reasoned assessment of Russian Civilizational Fascism, formulate a Trump-like approach to it, and bid “good riddance” to the ideological frenzy of the 20th Century.
My God, Col. Doug Macgregor is the best and most informative interview on the Ukraine situation in this country. I find it amazing that people don’t want to hear the objective facts that he is putting forth; even calling him a traitor! But then again,
220 million American dullards lined up for the miracle jab based solely on Covid hysteria, fear, and hype.
This is absolutely NO different!
I like listening to Macgregor; he has gravitas. I might by his book, Margin of Victory. I have never been interested in war, I’m an old peacenik, but his explanations of strategy really interest me. So, he had some position in Trump’s administration? I hope Trump talked to him often. Two great strategists; one in economics one in war. Could be fascinating.
Yes, Macgregor has walked the walk. Note that he says he came into the Trump administration late in Trump’s term. He states that Trump was lied to and stabbed in the back by his own advisors. If reelected he will have to address this serious problem with horrible appointments.
Starting with Jeff Sessions, the swamp rats did everything to undermine Trump’s agenda. Unfortunately, that was Trump’s Achilles Heel.
I personally feel that the United States and the EU are going to suffer a severe economic downturn before that happens. We’ll see……
Wanted to add to my last comment and correct Col MacGregor that it’s the last gasp for the Atlanticists with Ukraine. Globalist elite are very comfortable with the CCP controlling Asia – thats why they kow-tow to Xi. Imagine Ukraine being amicably resoloved between Kyiv and Moscow. My gosh what would all the Atlanticists in D.C. and Brussels do with themselves? So many at State have fashioned a career based on a worthless Georgetown and Harvard degree, accompanied with silk scarves and a rotten attitude from a stay in Geneva. These useless duds would be lost. Blinken and Sullivan being two of the biggest duds.
So, Putin good, Z-man bad?
Yeah, I’m not buying that.
Putin probably better (in this instance particularly) and Zelensky worse.
Zelensky is a corrupt (Panama papers) autocrat taking orders from the US/Worldwide New World Order Left (WEF, UN, Soros types, US gov’t types, etc.) who made a deal with the devil (Ukrainian-style Nazis) to harrass Russia and attack Russian people living in Donbas–for years.
At best, they can both go to hell. A pox on both their houses. But this US/western hip adulation of all things Zelensky is sickening. He’s Hollywood’s guy. He’s the Dems guy. He’s the Republican’s guy. That’s probably all you need to know.
Both suck.
Z man is on the way out, though.
Putin doesn’t suck so much as he doesn’t play nice
with Neoliberal atlanticists.
Try it this way: Who would you rather have running the US?
