Tucker Carlson sits down for a sobering discussion with Col Douglas Macgregor about the war in Ukraine and the current status of the conflict. {Direct Rumble Link}
As Carlson outlines the looming possibility that NATO is going to have to enter the war because the Ukraine military is slowing being degraded, Macgregor outlines the technical and strategic issues the U.S/NATO forces would have with a war in eastern Europe.
After outlining the strategic flaws and problems the U.S. would face in a direct confrontation with Russia, the discussion then shifts to ask the obvious question: What comes now? What are the goals and objectives for Russia, now? WATCH:
Incredible interview. Every Patriot should see this interview.
Watching video of Russian ISR strikes matches what the Col. stated about precision strikes. Even if the Ukraine army has the best weapons in the world, they aren’t trained to use them and just become easy targets.
As for the ability of the US military complex to arm and re-arm itself, we are in deep trouble. We buy so many components for our systems from . . . you got it . . . China. And the pipeline is very slow right now and has been since the COVID shutdown.
Additionally, the procurement and building of our weapons is just as dis-functional as the Federal Government. Bloated and unorganized. Anything but streamlined. What happened in Maui is what can happen in the rest of the US if attacked. No plan, no equipment. Just chaos.
44 ‘Generals’ running their troops in 44 different ways, silo fashion.
We have no cohesive ISR.
The ammo supply for the US Army is the worst it’s been since the Carter administration when we had to use .22 long rifle adapters to live fire train with our M16’s. Biden has stripped some active duty units of 80% of their wartime allotment of ammo and spare parts.
Hey, I trained with some of that .22 ammo!
That should terrify us, but most don’t even blink. The vast majority of our government has been bought and paid for by special interests. They are the ones truly in control, and that will destroy us if it isn’t stopped very soon.
You are exactly right.
Make that 44 generals running around in circles like chickens with their heads cut off!
How many of the 44 are men wearing dresses?
Or puppy/dog masks etc.
We should not be using any Chinese components in our DOD equipment. We are required to have traceability. Not defending what’s happening. I agree with a lot of what you are saying.
The US creates problems everywhere we intervene. It needs to stop.
Let’s remember that Trump was adamantly against intervention, and the only POTUS that was.
My mom always said – we won’t even be able to get the planes off the ground. They’ll be disabled. So we don’t need components from China.
We absolutely MUST bring our manufacturing ability back home. We can’t rely upon anyone in times of crisis but ourselves. Our real President, President Trump, has a huge job before him righting all the wrongs his ur super has made. So much of our existing government needs to be thrown out and replaced. However, the first step in the process is for the American People to wake up and support this coming battle. It appears that it has started to happen, but we have a very long way to go.
When “they” the ones who are supposed to represent us, passed NAFTA and CAFTA I said, NAFTA + CAFTA=SHAFTA. And I was 100% right. Then “they” helped China turn America into a rust belt and the hollow country of big box serfs we are today.
There are some something like a third of our submarines are out of commission due to lack of parts.
Check out the new map of Russia, it’s disinformation, in Russian.

44 four stars. MacGregor says there were only 7 in WWII. There are thousands of General officers in the military.
I’ve watched Col. MacGregor from the beginning. While Mainstream Media experts went from one lie to another, Col. MacGregor has been spot on.
You are exactly right. What America needs to do is swallow some humble pie and back out of this thing, settle for the terms Russia will demand, and get about the work of finding and freeing the women and children who’ve fallen into human trafficking.
THEN we need to take a long, hard look at a) What does our military industry look like regarding building up needed platforms and ammunition in a world where China is a possible enemy, and b) What did the Russians use and HOW did they use it, and do WE need to change our tactics AND our platforms.
What he said about the M1 Abrams needs careful consideration, and we need to stop using depleted uranium in our armor and anti-tank shells, they spew dangerous radiation on impact. Now consider these F-16s we’re sending to Ukraine have a massive open air intake INCHES above the ground, and they’ll have to operate from non-pristine runways. There may not BE any pristine runways in a future war with a technological peer.
Fighting medieval men in pajamas using burned out AK-47s was poor training for modern warfare…
I have thought for a long time that these retired colonels, lt colonels, majors, 1 star admirals, navy cpts we sometimes see on TV were men (mostly) purged during the Obama admin and replaced by political appointees. The only person punished for the Afghan debacle was the Col who criticized it.
Absolutely! No one talks about The Purge that Obama carried out in order to install his followers in leadership positions. I remember it quite well. It was evident what he was doing but the GOPe kept silent (as co-conspirators do).
I have a friend who ascended to Lt.Col in the USAF. He retired during this time as he saw the writing on the wall. He knew about the corruption of the armed services and quit rather than being complacent and obedient in order to advance.
We are in a post-constitutional nation. Everything in the three branches of government is lip service to the Constitution. The Fourth Branch that is in charge absolutely hates it. We stand on the cusp of civil war if people of all stripes do not wake up and make a change.
And slick Willy did a big purge also…you know, good cop/bad cop with George Bushie JR
Yes, the pos canned several thousand conservative officers if I recall.
I’ve heard McGregor was a President Trump confidant, but his anti-groupthink mentality hurt his advancement.
The White House Fired Me for My Loyalty
“After his election, I was promised a senior position in the NSC.
“I was shocked to find that resistance seemed to be the NSC’s mission.
“It was clear that the Trump presidency wouldn’t succeed unless the resistance was defeated.
“That meant Obama holdovers had to be replaced by people who would carry out the new president’s agenda.
“When Gen. McMaster found out…he declared: “There are no ‘holdovers.’ We are all on the same team.”
“Deputy national security adviser Ricky Waddell told me I was fired, and two Secret Service agents escorted me from the building.”

Mike Pence had a hand in eliminating the loyal Trump supporters.
Trump needs this guy
Truth
Trump wanted him as the Ambassador to Germany but Mitch McConnell said NO! So Trump made him an advisor to the Dept of Defense.
His anti groupthink hurt his advancement despite being a war hero and author of several incredibly important military books. But that was the woke military that held him back, not Trump. Trump trusted him.
Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller. Fined and given a letter of reprimand and his reputation sullied by the Marine Jag and Commanders. He had the courage to speak out. Few have had that kind of courage.
I sent this out in the AM, I am going to resend it out again. People need to see this. The good General knows the game. Now to get folks out of that 1000 yard stare and back in the game.

“Liz never backs down”
So … the Col. isn’t a fan of turbine engine driven tanks? Not to worry … I’m sure he’s gonna LOVE the electric tanks … run off VERY long extension cords … or just for 20 minute tank battles
I think you missed his point.
I think you missed mine
I hear a whoosh up above
If you can’t hear the bullet that kills you, you most certainly aren’t going to hear the rocket. Just sayin.
He talked about the problems of turbine engines in modern warfare. You apparently want to talk about the different topic of green fantasies. It diverts away from the fact we’re in in a bad spot right now. That problem wasn’t caused by goofy environmentalists but by our professional military establishment over many administrations.
Wrong. Electrifying our military is the “fussy turbine engined tank problems” on steroids. It’s the EXACT SAME PROBLEM … It is designing war implements that are impractical in the field. Because the military isn’t listening to their field soldiers … but the military Industrialists instead.
I’m reminded of why America ultimately WON the tank battle against Natzi Germany. Germans became obsessed with building massive, state of the art, yet troublesome, Tiger tanks. They were so difficult to manufacture that they only made 492 Tiger II tanks. America OTOH produced 50,000 Sherman tanks … because they were simple and effective medium weight tanks. We simply overwhelmed the Natzi’s with MORE tanks … that were far easier to manufacture and operate.
Soviet Union had same policy, with T-34 tanks that were slightly better than Shermans
Yep. We can’t even learn from ourselves … oops … my bad … Obama purged the military of all the combat experienced brass … so there’s nobody left with any perspective
T-34 had heavier armor than the Sherman’s and it was sloped armor. Plus, they had diesel engines. To say nothing of the gun on the Sherman was too small and too low a velocity. Later, the design of our tanks changed.
The gasoline powered Sherman Tank was infamously called “The Ronson” because it lite-up the very first time!
And the design of German tanks changed as well, to copy the T-34.
There could be an advantage in a diesel-electric hybrid drivetrain tank for some of the reasons Macgregor mentioned. Running for a short time on battery only would be quiet and have a very low heat signature, while a good diesel engine would cut fuel consumption in half compared to a gas turbine. The gas turbine has very high power for its weight and volume, but it burns a lot more fuel when it is running outside of its peak efficiency range. A good turbo-diesel would consume far less fuel when running at partial load.
Similar in battlefield operations as a diesel-electric submarine then. And considering the distance the tank vs. the sub needs to operate within, that idea makes some sense. Moreso than the beasts the US “government” fields into battle – can’t use the bridges anyway….too heavy.
When it was designed the heat signature of the turbine was not a concern because of the technology of the day. Now, that heat signature is like a big sign that says “shoot me” and you can’t get away from the current technology with the old design.
Agree. I was a turret/ track mechanic in the Army. Vietnam era. All tanks had spare firing pins and miscellaneous parts to field repair anything but engine replacement. Trouble shooting was my specialty. 1967 to 1869. Tough as nails.
Thank you. I am only surmising … but I come from a family of mechanics. I have spent many a weekend under a car. I have a rudimentary understanding of how engines work, and that reliability is something highly variable depending on engine design. And there’s not much more reliable than diesel … which CAN be shut off and re started so it’s heat doesn’t broadcast it’s location.
You’re repeating the same problem the U.S. Navy had with Battleships during World War II. One Russian made hypersonic missile with a small nuclear weapon on top, and we have no more tanks in Ukraine. To say nothing of bioweapons in Ukraine.
The point is made.
Yeah, and the Russians had thousands of those cheap tanks too.
Like the A10 Thunderbolt! The Warthog!
The Goofy ProgreSSive Environmentalists ARE the military trannie wokester Estab
Please watch it again. Col. Macgregor SPECIFICALLY cited diesel-electric power as the best suited for tanks, in his opinion. Thats the same kind of power used in almost all modern day railroad locomotives.
I can see pros & cons for both types of power plants in a battle tank.
There is a fairly decent discussion of this very topic in Reddit (a source I don’t recommend for politics):
Mechanics is Secondary to Personnel
WW III will be Over Quickly. Bribed Biden has his Orders from the ChiComs AND NWO Mother WEFers.
Not that fighting a WW is any solution. A CW may be necessary however.
We are already in a Civil War, though point taken.
Same technology would work better in cars and trucks. If we had a highly efficient cheap diesel generator that kept the electric motor running without relying on a battery you can reduce the charging stations because a small amount of fuel will allow the electric to run from the generator and stay ahead of battery drain.
Israel announced some type of small generator like that a while back.
That’s essentially another version of the tech used in hybrids. My 2005 (Generation II) Toyota Prius could completely charge the hybrid battery when coasting down a long enough hill. It charged the hybrid battery whenever braking or coasting with foot off the accelerator.
The trick to maximizing the vehicle’s range on a 10 gal tank was to drive gently and coast up to every stop as long as practical. My brother in law has been driving my old Prius since he acquired it from me in 2018. He lives in a much flatter area – the eastern seaboard of NC – than I do up in the rolling farmland of central MD. He has achieved an average mpg about 5 to 6 mpg higher than I ever did. I used to get between 46 and 48 mpg regularly, occasionally getting upwards of 51 mpg. He now gets 52+ mpg regularly, sometimes pushing 60 mpg.
However the hybrid tech that works in small lightweight vehicles does not achieve as stark a difference in heavy vehicles, where raw power is needed to overcome the heavy frictional forces as well as momentum.
The energy losses in a rubber-tired surface vehicle are great; I cannot imagine the additional forces that must be overcome in a treaded multi-ton battle tank operating in sand or other soft terrain.
Impractical when you can have wind turbines and solar panels that don’t rely on an extension chord.
The turbine powered Abrams was great in Desert Storm with it’s run and gun capability against an inferior enemy with no satellite or night vision capability. Now the heat signature of an individual soldier is a target. He’ll, you don’t even need a heat signature. Just send a text message to your boyfriend back home and you’re instantly sending the enemy your grid coordinates.
The people responsible for this horrible tragedy are the same people stealing our freedom and trying to jail their political opponent. Truly a special level of evil.
The Neo-Imperialist Uni-Party: you would think the stupid bastards would know that empires go to Russia to die.
Soviets went to Afghanistan to die.
Pandora’s Box: Ep. 1: The Engineer’s Plot, A Fable From the Age of Science
“This episode details how the Bolshevik revolutionaries who came into power in 1917 attempted to industrialize and control the Soviet Union with rational scientific methods. The Bolsheviks wanted to turn the Soviet people into scientific beings. Aleksei Gastev used social engineering, including a social engineering machine, to make people more rational.”
“What had begun as a grand moral attempt to build a rational society ended by creating a bizarre, bewildering existence for millions of Soviet people.”

My answer would’ve been, “At home with my rifle.”

I thought Tucker was exclusive on Twitter. I notice his content was on YouTube and now rumble. I hadn’t heard anything about the addition of platforms.
As Tucker doesn’t have a contract and isn’t making any money off Twitter, I think 3rd parties feel free to just port his stuff over to other platforms? As Tucker isn’t trying to monetize his current work, my guess is the only thing he cares about is exposure and distribution, so does not see that as a problem but a bonus? IMHO
This
Freebooting
This was one of Tucker’s best interviews. Sometimes I wonder about his true motives and then sometimes he knocks it out of the park like this interview. I was enthralled by every word. The fake elites have deconstructed our national identity brick by brick over the last 15 yrs so what’s left? Why would anyone fight a war for THEM? The military has been dismantled and replaced with woke identity politics not to mention the obesity epidemic amongst young people. All so the pigs in the swamp can feast from the trough. What’s left, bring back the draft? Good luck with that. The chickens are coming home to roost for Bill Kristol, the fat slob Victoria Nuland and the rest of the neocons and far left lunatics they sold us out to.
NAILED IT!
Don’t worry, The Woke will gladly volunteer for their god, government.
Be still my heart
But when push comes to shove, The Woke know the government is a hollow idol and they won’t put themselves on the line for it. They will run for the hills.
They will run to the gender dysphoria therapist we pay for in Brazil.
They know government can be used to spread social democracy.

“Once sober, he got involved in leftist causes, marching for tenants’ rights, blocking evictions, protesting police brutality. As he prepared for the Middle East, his girlfriend thought he was going to do humanitarian work. She was “not stoked,” Belden says, to learn that he planned to fight alongside the YPG.”

Frankly, anyone with common sense can compare the stats of the two countries and come to the conclusion that Ukraine simply cannot win using their current strategy against Russia.
It doesn’t matter how much equipment is provided a team, a country, a criminal organization, or a company, if the opponent is smarter faster and better able to utilize skills and equipment, the opponent will always win if they go head to head.
In the case of an underground resistance where 2 sides are not fighting in the same arena where the small weaker side has more skills in resistance and hiding, maybe there would be a different outcome. This is the approach Ukraine should have taken against Russia but somebody convinced them they could stand toe to toe against the big bear.
Ever see how dogs handle bears? They run around making lots of noise, nipping at the bear from all sides , chasing it up trees, and persisting until the bear runs away.
Ukraine can’t win even if they had 1000 f16. They have lost their people. They have lost their women and children 13million have deserted the country. They are uniforming teenagers. It is all over except for the bleeding and dying.
God take your vengeance on the war mongers make them bleed out from a million cuts. AMEN

Petal mines make a lot of noise and they nip at anyone coming or going. I suppose you would have to remove all the stray dogs running around first if you wanted to march through Europa.
If Russians had cut off the infrastructure, they would be in Kiev by now. Then they could rebuild it. Are the clubs still open in Kiev? The dog did not bark.
You need to bark in Russian or the bears won’t understand you.

Ukraine Failure. The Script is Already Being Written and the Blame…
Ukrainian forces are being offered unsolicited advice on wartime strategies now by The New York Times, apparently, while also being thrown under the bus. On Tuesday the below headline appeared at the top of the NYT’s frontpage…
Mainstream media has very quickly, in a span of two months, gone from euphoric “Ukraine is winning” & “Putin’s demise imminent” statements, to now trying to explain just how it is that Kiev’s counteroffensive is in shambles, despite billions in Western military hardware. Who’s to blame?
Indeed the how did things go wrong in Ukraine script is already being written. The Times, citing US officials, complains that Ukraine commanders just aren’t doing it “right”—and pursuing a failing strategy:
Ukraine’s grinding counteroffensive is struggling to break through entrenched Russian defenses in large part because it has too many troops, including some of its best combat units, in the wrong places, American and other Western officials say.
The main goal of the counteroffensive is to cut off Russian supply lines in southern Ukraine by severing the so-called land bridge between Russia and the occupied Crimean Peninsula. But instead of focusing on that, Ukrainian commanders have divided troops and firepower roughly equally between the east and the south, the U.S. officials said.
In early August, the same publication began setting up what are actually at this point largely untrained Ukrainian frontline forces to take the fall: “Ukraine’s army has for now set aside U.S. fighting methods and reverted to tactics it knows best”… with the implication being that if there are major battlefield losses, it’s not the fault of US advisers.
Months before that, in March, The Washington Post ran the following headline: “Ukraine short of skilled troops and munitions as losses, pessimism grow.”

What makes no sense is when America’s enemies have defeated us, what makes the traitors now in charge think they will NOT be lined up against a wall and shot? They are just useful idiots who have served their purpose and become disposable.
Nobody ever trusts a traitor who has betrayed his own people. Such traitors are only loyal to themselves.
Sometimes they’re beheaded by guillotine.
If the VP can’t be Lake, it needs to be Flynn or MacGregor. I think it will be one of the two for National Security Advisor and the other for VP. It is time for very serious men to be in charge.
MacGregor makes several slightly veiled passes here at some harder truths. He is laying groundwork. (In fact, he sounds very much like a candidate. )
He raised a lot of issues, but for me, here is the key piece of groundwork being laid:
“Where are the 60,000 children?”
He is not asking a question to which he does not know the answer, imho. He is planting a seed so that when the truth fully comes into the light, it will not be out of the blue, at least not for the informed.
We are going to find out, at the right time, what happened to those 60,000 children.

I just love Col Macgregor! He has always been a straight shooter. No BS!
Happy to see that he’s finally on Tucker.
He’s usually on Judge Nap’s Judging Freedom podcast at least once a week.
Can’t tell you how many times Macgregor has pulled me out of meltdown mode.
A true American and Patriot!

Russia has been invading Ukraine since the
revolutionputschinsurrectionpeaceful protest.“President Yanukovych said last night that he was ready for talks, but the opposition say they need to have some of the demands of these protesters met before they’ll sit around the table with President Yanukovych.”
–Daniel Sandford, BBC News, Dec. 12, 2013
A military novice would know immediately that Ukraine would never stand a chance against Russia
When you have multiple factions from different regions, private armies, foreign interference and so on, you need cool heads. My opinion only.
The Civil War in Ukraine
Or the American colonies against the British empire.
This all started a decade ago because the U.S. refused to accept an elected Ukrainian government that was friendly with Russia.
I spent a good portion of my life sworn to give that life in defending and protecting the Constitution of this nation. Sadly, I had many friends that did give their lives, thinking that they were actually honoring that oath. However, Col. MacGregor served to drive home the conclusion I reached long ago, that being, we, meaning those of us who’ve “served” were fools, played by a corrupt and evil government whose real purposes were far removed from the furtherance of the Constitution. Instead, the objective was to enrich a select group of unscrupulous politicians and industrialists. The really sad part, which MacGregor failed to mention, is that President Eisenhower warned the nation about them over seventy years ago. Now, as Col. MacGregor so succinctly stated, the nation is on the edge of an abyss that will probably, be the end of the great American experiment in liberty.
I’m glad that the men who died did so thinking they were dying for a good country. Those of us left who know the truth have an obligation to those men to do whatever is necessary to stop what’s going on now.
When those men died they was fighting for their brothers that where next to them and nothing else.
I think that’s a line from a movie.
You are not alone.
As a veteran will he encourage
others to join. Don’t think so.
Young people see how our
government treats combat
veterans….the number of
suicides and homelessness
and now the Military wonders
why recruitment is down.
Good video. Discusses why recruitment
is down

This coup regime treats illegals better than our vets. That tells you all you need to know.
It is indeed sad, Old Dawg.
It’s rare to find someone as incredibly well-spoken as Col. Macgregor. Measured and confident delivery. He commands respect, and in my book has earned it.
Shouldn’t it say Tucker on X?
A few strange things I noted:
1) Douglas slips and says, “We will never allow that on our border” then catches himself and says “I mean Russians will never” (paraphrase)
2) Commenting on WWII US Generals he says, “Our so called victory (or win) of the war”
Something’s not right with this guy. Just my read on him. Know not many here will feel this and I get that.
STRANGE COMENT————-You seamed to “miss” 90 % of what he meant to say and DID!
Russia was fighting the
Nazi for years before we
became involved.
Russia lost 25 million soldiers
fighting the Nazi.
The US came late into the
War.
With all the WWII theaters…
Pacific, Europe,etc.
US troop losses were 500 thousand.
The basic understanding/education
of WWII here in US is ….we stormed
the beaches in Normandy and won
the war👏👏👏👏👏
Question…what country was the
first to place their flag on the building
in Berlin.
I do remember Churchill asking
US to help Europe fighting the Nazi.
Really don’t remember if Russia
asked for our help fighting the Nazi.🤔
We tend to see the end results
and that is it. A condensed version.
I would suggest reading further
on the subject. The actual battles,
tactics, etc. A lot of great books
out there discussing the battles,etc.
Colonel Macgregor has been
stating his views regarding the
Situation on our Southern border.
😉😉😉😉
He has a YouTube channel. Check
it out!

Bravo! Someone else knows that the US didnt win WW2 single handedly. It blows my mind how little most Americans know about WW2.
Sadly, only the simplified -condensed
public school education on the
subject for most people.
And of course, Hollywood!
😡🤬🤬🤬
And with that, I believe most
people fail to realize how brutal
and ugly war is.
No War
Trump 2024
The victory in WW2 is questionable. Patton seemed to have some doubts. We seemed to have been infiltrated following the war, and proceeded with endless conflicts in spite of Ikes warnings. Only to find ourselves deindustrialized for the profit of the elite.
The Soviets took half of the country and ground it to a pulp. The Western Allies had a trial. Some people went to prison.
There is something very strange about your comment…
I’ve watched MacGregor for quite a while now. He does not get everything right. I remain skeptical about every talking head I listen to, especially those who I find resonance with.
Not impressed w/Macgregor. Sky is always falling. Presentation is good but always looks to the side when making a questionable assertion; don’t think he is what he is presenting himself to be. The summer campaign is reaching a culminating point. Either the Russians make gains in the north or the Ukrainians reach the Azov. Keep an eye on logistic capabilities. Next few weeks will tell. Until then it is all opinions-everybody has one.
My opinion is that you and Spectre need to get back under your respective bridges, Col. Macgregor brings a lifetime of experience to the table all you have is an opinion.
You have no idea what my credentials are.
I have family in Ukraine it
s a disaster. Kill ratio is 5,8,10,13 to 1 in Russia
s favor from multiple sources.So you delete my comment? Doesn’t fit in here with the echo chamber, I guess. You’re no different than the Dems, Sundance.
lol…. when you get all done with that…. I have no clue what you are talking about. 😂🤣😂 But please, keep talking to yourself about it. lol
I think Colonel MacGregor would make an excellent SecDef. He knows what needs to be done, turn him loose and let him do it.
If I am not mistaken President
Trump wanted him officially
in his cabinet.
Mitch McConnell blocked him.
Does the turtle know about the myriad of uses for block and tackle? Maybe he’d like a demonstration….but I sincerely doubt it, so I suppose it’ll be bread and water for 30 years.
🙂
Don’t believe that Bannon has ever had Col. MacGregor on WarRoom…..odd.
Or should the question be….
would Colonel Macgregor
talk or go on the War Room.
🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️💁
Or not.
Thanks, Sundance. The most sobering and concerning interview I’ve seen in a while.
It’s one thing to hear Sundance and Bannon talk this stuff, because we’re used to their/our point of view.
I could be wrong, but I don’t consider Macgregor a partisan in the same stream; he’s just a warrior. Like Gen. Flynn. America First.
God help us.

Precious little guy. It’s for him and for all of our little ones that the demonic warmongers must be STOPPED . They wouldn’t blink an eye about throwing all of our children into the meat grinder in order to advance “American democracy” to every corner of the earth.
If anyone is “dripping with vampire blood” as the drag queen said of Putin, it is Nuland, Obama, Clinton, the Bushes, the Cheneys, and all of the other blood-thirsty neocons who have been running our government for the past 60 years.
Tucker’s interview with Macgregor should be mandatory viewing for every single American.
That was a “State of the state” address…
The US treasury has been robbed of trillions by the MIC and crooked gov and we are basically standing naked defensively. Nice going Miss Lindsey, McTurtle, and the rest of the DC grifting scum. Americans should be outraged. Thank you Colonel McGregor. I just wish we had more people like him running this gov instead of this criminal traitor cabal.
Best discussion of the Ukraine nonsense that I have seen, so far. Thanks for posting this interview, Sundance.
Absolutely incredible interview. The President says that he intends to “stop the killing.” Sweet mercy we need President Trump in the WH RIGHT NOW.
If the Colonel’s figure of in the order of 400,000 Ukrainian dead is correct then it is truly horrific.
As comparison and I am stunned that this isn’t in the headlines, US deaths in WW2 were in the order of 400,000, the UK’s figure similar.
This was after 18 months of war, WW2 was 5-6 years. Terrible
WW2 was 3.7 years. The casualties were closer to 270,000. That would be about 73,000/year. In 1.5 years Ukraine has lost over 400,000. That would be about 270,000/year. A kill rate that is 3.7 times the kill rate of Americans between early December of 1941 and early august of 1945. I am sure this can bee looked up for exact dates and numbers, but I am sure these are close.
Col. Macgregor uses the “engine horsepower” analogy for the U.S. military decline. I was reading comments from a retired general about six months ago. Regarding the U.S. military decline he said:
“The U.S. military is like a six shot revolver with one round loaded. Against Russia or China we have maybe one campaign in us. Win, lose or draw in that campaign and we are finished for at least a decade.”
That was outstanding!!
A must watch for every true Patriot! It sounds like the General has been following Sundance!
Or visa versa.
Eye opening. Is it all inevitably going to end badly?
Where’s the big mouth anti-war agitators on the left eh?
They either lied about their previous intentions, or they’re just easily manipulated. Probably both.
I heard some rumbling that Col. Macgregor might be on DJT’s short list for VP. Thoughts?
I hadn’t seen the video of the Ukraine soldier dressed as a woman until now. What is the psychological strategy behind that?
I understand the verbal msg was anti Russia but what’s going on? Who was the he/she trying to appeal to or underlying message behind appearance.
Why doesn’t Tucker Carlson have closed captioning on his videos on Rumble (Tucker on Twitter/Tucker on X)
I can’t find anything on Rumble that has CC – is there someway to put that on?
If anyone knows and can tell me, I would sure appreciate it!
