https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_MacgregorI will pass on the xenophobic views of this fuck off, and i will stay in topic:
2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine
27 February 2022, Macgregor appeared on three Fox News he said "The battle in eastern Ukraine is really almost over," and predicted "If [Ukraine] don't surrender in the next 24 hours, I suspect Russia will ultimately annihilate them.
Macgregor said he believed Russia should be allowed to seize whatever parts of Ukraine it wanted. In his second appearance, he revised his prediction: "The first five days Russian forces I think frankly were too gentle.
Russian state television channels RT and VGTRK broadcast excerpts of Macgregor's second Carlson appearance, which included a characterization of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a "puppet," that Russian forces had been "too gentle" in the early days of the invasion and that Russian president Vladimir Putin was being "demonized" by the United States and NATO.[55][61] U.S. representative Liz Cheney said of Macgregor "This is the Putin wing of the GOP."[62][63]
In a fourth appearance in early March, Macgregor said a ceasefire was close as Ukrainian forces had been "grounded to bits. There's no question about that despite what we report on our mainstream media".[55] He also defended Russia's invasion in an interview on The Grayzone, saying Putin had taken great care with civilians and this was delaying his victory.[64]
In July 2022, on Real America's Voice he told Charlie Kirk that:
"The war, with the exception of Kharkiv and Odesa, as far as the Russians are concerned is largely over. There is no intention to do anything else because the Russians don’t have a very large army... This nonsense that Putin wants to conquer all of Ukraine was never true. All he ever did in the Minsk agreement was ask that Russian speakers, Russian citizens inside Ukraine be treated equally before the law. That they not be penalized for being Russians."[65]
In September 2022, he again predicted on Carlson's show that “this war may be over soon”[66] and later in the month "the Ukrainian army is bled white, tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops have been killed or wounded, Ukraine is really on the ropes". Liz Cheney tweeted in response: "Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch - Why do you continually put Douglas MacGregor on @FoxNews to spread Putin's propaganda and lies? This is absolutely not in America's interest."[67]
bip bip bip
MacGregor is right about the Russians being too gentle, he was on the ground in the Iraq war where the coalition completely wiped out Iraqi civilian infrastructure in the first couple hours of the war. This was not a war crime btw
Zelensky
is a puppet, if you didn't notice that. He's a NATO tool, if NATO stops propping him up and supplying him 24/7 Zelensky = RIP
Ukraine
is being ground to bits. There literally no way to deny this.
Ukraine did not suffer tens of thousands of casualties, remember when von der Leyen slipped up and sayd 100K Ukrainian soldiers has died, that didn't include al the wounded.
Thank you again for torpedoing your own argument.

Are you really as old as you claim?
First you post lies about a Finnish naval base that you claimed to be Russian, then you post shit about NATO being the hot chad scoring the chicks, I reply that the base is Finnish, not Russian and remember you what is happening to the chicks in Finland,
And you ask ME how old I am? Grow up little fellowQuote (fender @ Apr 4 2023 12:19am)
loaded and dumb question tbh. without NATO there is no stable security situation in europe. not sure if you noticed it, but there is currently a war in europe, specifically because a country was NOT in NATO, and has a neighbour that feels entitled to its territory.
if we're talking purely hypothetical here, i wish NATO didn't even have to exist at all. unfortunately, NATO's best salesman, vladimir pootin, is currently demonstrating that it's very necessary for "a stable security situation" - and more popular than ever.
If you didn't notice, there a war raging out there and it had nothing to do with Russia constantly expanding it's military might by expanding the Warsaw pact, marching further and further West.
Dude you're honestly clueless
