Zelensky was installed in a rigged election by the Neocons. He's destroying his country for billions and probably to avoid blackmail. The world needs Zelensky to be defeated. Douglas McGregor has been one of the few sane voices since this ill-advised proxy war began.
Ooops. Zelensky has only one purpose today. To protect “The Big Guy” from embarrassment, over Hunter Biden, the bagman, collecting tens of millions of dollars of graft and bribes and keeping Russia from capturing the biological weapons labs making Frankenstein zombie viruses designed to kill Americans. Covid-24 must happen to perpetuate the World Economic Forum’s destruction of normal Americans just trying to live their lives without government interference.
The problem with Zelensky is that he was an actor who played a president. He decided to run for president himself. As an egotistical actor, he became a zealot. As long as the US keeps feeding him money, he'll keep sending his army to get killed by Russians. We're (those who follow them) are fed a bunch of crap by a bogus Washington "think tank" that puts out rosy reports to make Americans think Ukraine is "winning."
You were okay with the genocide of ethnically Russian people in the Eastern part of Ukraine?
As empires collapsed throughout the 20th century, maps were terribly redrawn all across the globe. Ukraine was one of the countries that benefitted from a poorly drawn map as it has been made more than twice the size it should be. Ukrainian bullies (aka Nazi Battalions) have been persecuting minority groups in their country for decades. Putin has put an end to this, once and for all.
Actually, Ukraine is twice the size it should be because of Stalin and also Khruschev. The USSR gave the Ruthenians parts of Austria and Poland, then Khruschev, who grew up on the border of Russia and Ukraine, gave them Crimea.
Exactly. Ukraine shouldn't be so much larger than its neighbouring countries (Poland, Hungary, Belarus, etc.). As various empires expanded and collapsed during the 20th century many ill-advised map-making decisions were made. We are still dealing with these bad decisions today across the world. Ukraine is the foremost example.
Only problem is that did not happen. Very excited that you have bought Putin's line that Zelensky is a Jewish Nazi. Great analytical thinking on your behalf.
Is Zelenski an observant practitioner of Judaism? Or just another Soros robot more in the mold of Fidel Castro? Who can know the hearts of men? Only God Almighty, Yahweh.
And it’s perfect companion, war makes a few men very rich. The more war, the more money they make. Why do we fall for their lies and deceptions? Think…
Richard, you are a Neocon who loves warmongering. You like the idea of others going in to combat and getting their faces ripped off but seem to hesitate to volunteer yourself or your children. Why is that? All talk but no actual balls? If you think war in the Ukraine is so moral and important, just fly to Poland and drive over the border to the Ukraine. Ez pz. Unless of course you don’t have the balls? When you get there, comment back here about how great it is.
"wasting" US servicemen?! So our sons, husbands, brother, daughters are a commodity on the shelf! You want to see Russia go down then YOU go and get "wasted" for your vengefulness! And no that doesn't mean get high!
I don’t fault any Ukrainian from defending their homeland. Not one bit. I would do the same for USA. The departure is USA financial & material support that perpetuates this folly. This is not our business. Full stop.
Bear in mind that Ukraine is not a homogenous nation. The eastern third of the country is Russian, and Crimea voted to affiliate with Russia decades ago. The "Ukrainians" are mostly from the west in regions that were once part of Austria and Poland. They have a history of affiliating with Nazis during World War II and they're heavily neo-Nazi. Ukraine didn't even become a nation until after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The region was formerly known as Ruthenia and the people were Ruthenians.
Russia, with Putin today or any other oligarch who follows him, will absolutely launch nuclear warfare to to stop Americans and/or Europeans from taking the Crimea. Which means Sevastopol, the only warm water port for the Russian Empire on the Black Sea. What happened to Realpolitik? Back off a-holes from the US State Department. We don’t wish to experience nuclear Annialation.
Why don’t you commit personal suicide and leave Americans alone? Find your inner transsexual self and just OFF yourself before you kill the rest of us with nuclear destruction.
I don't know that that's true. For one thing, Russia suffered gravely in World War II, losing something like 20 million of its people. Americans were led to believe during the Cold War that the USSR was eager for war when the reverse was actually true. As for Crimea, Ukraine doesn't have the resources to capture it now that they're engaged in a full-fledged war with Russia. Contrary to popular belief, Putin is not stupid. He knows that the use of nukes would provoke a nuclear response from the United States, which would devastate Russia.
i agree with you about the State Department, which, by the way, is heavily slanted toward Ukraine. The real problem is that we have people in government who want to control Russia and its vast resources, not to mention that it's the land link between China and Europe. The US has no link to either one. They have this idiotic idea that they can use Ukraine to wear Russia down then send troops in and take it over. It ain't gonna happen.
By the way, the conflict over Ukraine with Russia goes back further than the United States has been a country.
Ok, think more simply from the Russian point of view for just a moment. Gorbachev ended the Soviet Union with the west with one promise from the west. That the west does not expand one inch east with NATO towards the east. So what happened? Bill Clinton expanded east immediately. All the former Eastern Europe nations joined NATO and now the west demands that Ukraine, a Russian province for a thousand years will be allowed to join NATO?
So who exactly broke our treaties? Is Putin an evil and bad guy? Absolutely. So who will follow Putin when the west does the dirty deed? To destroy the most eastern part of Europe. If you do evil, you will get evil. Right now, the USA is being evil. We will receive our just rewards for being evil and breaking our treaties towards peace, peace, peace, and shalom.
Right now, this very minute, I know precisely my plan to escape this madness to destruction. My plan is the plan of many human beings.
Jesus Christ is Lord of all Lords, and King of all Kings, and the ArcXerzes of all nations will bow down to Him, on the Day of the Lord. The end of time. Before their destruction.
There is an escape. A gentle escape. Jesus is the Truth, the Way, and the Life for all human beings, all races, all colors, all nations, and all languages. Seek Jesus and find peace, peace, peace, and shalom.
Americans lost around 400,000 fello human beings in WW2. Russians lost something between 20 to 40 million human souls. Americans contributed little to nothing to stop the Nazi expansion. Russians won WW2 in Europe. Now they view Americans as the new, the 21st century Nazi invasion. Can you blame them? Our current government act exactly like Nazis, with suppression of free speech, liberty, confiscation of firearms guaranteed by the US Constitution, pressing for public schools indoctrination, and pressing for homosexuals in public schools to rape small children and indoctrination with Drag Queen Story Times in public schools and public libraries. We could go on, and on and on about open borders and drugs like fentanyl, and so forth…..
When was the last last time, actually, that the US Government did anything, anything at all to help normal folks? Ummmm. Ummm. I can’t think about when that actually happened until we get back to Ronald Reagan. Can you?
The War could have ended 9 years ago, with signing the Minsk Agreements (there were 13), were it not for US warmongering. Yes, there is blue and red team co-blame. The question is, and I have heard by MLB below, weakening Russia is an acceptable ulterior motive. The problem is Ukraine and its people are bleeped by your stupid and unnecessary war, Dick.
soundtrack suggestions, while you keep cheering the drone strkes: Boots Riley/The Coup: 'Wars ain't about one land against the next, it's poor people dyingso the rich cash checks.'
and Morrissey: 'World peace is none of your business, you must not tamper with arrangements...Brazil and Bahrain, Egypt, Ukraine, so many people in pain...'
Zelensky was a very popular sitcom actor in his own country, which led to him becoming its president in real life to take advantage of his popularity in the sitcom.
Richard, allow me to explain the big picture of why USA support of Ukraine is bad for USA long term national security - that may resonate with you?
You may or may not have heard this take on your news feeds, I don’t know.
USA support of Ukraine perpetuates a war that is an existential threat to Russia. As a result, Russia becomes (much) closer geopolitically to USA’s true global adversary, China. Russia & China in close partnership is not good for USA now, in short term or long term. Further, the USA has/is cutting Russia off from the western controlled international banking system. This drives Russia away from their dependency on US dollars, as their fiat currency of record. This encourages BRIC countries to (more quickly) create their own bloc fiat currency, that over time, could rival US dollar fiat currency. Russia might be a big cheerleader of that happening based on how they are being treated, encroachment of NATO over last 40 years.
To take this further, would suggest that China-USA current detente’ is due to our extreme interdependence on each other. We (USA) print the fiat currency, China buys the resulting debt, USA can fund all our social security programs, support for underclass of our fellow Americans, and more. Both Countries are invested in protecting these assets/liabilities.
Now, with Russia you have removed them (are removing them) from this interdependence system. And the party being ‘shut out’ has a big, historical ego, and is armed with thermonuclear weapons. This creates danger to USA national security in long view, but unfortunately is being done for short term $ MIC profits.
Think about how League of Nations, post WW1, put Germany in a big financial hole. How did they react? Germans are proud people and rose up again “outside and in competition” with the West. It resulted in WW2, eventually. That is closest analogy I can offer to what we are doing now w/ Russia, and driving them into the arms of China.
Sorry, you forget to mention the absolute evil of Woodrow Wilson, the very man who created this monster. The League of Nations, This Princeton chieftain, the author of the Monster of Jeckyl Island, the Federal Reserve and the IRS, and the first presenter of the “Birth of a Nation” in the White House, the second birth of the Ku Klux Klan. Which resulted in the DNC Convention in NYC n 1924 at Madison Square Gardens, it was nicknamed the KKKlan bake, a collection of Ku Klux Klan Nazis. Democrats have never changed at all since 1924. Now they just wish to , as Joseph Robinette Biden said, they demand to “put them all in chains again”. He wasn’t talking about the party of Abraham Lincoln who freed the slaves. He was talking directly about Democrats who have put them in back in chains in the welfare schemes that destroy Black family’s until this very day in August 2023.
Such a tyrant that he was invited to global leadership conferences for over 20 years. The world let Russia a World Cup and an Olympics in the last decade. Putin only became a tyrant when he was nearing 70 an age when even a monster like Kaganovitch (you may want to look him up) had calmed down. Did you even watch the video that Sasha posted?
Hitler held the Olympics. So yeah, some precedent in awful people being a part of the international community. I've watched McGregor tell Tucker for 18 months that the Russians are the good guys.
Sasha, you are so important to me because you were a Biden supporter. Having your insight of years in the Democratic Party and now showing us what you are discovering have merit for me. I was not a Biden, Clinton, or Obama supporter. You make the clarity of what I have needed to hear, see, and understand. From your point of view. My God, you are one bright articulate person. Thank you. Always be well. Leslie
The democrats are fighting a two front war: Internally they’ve turned America’s War Machine on Trump and supporters. Externally on Putin and Russia. They want Putin dead, the Russian people ground into the dirt and their LGBTQIA+ Pride flag of their Woke faith to fly over the ruins of the Kremlin. Last year there was a video on RT of Putin condemning Western Wokeness which he called “a crime against humanity.” No doubt they hated him more than ever after he so publicly insulted their Woke race and gender religious faith.
Putin is infinitely better than the despicably vile piece of garbage illegally squatting in the White House. At least Putin doesn’t despise me for being white, is intelligent to know that a country has to have borders and sane enough to understand that there are only two genders instead of scores with more discovered all the time. Plus I’m sure Moscow is far safer than Chicago for white people. And yes, I would go live in Moscow if I could.
“At least 23 armed robberies reported Sunday as Chicago cops again see a robbery in progress, but don’t chase the offenders.”
We're comitting suicide, and 2/3 of the country doesn't see it. Abraham Lincoln foresaw this danger and tried to warn us: "If it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide." - The Lyceum Address, Springfield, Ill., 1838
thank you for sharing ... heads up the YouTube video is not viewable. No surprise.
Being in Canada, our gov't. has forbidden news sharing on FB and of course FB agrees. Thankfully Substack exists. Your posts are very important - thank you.
Ukraine has been a Russian province for a thousand years. Stop the war right now. It is absolutely NONE of our business. Stop the killing and the destruction. Haul out all the American warmongers and make them HANG from a noose. Our American military contractors, and politicians pushing for needless death of human beings should be hanged from their necks.
And no, I do not like Putin, he is just another warmonger and the Russians should also hang him from a noose. Do the same with the Russian warmongers, their military oligarchs getting rich killing their own people and the Ukrainian peoples. Hang them all high.
Peace, peace, peace…. And Shalom. No more useless wars.
Bring the Russians and the Americans and Europeans into a peace treaty. That is the only way forward. No more war.
It would be nice if Tucker would transcribe his interviews and post them somewhere. Not everyone wants to screw around with Twitter. I'm on it but I don't waste time looking at videos. I'd much rather see things in print.
PS - I assume you know that Tucker doesn't use Twitter himself. He doesn't use social media at all.
You need to take what McGregor says with a huge grain of salt. His claim of 400,000 dead Ukrainian vs 50,0000 dead Russians doesn’t hold up to reality of the Russians still sitting in their trenches. If you had that level of differential in casualties you would advance not sit in a fox hole.
I can see two reasons for not advancing; already have an enemy to friendly kill ratio of 8 to 1, and don’t want to escalate when you already have what you wanted. Finally, the Ukraine is imploding and can’t survive the dick playing piano comedian president that the CIA put in. Russia already won and Biden and MSM can’t admit the hundreds of billions we sent was a waste.
You obviously do not know the history of the Eastern Front in WW II. The Russians crushed the Germans with offensive attacks once they stopped the Germans outside of Moscow. They do not value human life and they were willing to sacrifice millions to win.
I do know it and I know the defense of Stalingrad was the key that led to a final clean up offensive. Why is it Neocons like you who never served in the military act like you know warfare?
There are no neocons. The entire Repubican Party had to pressure Biden to send warplanes to Ukraine. Obama said no, Biden stood down. https://www.bbc.com/news/60710226
Since February 2022 - 17 months ago to this day, MacGregor insisted Ukraine lost the war and Russia has won it.
I can't see into the future as MacGregor obviously can, but the last I heard Ukraine is attacking Crimea and has made significant, if not yet adequate moves to take back its nation. UKRAINE HAS ATTACKED MOSCOW.
I recommend readers for the latest news to go to Daily Mail and UK Express, which is more or less free of ideological orthodoxy typical of what we were subjected to at the Tucker Carlson's show.
MacGregor: Ukraine is on the Ropes - we're in the final phase of the war, he said April 2022:
“It (Russia) has not achieved any of Putin’s central objectives. The Russian army is suffering damage that will take years to repair if repair is even possible. Ukrainian forces are conducting counteroffensive operations, steadily pushing the Russians back from their positions around Kyiv and Kharkiv.”
Since then, Kyiv and Kharkiv have mostly been liberated from the Russians....by the Ukrainians.
The bottom line: MacGregor has been almost 100% wrong about his assessments and predictions to this very day. So was Tucker - a good reason for you to feature these ideologues.
Tucker - and yes, I was in Budapest with him in 2021 at the Matild Palace Hotel - and MacGregor, live in the Twilight Zone! It is where they, and their fans, live:
Russia and China are uniting much of the world to fight the spread of the poisonous LGBTQIA+ ideology of our globalist, Woke leftist, ruling class which is demonic. All things are now global in our always online global civilization. Many traditional people will join them to fight this. No doubt about it.
“White House’s push for woke foreign policy will backfire with our socially conservative allies.”
“The U.S. State Department is keen on exporting American-style gender and race consciousness into foreign diplomacy and across the globe. Citing “identity” and “intersections of marginalization” as focal points, State Department officials acknowledge that promoting these Western concepts in foreign lands may clash with “societal norms” and elicit an “unwillingness to cede power by dominant groups.”
“Plans Taxpayers Are Now Funding Across the Federal Government.”
MacGregor has a record of making wrong predictions. But so does the MSM, which has been telling us for a year and half now that Ukraine is about to win. Any day now! Overall, I think MacGregor is closer to the truth. I have been "rootin' for Putin" from the beginning, for several reasons. In no particular order ...
1) The secession has doubtful legitimacy. Ukrainian is about 50% mutually intelligible with Russian. (That's better than my mother managed in Scotland.) About half of the problem comes from a vowel shift that Ukrainian went through, and about half is from Ukrainian haven taken in a lot of Cossack/Kazakh words. (You have to know these things when you're king, you know.)
2) I am in general opposed to secessions. For example, Slovakia having seceded from "Czechia" (again on the basis of a relatively minor difference of language) really just makes it easier for the Russian to gobble both if they have a mind to. Weakness invites attack, and smallness is weakness.
3) "Our 'containment' is their 'encirclement'". The Russians are always going to be paranoid if The West" is so far east. Such a situation cannot be stable.
4) Kiev was the first capital of Russia.
5) It is absurd to regard Crimea as part of Ukraine, which is historically Tatar/Mongol, and there is no legitimate reason to regard the eastern strip, which is Russian, as part of Ukraine. Zelensky's ambitions are wildly unjustified, not to mention unattainable.
I have no doubt that we should back off and "Let nature take its course".
There are 8B people in the world, approx 3B have cell phones with cameras and we know very little about 'The War in Ukraine.' The Neocons deride MacGregor and yet he seems to be the only one that has been accurate over the past year and a half. Good post, fellow child of the 70's.
Not goin’ to happen until next Spring at the earliest. Mr Putin is contemplating his “winter advantage perspective” [No one or country can tolerate a Siberian permafrost (“Kremlin Christmas Season
I will mark this as the day I stopped taking Tucker seriously. Macgregor has been demonstrably wrong about Russia’s prospects in Ukraine since 2/24/22. The fact that Tucker still regards him as a credible source after all this time is a real indictment on Tucker. I’m not saying I believe the Western MSM or the Ukrainian govt, but at this point Macgregor has all the credibility of Baghdad Bob, and Tucker should know this.
Ashby, there have been several interviewees of Tucker that I’ve found, lack credibility. But I don’t tune him out for that. Tucker to me touches on edges of truths that MSM does not. Tucker himself has admitted how taken/fooled he was (as was I) on past ‘03 Iraq invasion, for example. That boosts his credibility, with me. Perhaps in time he will find MacGregor also had it wrong on short term stuff. To me, Tucker is worthy of listening because he has demonstrated ability to publicly state he was wrong in past. That is a mark of a critical and reflective thinker.
I see the same thing about MacGregor. He has his narrative that he pushes and it never varies. The casualty differential 400,000 vs 50,000 and yet the Russians do not advance is a key giveaway that he is full of BS
When he said Russia has "advanced weaponry", I about fell out of my chair! Ah, so that's why they are putting T-55s back into service?
If we agree that this is a war for survival for Russia, as pretty much everyone suggests (why else would they draft college men to go fight?), why would they "hold back" as Macgregor suggests they are doing? Makes no sense.
Reality & Ashby, you are falling victim to short term thinking, I’m afraid. Regardless of ‘when’ Russia takes over eastern Ukraine (and it will eventually occur, based simply on demographics between the two adversaries and the fact that Ukraine has little to no topographical barriers.. they are flat!), there is real, long term danger to US national security by driving Russia into closer alliance with our true adversary, China.
Matt I am all for this war being negotiated out of existence, including even drawing a new line btw the two countries that runs thru portions of Donesk and Luhansk, and officially giving Crimea back to Russia. Otherwise I see this war going on as a stalemate for years. I think we are on the same page here. I just don't believe Macgregor when he says Russia is close to winning or kicking Ukraine's ass or anything else he is saying. Every objective metric (Russian draft, tanking Rouble, pulling outdated weaponry out of deep storage, the barely-moving battle lines) says otherwise.
Also, China appears to taking a "wait and see" approach to strengthening its ties to Russia. But I think they have already seen how disastrous this war has been for Russia, and it would be 10 times worse for them if they tried to invade Taiwan. So, yeah, they may supply weapons to Russia (they already are, as far as I can tell), but they still seem pretty hesitant to deepen their involvement for several reasons (one of which is the fact that Russia does not look like a winner at this point, unless you count occupying areas dominated by ethnic Russians as a win).
NATO way outclasses Russia with its navy and ground-based forces. Poland, Eastern Europe's new superpower alone can take on Russia! And Hungary, now in partnership with Israel and Germany, is building the most advanced light tanks and drones.
The Libertarians have an identity, an antisemitic, as well as a knowledge-based problem. It is most evident on Tucker's shows.
Incidentally, I live half the year in Budapest Hungary, the other half in the US, and I was here where Tucker broadcast his show.
Not only do I live here, but I live next to the Hungarian FED, one building north of it is the American Embassy, back to back of it is the Hungarian Treasury, across the Embassy, holding one of the most prominent spots in the nation, is the statue of Ronald Reagan that the mayor of the 5th District, with a good push from me, just reconditioned to its "as new" appearance.
Behind Reagan is the Hungarian Parliament, the number one tourist attraction on the planet. In other words, in the 5th district of Budapest, the financial and political center, I am wired in far more than Tucker will ever be.
This Ukraine fiasco is a set up by China to weaken the US so when the attack on Taiwan comes we aren’t able to effectively respond. The NeoCons are wrong and have been wrong
I don’t know if China is behind Ukraine or simply our managerial neocon class. I don’t yet buy the ‘China set this up’ argument. USA has been meddling in Ukraine (installing govt there in opposition to Moscow) many years before hostilities broke out. But I do think for sure that USA focus on Ukraine takes our eye away from China, and their desire to unify Taiwan to the mainland, and this is dangerous.
To me, Taiwan independence is currently, vital to USA (and EU’s) way of modern life.
If China attacks Taiwan, this could represent an existential threat to ‘way of modern life’ in the West, and would that risk thermonuclear weapon use (by USA) to stop/prevent? The prize for Beijing of Taiwan take-over is control of the globe’s semiconductor supply (like 80% of it), and those drive every modern device we use. Would the US allow that without big pain.
Xi has encouraged Putin because he knows that the Neocons will do anything to have their proxy war with Russia. Xi has no problem with both Russia and the US destroying themselves. If you want global domination what better way to get it done than having the two countries capable of keeping you from doing it fight each other in a senseless war.
They would "hold back" because as long as the Ukrainians are attacking (largely in efforts to reclaim areas that are not Ukrainian) the Ukrainians are taking more casualties. Roughly comparable is how the Confederates, by trying to drive the Americans out of Confederate territory, slowly but surely made themselves too weak to put up any effective resistance. If the Ukrainians keep attacking, they will eventually reach the point where the Russians can go over to the offensive with little risk. If they do not, then a cease-fire (which makes sense if no one is attacking) will leave Russia in control of the eastern strip. Either way, the Russians win, at least in round one.
two reasons for not advancing; Russia already have an enemy to friendly kill ratio of 8 to 1, and don’t want to escalate when you already have what you wanted. Ukraine is imploding and can’t survive the dick playing piano comedian president that the CIA put in. Russia already won and Biden and MSM can’t admit the hundreds of billions we sent was a waste. Ukraine is a military bad joke: Russia is a real military power.
Thank you for sending this, but this does not make any mention of an 8:1 ratio or any other ratio (other than 7:1 Russian-to-Ukrainian ratio which, as the article points out, sounds very suspect). It's pretty easy to not believe Macgregor or the MSM.
Zelensky was installed in a rigged election by the Neocons. He's destroying his country for billions and probably to avoid blackmail. The world needs Zelensky to be defeated. Douglas McGregor has been one of the few sane voices since this ill-advised proxy war began.
Ooops. Zelensky has only one purpose today. To protect “The Big Guy” from embarrassment, over Hunter Biden, the bagman, collecting tens of millions of dollars of graft and bribes and keeping Russia from capturing the biological weapons labs making Frankenstein zombie viruses designed to kill Americans. Covid-24 must happen to perpetuate the World Economic Forum’s destruction of normal Americans just trying to live their lives without government interference.
The problem with Zelensky is that he was an actor who played a president. He decided to run for president himself. As an egotistical actor, he became a zealot. As long as the US keeps feeding him money, he'll keep sending his army to get killed by Russians. We're (those who follow them) are fed a bunch of crap by a bogus Washington "think tank" that puts out rosy reports to make Americans think Ukraine is "winning."
Yeah, if he's a zealot so is the rest of his countrymen. People crapping on Ukraine for defending their own country. Great work everyone.

Americans lost around 400,000 fello human beings in WW2. Russians lost something between 20 to 40 million human souls. Americans contributed little to nothing to stop the Nazi expansion. Russians won WW2 in Europe. Now they view Americans as the new, the 21st century Nazi invasion. Can you blame them? Our current government act exactly like Nazis, with suppression of free speech, liberty, confiscation of firearms guaranteed by the US Constitution, pressing for public schools indoctrination, and pressing for homosexuals in public schools to rape small children and indoctrination with Drag Queen Story Times in public schools and public libraries. We could go on, and on and on about open borders and drugs like fentanyl, and so forth…..
When was the last last time, actually, that the US Government did anything, anything at all to help normal folks? Ummmm. Ummm. I can’t think about when that actually happened until we get back to Ronald Reagan. Can you?
The War could have ended 9 years ago, with signing the Minsk Agreements (there were 13), were it not for US warmongering. Yes, there is blue and red team co-blame. The question is, and I have heard by MLB below, weakening Russia is an acceptable ulterior motive. The problem is Ukraine and its people are bleeped by your stupid and unnecessary war, Dick.

Richard, allow me to explain the big picture of why USA support of Ukraine is bad for USA long term national security - that may resonate with you?
You may or may not have heard this take on your news feeds, I don’t know.
USA support of Ukraine perpetuates a war that is an existential threat to Russia. As a result, Russia becomes (much) closer geopolitically to USA’s true global adversary, China. Russia & China in close partnership is not good for USA now, in short term or long term. Further, the USA has/is cutting Russia off from the western controlled international banking system. This drives Russia away from their dependency on US dollars, as their fiat currency of record. This encourages BRIC countries to (more quickly) create their own bloc fiat currency, that over time, could rival US dollar fiat currency. Russia might be a big cheerleader of that happening based on how they are being treated, encroachment of NATO over last 40 years.
To take this further, would suggest that China-USA current detente’ is due to our extreme interdependence on each other. We (USA) print the fiat currency, China buys the resulting debt, USA can fund all our social security programs, support for underclass of our fellow Americans, and more. Both Countries are invested in protecting these assets/liabilities.
Now, with Russia you have removed them (are removing them) from this interdependence system. And the party being ‘shut out’ has a big, historical ego, and is armed with thermonuclear weapons. This creates danger to USA national security in long view, but unfortunately is being done for short term $ MIC profits.
Think about how League of Nations, post WW1, put Germany in a big financial hole. How did they react? Germans are proud people and rose up again “outside and in competition” with the West. It resulted in WW2, eventually. That is closest analogy I can offer to what we are doing now w/ Russia, and driving them into the arms of China.
Bingo… you win the prize today.

Sorry, you forget to mention the absolute evil of Woodrow Wilson, the very man who created this monster. The League of Nations, This Princeton chieftain, the author of the Monster of Jeckyl Island, the Federal Reserve and the IRS, and the first presenter of the “Birth of a Nation” in the White House, the second birth of the Ku Klux Klan. Which resulted in the DNC Convention in NYC n 1924 at Madison Square Gardens, it was nicknamed the KKKlan bake, a collection of Ku Klux Klan Nazis. Democrats have never changed at all since 1924. Now they just wish to , as Joseph Robinette Biden said, they demand to “put them all in chains again”. He wasn’t talking about the party of Abraham Lincoln who freed the slaves. He was talking directly about Democrats who have put them in back in chains in the welfare schemes that destroy Black family’s until this very day in August 2023.
Prove me wrong.
Or maybe he just doesn't want to be ruled by a tyrant like Putin.
Such a tyrant that he was invited to global leadership conferences for over 20 years. The world let Russia a World Cup and an Olympics in the last decade. Putin only became a tyrant when he was nearing 70 an age when even a monster like Kaganovitch (you may want to look him up) had calmed down. Did you even watch the video that Sasha posted?
Hitler held the Olympics. So yeah, some precedent in awful people being a part of the international community. I've watched McGregor tell Tucker for 18 months that the Russians are the good guys.
Yet no one is willing to debate McgGregor.
Yes they are.
You sir, are a fool.
Sasha, you are so important to me because you were a Biden supporter. Having your insight of years in the Democratic Party and now showing us what you are discovering have merit for me. I was not a Biden, Clinton, or Obama supporter. You make the clarity of what I have needed to hear, see, and understand. From your point of view. My God, you are one bright articulate person. Thank you. Always be well. Leslie
The democrats are fighting a two front war: Internally they’ve turned America’s War Machine on Trump and supporters. Externally on Putin and Russia. They want Putin dead, the Russian people ground into the dirt and their LGBTQIA+ Pride flag of their Woke faith to fly over the ruins of the Kremlin. Last year there was a video on RT of Putin condemning Western Wokeness which he called “a crime against humanity.” No doubt they hated him more than ever after he so publicly insulted their Woke race and gender religious faith.
Putin is infinitely better than the despicably vile piece of garbage illegally squatting in the White House. At least Putin doesn’t despise me for being white, is intelligent to know that a country has to have borders and sane enough to understand that there are only two genders instead of scores with more discovered all the time. Plus I’m sure Moscow is far safer than Chicago for white people. And yes, I would go live in Moscow if I could.

thank you for sharing ... heads up the YouTube video is not viewable. No surprise.
Being in Canada, our gov't. has forbidden news sharing on FB and of course FB agrees. Thankfully Substack exists. Your posts are very important - thank you.
I strongly second that motion. Glad to hear from you ,Dennis. I’ll bet there’re a lot of us greatful for Substack.
Ukraine has been a Russian province for a thousand years. Stop the war right now. It is absolutely NONE of our business. Stop the killing and the destruction. Haul out all the American warmongers and make them HANG from a noose. Our American military contractors, and politicians pushing for needless death of human beings should be hanged from their necks.
And no, I do not like Putin, he is just another warmonger and the Russians should also hang him from a noose. Do the same with the Russian warmongers, their military oligarchs getting rich killing their own people and the Ukrainian peoples. Hang them all high.
Peace, peace, peace…. And Shalom. No more useless wars.
Bring the Russians and the Americans and Europeans into a peace treaty. That is the only way forward. No more war.
It would be nice if Tucker would transcribe his interviews and post them somewhere. Not everyone wants to screw around with Twitter. I'm on it but I don't waste time looking at videos. I'd much rather see things in print.
PS - I assume you know that Tucker doesn't use Twitter himself. He doesn't use social media at all.
You need to take what McGregor says with a huge grain of salt. His claim of 400,000 dead Ukrainian vs 50,0000 dead Russians doesn’t hold up to reality of the Russians still sitting in their trenches. If you had that level of differential in casualties you would advance not sit in a fox hole.
I can see two reasons for not advancing; already have an enemy to friendly kill ratio of 8 to 1, and don’t want to escalate when you already have what you wanted. Finally, the Ukraine is imploding and can’t survive the dick playing piano comedian president that the CIA put in. Russia already won and Biden and MSM can’t admit the hundreds of billions we sent was a waste.
Could you tell me what the Power Ball number is?
3 4 12 22 28 16*
This statement is about as untethered from reality as MacGregor's are. See above.
That’s not how you win wars.
Russia already won. And it’s how they beat the Germans also. Grind them down on the defensive.
You obviously do not know the history of the Eastern Front in WW II. The Russians crushed the Germans with offensive attacks once they stopped the Germans outside of Moscow. They do not value human life and they were willing to sacrifice millions to win.
I do know it and I know the defense of Stalingrad was the key that led to a final clean up offensive. Why is it Neocons like you who never served in the military act like you know warfare?
There are no neocons. The entire Repubican Party had to pressure Biden to send warplanes to Ukraine. Obama said no, Biden stood down. https://www.bbc.com/news/60710226
Meanwhile again, see what I wrote above.
exactly.
FROM ABOVE:
Since February 2022 - 17 months ago to this day, MacGregor insisted Ukraine lost the war and Russia has won it.
I can't see into the future as MacGregor obviously can, but the last I heard Ukraine is attacking Crimea and has made significant, if not yet adequate moves to take back its nation. UKRAINE HAS ATTACKED MOSCOW.
I recommend readers for the latest news to go to Daily Mail and UK Express, which is more or less free of ideological orthodoxy typical of what we were subjected to at the Tucker Carlson's show.

when I wrote:
“It (Russia) has not achieved any of Putin’s central objectives. The Russian army is suffering damage that will take years to repair if repair is even possible. Ukrainian forces are conducting counteroffensive operations, steadily pushing the Russians back from their positions around Kyiv and Kharkiv.”
Since then, Kyiv and Kharkiv have mostly been liberated from the Russians....by the Ukrainians.
The bottom line: MacGregor has been almost 100% wrong about his assessments and predictions to this very day. So was Tucker - a good reason for you to feature these ideologues.
But look, no one's perfect.

Russia and China are uniting much of the world to fight the spread of the poisonous LGBTQIA+ ideology of our globalist, Woke leftist, ruling class which is demonic.

MacGregor has a record of making wrong predictions. But so does the MSM, which has been telling us for a year and half now that Ukraine is about to win. Any day now! Overall, I think MacGregor is closer to the truth. I have been "rootin' for Putin" from the beginning, for several reasons. In no particular order ...
1) The secession has doubtful legitimacy. Ukrainian is about 50% mutually intelligible with Russian. (That's better than my mother managed in Scotland.) About half of the problem comes from a vowel shift that Ukrainian went through, and about half is from Ukrainian haven taken in a lot of Cossack/Kazakh words. (You have to know these things when you're king, you know.)
2) I am in general opposed to secessions. For example, Slovakia having seceded from "Czechia" (again on the basis of a relatively minor difference of language) really just makes it easier for the Russian to gobble both if they have a mind to. Weakness invites attack, and smallness is weakness.
3) "Our 'containment' is their 'encirclement'". The Russians are always going to be paranoid if The West" is so far east. Such a situation cannot be stable.
4) Kiev was the first capital of Russia.
5) It is absurd to regard Crimea as part of Ukraine, which is historically Tatar/Mongol, and there is no legitimate reason to regard the eastern strip, which is Russian, as part of Ukraine. Zelensky's ambitions are wildly unjustified, not to mention unattainable.
I have no doubt that we should back off and "Let nature take its course".
Thanks so much for sharing this interview. I knew the war was wrong but didn't know how to articulate it. Now I do...
There are 8B people in the world, approx 3B have cell phones with cameras and we know very little about 'The War in Ukraine.' The Neocons deride MacGregor and yet he seems to be the only one that has been accurate over the past year and a half. Good post, fellow child of the 70's.
Exactly! The Blackout of actual on the ground info of this war speaks volumes!
CIA, NSA, NYT, WAPO, CNN, MSM have not yet approved the truth and never really do.
Not goin’ to happen until next Spring at the earliest. Mr Putin is contemplating his “winter advantage perspective” [No one or country can tolerate a Siberian permafrost (“Kremlin Christmas Season
like (as) a True Russophile!]
Wonder what he really thinks. Scary stuff.
Illegal immigrant gets $2200 per month, Maui resident a one off $700! You can’t make this up.
I will mark this as the day I stopped taking Tucker seriously. Macgregor has been demonstrably wrong about Russia’s prospects in Ukraine since 2/24/22. The fact that Tucker still regards him as a credible source after all this time is a real indictment on Tucker. I’m not saying I believe the Western MSM or the Ukrainian govt, but at this point Macgregor has all the credibility of Baghdad Bob, and Tucker should know this.
Ashby, there have been several interviewees of Tucker that I’ve found, lack credibility. But I don’t tune him out for that. Tucker to me touches on edges of truths that MSM does not. Tucker himself has admitted how taken/fooled he was (as was I) on past ‘03 Iraq invasion, for example. That boosts his credibility, with me. Perhaps in time he will find MacGregor also had it wrong on short term stuff. To me, Tucker is worthy of listening because he has demonstrated ability to publicly state he was wrong in past. That is a mark of a critical and reflective thinker.
I see the same thing about MacGregor. He has his narrative that he pushes and it never varies. The casualty differential 400,000 vs 50,000 and yet the Russians do not advance is a key giveaway that he is full of BS
When he said Russia has "advanced weaponry", I about fell out of my chair! Ah, so that's why they are putting T-55s back into service?
If we agree that this is a war for survival for Russia, as pretty much everyone suggests (why else would they draft college men to go fight?), why would they "hold back" as Macgregor suggests they are doing? Makes no sense.
Reality & Ashby, you are falling victim to short term thinking, I’m afraid. Regardless of ‘when’ Russia takes over eastern Ukraine (and it will eventually occur, based simply on demographics between the two adversaries and the fact that Ukraine has little to no topographical barriers.. they are flat!), there is real, long term danger to US national security by driving Russia into closer alliance with our true adversary, China.
Matt I am all for this war being negotiated out of existence, including even drawing a new line btw the two countries that runs thru portions of Donesk and Luhansk, and officially giving Crimea back to Russia. Otherwise I see this war going on as a stalemate for years. I think we are on the same page here. I just don't believe Macgregor when he says Russia is close to winning or kicking Ukraine's ass or anything else he is saying. Every objective metric (Russian draft, tanking Rouble, pulling outdated weaponry out of deep storage, the barely-moving battle lines) says otherwise.
Also, China appears to taking a "wait and see" approach to strengthening its ties to Russia. But I think they have already seen how disastrous this war has been for Russia, and it would be 10 times worse for them if they tried to invade Taiwan. So, yeah, they may supply weapons to Russia (they already are, as far as I can tell), but they still seem pretty hesitant to deepen their involvement for several reasons (one of which is the fact that Russia does not look like a winner at this point, unless you count occupying areas dominated by ethnic Russians as a win).
I would have agreed with Tucker and MacGregor early last year when I wrote at CD MEDIA:
https://creativedestructionmedia.com/analysis/2022/01/19/build-it-back-better-after-the-nuclear-war/
You need to read it! All the way.
Since those heady days, I changed my mind - this is why:
https://andrewgbenjamin.substack.com/p/is-ukraine-in-the-national-interest
Thanks Ashby, yes our views on this in close alignment
NATO way outclasses Russia with its navy and ground-based forces. Poland, Eastern Europe's new superpower alone can take on Russia! And Hungary, now in partnership with Israel and Germany, is building the most advanced light tanks and drones.
The Libertarians have an identity, an antisemitic, as well as a knowledge-based problem. It is most evident on Tucker's shows.

Incidentally, I live half the year in Budapest Hungary, the other half in the US, and I was here where Tucker broadcast his show.
Not only do I live here, but I live next to the Hungarian FED, one building north of it is the American Embassy, back to back of it is the Hungarian Treasury, across the Embassy, holding one of the most prominent spots in the nation, is the statue of Ronald Reagan that the mayor of the 5th District, with a good push from me, just reconditioned to its "as new" appearance.
Behind Reagan is the Hungarian Parliament, the number one tourist attraction on the planet. In other words, in the 5th district of Budapest, the financial and political center, I am wired in far more than Tucker will ever be.

This Ukraine fiasco is a set up by China to weaken the US so when the attack on Taiwan comes we aren’t able to effectively respond. The NeoCons are wrong and have been wrong
I don’t know if China is behind Ukraine or simply our managerial neocon class. I don’t yet buy the ‘China set this up’ argument. USA has been meddling in Ukraine (installing govt there in opposition to Moscow) many years before hostilities broke out. But I do think for sure that USA focus on Ukraine takes our eye away from China, and their desire to unify Taiwan to the mainland, and this is dangerous.
To me, Taiwan independence is currently, vital to USA (and EU’s) way of modern life.
If China attacks Taiwan, this could represent an existential threat to ‘way of modern life’ in the West, and would that risk thermonuclear weapon use (by USA) to stop/prevent? The prize for Beijing of Taiwan take-over is control of the globe’s semiconductor supply (like 80% of it), and those drive every modern device we use. Would the US allow that without big pain.
Hey Reality, this is new one for me so appreciate you explaining.
How is it that China is behind the USA involvement in Ukraine?
Under the assumption that is what you mean when you say ‘the Ukraine fiasco is set up by China..’
I haven’t heard this take and interested to hear yours
Xi has encouraged Putin because he knows that the Neocons will do anything to have their proxy war with Russia. Xi has no problem with both Russia and the US destroying themselves. If you want global domination what better way to get it done than having the two countries capable of keeping you from doing it fight each other in a senseless war.
They would "hold back" because as long as the Ukrainians are attacking (largely in efforts to reclaim areas that are not Ukrainian) the Ukrainians are taking more casualties. Roughly comparable is how the Confederates, by trying to drive the Americans out of Confederate territory, slowly but surely made themselves too weak to put up any effective resistance. If the Ukrainians keep attacking, they will eventually reach the point where the Russians can go over to the offensive with little risk. If they do not, then a cease-fire (which makes sense if no one is attacking) will leave Russia in control of the eastern strip. Either way, the Russians win, at least in round one.
Russia is in no where close to not surviving.
Not what I said.
two reasons for not advancing; Russia already have an enemy to friendly kill ratio of 8 to 1, and don’t want to escalate when you already have what you wanted. Ukraine is imploding and can’t survive the dick playing piano comedian president that the CIA put in. Russia already won and Biden and MSM can’t admit the hundreds of billions we sent was a waste. Ukraine is a military bad joke: Russia is a real military power.
Where are you getting this 8:1 ratio other than from Macgregor himself?
https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2023/07/12/riddle-this-how-many-casualties-are-there-truly-on-both-sides-of-ukraine-war/. Only the CIA and KGB know the real numbers. I don’t trust NYT, WAPO, Guardian or any other Neocon warmongering rag.
Thank you for sending this, but this does not make any mention of an 8:1 ratio or any other ratio (other than 7:1 Russian-to-Ukrainian ratio which, as the article points out, sounds very suspect). It's pretty easy to not believe Macgregor or the MSM.
