Anybody see him on Fox Business channel this morning. Guy sounded like a Russian propaganda mouth piece. Know the host was shocked.
- Zelensky stupid for not giving in. He is a puppet.
- Russia just going after Ukraine military, much less damage to non military then we did in Iraq.
- Russia just wants a neutral Ukraine

It was just wierd.

Plenty of Russian stooges out there lately, and they are all across the political spectrum.

didn't listen, but i have always enjoyed listening to mcgregor..a voice of reason. that summation is surprising.

I don't know how you can look at the footage we have, some of it live streamed, and say the Russians haven't been indiscriminantly firing artillery at civilian centers. Anyone who believes this is either delusional, ignorant, or a combination of both.

I appreciate any input and perspective as long as it's reasoned. The last thing we need is WWIII because everybody gets on a bandwagon based on emotion.

can it be possible to be anti-Putin for his policies, rhetoric, the invasion, all of it.....and then also believe that as a goal for this invasion, he wants a neutral Ukraine to keep NATO away?

It's pretty apparent that Putin wants a puppet state in Ukraine like their Belarus neighbors.

MacGregor is a Warrior who gives an informed perspective. He never got a brigade command and subsequently a star because he doesn't play the high ranking officer political BS.

Do you genuinely believe Putin just wants Ukrainian to remain neutral

He may have been more or less correct about this perception for day 1-2, but it's changed considerably since that time. Russia seems to be trying to take the entire eastern half of the nation. Russia started out being careful to cause minimal damage but once they were resisted effectively, the gloves came off. Zelensky has a duty to not surrender to Russia and become a puppet state unless that is what the people of Ukraine vote for and want to do.

If you're ignorant, maybe.
