JD Heyes – March 22, 2022
Noted military analyst and retired U.S. Army Col. Douglas MacGregor said in an interview posted online this week that he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin has already won the war in Ukraine in an assessment that differs widely from what is being reported in the ‘mainstream’ media.
Those sources are nearly universally portraying Ukraine as heroically beating back the Russian assault with brave resistance that is taking a huge toll on the invading forces.
But, says MacGregor, in fact, Putin’s forces have already achieved many of their objectives and there is little, if anything, Ukrainian forces can do about it at this point.
“What Ukrainian forces are still active are entirely surrounded, cut off, and isolated in various towns and cities,” he told the “Gray Zone” podcast. “The Ukrainian forces are incapable of anything but a pinprick attack on something that doesn’t appear to be very robust or dangerous.
“So the war, for all intents and purposes, has been decided,” he continued. “The issue for the Russians, from the very beginning, has been, ‘How do we proceed without killing large numbers of civilians and inflicting a lot of property damage. And [Russian President Vladimir] Putin gave very strict orders from the outset that [his forces] were to avoid such things.
“The problem with avoiding it is that it has slowed the progress of the operation to the point where it has given false hope to most of the Ukrainians” which “has been seized on by people in the West to try and convince the world that a defeat is in progress when in fact, the opposite is the case,” MacGregor continued. “So the war itself at this stage of the game could be decided very, very rapidly — permanently — if Putin were to give the order and allow the forces to disregard the concern for civilians and property damage.”
Putin appears to have given that order, according to reporting on widespread damage being inflicted on Ukrainian cities by numerous media outlets that are not always focused on the same images and locations.
But MacGregor says otherwise.
“He hasn’t done that. He has continued to negotiate even though he recognizes that the people sitting across from him really are not in a position to deliver very much,” he continued in his Gray Zone interview.
He also said that the Biden regime and most of ‘official Washington’ wants the war to continue in order to harm Putin and his military to the greatest extent possible, but in fact, MacGregor said, based on his sources, not only is Putin enjoying high approval among Russian populations in surrounding countries, but his military is faring well.
“So I think the big problem right now is that in the West, there is no truth, there is wishful thinking. There is this impression of success by the Ukrainians that doesn’t stack up. In fact, the Russians are capturing large quantities of Western equipment, British and American, that are being shipped to them at this point,” said MacGregor.
“The issue for the Russians right now is that everything that is worth controlling is controlled,” he opined after explaining that Russian troops are focused primarily on Ukraine’s population centers and have avoided the central portion of the country because that is the agricultural heartland and spring planting season is right around the corner.

Some of his views are being shared by other scholars and experts, including Atlantic Council scholar Dr. Ben Connable, who did note that though Russia was certain to ‘win’ the war, Moscow’s occupation forces will be bled frequently by Ukrainian resistance fighters.
“In the coming months, Russia could potentially gain control over approximately half of the country running from Kyiv in the north to Odesa in the south and the Donbas in the east. If they are successful, Russian occupying forces will assume responsibility for approximately 20 million people across an area the size of Norway,” he wrote for RealClearDefense.com.
“This would be a daunting task even in the best of circumstances. Unfortunately for the Russians, they face the worst of circumstances for an occupying power. Historical cases of occupation and counterinsurgency suggest an impending disaster. There is almost no chance that Russia will successfully occupy Ukraine.”

The Western media is pushing lies about Russian reverses and ‘defeats’ in order to win public support for an all-out war. It works thus: If Russia is being ‘defeated’ then attacking Russia will be an easy win, right?
It’s an old trick.
Didn’t we all know this a week or more ago? They’d pretty much won the moment the first russian boot hit jewkranian soil. Or do we need yet another expert to tell us to be “sure”?

who is in charge of this, heads should roll
Russia’s slower progress than US-led NATO’s “scorch the earth because what we’re after is underneath it” policy of slaughter is because Russia is also looking for any evidence of western elite criminal activities. All Russia has to do to cause a Constitutional crisis in America is release evidence with Joe Biden’s name on it. Every slug leaves a trail and don’t give him a break, he never gave Russia one, so empower Donald Trump ie. stir up trouble, and make Hillary Clinton’s claim about Russian collusion a self-fulfilling one.
Putin is running a special military operation – to clean out the riff raff that threatens Russia – and he is systematically going after nazis and weapons depoes. He is trying to NOT kill civilians. He has said so, and see this Southfront video:
https://southfront.org/ukrainian-war-of-attrition/
The problem with Putin’s mop up operation is that it is giving Biden and Blinken time to bring in additional arms and cause a stalemate. At any time Russia forces could be ordered to go full scorched earth.
In the first two hours of the war, Russia destroyed the entire Ukrainian Navy and air force. That insured Russia’s win, because Russia has full air dominance, and can bring missiles and bombs down on any resistance to advancing Russian forces. In one air strike with hypersonic missiles Russia claims to have destroyed $400 million of US arms.
What a waste of our taxpayer money!
Any foreigners who foolishly went to Ukraine to fight are put on the front line and are turned to hamburger. They are not allowed to leave country, thus all these volunteer idiots have committed suicide like with the vaxx because they believed the Jewtube narrative.
The teLIEvision is the greatest asset of world Jewry – they can literally get the Goyim to die for their cause by simply lying their asses off.
Putin moved his family to Siberia, Russian staff went to the Urals (equivalent of USAF Cheyenne Mountain) and Putin says he is ready to die. Idiot Biden and Trump want to provoke him further.
OK go ahead and be a drunk cowboy. The only sad part of this unfolding scenario is I can see how both sides leave Israel untouched.
Did the USA deliberately provoke Russia by building germ warfare labs on its doorstep ?
did they also want to put Nukes on the Russian border ?
Of course they did.
Is Cliff Ricahed a poof ?
does Cherie Blair have a huge fat arse ?
Is Boris Johnson a dirty jew ?
yes yes yes and yes.

For that to happen, you’d have to make them roll. But everyone’s stuck butt first to their sofa.
During W W 2 the wealthy jewish areas of London like Hampstead were deserted as all The jews went to the USA, police patrols of the time said as the Jewish areas were deserted it was a really great beat to have. Jewish men would be excused war service as the jewish doctor would sign them off with flat feet short sight poor hearing etc, The TV hit series “MASH” tells of the Korean war and has an obvious Jew named Klinger who pulls every scam imaginable to get out of the army so well known was this phenomenon.
“While the cats away the rats will play”
jews ran loan sharking forcing women into prostitution the razor gangs as they were called would slash any womans face who could not pay the spiv or loan shark and refused to do prostitution.
Churchill appointed Herbert Morrison as Home Office Minister and he saw to it that fellow jews got generous provisions, much extra food which was only available with war ration coupons, was sold at high prices to Christians. Soldiers being demobbed after the war found the local jew now owned the whole street, in fact after the war Jews did so well that they moved out of east London to areas such As Newberry Park Ilford Barkingside etc
Jewish gang leadership passed from Jack Spot to Peter Rachman to Rose Finesilver to the Kray twins. Rachmans business partner Nicholas Van Hoogstraten today is said to be worth £800 milion
The main victims of Rachman were the black families whom Government people trafficked in from the West Indies. The antics of Greville Janners homosexual jewish gangs has not apeared in the press, show business in the UK was run by 3 brothers Bernard Delfont Leslie Grade and Lew Grade known as ” low grade” for his penny pinching, and if any strong arm work or threats were needed the Krays were called in, it was the Krays after the murder of top Boxer Freddie Mills found a Russian Jewish singer named Frank Fruim Abelson, better known as Frankie Vaughan and forced him to open up boys clubs and for this in 1965 he was awarded the CBE, the real reason was a venue for the Homosexual underground to have access to teenage boys, Greville Janner made good his promise and the Grade brothers saw to it that the mildly talented Frankie Vaughan had 80 hit records. The Krays had several top police on their payroll one a secret homosexual was brutal in his use of these young boys and it was the cut up body of a young lad found in a suitcase connected to record producer Joe meek which led to the gradual undoing of the boy trafficking. The Americans claim the “all around sound” was the product of Phil Spectre, this is not so it was the London record producer Joe Meek who had singers sing into a toilet bowl. Much publicity appeared over the Muslim gangs in the North of england with the rape and at times murder of hundreds of underage and vulnerable girls, the ful story of the greville Janner jewish gangs has yet to come out,
