Yeah, very difficult to pick out the truth from the opinions but isn’t that always the case? Especially in a war when disinformation and propaganda are tools of the trade.
'We know' that 400,000 Ukrianians soldiers have died...50,000 amputees...'. That's not an opinion, it's a statement of fact. And given that no one outside the Ukraine and Russian military and govts have even a close approximation of casualties, it's probably safe to say his claims are bullshit.
A few other gems from MacGregor. This one came a fews days after his intial prediction
So, I would say another 10 days this should be completely over... I think the most heroic thing he could do right now is come to terms with reality. Neutralize Ukraine.
And a couple of weeks later in March
The war is really over for the Ukrainians. They have been grounded to bits. There’s no question about that despite what we report on our mainstream media.
July '22
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
Sept '22
The Ukrainian army is bled white, tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops have been killed or wounded, Ukraine is really on the ropes
Probably not the most reliable source as far as the Russian-Ukraine was is concerned then...
He also appeared on RT in 2014 and called for the annexation of Donbas, shortly after Russia annexed Crimea. So not exactly impartial either.
