Macgregor appears to cite intel sources for his numbers and timetable—and I assume he really does have good sources. He says the offensive will happen “not sooner than 12/10 and not later than 12/19.” It will involve something like 540,000 troops with 1,500 tanks, thousands of other armored vehicles, huge numbers of helicopters, fixed wing aircraft, and bombers. These are numbers he says that have been confirmed by US intel.
I wonder where the colonel gets his info from. As you say, Mark, he seems to have inside sources - probably from his past work in the Pentagon. McGregor also said in the interview that the Pentagon, WH and all the neocons know what's coming too but have absolutely no solutions apart from bumping up weapons supplies to the Ukies. Unless Putin throws it away or the oil price caps really do start to work (yeah, I know), then this is shaping up to be one of the greatest foreign policy disasters since WW1.
And all the while, Zelenskiy's phoning it in from Tel Aviv. This war has given his net worth a big boost.
I just hope it's over quickly. The Ukrainian people should never have had to suffer like this. There were so many opportunities to de-escalate. The whole thing is such a shame. A shame on our State Department and the whole Administration, but above all the IC who runs this scandalous death machine.
Wonder if they pulled Zhukov, Koniev or Rokossovski out of mothballs? I feel for the average Ukie grunt out there. The Mercs? Maybe we’ll intentioned but they should have read some history books.
