Oh look! It’s Douglas MacGregor! Telling us that Ukraine is collapsing! Like he’s been telling every single godamned week for the last year and a half!
Can’t you find non-clownish commentators on the war?
Why do you keep posting anything from this guy Douglas Macgregor?
He’s spent the last year and a half telling us Ukraine is 5 days from complete collapse.
And now he’s claiming Taiwan is ‘some obscure island’?
What a gong show!
Regarding the murder rate in the US image, every single data on it is wrong.
The US does not have the 3rd highest murder rate, it has about the 60th (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate) Shockingly high for a rich country, but nowhere near the top..
Then I looked up the number of murders in Chicago, Detroit, Washington, St-Louis and Philadelphia in 2021, and it comes out as 2048 murders. There were 26,031 homicides in 2021 https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/homicide.htm
Remove those 2000-odd homicides (well less than 10% of the total) and the US rank in murder rate barely changes.Why post things that are blatantly false?
Communist Rules for Revolution is a hoax.

It’s good to be skeptical of western state propaganda. But to just regurgitate Tass and RT news is better… how?
What are your pronouns Mr Rainbow military enthusiast?
Well a good evening to you too. Why don’t you leave the keyboard, take a long walk in the park, you may need it, you look a little tense.
You have no idea what I think about anything – except, perhaps, how ridiculous is that little fantasy Mr. Escobar is having about Russia insouciantly crushing Europe and the US militarily and economically in a matter of minutes, considering the success it has had in the war it is already in. Destroying all bases in Europe, all airports, destroying all industrial infrastructure, destroying cities in another continent when it cannot do so in a war on its doorstep in a war it describes as existential.
When the war started, most pundits in the West thought it would be over in 30 days and Putin would be gone
Curious, I remember the opposite. Most people were saying that despite Ukrainian resistance they failed to see how Ukraine could not get crushed in a matter of weeks or a few months. And if western commentators were gloomy, the russophiles were triumphant. If I may I quote The Saker, who for some reason regularly gets reprinted on this blog like he’s an authority on the conflict even though he has been cosmically wrong about it:
February 28
The big story here is the gradual closing of the operational cauldron in the East. Once it it closed, about 10-12 Ukie brigades will have to chose: surrender or die.
Kiev: the city is blocked from three directions, but the Russians have left one open corridor which anybody can take to safely get out.March 02
For all practical purposes the entire Nazi concentration of course in the Donbass is now locked into an operational cauldron.
Long range, standoff capabilities: gone
Air defenses: gone
Regular ground forces: no less than 65% (some say up to 80%) of the Ukie military is surrounded and condemned
Ukrainian disarmament: mostly already done, the Ukraine has nothing to threaten Russia with
the real magnitude of the Ukrainian defeat will become impossible to conceal in just a few days.
the entire Nazi force in the Donbass is not getting resupplied. Not by air, not by sea and not by road.March 9
Dismembering and disorganizing the Ukrainian military achieved in the estimated 24 hours
Closing the operational cauldron behind the Ukie forces in the Donbass: achieved in 2 weeks
Russia basically encircled Kiev.Is Mr. Escobar on drugs?
The way the little Special Military Operation has been going, after what is soon to be a full year, should be enough to dispel the myth that the Russian Army is incredibly competent, equipped with all sorts of unstoppable whiz-bang fanciest equipment, and led by a military super-genius that was popular in some circles… until the invasion of Ukraine.
Russia has its hands full fighting backward, second-world at best, corrupt Ukraine, and it is supposed to be able to take on all NATO member states, disabling all their defenses, economic infrastructure and military installations in the blink of an eye, when it never managed to take Kiev located 200 miles from its border?
And what’s with the criticality of the George Washington bridge to NYC?
