[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 6139448, member: 24302"] No, I saw a number of videos of him giving his opinion on Ukraine's chances. He said unequivocally that Ukraine has no chance and that they were about to be steamrolled by Russia. A year later he was doubling down on his prediction. So far he's been wrong. To me MacGregor plays the law of averages. On paper it looked like Russia would easily win so when they did, and very quickly, he'd look very astute. Harry Truman once said "it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." Nothing to be gained? The Ukrainians are fighting for their sovereignty. They know what they'll get under Russia's thumb. I know we don't like giving them so much money(although most of that went to our contractors) but I'm not going to tell the Ukrainians to just lie down and take it when I know we'd never accept the same for ourselves. If Trump uses hardball tactics to get both sides to the table great. That should've been done by impotent Biden. Putin is insane at this point and the Ukrainians aren't about to surrender to a nut job and suffer the consequences that'll follow. [/QUOTE]
