Retired U.S. Army Col. Douglas MacGregor gave his analysis of what is happening with the Russian military in Ukraine. He believes that everything is going pretty much as the Russians had planned in their invasion. Col. MacGregor believes that the Russians will first secure the eastern, southeastern, and southern portions of Ukraine and then those forces will move on Kyiv to the west. That could maybe explain why the 40 mile long convoy from Belarus has been moving so slowly. The convoy could be waiting for the Russian forces in the east, southeast, and south to make their move on Kyiv before joining in the siege of Kyiv. Col. Macgregor also said that once Kyiv is surrounded if the Ukrainians do not surrender Putin and the Russian military is prepared to level the city with no regard to civilian casualties because that is how Russia conducts military operations. For that assessment by Col. MacGregor the Col., Fox News, Tucker Carlson, and Trey Gowdey were called traitors and Putin sympathizers by Democrats and the mainstream media. I hope Col. MacGregor is wrong, but why should he be so condemned for giving his honest assessment based upon his experience as a combat military officer.
