My spidey senses tell me that Col Douglas Macgregor will not be welcomed back on Fox News after he gave a rather different take on what is happening amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict that does not toe the common media line. [SEGMENT HERE] Jennifer Griffin was furious.

The first presentation was during a segment with Fox Host Dan Bongino (below). The second presentation of essentially the same analysis was with Trey Gowdy [SEGMENT HERE]. In both discussions Macgregor’s perspective reconciles the disparity between what the U.S. government, State Dept, and corporate media are saying -vs- what is visible.

Essentially, Macgregor is saying that Russia does not want to engage a civilian population and is making every effort to avoid civilian conflict in those population centers. In part this is because Putin knows the Western approach is a propaganda war that would be fueled by what it would look like if population carnage took place. However, if Ukraine President Zelenskyy does not acquiesce to terms, Putin could easily crush those centers with artillery and rockets. WATCH:

It definitely aligns more with what we have seen so far given the firepower that Russia possesses.

Wow. And boom LINK

Did you see Trey Gowdy nodding yes when Jennifer Griffen started saying the Col. didn't know what he was talking about? LINK Jennifer saying the Col was a Putin apologist went too far. That's when I knew for sure she gets a set of talking points from The State Dept & the people that give reporters scripts.

What you have there is a journalist with very bad hair telling an Army Col she knows more about war than he does.

The "Putin Apologist" slander had to have gone out in some DNC talking points memos to get everyone on the same page.

Thanks for posting that. That was a little exposure to Fox News ties to the deep state where alternative thoughts are not allowed.

At the very least that idea is just as plausible as putin struggling in battle.

I just now saw the Bongino interview. This Col may be a little whacked. He said if they don't surrender they will be annihilated. Yet says Putin loves the people and the country-but he has no choice. Yet, he has an overall point. What would the US do if Putin put in NGO's and bio chem labs on land bordering the US?

I think he sounds harsh but his overall point is the occupation of democrats in Ukraine. Did Bongino or Jennifer address the democrats NGO's and color revolution they tried in Ukraine?

And Macgregor wasn’t even apologizing for Putin. He was simply providing his assessment trying to save Ukrainian lives.

Anyone that doesn't parrot what the State Dept/media says is automatically a Putin Apologist.

Bongino seemed like he was like wtf dude.

If the reporters at Fox & elsewhere would REPORT that the democrats occupied Ukraine with a color revolution & NGO's then I would take them a bit seriously.

I thought Bongino was better than that, but obviously money pays the bills. He didn’t want to hear anything he had to say really.

You mean the guy that was all in on the Iraq war then changed his view later when it became popular to be against it. Yeah, let’s listen to that guy.
