Col. MacGregor: Ukraine Is FALLING APART As Putin Marches West (Stephen Gardner)

Colonel Douglas Macgregor shares with Stephen Gardner how the F16 jets from Biden won't be of much use and could cause the US to send boots on the ground. Zelenskyy desperately needs to hold Bakhmut in order to prove he can beat Putin and Russia. How did General Surovikin of Russia take advantage of President Zelensky's belief that Bakhmut represented Ukrainian resistance to Russian military power?

Over the weekend President Biden confirmed to Ukraine and other G7 nations that the United States would be offering F16 fighter jets to Ukraine. How wise or dangerous is this move?
1. Russia says Bakhmut has fallen. Zelenskyy says soldiers are still there so the fight goes on. What is the truth and How does the battle for Bakhmut show that military strategy and goals can change during a war?
2. Why did President Putin and his top military advisors realize their original ideas about the war in Ukraine were incorrect?
3. Bakhut has become a symbol of the war. While Ukraine was winning it was a beacon of hope. When Ukraine started losing it was just one territory of many. How did General Surovikin of Russia take advantage of President Zelensky's belief that Bakhmut represented Ukrainian resistance to Russian military power?
4. What does it mean if Western countries think a frozen conflict could be the best long-term outcome for NATO, and why do Zelensky's supporters no longer believe in a Ukrainian victory?

Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban says Ukraine cannot win this war and NATO should be pushing for peace. Many of the top NATO nations balked at his comments. Do some NATO nations see pushing for peace as a weakness or a loss?

The United States Congress has approved $800 billion of US taxpayer money to be used for the Military. The US military spends more than the next 10 countries combined including China. Where is that money going? And why is so little used on protecting our own border?
Putin has called for the top 3 hypersonic missile scientists to be arrested. Is this a sign that he believes the hypersonic missiles aren’t as invincible as previously believed or is it a sign he believes the scientists are slowing down the missiles?

General Shirreff, of the United Kingdom, suggests that Putin believes the Ukrainian people will eventually lose their will to fight, and the West will view the situation as a stalemate, leading to a negotiated settlement. Do you think there is any truth to what this Russian General is saying?
