...a rebuttal. Take it for what you will.
This Guy bored the hell out of me in the first 5 minutes with his so called, “rebuttal”, and that’s all I gave him, Just 5 minutes!
I hope you haven’t sent him the $5 bucks he has requested up front, Warrior, because I don’t think he has earned it!
Well this time I decided to follow Rw's advice and form my own opinion rather than skip it after reading your comments. After all RW does a lot of work in providing what he thinks is useful information.
I agree he is boring up to the 5th min advertising himself.
At about the 9th minute he starts discussing the casualties and he talks nonsense. The number of casualties can be estimated with +-15% accuracy, indirectly as I mentioned before.
So MacGregor was right, and he is wrong.
cyprus47975-11510.html#p937202At about the 10th minute he starts discussing the claim that Russia presumably has 300K troops waiting at the back. He doubts that, as I personally doubt it too.(Link above). The only valid point I found so far.
Between the 11-16 minute he tries to counter the argument that the US would be defeated in a conventional war with Russia. This is irrelevant, both from Macgregor's side as well as his, because such war will escalate to nuclear very quickly anyway.
At the 16th minute he starts talking about Russia's concerns regarding nuclear weapons already positioned around her territory plus flying nuclear bombers like B52 near her borders, and claims that Russia's concerns are not serious for various reasons. He sprouts too much nonsense in his argumentation.
He then returns to the issue of comparing Russian and American weapons as e.g. the Bradleys, Abrams, and Javelins to claim that what Ukraine got was not the latest version, so the American weapons are superior iho.
I watched it until the 23 minute...
A tit for tat show without providing his own evidence, but still grading everything as very unlikely.
Well if Macgregor was the only one with the exact same argumentation, then I could accept the "very unlikely" grade. However he is not the only one...
