Battle of 73 Easting

Considered the biggest tank battle since WW2 in which Col Doug MacGregor trained and led Cougar Squadron to win with virtually no losses whatsoever.

This is the veteran whose voice is discarded by the West, whilst the hypnotised masses dance to the tunes of Pentagon and western media narrative.

Too stupid beyond belief, how people can be so.

Beeno. it looks like the same mindset that went on the rampage over vaccines or maybe there was something in Covid 19 control mechanism that conditioned minds of people and turned them into obedient robots.

Almost like the story of Pied Piper of Hamlin, whose enticing music led the rats and later children into the sea.

On 26 February 1991, cavalry troops of "Cougar Squadron," the 2nd Squadron of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment, charged out of a sandstorm during Operation Desert Storm and caught Iraq's Republican Guard Corps in the open desert along the North-South grid line of a military map referred to as the "73 Easting." Taken by surprise, the defending Iraqi armor brigade was swept away in salvos of American tank and missile fire in what became the U.S. Army's largest tank battle since World War II. Douglas Macgregor, the man who trained and led Cougar Squadron into battle, recounts two stories. One is the inspiring tale of the valiant American soldiers, sergeants, lieutenants, and captains who fought and won the battle. The other is a story of failed generalship, one that explains why Iraq's Republican Guard escaped, ensuring that Saddam Hussein's regime survived and America's war with Iraq dragged on. Certain to provoke debate, this is the latest book from the controversial and influential military veteran whose two previous books, Breaking the Phalanx and Transformation Under Fire, are credited with influencing thinking and organization inside America's ground forces and figure prominently in current discussions about military strategy and defense policies. Its fast-moving battle narrative, told from the vantage point of Macgregor's Abrams tank, and its detailed portraits of American soldiers, along with vivid descriptions of the devastating technology of mounted warfare, will captivate anyone with a taste for adventure as well as an interest in contemporary military history.

This what the former Indian Ambassador to the the UN was claiming 7 weeks ago:

Former Ambassador

THE Ukraine war has entered a crucial phase with the Russian army on the verge of a breakthrough in the eastern province of Donetsk. At present, only half of the province is under Russian control.

Media reports suggest that soldiers from the Russian mercenary, Wagner Group, and the Russian army have surrounded the strategically important city of Bakhmut in Donetsk. Some reports claim that eastern Bakhmut has already fallen to the Russians, and it is a matter of time before the western part of the city also slips out of the hands of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s forces.Even American newspapers such as The New York Times and The Washington Post have lately changed their tone, admitting the possibility of significant advances by the Russian army, including the takeover of Bakhmut in the foreseeable future.

If that happens — and there is a fair chance it might — important Ukrainian towns and supply lines would be exposed to the Russian army, in addition to the Russian takeover of Donbas. After that, the Russians, who already control around 20 per cent of the eastern and southern Ukraine, will likely try to take whatever they consider important for their security, possibly including Odesa, and establish a large demilitarised zone in central Ukraine

… …

Embarrassingly wrong.

And here is a summary of Douglas McGregor on Fox in Mid March:

‘ DOUGLAS MACGREGOR (GUEST):  Well, the Ukrainians are being crushed. Even The Washington Post and The New York Times are now finally beginning to print the truth. Their casualties are horrific. We have effectively seen the Russians destroy three separate armies built by the Ukrainians. And everyone is beginning to wonder what's really happening. 

The truth is coming out that this war was not started by Russia. That Russia begged us not to try and drag Ukraine into NATO. We ignored Russia. And Russia made it very clear that they were going to defend their national interest. All they wanted was neutrality for Ukraine. ’

…

Embarrassingly wrong. Find somebody more credible to quote..in the meantime the Wagner Division leader is slating Russian leadership.

Dishonest and deceitful characters hate the truth.

How do you determine if he is wrong when the lies of western media are so clear and obvious?

Egos have been fed with lies and more lies and lying will continue to snowball.

I wonder what they will say when it all (the truth) manages to seep through the cracks.

Two months ago he said the Ukranian Army is being crushed….clearly they aren’t being crushed or Bakmut would not still be in contest. 

Stop already. Russia has been trying for 15 months to subdue a second tier military, protected by no significant natural barriers. Their reputation has taken a massive knock….they will never be viewed the same way they were, even if they eventually subdue the brave Ukrainians.

"a second tier military, protected by no significant natural barriers. "

Just shows how ignorant your knowledge is and where you parrot your narrative.

No, it is NOT a second tier military force, it is Slavs primary fighting against brother Slavs whose fathers and grandfathers belonged in the mighty Red Army that finished off Germany in Russia and Japanese Imperial Army in Manchuria. Also since 2014, NATO has been training and stock piling weapons there, and Russia was pathetically naive and trusting, relying on 2 treacherous fake "Minsk" agreements which were cunningly used as a smokescreen (admitted by Angela Merkel). This is the underlying and subtle plot to try weaken and threaten the security of Russia...this is the real reason behind this civil war.

'Natural barriers"...well there might not be natural barriers, but since the coup in 2014, far Rightists have been building heavy fortifications all over the Donbass, with Bakhmut being the most fortified. Also Ukraine soil when wet has 6 ft in mud...it is a very rich soft blackish soil (ideal for crops of wheat, sunflower and other crops ).

Heavy military vehicles, especially tanks are rendered almost useless under such conditions.

The only difference between the military is the manpower and weapons. Russia has plenty of both (don't worry they have). Poor Ukrainians have nothing left, except that the west keeps pouring them in as if their lives depend on it. That's why they are prepared to spend such vast amounts on it.

This conflict would have ended much sooner if USA and NATO had stayed out of it.

I'd rather draw my conclusions from several proven war veterans who have nothing to gain to be honest and tell it as it is.

Doug MacGregor and Brian Berletic are men with courage and integrity and there are others too that can see through the wicked schemes of the Neo Cons and over promoted generals and hierarchy who are arse kissing sycophants with political ambitions who benefit from the sale of weapons.

We need a world of freedom where all countries are respected to live, trade, and rule what suits their choices , cultures and preferences without any power interfering for financial control and power. Equity and respect to all. Get rid of delusions of grandeur and superiority that the West thinks they are...China has already proved that, and yes China has never been a war monger and they don't want war. Neither did Russia until threatened...they have vast land and untapped resources and have a culture over many centuries that they treasure and want to keep.

I'm ashamed of cultures, that I once treasured but have since discovered that they are sullied with many hidden evils. God sees through all our facade and hypocrisy.

We need to turn or burn.

And now we have a skollie from Woodstock posting in his intellectual input, showing his depth of thought patterns.

Stalin was Georgian you uneducated brainless idiot.

Russian primary strategy is not to take land unless for strategic positions but to kill and destroy enemy and equipment...

No. The Russian primary strategy was to swiftly occupy Ukraine and therefore acquire strong terms in the following negotiations (trading occupied land for the russian conveited provinces)

It failed.

The attritional approach is failure in advance. As very often, globalists stay away from the relationship between capital and war.

As a consequence of the USD, Russia is funding the war effort against itself.

The US of A keep emitting new dollars and those dollars (that come first with no counter value) find value when buying stuff like manufactured goods from China or natural resources from Russia.

Going the attrition way when the enemy has access to your own resources is planned failure. The more Russia destroy on the enemy's side, the more the enemy compensates by tapping into Russia's resources.

Attrition relies on keeping resources segregated. Which Russia cant.

The western side will never run of resources before they extinguish russian resources.

As to manpower, it is irrelevant. Globalists wont blink if it means throwing all the ukranian youth (and more) to the grave. Russia will run out of people before the other side.

Utter nonsense...Kolmanskop is coming, Hahahahahaha

So utter non sense that Russia at the moment is moving around bombers with nuclear loadouts and try to provoke NATO into an aggression act so to justify the use of nuclear weaponry.

Mind you, NATO already is involved (US special forces are on the ground) yet the meddling is not open enough to justify the use of nuclear weapons, since in the russian narrative, Russia is winning the war.

Life is cool for liberal minded people.

For simple minded people, that is a different story.

I hope Rosa gets a call-up.

Here comes the s atanist again, living side by side with Hitler these Ukro fascists.
