How Consensus Works
Two Experts from Opposite Backgrounds Agree About Ukraine
Introduction
Getting it wrong from the start:
“Everybody knows…Russia invade Ukraine unprovoked in 2022”
“Everybody knows….Russia’s economy is in tatters, they are taking computer chips out of washing machines to use in their rockets. They have lost a million soldiers. They’re losing. Ukraine is winning.”
This is the narrative that people in the West have been fed going on since 2022. That’s when most people started following it. But I have been following the conflict in Ukraine since 2013. Made 2 trips to Crimea, and a total of 5 to Russia, including Crimea.
I have done extensive research into the ‘root causes’ of the conflict and how it arose. I even use the CIA’s own resources, such as the description of Stefan Bandera, who is regarded by the current regime, installed by the United States in it 2014 coup as its National Hero!
Your tax dollars at work supporting followers of this guy!

Here is an excerpt:
When Right and Left Meet, Truth Prevails
In light of the fast deteriorating situation for the Ukraine regime:
Massive losses on the battlefield
Increasing resistance by the US political class to keep funding the war
Massive forced mobilization of Ukrainian men, poorly trained and ill equipped
Billions of dollars embezzled by corrupt Ukrainian officials
Increasing disarray between US and its European allies, cum vassals
Noted experts are calling out all these problems. These people are dissident experts whose voices have been systematically stifled for years. So to give my readers two cogent perspectives, I’m showing here Youtube video interviews with two people I have come to respect.
Michael Hudson is an noted economist, whose works have been used by both US think tanks as well as foreign governments. He presents the issue from a Marxist perspective—which is why he is persona non grata in the Mainstream Media.
Colonel Douglas MacGregor is a decorated career soldier now retired. While I don’t agree with some of historical understanding of the Soviet Union, he certainly understands Russia’s position on the conflict, and urges the US to back down from its warmongering and get to work for the American people.
Both men deeply oppose US foreign policy and both see the America people as deserving of the attention of our politicians, rather than stirring up trouble in Endless Wars.
In my recent post about the socalled 28 point peace plan, I point out how absurd, unworkable and frankly insulting to the Russian position. Russia is winning and will win. Yet Trump attempts to dictate the terms, as if he is a mediator, rather than a direct participant!
In this segment, Colonel MacGregor likewise points out the fact that Ukraine is losing badly, yet the US in its arrogance tries to pretend otherwise. And worse, thinks it can take on Venezuela. An attack on Venezuela would be similar to Vietnam, and more disastrous.
Conclusion
Both men agree that the US economy is in very fragile condition, and a military defeat could be the straw that breaks the US camel’s back.
I encourage you to take some time to watch both. Many misconceptions that you may have yet to break through will be dispelled by listening to these two, who should be considered ‘Elder Statemen’ of the US, offering invaluable wisdom in a country whose leadership has gone mad.
