He expressed this opinion in an article for The American Conservative.
As McGregor noted, there is growing concern in the Biden administration that forces controlled by Kyiv could “collapse under the weight of the Russian offensive.”
He recalled the interview with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny, who not only recognized the effectiveness of Russian tactics and partial mobilization, but also hinted that the Ukrainian troops would not be able to withstand the Russian onslaught.
“In truth, General Zaluzhny is not asking for help - he is asking for a new army.
This is the biggest danger for Washington and its NATO allies, ”emphasizes McGregor, quoted by InoTV.
The promises of the American representatives of the "war party" to help Kyiv, "whatever the cost," are frighteningly reminiscent of "the fiasco of Washington's proxy war in Vietnam," McGregor writes.
“The Ukrainian conflict is not a Call of Duty fantasy.
This is an increase in the human tragedy caused by NATO's eastward expansion.
The victims do not live in North America.
They live in a region that most Americans can't find on a map.
Washington called on the Ukrainians to fight.
Now he must urge them to stop,” the expert said.
In November, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said the United States would continue to provide Ukraine with military assistance, including air defense systems.
