Colonel Douglas McGregor, a former adviser to the US defence secretary, has said that the USA and Ukraine have suffered a catastrophic defeat in the confrontation with Russia.
McGregor assessed the development of conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East in 2024.
“The conflict ends with a catastrophic defeat for Ukraine and the United States. The war in the Middle East is just beginning, and it will not end when Israel decides to stop fighting. Washington is facing a world it does not know or understand,” the expert said.
According to the former Pentagon adviser, the US is making a mistake by continuing to push NATO towards Russia’s borders. He also noted that the conflict in the Middle East has led Israel and the US into confrontations with the Islamic world and potentially with Russia, China and the Global South.
“The confrontations are signs of a new distribution of forces caused by the rise of Brazil, China, Russia and other countries,” the politician summarised.
We will remind, earlier the Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on national security, defence and intelligence Yegor Chernev said that the latest financial tranche from the United States in the amount of 250 million dollars indicates problematic aspects in the support of Ukraine by the United States.
