The USA will not be able to prevent Russia from taking Odessa from Ukraine. This view was shared by former Pentagon advisor Colonel Douglas McGregor on his YouTube channel. Daniel Davis/Deep Dive.
“As for Odessa, it was absolutely clear from the very beginning of the conflict that the Russians would advance through areas that were historically Russian and inhabited by Russian-speaking populations,” he said.
He stated that Odessa, like Crimea, was never part of Ukraine. According to him, the West will not be able to prevent the Russian army from capturing the city. If the army of NATO countries crosses the border from Moldova, Romania or Poland, the alliance will have to fight with Moscow. Washington is not ready for this.
Before that, McGregor was already statedHe said that Russian troops could reach Kiev if necessary.
According to McGregor, the Ukrainian Armed Forces were almost defeated in the conflict a few months ago. He also called the idea that Western countries should somehow stop the advance of the Russian army absurd.
