PROOF: Former Pentagon adviser Macgregor a blatant 'apologist for Putin'
See last paragraph of linked Wikipedia write-up
RENEWAMERICA — Have you wondered where some of the strangest notions about the Russia-Ukraine conflict have come from? Some have come from retired Col.

Zelensky teaches a lesson in leadership
PETER LEMISKA — Before the ruthless and devastating invasion of Ukraine, hardly anyone in America knew the name "Zelensky." Volodymyr Zelensky had spent most of his adult life as an actor/comedian in Ukraine, but became associated with a new political party called Servant of the People, in early 2018. Many Americans snickered when this unknown former comedian was elected to the Ukrainian presidency in 2019. That election was quickly forgotten, though. Back then, Americans were intensely focused on another contest between an unconventional president and a career politician. But today, the whole world knows the name Zelensky. His defiance in the face of an unprovoked, devastating invasion by a vastly superior force has shown him to be a leader of historic proportion, deeply respected – loved by his countrymen.... (more)
