The Three Colonels

The title, of course, is a play on "The Three Tenors."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Tenors
But it does refer to three very real retired colonels, all of whom had distinguished careers in the U.S. Army.
Here they are:

Col. Richard Black

Col. Douglas MacGregor

Col. Larry Wilkerson

In particular

What do those three men, all of about the same age, have in common besides being retired U.S. Army colonels?
All three are opposed to our support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.

(For people with experience in the intelligence community who feel likewise, see

Why do these seven people, with extensive experience in either the military or the intelligence community, 
have such a different point of view than so many politicians and media figures?
For example, 
Max Boot 
Josh Rogin 
Bill Kristal 
Victoria Nuland.

I think the difference in background should be obvious.
Who has America's best interest in mind?
I know my opinion on that.

Why do those four people named above hate Russia so much?
That shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Comment from Keith Harbaugh:

I am sure those 80-year-old retired colonels got some things wrong, or at least imperfect, in their remarks.
But the very important point is this:
Why on earth are we risking nuclear Armageddon over, God help us, Ukraine?
I think the answer is extremely clear:
It's the Jews, stupid.

One might ask:
Why did Victoria Nuland care so much about who controlled Ukraine?
I don't think the average American cared that much.
