Watch the video (at link), the host gets more disturbed with each comment coming from colonel.
MacGregor reminds me of officers I served under while in the USMC. They are mission-driven and could care less about opinions outside the theater of war.
Long before this Russia/Ukraine conflict started he predicted the onset of it. His prediction came at the beginning of this year.
He argues that the United States teaming up with NATO to push Putin into a corner and that’s one of the major things that has started this conflict.
Back in January of 2022, The Gray Zone reported that Col. Doug MacGregor, an ex-Pentagon advisor, on how the US war lobby fuels conflict from Ukraine to Syria. Washington, DC, he says, is “occupied territory. It’s occupied by corporations, by lobbies.”
“The Military Industrial Congressional Complex,” Macgregor says, “seems to be more powerful than anyone who occupies the office of the presidency.”
Here is what he predicted would take place:
First of all, the problems in Ukraine are not new. We’ve been dealing with them for the last, I would argue, 10 to 15 years. These problems were evident in the 1990s when the former Soviet Union fragmented into various states. The current borders of Ukraine never made a great deal of sense because Ukraine is essentially a multi-national state.
You have in the east, that is beyond the Dnieper River, to the south down to Odessa on the coast, what is really a Russian population. The rest of Ukraine is actually historic Ukraine. It goes back to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and that part of Ukraine is inhabited by true Ukrainians in terms of ethnicity as well as culture and language. Putting this together has always been problematic, particularly because Ukrainians have wanted to turn the Russians into Ukrainians.
The Russians aren’t terribly excited about that prospect and have complained bitterly about it. And Putin, from the very beginning of his presidency, tried to make it clear to anyone who would listen that there were certain things that he would not tolerate as the Russian head of state, and one of those was that Ukraine become a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
He also had concerns about the EU because that was seen as another mechanism with which to integrate Ukraine into the West.
Then finally he became very concerned about the plight of the Russians. Crimea has historically never [been] part of Ukraine and has been part of Russia since 1776, and so he was anxious to relieve that burden on the Russians in Crimea by driving the Ukrainians out, and he did that in 2014. But he also wanted to ensure that we understood that we were never going to be able to use Crimea—the Crimean Peninsula—and the ports on the Crimean Peninsula for NATO naval forces or any other forces.
We didn’t pay any attention. We attacked him viciously. We essentially ignored any of his expression of concern or interest in Ukraine from the standpoint of Moscow’s national security. And we have always refused to acknowledge the Russian concern that NATO is threatening to Russia. We’ve insisted, ‘Absolutely not.’ But we don’t have far to look over the last 20 years at the various regime change operations that Washington has staged to appreciate Putin’s concerns. But instead of addressing those concerns in a substantive way, considering what Russia’s interests are, we’ve essentially said that they’re illegitimate, and the only interests that are legitimate are our own and those of our quote-unquote NATO allies.
So, here we sit. We’re looking at a force of 130, 150, 180 thousand, I don’t know what it will be when the day approaches, but a force that is substantial enough to seize the Russian-speaking areas that are east of the Dnieper River and, frankly, all the way out to Odessa if he decides to do it. There’s not a great deal we can do about it.
“The outcome was decided when Russia decided to cross the border en masse.”
No it is not.
“How do you think the globalists feel now about the bioweapons labs in Ukraine?”
There are BSL-3 labs in Ukraine. There is zero evidence of them being used for bioweapons. One reason being that BSL-4 labs are needed to keep from killing the neighbors. Not that facts ever get in the way of a good conspiracy story among a certain set here.
Because for decades Russia has drawn a line promising that it would not be allowed... just like Kennedy drew a line when the Khrushchev tried to put nuclear missiles in Cuba. Zelinsky knew as every one else did that pushing for NATO membership for Ukraine could and probably would cause a situation exactly like what we find ourselves in now.
Our own CIA with the help of others essentially created a coup in 2014 when Zelinsky was installed. If you do not acknowledge that fact then you will never have a very good understanding of what is currently going on.
It wasn't "our leadership" that initiated the digital attacks on the Canadian truckers and Russia.
It was the TechnoLords.
And it was coordinated in the same way in both cases.
Perhaps it's easier for me to see with my experience in the computer field. I know other computer people have seen the same thing.
You can pretend to yourself that it didn't happen that way. You're just whistling past a frozen bank account.
No it was not decided when Russia crossed the border.

It ain’t over till its over and the facts are that as it stands now Russia is losing.
You sure seem anxious to deny the globalists use bioweapons.
You missed the fact that the globalist plan has failed miserably.
Not sure why you’re so motivated to prop them up, though.
You seem real eager to partot that Russian general who claims they are bioweapon labs.
Apoarently his propaganda line fits your current conspiracy theory. He’s got your back.
No, it was Obama who convinced me there were bioweapons labs.
By the way, if you’ve been paying attention, the “conspiracy theories” have turned out to be true.
You know what you are—you’re a conspiraphobe!
Conspiraphobes have a fairly delicate psychology.
Driven by fear of thinking independently or being different in any way.
Primary motivator is trying to fit in with the crowd.
They make excellent public school administrators or male cheerleaders.
