US Colonel Rejects Zelensky As A “Hero,” Host Shocked – VIDEO

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.

1 of every 6 people in Ukraine were starved to death by the Russians in from 1930 to 1933.

Those people were the grandparents and great grandparents of people resisting the Russians in Ukraine today.

Theynare too,preoccupied with the “violent insurrectionists” that they captured after ambushing them after they tricked themminto,them into, into the capitl9l building via a aelcoming police escort to report on code pink now

[fireman15]

So tired of enforced groupthink.

But it wouldn't be so bad if the opinions we're all expected to have weren't so damn retarded.

You have to admire how seamlessly those here who were vax and mask Nazis transitioned to Soros/Biden loving war hawks. One day they are calling people skeptical of the failed vaccines dangerous heretics. The next day they are calling anyone who doesn't want to start WWIII to save a corrupt regime in Ukraine... Putin loving traitors. And how dare you believe the head grifter in the Ukraine is not a superhero.

[Jane Long]

What a farce.....and, the presstitutes just go along with the sham show.

[FreeReign]

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.

Somebody tell the general that most of the "Russian-speaking areas that are east of the Dnieper River" are not very large and already "seized".

[PIF]

He was heroic at the Battle of 73 Easting, but went downhill becoming the guy who planned the destruction of Belgrade and was later forced out.

[Jane Long]

Spot on!

I’ve mentioned similar....about (coincidentally) these folks being the same group, pushing this *new* narrative. Quite the (grift ?) shift.

[Alberta's Child]

The “presstitutes” are the ones who are ORGANIZING the sham show.

[Widget Jr]

One more time.... deep breath...

RUSSIA INVADED ANOTHER COUNTRY. NOT ONLY THAT, RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE.

Ukraine literally has a hundred year history of Russian oppression. Russia is the aggressor. Ukraine has never been a threat to Russia. Ukrainians will not go back under Russian domination without a fight.

The Ukrainians are acting in their interests, not ours. They have as much right to self determination as all other countries have. Russia does not get to decide how nations on is borders govern themselves.

Lets not forget the reason NATO was created was due to the USSR being more of a threat to the Europe than Europe was to the USSR.

[Nextrush]

When I use the restroom it stinks and when Zelensky uses it there is also an odor.

God sees us all equally there are no humans on a higher plane that we should idolize.

[Alberta's Child]

Great post.

The U.S. is the only nation in the world that should be allowed to invade other countries.

:-P

[mikelets456]

I don’t know too much about the actual truth in the Russia/Ukraine debacle——But when I see the media, Hollyweird, Big tech and Dems in support of Ukraine or “You’re a Russian puppet”, then my defenses go through the roof. Something is not as it seems and their reaction is what has my radar running overtime.

[Kazan]

It's shocking only to those that believe mainstream media's propaganda, which in this case includes many on the right that watch Fox News minus Tucker, Lara Logan and Rachel Campos Duffy.

[Theophilous Meatyard III]

They’ve got a score to settle.

[GreyFriar]

He was the commander of C Troop,2d Armored Cavalry Regiment at the Battle of 73 Easting during Operation Desert Storm. And he wrote his own book about the battle “Warrior’s Rage: The Great Tank Battle of 73 Easting.” H. R. McMaster was the CO of E Troop, 2d ACR.

[marktwain]

Here is a link to what appears to be a Ukrainian view of the Russian imposed starvation in 1932-33.

[Celerity]

I can’t think of a single government anywhere on this planet who can I point at and say “They are good people doing good things”

Every government involved in this war is bad and on the wrong side.

-Especially- ours.

Interesting article about Russians living in Ukraine.

Quite frankly, what the Russians did 90years ago, is horrific, it has nothing to do with today, NWO, the Great Reset, WEF, Schwab, Soros, the Chinese, big tech censorship, etc etc etc.

You want to talk about and think about that, to keep the fire burning. Feel free. It’s you’re right.

Me, im worried about inflation, the US economy, our border, the digital economy they want so they can cancel you, the 2 absolute morons in theWhite House, about 520-525 of the most corrupt-incompetent-greedy POSs that make up our Congress.

[PIF]

MacGregor is one of the smartest people on the planet when it comes to military strategy

—
Very doubtful. A surrender monkey. Also because he’s a worm. Being the guy that planned the butchery of Belgrade.

Low ranking officers like this guy are a dime a dozen. Perhaps those generals were right and he was an idiot.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

Hopefully this will end the chapter of a predatory Russia.

I think that regardless of the outcome of this particular conflict, Russia is going to be a different country. It's clear that there is a great reluctance to engage them militarily, but the economic restrictions will have a powerful on the country.

I expect that once this is over, many of the economic sanctions will be lifted, and eventually, Russian energy will again be a driving force in Europe. But, this is going to change the way the Russian government pushes it's weight around. They will less confrontational, but sneakier. Like China.
