Tucker Carlson began his latest episode on X telling viewers why “pretty much everything” the mainstream media has been saying about the war in Ukraine “is a lie.” This
In a brief monologue prior to the interview with Colonel Douglas Macgregor, Carlson explains further and claims it's "likely" that U.S. troops will fight the Russian army.
'The Russian army is incompetent,' they claim. 'Ukraine is a democracy.' 'Vladimir Putin is Hitler, and he's trying to take over the world.' Thankfully, the Ukrainians are winning. None of that is true.
Every claim is false. The last one, especially. The Ukrainian Army is not winning. In fact, it's losing badly. Ukraine is being destroyed. Its population is being slaughtered in lopsided battles with a technologically superior enemy or scattered by the millions to the rest of the globe as refugees. Ukraine is running out of soldiers.
As that happens, the question will inevitably arise who's going to replace them? If the Ukrainians can't beat Putin, who will? The answer, of course, will be us. American troops will fight the Russian army in Eastern Europe. That's most likely. And the assumption is we'll win. But will we win?
Probably not, says former Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor, a decorated combat veteran who advised the Secretary of Defense in the last administration. The US, says Macgregor, is on the brink of a catastrophic war that could very easily destroy us. Few Americans seem to understand that, but they should. Douglas Macgregor is now the CEO of Our Country, Our Choice, and we sat down with him recently.
This conversation is worth hearing.

“We’re going to have to be pushed over the cliff into the abyss, and I think that’s where we’re headed.”
MacGregor feels that the People cannot be told, they must be shown in order to change. Very intriguing. pic.twitter.com/uWH2sJUhEc

We’ve got to start using the term “Neocon” exclusively to describe the engineers of the Deep State, use the term and name the lead Neocons who are responsible for the crypto-Nazi empire building that is pushing our foreign policy. Take your pick, make them into household names.

It is pretty safe to assume everything we hear from the media about the war in Ukraine is a distortion of facts or an outright lie. The war is likely a war of attrition with both Russia and Ukraine suffering huge casualties. Much of the billions of US taxpayer dollars pouring into Ukraine are likely finding their way into the pocket of corrupt oligarchs…the same ones who paid bribes to the Biden crime family. Biden should have been a facilitator of some kind of truce to end this war instead of pouring more money into it and risking a direct confrontation with Russia. Ironic that the same Democrat party of George McGovern that was staunchly anti war during Viet Nam, is now willing to push us into a proxy war with Russia
The rumble copy of Tucker EP18
Hatred? Believing countries should not invade neighboring countries in order to annex their territory is not hatred, but a belief in an international law and order. Its the core basis of the UN.
We have zero national interests in Ukraine
Supporting the enemy of our enemy. Russia is our regional rival in eastern Europe, who demanded we withdraw from Poland and the Baltic's, besides having thousands of nuclear warheads aimed at us.
Zero. Bupkis. Nada. None.
There no national security interests in Ukraine at all. Ukraine is just a for politicians to facilitate the spread of graft.
Astute analysis can’t wait for the fight between the white and black b#@$ pass popcorn
If you feel so strongly in the fight for Ukraine, why aren't you there shooting Russians instead of pounding on your keyboard?
Every neocon should be issued a rifle, helmet, and parachute and be dropped right into the thick of it.
good interview
hope installed idiot biden don’t start ww3
McGregor is a known Russian useful idiot
of course he’s going to spew the bogus Russian lies and propaganda
if Tucker is dumb enough to fall for those lies, then Tucker is a lot dumber than we knew
Your argument makes no sense. You are brainwashed by the military industrial complex to support their endless wars. There really isn’t anything more antithetical to our Constitution or to being an American.
Love the liberal talking point "endless wars".
And Taiwan? So your foreign policy is shove your head in the sand? Very Reaganesque of you.
Right, so do you care about illegal immigration? Are you on the border? Idiotic argument made by idiots
“Why not Scott Ritter?”
I have no interest in popularizing a twice convicted child molester.
I listened to his talk and I was impressed. I believe he is right—we are being pushed into a War in Europe. This could slip into WW III and—if China is pulled in—a major confrontation that could end in a defeat for us. We have never faced a defeat—the blow to our ego will be profound. Following the loss will come the blame game. Who lost the war? That will spark a Civil War and a break up of the nation. The USA could be broken into three nations. We could lose Hawaii, Guam and Samoa to China, Alaska to Russia, Porto Rico to Cuba.
Gov. Whitmer is the one to watch. Four way race.
Democrats—Whitmer/Newson, Republicans—DeSantis/Hallie, Reform-—Trump/Lake, Green/Libertarian-—RFK Jr./The Swami. Result: Trump gets the most votes but loses the five states needed to win the electoral college. 2024 will be 2020 part two.
Biden won’t be the candidate, but it looks like the fix is in to make sure a democrat will win the White House. The deep state just haven’t made up their mind on who it is going to be yet.
Sending American kids to die for a thug regime in Ukraine would be reason enough for Civil War 2.
There isn’t ANYTHING about Ukraine that would require American blood to be shed.
Let Europe’s kids die for that Slavic s**thole.
As usual, you neocon warmongers are perfectly willing to let as many people die as you can get away with as long as it lines your pockets. Your kind disgusts me.
