!!!!! WARNING!!!!!! The following consists of 17.28 mins of concentrated kremkrapp, with bells on it:
‘I think the point [of the aid bill] is to conceal from the American public, and the wider world, the immense failure of this policy that is this proxy war with Russia in Ukraine’ Colonel Douglas MacGregor rubbishes the US’s aid bill for Ukraine.
Macgregor is one of the most fluent liars that the kremlin have representing their interests in the US.
Intelligent, lucid, with gravitas and a military background, it makes him the type of interviewee that TV producers seek out.
If you ever wondered what Alex Jones might sound like if he had a military background, look no further.
Macgregor found a vile Scottish shill to treat him with great respect, as if what he is saying has credibility.
Conspiracy theorists live in a world of their own. They “know” they are right. It’s a form of mental illness. Some of them are psychopathic too.
Even Trumpkov would probably baulk at hiring a crazed hag like Moscow Marge, but JDV; a trained lawyer, WILL likely be in the frame. As for Macgregor, he is already being talked of as potential Def Sec.
The distinguished Macgregor clan should disown this foul scum.
As for Oliver: what a shithead! His image suggests far left, but he’s actually something rather different.
What Macgregor has said about Ukraine:
(Wiki)
“In 2014, after the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation and during a conflict with Ukraine over its eastern parts, Macgregor appeared on Russian state-owned network RT where he called for annexation of Donbas and said residents of the region “are in fact Russians, not Ukrainians, and at the same time, you have Ukrainians in the west and in the north, who are not Russians”
“After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Macgregor appeared on three Fox News programs in February and early March to speak in support of Russia’s actions. Three days after the war began, he said “The battle in eastern Ukraine is really almost over,” and predicted “If [Ukraine] don’t surrender in the next 24 hours, I suspect Russia will ultimately annihilate them.” Macgregor said he believed Russia should be allowed to seize whatever parts of Ukraine it wanted. In his second appearance, he revised his prediction: “The first five days Russian forces I think frankly were too gentle. They’ve now corrected that. So, I would say another 10 days this should be completely over… I think the most heroic thing he could do right now is come to terms with reality. Neutralize Ukraine.” After one of his appearances, Macgregor’s comments were characterized by veteran Fox News Pentagon correspondent Jennifer Griffin as “distorting” and “appeasement” and that he was being an “apologist” for Putin. After Griffin’s remarks, Tucker Carlson — who hosted Macgregor on two successive nights — remarked, “Unlike many of the so-called reporters you see on television, he is not acting secretly as a flack for Lloyd Austin at the Pentagon. No, Doug Macgregor is an honest man.” Trey Gowdy, another Fox News host who interviewed Macgregor, said his viewpoint was “stunning and disappointing”.
“Russian state television channels RT and VGTRK broadcast excerpts of Macgregor’s second Carlson appearance, which included a characterization of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a “puppet,” that Russian forces had been “too gentle” in the early days of the invasion and that Russian president Vladimir Putin was being “demonized” by the United States and NATO. His opinions on Russia and Ukraine have caused controversy, with some including Liz Cheney describing Macgregor as being a member of the “Putin wing of the GOP.”
In 2020, Trump attempted to make him US Ambassador for Germany, but it was stalled in the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
“…he called for annexation of Donbas and said residents of the region ‘are in fact Russians, not Ukrainians…”
How can you consider him to be intelligent if he is so wrong about the rule of sovereignty and about basic ethnicity? And, if he does know and just says these things just to help mafia land, this also makes him unintelligent. There are plenty of people in the world who are much smarter and see right through this sack of shit. An intelligent person would know this.
That guy must have skeletons in the closet and I’d love to see them exposed. The FBI needs to dig out the dirt of those Kremlin quislings. Enough already with their brazen propaganda! 😠
I don’t think it’s kompromat.
It’s a case of shared ideology with putler. There could be a cash element too.
If Macgregor isn’t working for the kremlin in one way or another, that would be a real surprise.
A money connection should become obvious in a FBI investigation. But I guess we’re not back at cold war routines yet, when such security checks were obligatory. The West still leaves too much leeway to RuSSia for playing evil games. 😠
The guy is far too unimportant for an investigation, Mr. Gray. The maga gangsters in Congress would be better to have investigated.
