Great interview by an excellent military historian.
Doug Macgregor is an employee/contractor of RT News, which is a Russian state owned news agency.
So just yet another paid propagandist that these people post and want us to believe.
The half wit big guy fan club will denounce out of hand any deviation from regime dogma. They would never consider exposing themselves to the explosive history of the area. Their knowledge of the history of the conflict they’re ready to start a nuclear war over begins with the first media shovel full on 2/24/22. Anything that happened prior to that date, they have been convinced is irrelevant.
A Super interview, Cathi. Thanks for posting this.
Macgregor is right about so many things.
One of the points he makes is that the American population is getting dumber. A segment here go out of their way to prove that point...:-)
After teaching as a professor of social sciences at USMA, he was promoted to major . He also earned a place at the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth , where he graduated in 1989. In the same year he was ordered to the 2nd cavalry regiment in Germany, where he was initially employed as a regimental adjutant and from 1990 as operations officer of the 2nd squadron.
He took part in the Second Gulf War as an operations officer ( S3 officer ) of armored units (2nd Squadron of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment). In February 1991, as part of what was later called the Battle of 73 Easting , the unit he led destroyed 70 Iraqi armored vehicles in a battle lasting around 23 minutes without suffering any casualties. [8] He took an unconventional approach, anticipating the movements of the Iraqi unit. [9] For this he received the Bronze Star Medal with Combat Distinguishing Device .
From June 1991 to June 1992, Macgregor worked as a special assistant to the Deputy Chief of Staff for Concepts, Doctrine, and Developments at the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) at Fort Monroe . In June 1992, the US Army placed him in command of the 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division , Fort Riley . He left that role in July 1994 to serve as Forces Team Chief in the War Plans Division of the Operations Section 12 of the Army Staff . In April 1995 he became a Fellow of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The following November, the US Army promoted him to the rank of colonel . From November 1996 to October 1997 he worked as Deputy Director of the Command and Control Battle Lab at Fort Leavenworth, in the same period of the following year in the Future Plans Division (J5) at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) in Brussels .
Under the command of Wesley Clark , he served from October 1998 to January 2000 as Chief Planning Officer - Director of the SHAPE Joint Operations Center (JOC) - for the deployment of NATO forces in the Kosovo War . For this he received the Defense Superior Service Medal . [10] From February 2000 he worked as a special assistant for the Department of Defense at the National Defense University in Washington, DC , [11] later there at the Institute for National Strategic Studies [12] and at the Center for Technology and National Security Policyas a senior research fellow . [13] In June 2004, the US Army decommissioned Macgregor. He is currently Executive Vice President of consulting firm Burke-Macgregor Group LLC . [14]
LOL, a paid shill for Russia who hasn't made one accurate prediction since the war began.
In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Great Reset, Russia, Ukraine & Western Geopolitical Strategies - Col Douglas MacGregor / Jay Dyer, Republican Wildcat wrote: Doug Macgregor is an employee/contractor of RT News, which is a Russian state owned news agency.

You faithfully posted Fauci/CDC data and talking points for months - why did you love bias so much, and need to post it on FR when every MSM talking head was repeating the same content, only to spin around 180 degrees to criticize this content as biased?
MacGregor's content has repeatedly proven more accurate than the Zelensky propaganda.
Months ago, independent analysts and former military were pointing out laughable lies in Zelensky's propaganda and saying the Ukraine had already lost too many men and did not stand a chance against Russia. Some said the war was over in the sense any chance of changing the direction of the war in the Ukraine's favor had certainly been destroyed.
The Ukraine propagandists tell us he's winning. The MacGregor's of the world say he is definitely losing, and the MSM warns that Putin is destroying the power grid. Putin's terrain has electricity, running water and heat. Zelensky's does not.
Putin is fighting the Ukrainian laundromat serving Biden, his family, Pelosi, Schumer and other globalists - the Ukraine provides the excuse for Brandon to send 60 billion dollars and then Z divides it up and sends it back all 'clean'. Without the puppet regime in the Ukraine, the Democrat Party source of funds dry up.
MacGregor probably took on too many of Wesley Clark's crazy left wing ideas.
He knows how the entire panoply of NATO resources are mobilized, transported and deployed. My fear is we are totally mobilized, sitting at our failsafe positions and rather than hitting a barn that errant Uke rocket takes out the 101st command and control? I think we came very close to war that night. This guy obviously has similar concerns. If you look at this jingoistic, destabilizing and threatening mobilization and deployment of NATO assets on the Russian frontier it is breathtaking to behold. Any NATO incursion into Russia will be stopped with theater nukes. It is the Reagan Thatcher defense on the cheap for massively superior armor arrayed against you. Historically, a perfect storm for a Russian pre emptive strike.

The Russian fleet is going down in the Black Sea, not Ukraine.
He also has a distinguished US Army record. Dennis Miller had a show on RT, so did Larry King. Yes, RT is state owned, just like BBC, and Canadian Broadcasting. And I guarantee everyone we see on the news shilling for Ukraine is getting paid by Atlantic Council, WEF, Institute for Study of War, or any of a dozen think tanks. They other sit on the boards of Lockheed, Raytheon, and energy companies.
And then there is the direct US Government control/coordination of Facebook, Twitter, Google etc.
And then good old FTX, laundering the billions sent to Ukraine and sending it right back to DC politicians including McConnell. Think their positions and statements aren’t bought and paid for?
Please don’t pretend that MacGregor is somehow unique in getting paid by someone.
Please don’t pretend Doug isn’t a spokesman for Putin.
Splendid interview!!
I don’t think he is. I think he is straight out saying what he thinks. There are a lot of vets who fall on different sides of a Uke/Russian conflict.
Being American simply doesn’t require one to support either side.
In fact, the whole democrat party, the Biden crime family, the Clintons, Obama, the EU, the globalist McConnell type repubs, all of the mainstream media, CNN, MSNBC, the NYT, Facebook, the WEF, Hollywood, Sean Penn, the LGBT crowd .... you name it, every woke diabolical attacker of American culture is on the Uke side.
They didn’t all suddenly become patriots.
Fox News a Russian state owned news agency?
He starts this interview with the Markale massacres (without clearly naming it, a classic shill's trick) where mortars hit the marketplace, and claims we now know it was a false flag by Bosniaks. All the evidence pointed to Bosnian Serb. There is no evidence that it was done by the Bosniaks at all.
Anyone who starts off a interview that fluid with facts and history is going to keep being fluid with facts and history for the rest of it.
xcellent!
