Transcripts

Putin for whatever reason has been

extraordinarily tolerant of all sorts of

insanity on the Ukrainian side and he's

now announced that there will be no

negotiations with KF so if there was any

chance for a successfully negotiated

settlement of matters between Russia and

uh Ukraine at this point with the zinski

regime that's over and of course all of

this goes back to Nato you have to stop

and ask yourself the question watching

Ukraine and Its Behavior why would we

want a rogue State like that inside the

alliance right and again this this

belies the the sort of or reveals the

lie about the alliance it was always

supposed to be defensive it's been

turned into a trojan horse for American

offensive operations correct I I don't

know that most Europeans want to sign on

for that this is Colonel Douglas

McGregor the former senior advisor to

the US Secretary of Defense the colonel

has been one of the most sought-after

voices regarding the war in Ukraine and

he's argued that this ICT has been

completely mishandled by the West the US

and NATO allies exacerbated the

situation by providing Ukraine with

Military Support which only prolonged

the war and caused significant

destruction without a clear path to

resolution now whether you agree or not

with this perspective they reflect a

broader debate about Western involvement

in global conflict and the potential for

different approaches to resolving this

crisis Ukraine clearly believes

defending itself and even taking a more

oppositional stance is the best path

forward and its recent surprise stack on

Russia's border and advancing into parts

of the Kirks region Drew significant

attention ground news found nearly 130

sources covering this from across the

world and with a simple scroll through

their list of Articles and convenient

tags giv me contacts on each outlet I

can compare the world's reaction to

Ukraine's Invasion Pakistan is leading

with Putin's claims that this attack is

simply to improve Ukraine's negotiating

position while the key independent is

highlighting the Us's ongoing support

telling Putin to get the hell out if

he's so concerned about K we'll ask for

Colonel McGregor's thoughts on that

later but as you know by now I've lost

trust in the media from political

leanings to corporate interest the same

news story as we just saw can be covered

very differently depending on the

publication's agenda for someone who

channel now let's join Colonel McGregor

in the studio to learn the latest

updates from Ukraine well everyone as

always very honored to have Colonel

Douglas McGregor join us here in studio

today Colonel we have some very

complicated geopolitical issues we're

looking at right now and we're going to

start with Russia Ukraine and the big

news right now is zalinsky has confirmed

that they are making an offensive move

now in the Kurtz region of Russia and I

want to get your take in what you think

of this new move from Ukraine and how

this war is going right now well first I

think it's important to understand that

this incursion into the region that we

usually refer to as kers into that area

is not a major military event at all I

think the mainstream media is playing

this up as though it's the you know the

the German Advanced Vanguard or

something is broken through and will be

on the channel in a few days I mean this

is nonsense right the the Ukrainian

forces that broke through started out

with a th000 and then it added another

2,000 or 3,000 or 4,000 I think we

provided them with some satellite based

reconnaissance that pointed to an area

that was very lightly defended and they

thought they could break through their

real objective seems to have been to

capture the K nuclear power plant that

has failed obviously they did damage the

cooling system uh but that seems to be

under repair and so there's no danger of

a meltdown at this point I think it's

more of a more of an irritant and an

annoyance than anything else and then of

course a public relations ploy to try

and create the illusion that there's

something left in the ukrainians that

they have some fight in them and we

should continue to sort of throw our

money into the black hole called Ukraine

it it's ridiculous uh I I don't wouldn't

pay too much attention to it except for

a couple of things we now have some

credible reports that the ukrainians are

using chemical weapons and it's

precisely looks as though these are 155

mm shells the standard artillery round

for NATO okay with chemical Warheads

that contain chlorine gas wow that

chlorine is pretty nasty stuff for a

whole range of reasons not the least of

which is when it reaches the ground it

sinks into the Earth and poisons the

area for years well so this is more than

just the usual mendacity this is this is

dangerous and and crazy and of course it

it contravenes international law we

outlawed the use of chemical weapons a

long time ago of course that hasn't

stopped the ukrainians and we've already

seen them Target civilian areas while

they were plowing their way into Russia

again all of this is not really covered

in the mainstream media the way it

should be that in 1991 when the

operations began against Iraq prime

minister Margaret Thatcher pointed to

the nuclear excuse me to the chemical

weapons in Saddam Hussein's hands right

and she made it very clear that if he

was contemplating using those that he

could then expect a nuclear response

from Britain so you know I wouldn't

exclude any possibility at this stage

but I think this is probably the last

straw for Putin okay Putin for whatever

reason has been extraordinarily tolerant

of all sorts of insanity in the

Ukrainian side and he's now announced

that there will be no negotiations with

KF so if there was any

chance for a successfully negotiated

settlement of matters between Russia and

uh Ukraine at this point with the zinsky

regime that's over yeah we've seen um

even CNN's reporting that you know Putin

vows to kick out the enemy out of Russia

as Ukrainian crossb incursion expands to

dozens of villages and I think that's

something that a lot of people don't see

in mainstream media is the fact that you

know even a lot of these Russian

Villages and you know the brutal Warfare

we know we always hear one side you know

it's the ukrainians that that are

suffering but there's so many casualties

on the Russian side as well and innocent

lives being um you know torn and I know

you were familiar with the work of

Patrick Lancaster who's on the ground

you know covering this and really on the

grounds trying to report this war that

has you know certainly not been going on

for two years but you know really

started back you know well over a decade

ago Colonel I want to know what what do

you feel you know where we are in this

war and how long uh this will continue I

mean you said this is potentially a

breaking point for Russia that that

Putin most definitely is going to

respond is is this going to be really a

turning point do you think think in this

in this conflict I think it's probably a

significant event in so far as it is

persuaded Putin that he he has to deal

directly with KF that is he's going to

have to launch an offensive that that

goes toward the capital and ultimately

removes this regime if if it's not

removed then at least it will flee to

some other location and remember sensy

has pleaded over and over and over again

for a no-fly zone over the area over

Ukraine well that's not going to happen

that's possible Right but I hear uh in

the background in Washington discussions

again about creating some sort of

Enclave for the fleeing zalinski

government in Western Ukraine with labov

as the alternative Capital which just

across the border from Poland right so I

think that could be under consideration

I don't know I mean these it's hard to

sort you truth from fantasy and there's

a lot of fantasy right now because we're

we're in no position to intervene being

in this conflict far from it we're very

focused now on the Middle East with

whatever assets we've got but most of

the ground force in the army that can

fight is sitting along that border

between Poland and Lithuania lvia

Estonia and Russia and some down in

Romania but it's not enough to make any

difference in a collision with 800,000

Russian troops in Ukraine right um

Colonel what do you think with the

future election having here in the

United States I mean I think we've got

really two uh paths that we could

potentially go if if Trump does win the

re-election there all signs point that

he is going to be able to you know try

certainly try in his best to sort this

war out as soon as possible you know he

has famously said that he's going to you

know be able to resolve this conflict

before inauguration day however if the

Democrats are able to win I think that

you're going to go you know probably a

continuation of the Biden strategy of

just pouring money into this war and you

know the continuation potentially even

getting NATO involved at some point uh

what do you see the future as far as how

this us election is going to play in the

future of this war think the first thing

that's important for everyone to

consider is H who is surrounding

president Trump the last time around he

didn't seem to grasp the importance of

personnel as policy okay and he

appointed repeatedly people to high

office that did not agree with him who

actively subverted him and and frankly

prevented him from doing very much that

that he wanted to do right now that's

his fault he picked them and once they

demonstrated who they really were he

didn't fire them so it raises serious

questions about his judgment okay

secondly uh you know he he would go to

rallies in 2016 and every rally he

attended there was this thundering

response build the wall build the wall

build the wall right so everyone's

expectation was that based on his

rhetoric and and what was said at the

rallies that as soon as he got into

office he would immediately go after the

Border shut it down build the wall

police it effectively what did he do he

went after Obamacare I I think people

need to then as I said listen carefully

but also step back and and judge what

happened at the time and understand that

what they're hearing may not at all be

what happens okay and he still has

people like uh Pompeo within his

orbit Robert O'Brien is acting as his

principal National Security advisor

whether he'll end up as Secretary of

Defense or something I don't know you

Tom Cotton Senator cotton from Arkansas

who very much wants to be president but

certainly is willing to take over the

Department of Defense and he's been

beating the drums and leading the charge

with millions of dollars behind him from

APAC right for war with Iran forever

right and all of these people have

unreasonably bellicose views towards

Russia it doesn't make any sense and

China for that matter correct so if

that's what you want well by all means

vote for president Trump right but if

it's not what you want then you need to

think carefully about the Alternatives

now as far as Harris is concerned I

don't know why anybody would pay any

attention to anything the woman says uh

she's obviously got some smart people

writing for her now right but she can't

think on her on her own she can't stand

on her own two feet and say anything

that makes any sense she can't present a

coherent policy picture of anything so I

don't think Camala Harris represents the

people who are actually behind her I

think she's just a facade she's there to

convince people to vote for her but she

doesn't represent what's likely to

happen okay if you if you re reelect

Biden in H Harris Forum the same people

have been bankrolling everything over

there to this point the same wealthy

figures hedge fund managers billionaires

who desperately want our borders to be

open who want to destroy our national

identity and culture and so forth

they're going to be running the show

they will continue to fight the war in

Ukraine now what will they do in the

Middle East it's it's anybody's guess

but I don't see them abandoning Israel

con contr a popular belief no so right

now if you look at those two candidates

I'd say that they are two wings of the

same uni party uh one is on the left and

one is on the right the only man out

there who is remotely independent and

capable of doing anything differently is

RFK Jr right now what he's going to do I

don't know but I mean I think he's

decided to stay in the race and I think

he is somebody who has got answers I

hope he gets on the debate stage if he's

on the debate stage with the other two

it it's a no contest because he's he's

studied the issues he has a grasp on the

on the matter and he has answers the

others just have a slogan earing and

sound bites to offer right yeah it's an

interesting one I I mean I I would love

to see RFK on that debate platform he

definitely should be there but I I I

like the one Insight that you said is

that it's two wings of a unip party and

that is a problem right now in the

United States is very much you know we

know this military-industrial complex

controls a lot of things in Washington

there's a lot of effort for continuing

of this War I think this proxy war with

Ukraine is you know the the the whole

intention really was to weaken Russia

you know it was all about leveraging

Ukraine in in an effort to weak Russ

more than that it was basically to

destroy Russia and to put Russia under

control Black Rock which is what's

happening in Ukraine right now zinski is

selling selling off Ukraine to the

highest biders in the west Black Rock

like organizations who want to go in

there and strip out whatever Ukraine has

I think the idea was let's defeat Russia

and then strip Russia of her mineral

resources her agricultural resources her

capabilities and then divide the Divide

Russia into a set of sort of vassel

states right it's all failed miserably

there was no chance of that happening

but it's it's interesting that people in

Washington would think in those terms of

course they dress it up in all the sort

of meaningless language about democracy

which in Washington means uh if you

agree with me uh you have free speech if

you don't there's no free speech so so

much for democracy it's going to be very

interesting to see how this continues I

mean um are you optimistic at all that

there's going to be any resolution to

this conflict I mean do we see this

ending sometime in 2024 are we really

looking at americ America's Next Forever

War that's just going to be this money

pit like you said a black hole that we

continue to send our you know us tax

dollars to well let's let's keep this in

mind there's a hell of a lot that can

happen over the next 90 days uh we may

well see a major war in the Middle East

I'm amazed at the ability of the

Iranians to restrain themselves despite

incredible provocations I'm amazed that

not more has happened given the

Relentless attacks on Gaza that result

in people being killed every day and

people are now suffering with disease

and every imaginable ailment that you

would expect when everything is

destroyed in terms of infrastructure so

I I don't see how we actually avoid a

major war in the Middle East I and we

are obviously contributing to it because

we're sending more and more Firepower in

that direction indicating that we don't

really care about a negotiated

settlement we're we're doing what

Netanyahu wants people to talk about a

breach between Washington to Netanyahu

must be smoking some crack because I

don't see any breach right I think they

may say that to try and soften the blow

but the truth is that Netanyahu is in

control of our Armed Forces he's calling

the tune I think he's going to get his

War unfortunately we're going to be

dragged into it how long it lasts is

anybody's guess I I don't have an answer

but the point is I think that's probably

coming now when you go back to Ukraine

that's a different animal because there

is a real possibility that the

government governments in Western Europe

are overthrown that these globalists are

sent packing right and you get new

governments new regimes and they say

that's enough we've had enough we want

an end to this I think that's in the

offing in Germany it hasn't happened yet

but I think it's coming it's well

underway in France certainly underway in

Great Britain to some extent although it

looks like they are very much in the

unip parted mode uh so they're going to

have to expel the unip party from power

in London God bless I wish them the best

right what we're going to do is get an

education regarding what the armed

forces are going to do because

ultimately uh you the French army has

always existed to defend the French

state but it has not hesitated to

intervene when it thought that the

French people and the French Nation were

in Jeopardy or being betrayed the

question is what do the what happens in

Great Britain again all of these people

have been systematically disarmed you

it's why when I talk to various

audiences I point out the Second

Amendment which grants us the right to

bear arms is ultimately the foundation

for all the Bill of Rights right all the

other amendments depend upon it we're

armed thank God uh the lesson from

looking at Europe right now is that

nobody's armed over there and they are

at the mercy of these governments and

their armed forces and police you know

the police again what kind of

organizations are they how much do they

care about the people that they're

supposed to police I saw an excerpt from

a short comment made by a policeman in

Britain I think somewhere in England who

was saying that they wanted to prosecute

Americans who were exchanging emails

with people in England on the topic of

what is happening and and theoretically

encouraging the English to fight back

right against this globalist movement in

in England well he thinks they should be

in jail too I mean very shortly and

unless people organize and and demand it

we're we're at risk of uh nobody having

a republic Republican style government

anymore in the west and you you're you

know your notion of free speech will be

completely gone and when that goes we've

had it right yeah I mean it's uh it's

wild and I think going back to the

Russia Ukraine uh conflict right now

what's interesting is you know there's

been over 16,000 sanctions passed

against Russia Russia has systematically

been able to avoid almost every one of

them they've pivoted their economy

they've pivoted you know how they're

dealing with China and trading they've

you know used gold as a is a strategy to

avoid sanctions and the biggest loss

here has really been Europe has been

Western Europe I mean you look at you

know Germany who has built their entire

economy on cheap Russian gas you know

that Avenue is gone you know the the you

know the situation in Germany is very

dire and I and it's uh it's very sad

because I think there's governments

around the world or sorry governments

around Western Europe that have just had

enough uh and the people at least but

you know their governments continuing

this uh this war it's just not well in

defense in defense of the Germans I

would say that historically all

civilizations depend on cheap labor you

can't build a a modern society without

it you know in the if you go back to the

Roman Empire much of that was built on

cheap labor they called it slave labor

it was slave labor right at some point

you you have to have access to the

energy that is critical to the

manufacturer and development of your

country the Germans need it and so do we

everybody does so I think this is going

to stop in other words they say when is

is going to end I think it's going to

end as soon as the government Falls in

Berlin okay I would put it that way okay

at that point a new German government

will come to power and I think the

indications are they'll say we need

peace with Russia right now here is this

is very strange too because if you look

at the Christian democrats in Germany

they're supposed to be the alternative

to the social Democrats and the greens

and others right they're talking about

maintaining this hostile posture to

Russia I don't think think that will

last I think the America the German

people are going to say for what purpose

correct you know how do we benefit and

what does this do for us Poland is

another one uh Poland of course is very

confused the polls on the one hand are

are Torn Between the past and the

present they want to be uh hostile to

Russia but they realize there's no

future in it doesn't make any sense and

it's not necessary they don't want to be

drawn into a war I think they're also

very tired of Ukrainian isation they've

got so many ukrainians in the country

they're turning into an extension of

Ukraine in many places and I the polls

don't like it gee what a surprise uh I

don't think we should be surprised by

that right and again the whole world is

watching us you know this is the thing

that's so so striking about Europe the

Europeans have followed us blindly for

years correct I guess if you're going to

argue who won hearts and Minds after the

second world war well I guess we did the

problem is that we've been on the wrong

road for 30 years and once the Soviet

state system collapsed and and freedom

broke out people said well let's do what

the the Americans are doing that that it

includes education it includes uh

Industrial Development it includes

scientific research social organizations

societal structures big mistake I think

Europeans are going to figure that out

but until they really take a a decisive

turn away from the current governments

in other words the governments are voted

out of office you get a no conf Ence

food nothing of significance is going to

change but Berlin is still ultimately I

think the key to everything that happens

in Europe now some people disagree and

say well the French are always the

bellweather because they're the first to

revolt that's true and I think the

French in their behavior have made it

easier for other Europeans to now stand

up for themselves and defend themselves

but Germany is still the Keystone in the

edifice and of course all of this goes

back to Nato you have to stop and ask

yourself the question and watching

Ukraine and Its Behavior why would we

want a rogue State like that inside the

alliance right and again this this

belies the the sort of or reveals the

lie about the alliance it was always

supposed to be defensive it's been

turned into a trojan horse for American

offensive operations correct I I don't

know that most Europeans want to sign on

for that everyone today was part one of

a two-part series with Colonel Douglas

McGregor and as you heard in the middle

of today's interview the next area of

focus for the United States government

most certainly is going to be Israel and

a pending Regional war in the Middle

East as we see tensions with Iran and

Israel continue to escalate in part two

of my interview with the colonel this is

exactly what we are going to talk about

what are the likelihood that Israel and

Iran will go to war and how is that

going to affect the United States in the

future of our world as always I want to
