I was an army colonel,and a trial lawyer and judge for 30 years. Your prep,careful research of macgregor's writings, and thorough direct and cross-examination all made for an EXCELLENT interview. Muy bueno.
He and others in my understanding of the facts and agreements have a good case, but I have no judicial experience. The actual people who are fighting and dieing, most of them, not all, just want to be left alone, have a place to live and a job that can support their families...
You can think about MacGregor’s positions on “culture war” and immigration all you like - on the Ukraine war and Russia he is spot on, and a true voice of reason. I don’t usually trust “military men”, but i really like this one. He is a true historian and very few understand war as well as he does. Our politicians and much of the public ignore this guy at great peril.
*LmAO* A voice of reason you say? That same voice of reason that said in 2004 “I am so proud of our Iraq invasion, I only wish we had done it in 1991” Iraq wasn’t even who did 9/11 so,again, what are you even talking about?
Then in 2020, he said “I want us to end the forever w@r$” Really Doug?!? Because your own actions in 2004 directly resulted in those “forever w@r$” you incompetent dult
@@MattttG3At least he admits his mistakes in the past unlike the western politicians. He knows more about the situation on the ground than the other charlatans.
Colonel Douglas Macgregor is a man of great knowledge, insight and wisdom! You cannot get insight and wisdom from books. It is his intelligence, character, courage and highly versatile life experience that allows him to explain the complexities of our world clearly and correctly. Always very instructive to hear his broad vision!
Thanks God, there're still Americans deserving our attention because they have something important to say and they still think clearly and thoughtfully! Thank you for this conversation. Very well done.
Too bad the interviewer loves his own voice so much, he used up half the interview time talking shit. When you get someone of DMG on for an interview, you let them talk. The sound setup was crap and the interviewer is full of himself
@@grantoldfield3790 Its worth a listen, just forward each time the host goes on a tangent. Ego for sure, he also seemed to disagree on issues but unlike the Colonel had zero facts at hand.
What a wonderful, unexpected surprise to find a two hour conversation between two such insightful, intelligent, and articulate gentlemen. I hope Col. Macgregor will consider doing more of these sessions with Mr. Verbrugge and other accomplished scholars who help us understand what the MSM so adroitly distorts and hides. As others have so often said, you are a national treasure, Colonel, and I thank you for all you do for our country at a time when your gifts of heart and mind are so desperately needed.
Let me suggest you check out the interviews done on the Dialogue Works and Judge Napolitano channels as well. They do new interviews with people such as Col. Macgregor on a daily basis. Favorites include the Col., Scott Ritter, Larry Johnson, Ray McGovern, Larry Wilkerson, Alastair Crooke, Matt Hoh and other deeply-knowledgable, deeply-connected truth-telling experts.

He lied about the holodomor, smearing Russia.. This scam was one of a series of centuries old famines, repackaged by nationalists to the west as an attack by the Russians.
Im from eastern europe. Col Doug is an outsider ignorant who doesnt understand ruz mindset or goals. same way how americans thought they would help middle east by turning them democratic. Ukraines and ruz are same people, who dont hate each other- like he says they do. clueless. Ruz are imperialists who dream to have influence, it has zero sense to "threats". Pootin hates democracies. There is no way he supports west- look what he says.
Colonol Mac Gregor is more than a Breath of Fresh Air, he is providing with wisdom, HOPE. Hope for the future, that is more precious than anything else. Thank you.
Breath of Fresh Air? More like a wet bean fart with his ignorance of Russian history that flows seamlessly into the present day - an autocrat starves and bullies his people who are mere zombies at his mercy.
@@andrenogueira5058 you will find out that what comes out of Colonel Max Gregor’s mouth is the truth, this will be indisputable when Russia dictates the terms of surrender to Ukraine and NATO in the heart of Europe.
I left the military in 2002 , just before the invasion of Afghanistan then Iraq. All my mates went and numberous were killed and injured. I was still quite young and thought extremely hard about going back. I thought hard for months, keeping myself awake at night, all night, every night. I nearly re enlisted but something wasn't right. It smelled bad, like it wasn't a justified conflict that i could justify to myself. I decided not to go and im now very happy with that decision, it was correct. I feel and hope that many young men now will feel the same about this awful, messy conflict in the Ukraine. They need more cannon fodder and i hope the boys sense its wrong and get the hell away from it because its going to be catastrophic if we get involved the ground.
Young people thinking about signing on to any countries military, just need to see 'Born on the 4th of July'. It's only a film but sums it up perfectly.
You very lucky imagine you never came back or came back missing arms or legs for an unjust war. The leaders of today are ALL ABOUT MONEY AND GREED. They use what the old leaders did to make as if they are of the same moral compass but they are not. The old leaders like JFK or Churchill fought just wars and actually cared about their country and people. These morons in office now only look after themselves at the detriment of the contry and people they serve.
US don't get involved because of false information, they made the false information as justification to get involved. Nayirah testimony: a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl testified to the US Congress that Iraqi soldiers had thrown hundreds of Kuwaiti babies out of incubators. The story was used as rationale for US intervention in the First Gulf War, but was later discredited. In 1992, it was revealed that Nayirah's last name was Al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيرة الصباح) and that she was the daughter of Saud Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of the Citizens for a Free Kuwait public relations campaign, which was run by the American public relations firm Hill & Knowlton for the Kuwaiti Government. So they needed a random Arab girl and they grabbed the ambassador's daughter? Surely they expected for the whole setup to be exposed later. Maybe they did not care.

How many Dutch will listen to a Russian expert?
This is the best Douglas Macgregor interview I've ever seen. Even the bookmarkers in the cursor line are thorough. But BIGGEST props to the editor for separating all the cross-talk and making this listenable. They were excellent questions but the interviewer speaks over the guest way too much. The video/ audio editor is the unspoken hero here.
Again Verbrugge is not a journalist. This is a conversation, and Macgregor seemed to have liked it. Finally someone of intellect and knowledge to talk to.
@@mariadamen7886yes, it was a conversation. If it was scripted he wouldn't have struggled to remember names like Surovekin. Free flowing is often most interesting.
It's a very good one indeed as most of them are! The Colonel is a very well informed man that doesn't let many facts get by him. His interviews, by and large, are really not to be missed if one can possibly avoid missing them. The Colonel is a very fine, exceptionally talented, trained and highly decorated American combat veteran. He is well versed in military history, theory and geopolitics. We need to hear from Americans like him today more than ever. His appearances are things I readily go out of my way to watch and I never regret it.
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... This guy is either a total lunatic or paid by Putin .. compromised ? Do they know something about him ..? This interview is basically a Russian TV broadcast in English .. it really looks like a substitute for the RT .. accept they just don't bother to have a single piece of information correct, not even the size of Russian army invading Ukraine 2022 .. 200 thousands sirs, not 100 K .. so the Russian propaganda would be actually more accurate than this
I live in Netherlands, we don't know what's going on in Ukraine. I know because I Search for news outside media.... Europe population don't have any idea of the true
Same in England too. I'm astounded by how dumb the folk here are. As long as they have their nice houses and cars, they're utterly blinded. Frightening
Ukranians are under siege. Population have no say under martial law. War leadership personally benefit immensely from western money and obviously for personal gain see great motive for war to go on. While a core of ukranian society and future; their young men; are victims in the hundreds of thousands, an irreparable loss leading to societal destruction. The western proxy war construct is a deplorable crime that cannot be undone.
Excellent summary and very well balanced with the clarity that the facts from both sides of the conflict brings. What journalism is supposed to do, but never does.
When interviewing Col. Macgregor it probably doesn't pay to prepare an agenda. Better to just follow where his conversation leads and just occasionally agree.
@@JeudePereirado you think he’s wrong in his assessments? What specifically is he wrong about? Or are you just displeased that his assessments don’t paint a good picture for us?

Are you drunk? This is the guy who supported the narrative that the US should invade Iraq because they had wmd's. He claimed there were more Irish than African slaves in the US in the 1700's, he has repeatedly argued against the existence of NATO, he has appeared on Russian state media claiming the US was wrong in intervening in Kosovo and he said Russia was right in invading Crimea in 2014 and that Russia should occupy Donbas. The guy is a Russian shill ffs. You're pretty dumb if you don't see through this guy's act.
@@johnoconnor8453 Col. MacGregor is such an absolute genius it beggars definition. I heard many points where Verbrugge tried to break Douglass' focus into answering amiss or else making Mac look bad by Verbrugge's illegitimate expectation of reasoned responses to badly disrupted by stuttering discourses with subject changes during Verbrugge's tortured excursions into hopefully comprehensible, um, um uhr, ,ah, this, this, it's called, i c-call, it's and reasoned discussion. But , Douglass' responses outclassed his DNA deficient, allele loose, deceiver in the ways of Cain (Verbrugge). PRAY FOR MACGREGOR. Pray to shut down the Enemies' means (by every method of communication) . Pray to keep the White Hat's communications alive, vitally sharing Gods information to every port, everywhere needed for successful operations everywhere for God's PLANS.
Geweldig, Douglas Mcgregor, ben al heel lang fan van hem en luister al sinds het begin van de oorlog naar hem en hij heeft het iedere keer aan het rechte eind gehad. En de kennis van hem qua oorlog voeren en historisch besef is fantastisch. Geweldig nieuwe wereld.

Just Wow! Simply, one of the most comprehensive interviews I have ever watched explaining the conflict in Ukraine, and many, many other things happening on the World Stage. I find myself very fortunate to have found this channel.
McGregor's view of shit on the ground is obviously flawed. He's got a severely biased opinion of Ukraine, I'm relatively sure, that this fool will probably sell lots of books, Using this platform. But the fake news, he's throwing out there is pure crap.
Just WOW! You need to learn to read, listen and think critically. Mr. MacGregor speaks expansively of the Russian Speaking People being oppressed in Eastern Ukraine. I am sure he would say the same for Crimea's 'Russian Speaking population'! He conveniently leaves out the EVIL Russian policies of A. Destroying, eviction and deportation of citizens from their homes and communities and rB. Replacing them with Russians to occupy these areas evacuated by their thugs. The Big Mac, a lowly colonel, holds his superiors in contempt in Trumpian style, to andvance some Pro Russian agenda while tearing away at institutions and principles foundational to America. He (and Mearschimer) whine about NATO, and America as an 'Existential Threat' to Russia. NATO IS an existential threat to the EVIL Putin regime which was allowed to arise from the collapse of the Soviet regime. NATO was conceived born and thrives out of Russia's existential threat to Freedom and Democracy in Europe and America!
Een goed interview is gebaseerd op de kennis van de geïnterviewde EN de interviewer. Daarom werd het dus dit ONGEKEND interessante geheel, Ik heb genoten van het top niveau van denken en met elkaar in gesprek zijn, het wederzijdse respect, alles!
Fantastisch….. dat er toch nog wordt geprobeerd om interview te hebben met Douglas MacGregor…. Om nu ook de HELE geschiedenis te horen noemen… En niet alleen de oorlogszuchtigen aan het woord te laten.. Bedankt Ad Verbrugge.. Dit is wat het publiek nodig heeft, namelijk Twee kanten van deze oorlog en vooral hoe het is begonnen.
Fantastisch Ad! inderdaad top niveau! Ik volg Macgregor al sinds het begin van de oorlog in Ukraine, maar het is mooi om het hele verhaal tot in diepte en breedte (ook historisch ) in één compacte lijn te horen vertellen; heel verhelderend weer....Steekt erg af tegen het eenzijdige Clingendael geneuzel......
@cedthatruth Well, he's my junior, but being born at a time when prescott bU$h was bankstering for hitler and who with son, later potus 39 were among JFK's executioners and who's grandson was an active part of 911 and potus 41, the good Col. whom I respect and I, are on opposite sides of a few important issues. He is, if not blind, at least blinkered to ameriKKKa's genocide and the meaning of its 248 years of slavery and multiple wars, and similarly shuttered to the reality of what communism faced in its birthing and infancy. I would love to debate the past century and a quarter with emphasis on the three decade WW and most decorated marine in his time, Smedley D. Butler. The two decades before and eight since require understanding of the WW's to put into context, and I suggest that a military education does little to facilitate but much to obfuscate that understanding.
Mooi initiatief, op een Nederlands kwaliteit kanaal een realistisch geluid laten horen over de werkelijkheid van zg. onze oorlog in Ukraine… Chapeau Ad!
enormous respect for both mr. Mcgregor as Ad Verbrugge. The tranquility and depth are fabulous. It's a shame that this 'sound' is not widely reflected in MSM.

Hetzelfde met de prikken die er zo nodig in moesten. Als je afhankelijk blijft van de NOS dan zal de toekomst grote verrassingen voor je in petto hebben.
Ad Verbrugge, ik woonde een paar jaar in Nederland ongeveer 1977. Jij was toen nog niet geboren meen ik. Ik heb vanavond net je gesprek met Colonel Douglas McGregor. Ik heb ontzettend veel geleerd. Heel hartelijk bedankt! Ikben amerikaanse, en ik ben ontzettend geintereseerd in geschiedenis, maar wat ik weet gaat niet verder dan 1989 of iets. De wereld is vreselijk gebroken tegenwoordig. Ik hoop dat ik goede beslissingen kan maken voor de verkiezingen straks hier in de Verenigde Staten. Mijn kinderenen kleinkinderen moeten nog een hele tijd hier op aarde leven. Vergeef a.u.b. mijn Nederlands , want het is een hele tijd sindsdat ik het sprak.
Man, if I get to grow old like Col MacGregor I'll be a happy man. This is a perfect example of preservation of intellectual coherence, a proper two-way-convo between an older gentleman and a curious up-and-comer.
You can watch 200 blogs, Documentaries , news reports , but this interview here is THE ONE This would give you complete understanding, perspective, and truth, This is the one to watch -
Nope, Douglas Macgregor may be an experienced military man with an honorable service history, but these days he’s knoiwn as an incompetent and dangerous Putin ally and apologist, known for shit-talking US foreign policy and misinformation about Ukraine. He failed in political appointments under Trump and was removed by Biden. He’s old and his brain is taken by Russian propaganda. His lies are disguised in background knowledge, twisted to deceive people who don’t know enough to recognise the lies. You cannot believe what Macgregor says.
"Ukraine will be finished off by Russian forces in the next few weeks" MacGregor - November 2022. This dude is a laughing stock. Literally wrong constantly
This is why I don't watch mainstream media. Here in Australia the majority of people are absolutely CLUELESS about the geopolitical situation concerning the US, Ukraine, NATO and Russia . Well done Mister MacGregor.
Thank you. Clueless and proud that they are clueless. But their pride in their inalienable right to be a crime victim is unlimited. Essentially defenceless against China & Indonesia, they prefer delusion compared to reality. Not to mention the joint suicide note for battling climate change.
It is rare to hear an American with such broad cultural and historical understanding while looking at things in a sober and unbiased way. Mr. McGregor is a beacon of hope in a very dark and dangerous era, but a candle will not bring the dawn. We need more people like him to take on the elite and their media.
Fantastisch interview, Adrian! Ik ben een Nederlander die al ruim 20 jaar in Bolivia woont, dus ik weet niet goed meer wat er leeft in de Nederlandse samenleving. Daarom was ik blij-verrast om dit interview van jou tegen te komen (en subscribed meteen). Ik volg Col. Mcgregor al verschillende jaren (voor al via Judge Napolitano). Ik raad je aan om meer gasten van Judge Napolitano te interviewen: Jeffrey Sachs, John Mearsheimer, Alastair Crooke, Scott Ritter, Pepe Escobar, Philip Geraldi, Ray McGovern, Larry Johnson, Gilbert Doctorow, Aaron Máte, Max Blumenthal, Lawrence Wilkerson. Ze zijn allemaal, stuk voor stuk, fenomenale autoriteiten op hun gebied (journalisten, academici, gepensioneerde militaire en intelligentie officieren, enz.)!

My late father, an old resistance fighter in nazi occupied Greece, used to tell me about the relief he felt after russian victories in Stalingrad. He always pointed out that 'general winter' and the vastness of the country make it practically invincible.
It's also Russian people. Winters in 1941-1944 were harsh for all parties. My granddad died while liberating Poland from nazis - and now European people are demonizing Russians because we want to defend our country from yet another attack from the West. Ungrateful
Yes both replies are correct. Luring your enemies deep into a vast country will exhaust them and make their resupply difficult, while you can cause them casualties with your partizans. Also hard winters can be a killer for your enemies if they are not used to it and prevent them from retreting in order and regroup.... However, unfortunately, you still have to fight in the end...

nice to see that in the Netherlands there are still some people who have the balls to ask the right questions!!!! and truly and honestly SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH.
The NATO argument is secondary. The Baltic states joined NATO and Russia didn't invade them. Now Finland joined NATO and Russia didn't invade them. That's because Russia didn't invade Ukraine because of Ukraine wanting to join NATO. It did it because of the primary argument: The primary argument is that there was a bloody coup in Kiev 2013/2014 and the new ultra-nationalistic regime that overtook the power with violence made a series of extreme purges. Purge in politics - there were videos with elected members of parliament getting thrown in garbage containers on the street. Purge in media - complete shut down of any media outlets that are not sympathetic to the violent regime. Purge in the ethno-cultural landscape - ban on Russian language and all Russian cultural identity (literature, music, holidays, traditions, etc.). That extreme ethno-cultural purge was the reason the whole Eastern Ukraine (the so called Donbass), where people are 90% Russian to raise against it and to declare independence from the Kiev junta that took the power unlawfully and violently, and launched an assault on Russian language, tradition and way of life. The coup was backed by the United States who called it a democratic revolution. But when this provoked a democratic revolution in Donbass this was called a terrorist and separatist activity. If the West didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards. What followed was 8 years of artillery shelling of Donetsk (and other cities) by the Kiev bloody junta. More than 10,000 civilians dead. And after 8 years of preparation and militarization the Kiev junta was ready to launch the so called by them "Anti-Terrorist Operation" in Donbass, which would've been a bloody ethnic cleansing if Russia didn't preemptively entered Donbass to defend the people from it. Russia didn't invade Ukraine, but entered friendly Donbass to protect the Russian population from ethnic cleansing.
@Agemo.. Very well said. That clown Zelensky. supported by deluded Europeans in the hands of Biden using NATO to get super rich. Biden Johnson Euro want want war.

"Thank you, Colonel Macgregor, for speaking the truth and shedding light on President Putin and Russians. President Putin has undoubtedly shaped Russia into what it is today. What Colonel talked about old Russia. Three Russian generals my father hosted those days, resonated with me. The conflict is between the American army and Russia, not Ukraine. Colonel Macgregor's honesty and integrity are truly commendable. I could listen to him speak for hours without getting tired. Thank you, Colonel, for talking about what NATO is."

Let me suggest you check out the interviews done on the Dialogue Works and Judge Napolitano channels as well. They do new interviews with people such as Col. Macgregor on a daily basis. Favorites include the Col., Scott Ritter, Larry Johnson, Ray McGovern, Larry Wilkerson, Alastair Crooke, Matt Hoh and other deeply-knowledgable, deeply-connected truth-telling experts.

He lied about the holodomor, smearing Russia.. This scam was one of a series of centuries old famines, repackaged by nationalists to the west as an attack by the Russians.
Im from eastern europe. Col Doug is an outsider ignorant who doesnt understand ruz mindset or goals. same way how americans thought they would help middle east by turning them democratic. Ukraines and ruz are same people, who dont hate each other- like he says they do. clueless. Ruz are imperialists who dream to have influence, it has zero sense to "threats". Pootin hates democracies.

Incredible. Yes. Has NO credibility. Incredible.

There's not many men who think like him, he is truly knowledgeable about history and war and very wise 🦉
Through out our history every time we experience un rest on the street s it's the birth pain's and a sign of us going to war
Colonol Mac Gregor is more than a Breath of Fresh Air, he is providing with wisdom, HOPE. Hope for the future, that is more precious than anything else. Thank you.
Breath of Fresh Air? More like a wet bean fart with his ignorance of Russian history that flows seamlessly into the present day - an autocrat starves and bullies his people who are mere zombies at his mercy.
You mean, an old-fart?
@@andrenogueira5058 you will find out that what comes out of Colonel Max Gregor’s mouth is the truth, this will be indisputable when Russia dictates the terms of surrender to Ukraine and NATO in the heart of Europe.
I left the military in 2002 , just before the invasion of Afghanistan then Iraq. All my mates went and numberous were killed and injured. I was still quite young and thought extremely hard about going back. I thought hard for months, keeping myself awake at night, all night, every night. I nearly re enlisted but something wasn't right. It smelled bad, like it wasn't a justified conflict that i could justify to myself. I decided not to go and im now very happy with that decision, it was correct. I feel and hope that many young men now will feel the same about this awful, messy conflict in the Ukraine. They need more cannon fodder and i hope the boys sense its wrong and get the hell away from it because its going to be catastrophic if we get involved the ground.
Young people thinking about signing on to any countries military, just need to see 'Born on the 4th of July'. It's only a film but sums it up perfectly.
You very lucky imagine you never came back or came back missing arms or legs for an unjust war. The leaders of today are ALL ABOUT MONEY AND GREED. They use what the old leaders did to make as if they are of the same moral compass but they are not. The old leaders like JFK or Churchill fought just wars and actually cared about their country and people. These morons in office now only look after themselves at the detriment of the contry and people they serve.
Thank you for your service and your candor. You made the honorable decision.
After Afghanistan, no one good remains in the US military - no one good
US don't get involved because of false information, they made the false information as justification to get involved.
Nayirah testimony: a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl testified to the US Congress that Iraqi soldiers had thrown hundreds of Kuwaiti babies out of incubators. The story was used as rationale for US intervention in the First Gulf War, but was later discredited.
In 1992, it was revealed that Nayirah's last name was Al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيرة الصباح) and that she was the daughter of Saud Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of the Citizens for a Free Kuwait public relations campaign, which was run by the American public relations firm Hill & Knowlton for the Kuwaiti Government.
So they needed a random Arab girl and they grabbed the ambassador's daughter? Surely they expected for the whole setup to be exposed later.
Maybe they did not care.
God bless Doug wow what a man

How many Dutch will listen to a Russian expert?
This is the best Douglas Macgregor interview I've ever seen. Even the bookmarkers in the cursor line are thorough. But BIGGEST props to the editor for separating all the cross-talk and making this listenable. They were excellent questions but the interviewer speaks over the guest way too much. The video/ audio editor is the unspoken hero here.
Again Verbrugge is not a journalist. This is a conversation, and Macgregor seemed to have liked it. Finally someone of intellect and knowledge to talk to.
@@mariadamen7886yes, it was a conversation.
If it was scripted he wouldn't have struggled to remember names like Surovekin.
Free flowing is often most interesting.
It's a very good one indeed as most of them are! The Colonel is a very well informed man that doesn't let many facts get by him. His interviews, by and large, are really not to be missed if one can possibly avoid missing them. The Colonel is a very fine, exceptionally talented, trained and highly decorated American combat veteran. He is well versed in military history, theory and geopolitics. We need to hear from Americans like him today more than ever. His appearances are things I readily go out of my way to watch and I never regret it.
You should spend 10min ti fackt check the blabbermouth mc gregor. Moast of it is lies.
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...
This guy is either a total lunatic or paid by Putin .. compromised ? Do they know something about him ..?
This interview is basically a Russian TV broadcast in English .. it really looks like a substitute for the RT .. accept they just don't bother to have a single piece of information correct, not even the size of Russian army invading Ukraine 2022 .. 200 thousands sirs, not 100 K .. so the Russian propaganda would be actually more accurate than this
I live in Netherlands, we don't know what's going on in Ukraine. I know because I Search for news outside media.... Europe population don't have any idea of the true
What's matter with europe? Insane AND pathetic..
Same in England too. I'm astounded by how dumb the folk here are. As long as they have their nice houses and cars, they're utterly blinded. Frightening
650,000 dead Ukrainians. West will not release the numbers. 8 to 1 Dead Ukrainians vs Dead Russians. Fact
Ukranians are under siege. Population have no say under martial law. War leadership personally benefit immensely from western money and obviously for personal gain see great motive for war to go on. While a core of ukranian society and future; their young men; are victims in the hundreds of thousands, an irreparable loss leading to societal destruction.
The western proxy war construct is a deplorable crime that cannot be undone.
Why do you think the people are NOT being told the truth
Excellent summary and very well balanced with the clarity that the facts from both sides of the conflict brings. What journalism is supposed to do, but never does.
This is a Russian propaganda channel lol
Douglas Macgregor is an exceptionally bright and insightful man. Bless the womb that bore you, Mac!
you are correct it is too bad that the interviewer cuts his answers short and he can't give a proper answer

A response from AI.
Are you drunk? This is the guy who supported the narrative that the US should invade Iraq because they had wmd's. He claimed there were more Irish than African slaves in the US in the 1700's, he has repeatedly argued against the existence of NATO, he has appeared on Russian state media claiming the US was wrong in intervening in Kosovo and he said Russia was right in invading Crimea in 2014 and that Russia should occupy Donbas. The guy is a Russian shill ffs. You're pretty dumb if you don't see through this guy's act.
Let's hope DJT appoints the colonel as SecDef... as he'd be superior it's highly unlikely.
@@johnoconnor8453 Col. MacGregor is such an absolute genius it beggars definition. I heard many points where Verbrugge tried to break Douglass' focus into answering amiss or else making Mac look bad by Verbrugge's illegitimate expectation of reasoned responses to badly disrupted by stuttering discourses with subject changes during Verbrugge's tortured excursions into hopefully comprehensible, um, um uhr, ,ah, this, this, it's called, i c-call, it's and reasoned discussion.
But , Douglass' responses outclassed his DNA deficient, allele loose, deceiver in the ways of Cain (Verbrugge). PRAY FOR MACGREGOR.
Pray to shut down the Enemies' means (by every method of communication) . Pray to keep the White Hat's communications alive, vitally sharing Gods information to every port, everywhere needed for successful operations everywhere for God's PLANS.

Just Wow! Simply, one of the most comprehensive interviews I have ever watched explaining the conflict in Ukraine, and many, many other things happening on the World Stage. I find myself very fortunate to have found this channel.
McGregor's view of shit on the ground is obviously flawed. He's got a severely biased opinion of Ukraine, I'm relatively sure, that this fool will probably sell lots of books, Using this platform. But the fake news, he's throwing out there is pure crap.
Just WOW! You need to learn to read, listen and think critically. Mr. MacGregor speaks expansively of the Russian Speaking People being oppressed in Eastern Ukraine. I am sure he would say the same for Crimea's 'Russian Speaking population'! He conveniently leaves out the EVIL Russian policies of A. Destroying, eviction and deportation of citizens from their homes and communities and rB. Replacing them with Russians to occupy these areas evacuated by their thugs. The Big Mac, a lowly colonel, holds his superiors in contempt in Trumpian style, to andvance some Pro Russian agenda while tearing away at institutions and principles foundational to America. He (and Mearschimer) whine about NATO, and America as an 'Existential Threat' to Russia. NATO IS an existential threat to the EVIL Putin regime which was allowed to arise from the collapse of the Soviet regime. NATO was conceived born and thrives out of Russia's existential threat to Freedom and Democracy in Europe and America!

Well, he's my junior, but being born at a time when prescott bU$h was bankstering for hitler and who with son, later potus 39 were among JFK's executioners and who's grandson was an active part of 911 and potus 41, the good Col. whom I respect and I, are on opposite sides of a few important issues. He is, if not blind, at least blinkered to ameriKKKa's genocide and the meaning of its 248 years of slavery and multiple wars, and similarly shuttered to the reality of what communism faced in its birthing and infancy.
I would love to debate the past century and a quarter with emphasis on the three decade WW and most decorated marine in his time, Smedley D. Butler. The two decades before and eight since require understanding of the WW's to put into context, and I suggest that a military education does little to facilitate but much to obfuscate that understanding.

Jam-packed full of historical information love it
My late father, an old resistance fighter in nazi occupied Greece, used to tell me about the relief he felt after russian victories in Stalingrad. He always pointed out that 'general winter' and the vastness of the country make it practically invincible.
The Wehrmacht lost most of their best troops before winter set in. The Soviets fought savagely
It's also Russian people. Winters in 1941-1944 were harsh for all parties. My granddad died while liberating Poland from nazis - and now European people are demonizing Russians because we want to defend our country from yet another attack from the West. Ungrateful
Yes both replies are correct. Luring your enemies deep into a vast country will exhaust them and make their resupply difficult, while you can cause them casualties with your partizans. Also hard winters can be a killer for your enemies if they are not used to it and prevent them from retreting in order and regroup.... However, unfortunately, you still have to fight in the end...
Fantastisch dit jongens. De Nieuwe Wereld verbeterd in alle opzichten.
Dit zou de norm moeten zijn , Geo politieke zaken vanuit de hele wereld kijk wie Judge Napolitano dagelijks interviewd allemaalvaklui .
Dit ga je dus nooit horen bij de NPO: integere, rustige journalistiek en een zeer goed geïnformeerde gast.
Nee, want zij noemen dit gewoon desinformatie.
What would America do when Russia starts a military alliance with Mexico, like the West wants with Ukraine?
I've said all along, that if Russia or China parks troops & missles in Mexico, that would be the same as NATO in Ukraine.
We'd probably take Mexico and make a lot of problems for the Russians back home.
What a coincidence.
Mexico isn't being bullied by the USA. Russia was and still is a bully. Of course countries like Poland and Latvia and Estonia want to join NATO.
Такого никогда не будет
Sounds like... Cuba...
Colonel Douglas McGregor is a brilliant man, with an exceptionally geopolitical knowledge, also he knows Russian history like no other. 🇷🇺🙏🏻
He’s very biased against the Soviet Union. A lot of the stuff he’s saying saying is just straight up nonsense.
Mr. MacGregor speaks expansively of the Russian Speaking People being oppressed in Eastern Ukraine. I am sure he would say the same for Crimea's 'Russian Speaking population'! He conveniently leaves out the EVIL Russian policies of A. Destroying, eviction and deportation of citizens from their homes and communities and rB. Replacing them with Russians to occupy these areas evacuated by their thugs. The Big Mac, a lowly colonel, holds his superiors in contempt in Trumpian style, to andvance some Pro Russian agenda while tearing away at institutions and principles foundational to America. He (and Mearschimer) whine about NATO, and America as an 'Existential Threat' to Russia. NATO IS an existential threat to the EVIL Putin regime which was allowed to arise from the collapse of the Soviet regime. NATO was conceived born and thrives out of Russia's existential threat to Freedom and Democracy in Europe and America!
@@chrisperez3614Soviet Union is long gone, why we should discuss it now?
The most balanced interview Col Douglasl MacGregor has had, about the Ukraine.
Wow!! What a debate! Thank you both of you. A very entertaining and informative discussion provided by two very able intellects.
Alle lof dat jullie de andere kant van het verhaal en enig juist historisch perspectief over het voetlicht brengen
Of course, the interviewer interrupted the second Macgregor mentioned the Biolabs in Ukraine.
I noticed this too. I was surprised that the interviewer brushed off the issue of bio labs.
Squandered opportunity with this nervous and inept interviewer constantly interrupting and derailing the conversation, what a joker.
I'm so pissed... always interrupting
@@khomatech0by looking at his face you can tell he’s not honest
Ukrainians were preparing bioweapon to rule the world
Werd eens tijd dat een senior als Douglas Mac Gregor werd uitgenodigd om precies te vertellen hoe de vork in de steel zit m.b.t. Russian Special Mission. Klasse interview !!
This is excellent. Time well spent.
Great interview! Col. MacGregor is a superb analyst who deserves great respect. - Joe Frisina BA Pitt, anti-war protester since 1969.
nice to see that in the Netherlands there are still some people who have the balls to ask the right questions!!!! and truly and honestly SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH.
Het is een groot klomp stront...
Truth, you would not know it if it hit you in your face. Your kind has no interest in the truth. You only seek confirmation of your stupid ideas.
This is great! Good job you guys
Mr. MacGregor is always amazing. I will listen to this discussion many times.
2 hours with Colonel Mcgregor 🎉

The NATO argument is secondary. The Baltic states joined NATO and Russia didn't invade them. Now Finland joined NATO and Russia didn't invade them. That's because Russia didn't invade Ukraine because of Ukraine wanting to join NATO. It did it because of the primary argument:
The primary argument is that there was a bloody coup in Kiev 2013/2014 and the new ultra-nationalistic regime that overtook the power with violence made a series of extreme purges. Purge in politics - there were videos with elected members of parliament getting thrown in garbage containers on the street. Purge in media - complete shut down of any media outlets that are not sympathetic to the violent regime. Purge in the ethno-cultural landscape - ban on Russian language and all Russian cultural identity (literature, music, holidays, traditions, etc.).
That extreme ethno-cultural purge was the reason the whole Eastern Ukraine (the so called Donbass), where people are 90% Russian to raise against it and to declare independence from the Kiev junta that took the power unlawfully and violently, and launched an assault on Russian language, tradition and way of life. The coup was backed by the United States who called it a democratic revolution. But when this provoked a democratic revolution in Donbass this was called a terrorist and separatist activity. If the West didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards.
What followed was 8 years of artillery shelling of Donetsk (and other cities) by the Kiev bloody junta. More than 10,000 civilians dead. And after 8 years of preparation and militarization the Kiev junta was ready to launch the so called by them "Anti-Terrorist Operation" in Donbass, which would've been a bloody ethnic cleansing if Russia didn't preemptively entered Donbass to defend the people from it. Russia didn't invade Ukraine, but entered friendly Donbass to protect the Russian population from ethnic cleansing.
You are a delusional apologist for the butcher, Vladimir Putin may you go to hell?
@Agemo..
Very well said. That clown Zelensky. supported by deluded Europeans in the hands of Biden using NATO to get super rich.
Biden Johnson Euro want want war. Destruction of Donbas infrastructure killing up to 20,000 "(90%) Russians"
Ad Verbrugge, DNW, Nederland still sleeping, supporting Zelensky and ruining the economy of Nederland. Promoting USA militairy-industrial complex and Nazi Zelensky....
Ты Ошибаешься в 1 страны Балтики слишком слабые , и Россия тогда была очень слаба
В 2) фины и шведы уже после сво в НАТО
3) у Украины и РФ слишком большая экономическая привязанность была плюс много общих границ
Ну согласен с Донбассом и сейчас если посмотреть ролики про Киев то там везде флаги нацистов и скульптуры Бандеру в общем пропащая нация .

"Thank you, Colonel Macgregor, for speaking the truth and shedding light on President Putin and Russians. President Putin has undoubtedly shaped Russia into what it is today. What Colonel talked about old Russia. Three Russian generals my father hosted those days, resonated with me. The conflict is between the American army and Russia, not Ukraine. Colonel Macgregor's honesty and integrity are truly commendable. I could listen to him speak for hours without getting tired. Thank you, Colonel, for talking about what NATO is."
Eye opening history lesson. Thank you gentlemen ❤
Love ad and dougles ❤
