Col. MacGregor tells Tucker Carlson - “If we press this with Russia, it will reach us here in the US”

Tucker Carlson Episode 18

  • Carlson begins with a bold statement: “pretty much everything that NBC and The NYTimes have told you about the war in Ukraine is a lie.”
  • “‘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.’
  • “Every claim is false, the last one especially,” said Carlson, adding “the Ukrainian army is not winning – in fact, it’s losing badlyUkraine is being destroyed. Its population is being slaughtered.”
  • “Most American know nothing about Ukraine,” Macgregor continued, adding that “if they knew anything about the history of Eastern Europe, they would all say ‘get out!’… because the wars and the blood and the hatred that’s been fought over for centuries is something we can’t sort out.”
  • Macgregor’s comments grow more ominous in their tone as the discussion continues.
  • He notes that President Biden has enabled ‘combat pay’ which implies there are American forces on the ground in Ukraine.
  • “It would be a mistake to think that the Russian forces do not know where they are,” the retired colonel explains, pointing out that the Russians are sending a message with recent precision missile strikes near the borders of Poland and Moldova:
    • “if you think you can hide from us, if you come in here, if you cross these borders, we will annihilate you.” 
  • We need to come to terms with these realities because we can’t defeat it,” he remarked reflecting on the fact that people have called him ‘unpatriotic’ for his comments.
  • He summed the situation in Ukraine up rather succinctly:
    • “if we press this war with Russia in Central East Europe, it will reach us here in the United States.”
