Re: <nettime> nettime-l Digest, Vol 174, Issue 40 Western Propaganda in Ukraine War for NATO


You affirm my point. Macgregor is a rare voice of reason in the West. You prefer delusional propaganda in western state media on alleged success of Ukraine military. It's not happening. Such a cynical attitude leads to more death and destruction. But the North Atlantic Terrorist Organization has subscribed to cult of death and destruction. Baghdad, Falluja, Belgrade... Libya, Syria... A crime after crime. 

War in Ukraine is not "unprovoked", it's instigated and provoked by Obama, Nuland, Biden... actions to a) harm Russia and b) to enable the West continuing looting of Ukraine.

It seems strange to see this on nettime.

Macgregor is a Putin apologist who's called Zelensky a "puppet," accused him of using the Ukrainian people as "human shields," described the wanton destruction as "surprisingly little damage," and argued that the Russian military should have been *more* violent in the opening days of the war. He's a fixture on Fox News because he makes hosts like Tucker Carlson sound moderate.

The Secretary of Defense that Macgregor advised (for a few months) was Chris Miller, who Trump installed just days after losing the election as part of a larger purge of mil/intel leadership. There's good reason to think that Macgregor actively involved in Trump’s attempted coup.

>From Wikipedia on Macgregor’s failed nomination (by Trump) to be ambassador to Germany:

> He has asserted that Muslim immigrants (referred to as "Muslim invaders") come to Europe "with the goal of eventually turning Europe into an Islamic state". Macgregor has argued that the German concept of Vergangenheitsbewältigung, used to cope with Germany's Nazi past and its atrocities during World War II, is a "sick mentality." Macgregor has also stated that martial law should be instituted on the U.S.-Mexico border and argued for the extrajudicial execution of those who cross the border at unofficial ports of entry. Macgregor has also made statements in support of Israel having defensible borders, the annexation of the Golan Heights, and the decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. In a column in The Washington Post he was described as "a racist crackpot who is pro-Russia, anti-Merkel, anti-Muslim and anti-Mexican."

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Macgregor?wprov=sfti1

Admittedly, Wikipedia is a problematic source — in this case because it understates Macgregor's extremism. His view that Ukraine should serve as a "neutral" buffer between NATO/EU and RU is consistent with his advocacy for summary executions of undocumented migrants at the US/Mex border: he doesn't like change, and he's happy to exchange others' lives en masse to prevent it.

Your suggestion that the INC should add some random rightist-noise YT video to their list of practical Ukraine resources seems a bit...tone-deaf?

Subject: Re: <nettime> Irregular Ukraine Linklist
Hi Ted, I'm totally with you on one point: Macgregor is very doubtful
and uttered a lot of terrible political nonsense. He comes from
military, after all. I also detest his political views.

But: what if his assessment of the military situation on the ground and
of the political situation in Washington DC is correct?

Could it be, that, following a progressive-liberal flag, we've been led
by the military-industrial complex and the donor class into a hellhole?
I think it definitely merits to give a second thought to his possibility.

The issue at stake is:
- how can we terminate this war as quickly as possible?
- how can we save Europa from being turned into the battlefield between
NATO and Russia/China?
(Maybe not by following the calls of the military-complex fake liberalism)

for that matter: if there is only a glimpse of truth in what Macgregor
says, one should think very careful about whom and what to support.
