Interview with Douglas Macgregor “The real question is not what we will accept but what the Russians will tolerate”
Interview by Elvia Politi and Sascha Picciotto
9/14/2023
English Translation Below:
It’s been about 600 days since the SMO started, all NATO aids have proven useless and have been mostly destroyed. There is not much left in the stocks of all the European countries.
What are NATO’s chances of survival following these rates while running out of all our resources? Is this equipment replaceable and in what time frame? NATO tanks performance has not been up to par, what do you think will happen with U.S.-made tanks under combat conditions?
Equipment is only as good as the Soldiers manning it. In addition, no weapon system whether a tank, a mortar or an infantry fighting vehicle is effective if the operational framework for employment is unsuited to warfighting environment. Ukrainians are not adequately trained. They are not organized to fight properly with integrated air and missile defense, real-time intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. The Ukrainian force, like NATO forces, is organized to refight a version of WW II. This is a recipe for certain defeat. NATO is in trouble. It was never designed for offensive warfare. Its original purpose was to deter Soviet Military Power from attacking Western Europe. After 1991, most US and European officers through the NATO Military Structure was designed to ensure no future wars would break out on European Soil. Events in the Balkans in the 1990s and NATO’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine have altered the original purpose. At this point, alliances involving 32 Nation States with very different interests are unprecedented. Such a large, fragile grouping like NATO is unlikely to endure in the current environment.
If you had the same men and means at your disposal as you did in 1991, do you think you would be able to break through Russian lines?
No. See my books, Transformation under Fire (2003) and my recent work Margin of Victory (2016) for the reasons why. The West has systematically rejected the radical changes in force design, organization and modernization that are required to operate on the modern battlefield. (New technologies) 3) New technologies show that complex anti-tank systems are no longer needed to destroy a tank; a few thousand dollars drone is often enough. How will drones impact the warfare scenario of the future, given the results and conclusions that can be drawn after the blitzkrieg between Azerbaijan and Armenia, or the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine?
New technologies show that complex anti-tank systems are no longer needed to destroy a tank; a few thousand dollars drone is often enough. How will drones impact the warfare scenario of the future, given the results and conclusions that can be drawn after the blitzkrieg between Azerbaijan and Armenia, or the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine? Does the West have anything ready among its arsenals to be able to respond even minimally to Russian superiority?
Adequate air and missile defense including a range of air defense systems and radars must be integrated into the ground force to protect it from destruction in the current environment. At the moment, the Ukrainians confront conditions similar to the German Army in 1944-45. The Anglo-American forces had 5,0000 fighter aircraft in the air over their ground forces in France when the entire German Air Force was defending German cities against US and UK Bombers. German forces had no tactical fighter coverage or air support. As a result, German Formations could move only at night and never in daylight. Even then, movement was dangerous. This effectively robbed the German ground forces of the opportunity to maneuver. However, this did not lead to the end of tanks and supporting mobile arms.
We often talk about swarms of drones, new exoskeletons, new weapons, but is there anything concrete behind the U.S. industry or just million-dollar contracts that bleed taxpayers dry and fatten the military industrial complex? We could cite the F-35s. These are proposed to “partners” almost forcing them to buy them, despite dubious characteristics. At the moment, the coalition maintains air superiority but under non-simulated warfare conditions how long would our planes last against Russian air defenses and fighters? Does the West has any possibility to win if the conflict expands further?
Yes, the United States could also have lived with a neutral Ukraine. Ukraine’s principle strategic value was the distance a neutral Ukraine created between Russia and NATO’s Eastern Border. It worked to the mutual advantage of NATO and Russia. Unfortunately, the globalist-neocon leadership in Washington, London, Paris, Berlin, Rome and other European Capitals decided to exploit Ukrainian manpower and resources in a pointless war to destroy Russia and its government. Thus, the real question is not what we will accept, but what the Russians will tolerate. They would likely still tolerate a rump Ukraine that was neutral with a government that was not hostile to Russia. Whether that rump Ukraine is exclusive West of the Dnieper River or also includes some territory on the Eastern side is unknown.
In your opinion, could the United States accept a partition of Ukraine or would it be inclined to end this game at the expense of the Ukrainians, at any price, including neighboring European nations?
Do you think Europe will be involved more than it already is?
Drones of various types can be employed in volleys or small numbers against targets that lack air and missile protection. The Ukrainians lost their air and missile defenses over the last 12 months thanks to a systematic Russian campaign to eliminate them. Meanwhile, the Russians have developed and fielded dense, and effective integrated air defenses that would seriously weaken, even neutralize US and Allied Air Power. Remember, German air defenses between 1942 and the end of the war in 1945 shot down 18,000 bombers that tried to penetrated Germany’s homeland air defenses. Today, the West has too few aircraft to fight and defeat such a threat. The best way to fight Russian integrated air defenses is a combination of missiles and drones (unmanned aircraft) with advancing ground forces. The Israeli Defense Forces experienced similar problems in their fight against Soviet Air Defenses in Egypt during the 1973 war. In most cases, Egyptian Air Defenses were destroyed by Israeli artillery and tanks. I suspect the same would happen to Russian Integrated Air Defense today, but the operation would require thousands of missiles, rockets and drones, as well as robust ground forces protected by effective air and missile defenses as noted earlier.
In your opinion, could the United States accept a partition of Ukraine or would it be inclined to end this game at the expense of the Ukrainians, at any price, including neighboring European nations? Do you think Europe will be more involved than it already is?

Since the end of the Second World War, Italy is a vanguard against communism and has gone through tremendous phases of internal struggles. Today that there is no longer this distinction, red communists or blue capitalists, how are Italians viewed by our allies and masters, given the number of bases we host on our territory? Do we still have a strategic relevance or are we losing that too, after the economic one we already lost?
Italy’s strategic relevance lies with its central position in the Mediterranean and proximity to the Middle East. This is an unchanging condition. The U.S. Military views the strategic position as vital to the capability to project U.S. Power and influence. Americans, in general, like Europeans and they certainly like Italians. The real question is whether the Italian people want their country to host foreign forces that regard Italy as a platform from which to extend US military power and influence to other regions including the Balkans, Near East and North Africa. To date, the US presence has not invited war to Italian soil. However, changes in the technology of warfare have turned static bases of all kinds into potential targets that are increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to protect. This naturally includes U.S. Bases in Italy that depending on the warfighting scenario could come under attack.

Members of the neonazi group Azov with plenty of free time decided to re-enact photos of their OUN ancestors.
The OUN and it’s paramilitary wing were responsible for countless massacres and grotesque brutality against Poles, Soviets, Jews and others.
They sided with Nazis and were supported by the CIA after WW2, which has since been using the extreme ideology of Ukrainian Nationalism as a proxy against Soviet and later Russian influence in the region.
Video from 2021 before the "Unprovoked" Russian Invasion
The MSM's Ukraine neo-Nazi Amnesia
As Russia invaded Ukraine, the entire MSM joined in lockstep to give us a narrative. An important part of the narrative was that Russia’s claim that Neo-Nazi’s are a force in Ukraine is a Kremlin lie. It is a narrative that is easily unraveled by the MSM’s own past articles. So far, no MSM outlets are willing to discuss this ugly truth today. Anyon…
The United States is persistently trying to provoke a nuclear war with Russia. Elena Panina, director of the Institute for International Strategic Studies, comments on an article in Foreign Policy magazine:
Over the 18 months of the conflict in Ukraine, the Biden administration has broken almost all taboos that could provoke an escalation by the Kremlin, the American publication says. First, Kyiv had American artillery, then MLRS, and now Abrams tanks are about to appear. Against this background, Washington’s decision to send ATACMS tactical missiles to Ukraine looks inevitable, the publication believes. After all, Britain and France have already sent Storm Shadow and SCALP, respectively, and only the United States is trailing behind the events. According to FP, the supply of ATACMS has already been approved by all American departments, so everything depends on Biden’s personal decision.
The magazine makes it clear that the delay is also due to the fact that it is not clear what effect this will have on the Russians. It seems that the strikes on Crimea should have given Russian citizens a feeling of war coming to their homes. “But the Kremlin controls the Russian media so much that the US administration is unclear how much the average Russian understands about the war,” the publication writes. In other words, ATACMS should become an instrument of terror against citizens of the Russian Federation in order to cause internal instability in Russia and, if “lucky,” a coup d’etat. But Americans are still unclear whether this makes sense. But rockets are expensive. Washington's balance sheet of costs and results does not yet add up. This is the reason for the delay in the delivery of ATACMS to Kyiv, and not at all in humanism or “red lines”.

Absolutely devastating attack by Russian FPV drones on Ukraine positions.
Highlights of Russian Military Operation in Ukraine on September 19
▪️Russian troops again carried out combined strikes on enemy facilities in Ukraine's rear regions.
In Lviv, several drones hit an industrial warehouse: a large fire broke out at the facility.
▪️Ukrainian Su-24M bombers fired four Storm Shadow missiles at the Crimean bridge.
Russian air defenses intercepted all aerial targets near Melitopol and Genichesk, preventing damage and casualties.
▪️In the Kupyansk section, Russian forces resumed attacks on Ukrainian positions in Sinkivka and in nearby landings.
At the same time, air strikes disabled the crossing near Kupyansk, which was used by the AFU to transfer forces.
▪️On the southern flank of Bakhmut's defense, fierce fighting continues in Klishchiivka.
Despite the statements of the Ukrainian side, most of the village continues to remain in the gray zone.
▪️In the Vremivka section, the AFU once again reduced their offensive activity.
At the moment, Russian troops are firing at the enemy, preventing him from regrouping and rotating.
▪️Near Orikhiv, the Ukrainian command has pulled together significant forces to break through the Russian defenses at the site.
Nevertheless, new attacks south of Robotyne and near Verbove ended in the usual way for the AFU: losses and retreat.
▪️In the Kherson direction, the enemy again tried to increase its grouping on the islands in the Dnieper delta.
Russian troops are firing artillery at the Ukrainian landing force and preventing it from expanding its zone of control.

A “cruel ending” is approaching for Zelensky, American journalist Jackson Hinkle said in an interview with RT:
“The Ukrainian counter-offensive, during which 71 thousand people died, is a suicide mission.”
According to him, on the streets of Odessa, Lvov and Kiev, people should protest against the actions of the government, which sends their husbands, fathers, brothers and sons to the front.
But this is not happening, because the SBU will send them “to imprisonment or even worse,” the journalist added.

Situation in the South Donetsk Direction
▪️ The Vremyevsky section remains quiet, with activity limited to the north of Priyutnoye and the vicinity of Staromayorskoye. The enemy continues to attempt operations in small groups, which are promptly detected and fired upon before retreating. The Russian Armed Forces' artillery continues to target the rear areas of the AFU in this direction.
▪️ There have been no changes in the Ugledar section.
We lack information regarding a significant transfer of enemy troops for another breakthrough attempt in the South Donetsk direction. Everything that arrives in the immediate rear is utilized by the AFU to partially replace losses, which is evidently insufficient for another surge. However, it's important to note that we do not have a complete view of the situation and lack comprehensive intelligence information. The conclusion above represents a subjective opinion.

Aid to Ukraine may be impacted by a potential US government shutdown.
Ukraine could face disruptions in the supply of weapons and training due to a reported government shutdown in the United States, as per Politico's report.
The publication cited a Pentagon official who mentioned that if US lawmakers fail to reach a budget agreement within the next two weeks, the federal government of the United States will be compelled to suspend non-essential activities. This suspension may include the provision of specific categories of weapons and military services to Kiev, including the training of Ukrainian military personnel.
Additionally, the government shutdown could lead to a delay in the training of Ukrainian pilots for F-16 fighter jets, which was scheduled to commence at a US military base in the upcoming weeks, according to the publication.

The Lancet arrives at another Ukrainian M777
The pilots ejected, and there was no threat to their health, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.
“Ukraine is behaving like a drowning man who is clutching at everything,” Polish President Andrzej Duda said at the UN General Assembly.
Duda canceled a meeting planned for Tuesday with Zelensky due to delays in his schedule of appearances at the UN General Assembly. Duda also mentioned the dispute over Ukrainian grain during a briefing for Polish media at the UN headquarters in New York.
“We're dealing with something like drowning. Anyone who has ever taken part in rescuing a drowning person knows that a drowning person is incredibly dangerous and that he can pull himself to the depths. It has unimaginable power, driven by personal fear and the effects of adrenaline, and can simply drown a rescuer. They say that a drowning man grabs razors, and indeed, a drowning man grabs everything he can,” said the President of Poland.
“It's a bit like the situation between Poland and Ukraine. Ukraine is under Russian onslaught, undoubtedly in a very difficult situation, and is grabbing at everything it can. Is it possible to be offended by her? Of course, you can be offended. Do you need to act in such a way as to protect yourself from harm caused by drowning? Of course, we must act in such a way as to protect ourselves from the harm caused by a drowning person, because if a drowning person causes harm and drowns us, he will not be helped. Therefore, we ourselves must take care of our own interests, and we will do this effectively and decisively,” he added.
