Col. (ret) Douglas Macgregor gave a sober and stark assessment of the ongoing hostilities taking place in Ukraine on Judge Andrew Napolitano’s show Tuesday. He threw cold water on a lot of the propaganda coming out of Western media and governments, and described how Ukraine’s army is deteriorating, with low morale and low supplies. MacGregor reported on a letter he had reportedly received from an Australian friend on the ground near the line of conflict, who wrote that even the Ukrainian civilians are beginning to speak up and express their resentment at being sacrificed in this way: “many [civilians] are now speaking up, many are openly critical of the Zelensky administration. They’re openly angered at the West and feel betrayed.”
Importantly, MacGregor was asked about Germany’s sending of Leopard tanks. MacGregor responded that he understands why Germany is hesitant: “the Germans are worried and justifiably I would add, that they’re going to be hung out to dry and their equipment will not only be destroyed but in many cases captured.” It is unclear what the Americans will do, he added, referencing the debate whether American tanks will follow the German tanks. But if Germany thinks this would be a clever way to introduce German troops on the ground (fighting Russians in Ukraine), in order to train Ukrainians or even operate their tanks, the German government would be thrown out in 24 hours. There is no support in Germany for that, he said.
