Col Douglas MacGregor retired from the US Army in 2004 after 28 years service. Col MacGregor is better known today for his opposition to US policy on Ukraine but 25 years ago he played a senior role in planning NATO’s attack on Serbia. In this interview he recounts how British political culture openly embraced lies and falsification…He saw intense action as the leader in tank battles in the Gulf War and was a top planner in the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. Since leaving the army he has been a consultant and adviser on military matters to US politicians at the highest level.
In this fascinating excerpt from a March 2022 interview with the popular Gray Zone YouTube channel he recounts how a British major became offended by the attitude to facts and the truth displayed by “spin doctors” imposed by the cynical UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and his PR attack dog, Alastair Campbell. The main interview was concerned with US policy in the Ukraine following the Russian intervention in February 2022 but this short concluding remark demonstrates why those who protested against the NATO attack on Yugoslavia in 1999 were absolutely right to do so.
