Douglas Abbott Macgregor is a retired U.S. Army colonel and government official, and an author, consultant, and television commentator. He was a leader in an early tank battle in the Gulf War and was a top planner in the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. also Blames america for the war and he says US doomed Ukraine for it's own benefit.  at 8:00 he asks what the united states could have done to not have this war.

The mistake that was made was not stepping in when Russia annexed Crimea. And exactly because that went so easy for Russia, they thought they could do the same to the rest of Ukraine. See what inaction leads to?

100%

Russia has been testing the waters for years, testing the West's patience, from Chechnya to Georgia to Moldova to Ukraine, when our reactions to all of these events were as weak as they were, who can be surprised that Russia would think they could take the rest of Ukraine without the West reacting? I certainly had strong doubts that the West would do much pre-war.

So many Ukrainian lives have been lost due to the West's slowness and inaction. That's the thing you can blame on the West, that we didn't support Ukraine this significantly sooner and are still slow in certain areas at supporting Ukraine, still showing a little reluctance and fear in supporting Ukraine with certain things.

We need to stand up to evil before it's too late, stamp it out, unless we want another Nazi Germany.
