Macgregor, who supported Russia’s annexation of Crimea, argued: “if they don't surrender in next 24 hrs... the Russians will ultimately annihilate them.”

State TV flooded their programs with clips of Macgregor’s predictions to demoralize the Ukrainians.

Russian state media is having a field day with Ret. Col. Doug Macgregor's recent suggestion on Fox News that the people of Ukraine should really just lie down and let Putin have his way.

Speakers across Kremlin-funded media are voicing their dismay and disappointment with the worldwide condemnation of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Now more than ever, Fox News—with its endless stream of pro-Russia talking points—seems to be the only bright spot for Kremlin propagandists otherwise under siege by the West.

While guests and pundits on multiple state TV channels expressed frustration with the world’s unity in opposition to Putin’s aggression, translated clips from Fox News continued to spark joy for them. On Tuesday and Wednesday, multiple state media channels broadcast translated video excerpts from Fox News’ Sunday night segment with Trey Gowdy. In these clips, Ret. Col. Doug Macgregor suggested that Ukrainian troops lay down their guns, retreat, and let Russian President Vladimir Putin have his way with Ukraine. He also complained that Putin is being “demonized” by the United States and opposed any U.S. involvement in helping Ukraine defend itself from Russian aggression.

“Their biggest fear is that sooner or later they will have to fight against Russia.”

Macgregor, who previously supported Russia’s annexation of Crimea, argued, “What is happening now is the battle in Eastern Ukraine is really almost over, all the Ukrainian troops there have been largely surrounded and cut off... and if they don't surrender in next 24 hours, I suspect the Russians will ultimately annihilate them... The game is over.” Russian state media flooded their programs with translated clips of Macgregor’s proclamations, using them in support of their own messaging designed to demoralize the Ukrainians.

Predictably, state TV did not include any clips of Fox News national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin’s rebuttals that followed Macgregor’s appearance, in which she addressed his “distortions” and noted that Macgregor sounded like an “apologist” for Putin.

1. Fox is a media arm of the Kremlin

Too bad Murdoch has no conscience

2. Can charges be brought against Fox for crimes against humanity as a result of this?

Fox is producing propaganda material for a war criminal and his regime...shouldn't they be brought to the Hague to answer for this?
