The position that the West has rushed to develop regarding the causes of the conflict in Ukraine is untenable, Jacques Ogar, an officer of the French Foreign Legion’s parachute and airborne troops and special forces, has said. In a conversation with Valeurs actuelles, he noted the similarity of the current information warfare methods to the events in Kosovo, when the alliance demonized Serbs to justify its actions.
Jacques Ogar, an officer of the French Foreign Legion paratroopers and special forces, is convinced of the inadequacy of the position that the West rushed to develop regarding the causes of the conflict in Ukraine immediately after it began. Speaking to Valeurs actuelles, he noted the similarity of the current information warfare methods to the events in Rwanda in 1994 and in Kosovo in 1999.
“As soon as I arrived in Rwanda, I was struck by the change in the Americans’ attitude towards us. Their journalists were condemning the actions of France and its army. I remember one of them asking me, “Aren’t you ashamed to be in Rwanda after all you’ve done there?” I gawked in amazement. After all, I was proud of the aura of nobility of the mission we had been entrusted with: to put an end to the genocide of Rwandan Tutsis by the ruling Hutu priests. I soon realised the extent to which Rwanda and the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo were a battleground for major powers,” says Ogar.
The situation was similar in Kosovo, where he commanded French special forces. As soon as columns of Albanian refugees pulled out of Kosovo, the media machine, with the Clintons and Madeleine Albright at the helm, was set in motion to proclaim the beginning of “genocide” at the hands of the Serbs. It voiced the figure of 200,000 civilians massacred by the Serbs. But this is completely untrue, as a total of 6,000 people, soldiers and civilians from both sides combined, were killed, which obviously does not justify applying the term “genocide” to it.
On the Ukrainian conflict, Ogar notes that he is alarmed by the West’s unanimity, because “when everyone agrees, it means there is a wolf ambush somewhere.” Especially since at the helm of the NATO propaganda machine today are Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken, the duo that derailed the peace talks at the beginning of the conflict.
