Ex-Marine who fled the war in Ukraine tells his story to Murad Gazdiev (RussiaToday correspondent) in Moscow', posted March 1st 2023, with transcript

With thanks to Tell Eyz for first posting this video. I’ve added a transcript of what John McIntyre says of the War in Ukraine, and why he fled from the Ukrainian Batallion ‘Karapatska Sich’, to arrive in Moscow and tell his story. All I will say about this is: Look at what happens when we kill and eat the animals. The extension leads us to this state..

Commentator: It’s the year former U.S. Army soldier, John McIntyre, was a foreign mercenary in Ukraine.

In the field: Donetsk. Now my boys. So yeah.. The boys: Yeah, hey, hey hey..

Commentary: Earlier this month, he defected to Russia. He brought everything with him.. papers, files, intelligence and maps. The thing is.. he always meant to.

Murad Gazdiev: The first question is, Why? Why are you here?.. I mean..

John McIntyre: Well, it’s the reason I came to Ukraine in the first place. You know, I’m a communist. I’m anti-fascist, and um.. we have to fight fascism everywhere, you know. So I came- When I came to Ukraine, I knew that I would try to get as much information as I could about- you know, anything that would be helpful, and defect across lines. The problem is.. is when I was in Kharkiv, I was going to swim across, and I found out they had snipers in position, so if anybody- (And actually found out that the snipers were for defectors, not for actually protection.) They were actually.. anybody that tried to defect, they would shoot them.

Commentary: Since March 2022, John served in Ukraine’s Foreign Legion and Nationalist Battalion ‘Karapatska Sich’. He saw and documented the Ukrainian War Machine in all its ugly glory, from the inside. He became part of it.

John in the field: “God bless Ukraine. God bless America. But you, Russia… can I step on this? …. Russia.

In interview: As time went on, you know, I had to become more nationalistic, more “Nazi-istic”, you know, doing that..

Murad Gazdiev: Does that explain the videos where you were- where you were, Putin, and..?

John McIntyre: Yeah, yeah, of course, of course. It’s ah- it’s part of it to maintain my cover, because I got to become them. You know what I mean? If I’m gonna be with them, I got to become them, you know. And doing it, you know, Hitler salute, stepping on Russian flags, everything.

In the field: .. Oh, yeah Karpatska Sich, baby. So okay, here. …. Slama, Slama, Slama .. Yeah!

John McIntyre: When I first came, I don’t– kind of expected they wouldn’t be that big of a problem. Like I kind of assumed that it was just..

Murad Gazdiev: Karpatska Sich..

Yeah, I didn’t think there was actually that many, but when I came I was sort of surprised it was everybody.. has, you know, tattoos and Nazi symbolism. Sometime later on, on my Facebook page, I had pictures of Che Guevara [Argentina] and the Soviet Union, and I got questioned for having communist views. And I had to think quick on my feet, you know, and I just told him, I said, “Hey, I’m an anti-fascist. I’m here to fight Russian imperialism and Nazis, and this and that. And they said, “No, the Russians aren’t the Nazis. We’re the Nazis.” And uh..

Murad Gazdiev: Yeah. Who said this?.. Who said this?

John McIntyre: It was just some guys from Croatia or Czechoslovakia; I can’t remember what they were.

Murad Gazdiev: These were foreigners?

John McIntyre: Foreigners.. yeah, foreigners.

Commentary: The proliferation and dominance of Nazi ideology, from swastikas to SS emblems, is well documented and studiously ignored by Western States and media.

John McIntyre: ..And we’re supporting these.. these guys? and these are supposed to be our ally?.. and we want to put them in NATO with us?, and they can’t even follow ‘Geneva’s Convention’?.. And they’re supposed to be our friends? …. You know, like this should never fly in America. United States would never stand for this. Our whole country is literally burning in front of our eyes, and we’re spending 500 million dollars for these Nazis? .. billions of dollars for a Nazi government. You know, so that’s, uh, infuriates me, and it’s time for the American people to stand up and take control of our country

Commentary: Over the year, John spent most of his time in squads with foreign mercenaries. He watched and documented: names, places, crimes, and much more.

Someone in the field: “Russian position three kilometer. Maybe the night, one group come up from the position to kill these -bleep- pigs.. laughter ..

Murad Gazdiev: Tell me this: What about war crimes?

John McIntyre: Where to start, you know. My second day in Ukraine, we were in Lviv … And we were in, like, a school, but we were in like the basement. And what they did was- they have a group of people, ‘Roma’, they call them Gypsy, you know, and what they did is, they take the refugees and put them above us and the soldiers below. That way, if they bombed the school, they’d say, “Look! They bombed a school full of refugees!” .. And this is a common practice in Donetsk, Kharkiv.. We occupy, uh, civilian houses – most houses that people are still living in. That way, if they bomb and kill civilian, they bring in the news crew, and they say, “Look! This house they blew up and they killed these civilians.” But what the camera doesn’t show you is to the left and to the right, is, uh, houses filled with military, you know.

change of scene: ..Of course, I haven’t seen this in person, thank God.. but I know that a lot of captured Russian soldiers, they’ll take and they’ll cut the genitalia with a knife, and everything.. And cut them.. cut their stomachs open and slit their throats, cut their heads off, and stuff like this, you know. Really horrible, horrible stuff, you know.

Murad Gazdiev: Was this the work of Nazi extremists, or was it just..?

John McIntyre: Yeah.. Yeah, extremists and different organizations, as all, you know, Karpatska Sich..

Murad Gazdiev: People you knew..

John McIntyre: Yeah.

Murad Gazdiev: Did any of them?

John McIntyre: Oh, yeah. There were four major.

Murad Gazdiev: Did any of them take part to make you commit any of these crimes?

John McIntyre: Yeah, Yeah.. They- I told you earlier, they had shot three people in the back of the head. They were foreigners – one was from Portugal, one was from France and one was from Argentina.

Murad Gazdiev: They proud?

John McIntyre: Yeah, they were proud.. Yeah, of course.

Commentary: John put up every appearance of a good mercenary. (battle field scene).. John came prepared. For years he served in the U.S. Military,

John McIntyre: ‘First Armoured Division’. It was, uh, hot, hot out there in Fort Bliss, Texas.

Murad Gazdiev: How long were you in the military for?

John McIntyre: Two years, two years.

Murad Gazdiev: Would you renew?

John McIntyre: No, not really… A lot of drinking, you know,

Murad Gazdiev: In the army?

John McIntyre: Oh yeah, of course. It’s normal.. normal practice of..

Murad Gazdiev: Really?

John McIntyre: Yeah, yeah, of course.

Murad Gazdiev: On base?

John McIntyre: Yeah, yeah, cocaine, everything. We even obtain anything you want, you know, prostitutes, hookers, everything..

Murad Gazdiev: On BASE ??.

John McIntyre: Yeah. They arrested one guy. He was a Calvary Scout, and he in his barracks had like bricks of cocaine, you know. He was like..

Murad Gazdiev: A dealer.

John McIntyre: Yeah, he was like the distributor for the whole base.

Commentary: But all that training in Texas.. It didn’t prepare him for this.

In the field: “God that was close.” …. John: We are, uh, northwest of Sievierodonetsk. We are getting (bleep) nailed. dude. We are getting nailed bad. We just had a massive casualty event, just in the last 30 minutes.. I’ve had like … 10 close calls today, dude. Like we are again nailed. (bleep) It’s too much for me, dude. This is Donbas, dude. This war, man, in general, I (bleep) don’t know.. People are getting ate up, right, left and center. I shouldn’t..

John McIntyre: I’ve had a lot of moments around my.. “Oh my God.” … “This is stupid”, you know .. “What the hell am I doing”, you know.. but it had to be done because, you know, this, uh.. The Ukraine government and Nazis that control the government, and control the population, you know.. The things they’re doing in Ukraine to the Russian people.. They need to be talked about, you know, they need to be stopped. And we’ve got to fight Nazism everywhere we go.. even in America.

Commentary: John documented everything. It was in his phone, his head and then the papers he brought along.

Murad Gazdiev: When you came over, you said you were a spy, that you’d hand over, for example, like bases and stuff, lists.

John McIntyre: Yeah, yeah, of course..

Murad Gazdiev: ..intelligence agencies.

John McIntyre: Of course, everything from the command structure to names.. you know, weaponry.. Everything. And I was successful in that, you know.

Commentary: More than successful. John also testified about how deep U.S. involvement in this conflict is.

John McIntyre: There has been a U.S. participation in the war.. When I was in the International Legion, there was a- He was like a military intelligence officer from the Navy..

Murad Gazdiev: U.S. Service .

John McIntyre: Yeah. And he had, uh.. So he was in the Foreign Legion, and he had a satellite phone and a computer, provided by the CIA.. and every day he would call his contacts, and he would get, uh, information about the positions, troop movements, and so on and so forth, and..

Murad Gazdiev: Do you know his name?

John McIntyre: Oh, yeah, yeah..

Murad Gazdiev: What was it?

John McIntyre: Uhhh.. Well, no.. I suppose his name.. Hey, hang on..Sorry, I can’t remember.

Murad Gazdiev: First name, at least.

John McIntyre: Umm.. It was like Marcus or something like that (a break in speech)– Like, for example, they would provide, like, grid coordinates.

Commentary: According to him, the United States feeds Ukraine the weapons and data to wage war. All that is left for Ukrainians and their foreign mercenaries to do is to point their weapons and shoot where America tells them.

in the field: – (shooting a weapon)

Murad Gazdiev: Would you say that most of the foreign mercenaries – the foreigners – you came in with, have left?

John McIntyre: Oh, yeah, yeah, Most of them, because it’s- mostly… Some because of, uh.. they realize the reality of this war, and then some were injured, and some were killed, you know. And, uh, it’s really sad about the ones that are killed because when they get killed, if.. They don’t get sent home. They get cremated, then they get sent home, you know.

Murad Gazdiev: .But this is what they chose, isn’t it?

John McIntyre: Well, uh.. it’s.. Yeah, I mean, it’s they chose it. I mean, they chose to come and fight for fascists, you know. They chose to come and fight for Nazis, you know what I mean? So..

Commentary: And then there’s the corruption. Always the corruption in Ukraine. Western taxpayers, says John, are being robbed left and right.

John McIntyre: ..And then they take your insurance money, and then they put the insurance money in their pockets.

Murad Gazdiev: Yes, this what they do.

John McIntyre: Yeah, they take the insurance money too.

Murad Gazdiev: .. from foreign fighters?

John McIntyre: Yeah.

Murad Gazdiev: This is common practice?

John McIntyre: Yeah, of course. I mean, like most.. I’d say 90% of the families, they don’t get their insurance money from… And they’re taking, uh, salaries too.  You know, like if a soldier terminates contract, like I did with the Karpatska Sich; I terminated contract, yeah?

Murad Gazdiev: Right.

John McIntyre: They’ve taken the last pay-check. They’ve taken this money for themself. …. but this doesn’t go back into the unit. It just goes straight into the commander’s pocket.  (change of scene) .. And it’s not just with the insurance, it’s with, I mean, there’s a huge black market going on with the Javelin Rockets, the M4 rifles, and M240 Bravo machine guns, and.. All the weaponry that’s coming in, they’re taking all these and they sell it.

Murad Gazdiev: You’ve seen this?

John McIntyre: Yeah! Yeah, they stole.. like when I was in Legion, they took 20 Javelin Rockets; they took like 50 M4′s, and like 20 M240′s..

Murad Gazdiev: Who took them?

John McIntyre: .. like the Logistic’s Sergeant-Major, and then the Battalion commander. They were both in on it, and stuff. They’re actually..

Murad Gazdiev: Is that Karpatska Sich?

John McIntyre: Legion

Murad Gazdiev: Yeah?

John McIntyre” Legion.

Murad Gazdiev: Were they Ukrainians?

John McIntyre: Yeah, they were Ukrainians, yeah.

Commentary: These weapons then disappear. Some make their way overseas into the hands of terrorists, WarLords, traffickers – the hardest in criminals, all courtesy of Western taxpayers.

John McIntyre: I noticed when I was in Ukraine, they have like a lot of military shops. And I remember one day, I’m sitting there thinking, “Man, these helmets are really nice.. you know.. these almost look like the American helmets.” And then what I realized is that all these helmets and body armour, and these plate carriers, and stuff coming in… They get stolen and they are sold on the black market to these shops. And then the shop makes money off of it too.

Commentary: Nothing, it seems is taboo for Ukraine, be it open Nazi ideology, war crimes, theft, or anything else. Nothing’s Holy.

in camp: “October 21st. We just got here. We’re in Donetsk, somewhere – maybe that Donbas.. Yeah, in the Donbas, baby.. And, oh, my friend, Aurelio .. Aurelio: Hi. …. (continue): Pretty tricky standing in this Church for now. It’s cold as heck, you know. We got some good food though, so..

John McIntyre: I actually was watching a documentary the other day, of them torturing… I can’t remember, they was trying to get him to say some Ukrainian word and he couldn’t say it, so they kept torturing him, and stuff like that, because it’s funning with them, you know. Like it’s a hatred, you know. They hate these people; they hate the Russian people. They want to kill them. They want to genocide them. They want to remove them from the land. And America doesn’t mind giving the money for this, because they know that they can send in the companies like Texaco, Chevron, Mobil, Shell, and so on and so forth, to extract all that oil … And then they can send in the American Agricultural companies, like John Deere and international, to make all the money from the agricultural side of it too.

Commentary: There are trillions at stake. Ukraine has already been told that it will have to repay ludicrous sums that the West sent in arm supplies. Ukraine is unlikely to ever be able to do that. What it can’t pay in cash, it will have to pay in resources to Western companies. But for John, time has almost run out.

John McIntyre: I actually had to leave, because I had actually planned before I left. I had also planned to infiltrate that ‘Azov’ Battalion, and to gain information about their organization as well. But essentially what had happened, was, I was having a conversation about the war crimes being committed, and even worse than being a spy, I was compromised as a whistleblower, so.. Which is worse, obviously, because that means a bullet to the back of the head.

Murad Gazdiev: By,.. REALLY??

John McIntyre: Yes. Anybody that confesses .. Is known to about to confess war crimes, they get shot in the back of the head, you know.

Murad Gazdiev: Have you seen this?

John McIntyre: No, I haven’t, but a lot of people go missing, you know. A lot of people, they just go missing one day.

Murad Gazdiev: Including foreigners?

John McIntyre: Including foreigners, yea.

Commentary: Earlier this month, John packed everything: papers, documents, maps, and so much more. Everything he had gathered over the year and made his long planned defection.

John McIntyre: Essentially, I fled. I went to Odessa, and I actually was- had to call them all, like, “Look I’m in this too deep, you know…These people are about to kill me”.. and, I was really emotional, and luckily my family was able to scrounge up $300 dollars to send me, so I could go to Kishinev [Moldova]. And then from Kishinev, once I’d made contact and everything, and got my Visa, I went to Istanbul and then to Moscow.. on a plane, yeah.

Murad Gazdiev: Did you, I mean,

John McIntyre: Ha.. ha ha.. It was nerve-wracking, I mean. It was, um.. I had been compromised, you know, and that meant that I was about to be executed.

Commentary: The wealth of information, he has provided, is already being used by the Russian Military and law enforcement, who have lists of war crimes, and now even more names to them. There is years of work ahead, But we had one final question for John. .. (A year, after all, is a long time).

Murad Gazdiev: I mean, if they’re going to watch this. They’re going to see this.

John McIntyre: Yeah, I know..

Murad Gazdiev: ..the people you served with. What would you say to them?

John McIntyre: Ah. All’s fair in love and war, you know. It is what it is.. Spies exist, you know, and I’m a spy. And mission.. Mission accomplished.

Comentary: ‘Murad Gazdiev’, from Moscow.
