Ep. 1796 U.S. Military DECISION May Have Saved Putin with Colonel Douglas MacGregor

Broadcast on:
25 Jul 2023

Today, I am joined by a legend. Colonel Douglas MacGregor is a decorated combat veteran known the world over for his leadership at the Battle of 73 Easting, America’s largest tank battle since WWII, his in-depth book on military history and strategy, and of course his riveting appearances on a myriad of TV and online programs. He has been a stalwart in recent years in holding the America Last foreign policy establishment’s feet to the fire and is always on the cutting edge of the current military situation around the world.    Macgregor has made headlines over the past several weeks for his controversial comments about Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine. He has frequently appeared on Fox News programs, including Tucker Carlson's show, to discuss Russia's invasion.     Highlights:    
  • "We’ve succeeded now, in not only killing large numbers of Ukrainians in this pointless war, that really never had to happen. We didn’t have to drag Ukraine into NATO. We didn’t have to put US and allied forces into Ukraine.” - Colonel Douglas MacGregor 
  • “Everything that we’re dealing with now is desperation or disintegration. Desperation because the Ukrainian position is really unrecoverable, and disintegration because that’s what’s happening inside Ukraine.” - Colonel Douglas MacGregor 
  • “If you look at the way things have been handled, I would say that Putin has been remarkably restrain. Almost anybody else over there would have been infuriated by the way in which we treated Russians. We treat them with the most contempt. We’ve ignored any of their proposals. This can’t go on.” - Colonel Douglas MacGregor
  • “If you’re serious about your intellectual property, if you’re serious about the security of your country, instead of making war overseas, control the border. Go after the criminals inside our country. Shut it down.” - Colonel Douglas MacGregor
  • “We want to resurrect America.” - Colonel Douglas MacGregor
