I might listen to McGregor, if he had not been so repeatedly wrong about Ukraine.
He avoids hyperbole here and it is a pretty through and complete analysis of our strategic position in the world.
He's a russian propagandist, like Ritter and Lancaster.
One lie they repeat is that the breakaway areas are "russian".
Lugansk and Donetsk oblasts have never been majority ethnic russian, from the time Catherine the Great annexed the region, in the late 18th century, through the Tsar, the Soviets, the fall of the USSR.
Ethnic russians never made up more than 35%.
They may have a majority, now that they've had 10 years to ethnically cleanse the Ukrainians.
Also, if they're fighting NATO, where is our airpower, navies, troops?
