MacGregor is half right.

He ignores or understates US military, tech and economic strengths. As in, for instance, the enormous US advantage in combat aircraft production, which has been increasing. More so, he ignores the capabilities of US allies.

He ignores, also, the interests of US allies.

He vastly overstates Russian economic capabilities. He also underplays the fact that the US and its allies have a near-complete chokehold on Russian exports. Russia ships oil, by far its principal export, at all, only on sufferance. This stuff almost all goes by sea.

And etc.

He has a definite agenda and does not engage analytically, which requires laying out all relevant facts.

He is correct about US government and leadership corruption. He also ignores US social conflicts, which are at the root of US problems.

I think your homeland, the Philippines, is it gonna have to give up on American protection and arm up by themselves. No more free rides because we’re being drain dry in the Ukraine war.
