NATO's head said earlier this month that Russia may want the fighting to slow, seeking a "freeze" in the fighting so it can better prepare for a bigger assault next year. "What we see now is Russia is actually trying to have some kind of 'freeze' of this war at least for a short period of time so they can regroup, repair, recover," NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said. "And then try to launch a bigger offensive next spring." The UK Ministry of Defence predicted on Monday that Russian forces will not see any big gains over the winter, even...

Douglas Macgregor presents the REAL State of the Union! You won't want to miss these insightful perspectives, reflections, and unique viewpoints. (10 minute YouTube video at the link)

When U.S. forces begin the destruction of the Islamic State, it will defend its territory—its so-called caliphate—and “hold ground.” Without air and missile defenses, or rocket artillery and mobile armored forces with accurate, devastating firepower, “holding ground” is the only option. U.S. air and ground forces with token “allied and partner” participation will methodically grind Islamic State fighters out of existence. “Holding ground” will be a death sentence for ISIS. However, the destruction of ISIS belongs to the past; battles between the U.S. armed forces and insurgent enemies without armies, air forces or air defenses. Future battle will be different.

Over the past two years, Colonel Douglas Macgregor has become Tucker Carlson’s “go-to guy” on foreign policy and military matters. Yet, there is reason to question whether Carlson should be giving Macgregor a bully pulpit. That’s because, during a recent Cyrus Janssen podcast that saw Macgregor offer insights into the current Middle East conflict, he revealed that he traffics in the worst kind of antisemitic tropes and stereotypes. Macgregor’s theme was that Washington is now controlled by Israel, with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu calling the shots.Preliminarily, Janssen is incredibly hostile to Israel and completely supportive of the Hamas narrative. Given...

@DougAMacgregor You have a understandable and justified interest from Israel to Destroy Hamas. However, I think the current plan will provoke an enormous reaction from the Muslim world. Pretty much everyone from Indonesia to Morocco is going to be extremely upset and I think we will see the front against Israel in the region coalesce into a real Military alliance against Israel. We need to protect Israel from itself. The problem is, it takes a President who has the authority and strength to tell the Israeli Government no, you can not go into Gaza and execute the plans you have.

Colonel Douglas Macgregor Straight Calls - Analysis of breaking news and in-depth discussion of current geopolitical events in the United States of America and the world.

On Monday night Tucker Carlson dropped episode 33 of his show on X with guest Col. Douglas MacGregor. “Looks like we’re actually going to war with Iran. Are we ready for this?” Tucker said during his latest episode. Iran has repeatedly threatened the United States after its proxy army Hamas launched a terror attack on Israel and killed more than 1,300 Jews. Iranian proxies attacked US troops in Syria and Iraq. During their conversation Col. MacGregor dropped a bomb on the X audience. According to the Colonel, US special forces suffered considerable losses recently during an excursion into Gaza.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and his guest, retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor, scoffed at the idea that the United States was scoring “moral victories” through its assistance of Israel and suggested that the world’s only Jewish-majority state was committing “war crimes” by bombing Gaza during an episode of the former’s show released on Monday. After a conversation during which the two commentators argued that wiping out Hamas was an unrealistic goal, they said that the U.S. was hurtling toward war with Iran and bizarrely submitted that Turkey and Russia would be eager to join such a conflict on...

Tucker Carlson is has received a commitment of $15 million in seed funding for his planned media company. The investment is from businessman Omeed Malik, who had once labeled himself a “run-of-the-mill corporate Democrat.”

With his calm voice and authoritative demeanor, Col. Douglas Macgregor gives the initial impression of a knowledgeable and dispassionate observer/analyst. Since the beginning of 2022, the Colonel, with an impeccable ‘American hero’ background has become the “go-to” analyst for many in the American conservative media, including Tucker Carlson. Carlson is a top professional and no doubt, has a decent-size crew of researchers even when not on Fox. Given these resources, it's inexplicable that he is charmed by Macgregor, who has not put a foot right in his analysis and predictions since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on...

Today is a good time to remind everyone that CNN represents the public relations arm of the U.S State Department. Two overlays: first, most non-U.S. government entities regard CNN as the state run media for the U.S. State Department, because it is. Second, the U.S. State Dept is the umbrella organization for most global CIA operations. In essence, the intel community reports that surface from CNN are from the State Dept/CIA. In this latest example, the unnamed U.S. intelligence officials are once again promoting the proactive narrative that Russian FSB services are responsible for manipulating smaller networks of U.S. social...

TREY GOWDY: Why do you think Putin is doing this? What is his end game? COL. DOUG MACGREGOR: Well, Vladimir Putin is carrying through on something that he has been warning us about at least for the last 15 years, which is he will not tolerate U.S. forces or missiles on his borders. Much as we would not tolerate Russian missiles or troops in Cuba. And we ignored him and he finally acted. He was not going to allow Ukraine, under any circumstances, to join NATO.

"Ukraine has already lost the war. This is not going to won. Ukraine is disintegrating. It's armed forces are falling apart. They aren't bad people. They aren't bad soldiers. They have done all that is humanly possible. But, hundreds of thousands of dead in causalities is simply too much. All the hospitals are full. How many people they have left that they can throw at the advancing Russians is anyone's guess. But, I don't think it's too much. The question is, what do we do now? How many more have to die before we finally say enough is enough." --...

I’m not gonna say “I told you so” because that’s tacky…But I do take my reporting very seriously and I love to see when our reporting is backed up by big sources.I’ve been shouting from the rooftops that the banking failures of April/May are not over.That was just the start.I’ve been saying we almost certainly see a period of time where the banks “shut down” and you can’t get your money. Now I being you this clip from Patrick Bet-David’s podcast with Col. Douglas MacGregor who basically confirmed all of that is true. But worse than I even expected.I expected...
