COL Douglas Macgregor : Trump Admin careening into the abyss and it may already be too late.
Summary
Judge Napolitano interviews Colonel Douglas McGregor, who returns from Moscow to discuss his meetings with Russian officials. They analyze the failed Anchorage peace deal, arguing that the Trump administration is controlled by Zionist interests and has suffered a strategic defeat in Iran. McGregor criticizes the Pentagon’s leadership and the US military’s 20th-century mindset, while also addressing Zelensky’s threats to Russian airspace.
