This is a fascinating and very serious 18 minute conversation between journalists and military experts, principally Colonel Douglas Macgregor who outlines with simple but expert clarity many of the underlying conditions (and decisions) America faces.
Like it or not, America is involved in a global multi-cultural car crash resulting in many casualties (dead, dying or seriously injured) with severe damage to the “vehicles” and the “first responders” can’t even get out the gate because they’re stuck in a time and place that no longer exists.
Our (US) leadership (all sides) is defunct and actually throwing more gas on this burning heap of cars, waiting to eventually pick their way through the pile for scraps.
President Eisenhower warned us of something so dangerous to the future of America and mankind, yet here we are continuing to magnify that danger instead of reducing it (and that warning was over 60 years ago).
Endless wars benefit very few and they result in untold and unimaginable consequences.
The current situation must end soon or it will not end well.

This gentlemen has no idea what he’s talking about nor how monumentally challenging an all out war against an alliance of Iran, China, Russia, Pakistan, North Korea (all nuclear armed nations) and other loosely aligned nations and ideologies would be.
He also has zero idea about the readiness, preparation, scalability or resourcing required that our military is at this time.
He also states our “military knows what they signed up for” flippantly as though the military is some separate appendage of the United States constitution that does what it does without the full consent of the American people — it does NOT! Our military is an extension of our nation, performs its mission based on the direction of the commander in chief and does so, hopefully, with the full consent of Congress.
Mr. POTUS I know you are influenced by what you see on Fox News. Please tread carefully with statements that this man, who seems to be a friend of yours, is making. He is asking the nation to go to war ...
I am so with you on this hearing. All of us have experienced the loss of family and friends in our circles and what we’re witnessing is more political theater than real accountability. I see nothing coming out of this.
In 2016, President Obama called me the second most dangerous man in the world. My offense was simple. I was advising Candidate and then President-Elect Donald J. Trump on national security policy.
This led to the initiation of Operation Crossfire Razor in the summer of 2016 (during the campaign), before I held any official position or served as National Security Advisor.
As the senior national security campaign advisor with thirty-three years in uniform and former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, I was targeted for my knowledge and fierce independence.
The Steele dossier, FISA warrants, and coordinated surveillance were all intended to undermine my credibility and reputation before I could serve our country.
Ms. Svetlana Lokhova faced similar treatment, being falsely accused as a Russian agent (a complete lie), while I ended up being prosecuted on unfounded charges (all of which were eventually dismissed for egregious government misconduct).
Both myself and Ms. Lohkova were seen ...
Let me tell you something straight up—President Trump’s tariffs are a bold, decisive strike for America’s soul. This isn’t just about trade; it’s about taking back what’s ours—our jobs, industries, and our pride. For too long, we’ve let the globalists and the weak-kneed elites sell us out to foreign powers who don’t give a damn about the American worker.
