Retired US Col Douglas Macgregor

The interview is here. Unlike the Colonel, I do not side with Vladimir Putin, but I do see that he was sorely provoked by Washington. Washington provokes a lot of countries and attacks a lot of countries. Israel does the same. Washington and Jerusalem created the recent turmoil in Iran.

'We are in a state of decline in terms of economic strength, military power, prosperity across the boards, internal cohesion. The Russians, the Chinese, Indians and others are viewing us as a potentially dangerous and irrational actor on the world stage.'

 

'But we've failed in Russia. We wanted to go in there, break the country up, rape it for its resources. That's failed miserably. We have not destroyed the national cohesion or unity of Iran. We don't have control of its oil and gas resources. And now we have China which imports roughly 80% of Iran's oil very interested in ensuring the straits of Hormuz stay open. So how far can you press this war with Iran?'

'We are heart and soul bound to the Israeli state and we are absolutely in the clutches of the billionaires in the United States who want us permanently committed to Israel. Whether we want to admit it or not, we really are committed to the Greater Israel Project.'
