Col Doug Macgregor: Trump's Not in Charge/NOT the Man We Voted into Office (Daniel Davis)

Decorated combat veteran and defense expert Doug Macgregor criticized Donald Trump's shifting and vague Ukraine war deadlines—originally 50 days, now shortened to "maybe 10 or 12"—as unserious and disconnected from geopolitical reality. He suggested Trump is being fed talking points by advisers and accused him of having a “God complex,” acting on personal ego rather than strategy. According to the speaker, Trump falsely believes his personality and past relationships with Putin could influence Russia’s decisions.

He emphasized that Russia sees Ukraine as an existential threat, likening it to a "cancerous tumor" that must be fully removed, including not just Ukraine’s military but also Western intelligence operations and the Zelensky government, which he called a "puppet regime." He dismissed U.S. foreign policy as hypocritical and aggressive, suggesting that America’s actions and massive spending on global conflict have alienated other nations.

The expert also warned that the U.S. risks serious consequences if it continues provoking Russia, arguing that Trump, and perhaps broader U.S. leadership, misunderstands how seriously Russia views the war and how little credibility American deadlines or threats hold with the Kremlin.



Macgregor, in this interview, rips the neocons whose agenda we are following when it comes to the war in Ukraine - and also the conflict in the Middle East. He points out that the Russians will not stop until Ukraine has been neutralised as a threat because leaving it intact, in any way, invites further neocon fuelled war in the future.
