Col Doug Macgregor: TOMAHAWK MISSILES - If Ukraine Gets & Uses, U.S. Will be at War w/Russia (Daniel Davis)

The discussion centers on the potential U.S. decision to provide Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles for strikes deep inside Russia — a move that analysts warn would risk direct war between the U.S. and Russia and could escalate to nuclear conflict.

Col Doug Macgregor argues that while Donald Trump may not fully grasp the consequences of his rhetoric, he likely understands that striking Russia directly would mean war. However, other U.S. officials and advisors — such as Rubio, Kellogg, and Pompeo — are reportedly telling Trump that Russia is losing and encouraging a more aggressive stance, which the speaker considers dangerously delusional and disconnected from battlefield realities.

Zelensky has reportedly requested Tomahawk missiles, and while the U.S. hasn’t yet approved them, some officials have publicly endorsed Ukraine’s right to strike deep into Russian territory. The speaker warns that such statements are taken extremely seriously in Moscow and demonstrate a profound underestimation of Russian capabilities.

There’s also speculation that Trump may be keeping the Ukraine war going to “tie down” Russian resources and prevent Moscow from aiding Iran — a theory the speaker calls risky and misguided. The broader critique is that Washington’s foreign policy has become impulsive, arrogant, and overextended, pursuing multiple conflicts despite economic fragility, growing debt, and a weakening dollar.

The conversation ends by emphasizing historical parallels — Western overconfidence before wars, such as Vietnam and WWII — and a warning that no rational leader should pursue simultaneous wars. Lavrov’s recent remarks reinforce Russia’s position that Western interference and broken agreements since 2014 caused the conflict, and the speaker agrees that the West missed earlier chances to secure peace within Ukraine’s 1991 borders.
