Col Doug Macgregor US Ground Troops Could Be Walking Into a Trap in IRAN (Daniel Davis)

Once ground troops arrive in Iran, Col Macgregor asks, what are they going to do? Holding geography is not a good objective since they'll be under fire the whole time. And a small, quickly deployable force will not be able to take on the entire country, especially considering Iran's mountainous geography.

Clipped intro text from the full interview:

Suspicious oil trades—worth hundreds of millions to over a billion dollars—were placed minutes before President Donald Trump announced a delay in Iran-related actions, suggesting possible insider knowledge.
He claims this indicates high-level corruption inside the White House, comparing it to past political scandals and alleging officials may be profiting from privileged information.
According to him, accountability is unlikely because:
The executive branch won’t investigate itself.
Congress is also compromised by similar behavior (e.g., insider trading).
He frames this as part of a broader pattern where elites exploit crises (like tensions with Iran) for financial gain, showing “contempt” for ordinary Americans.
He warns that unchecked corruption could lead to serious societal consequences, drawing a historical parallel to pre-revolutionary France.
On foreign policy, he disputes claims that the Strait of Hormuz is fully closed, saying it’s selectively restricted—particularly against the U.S. and its allies—while countries like China and India can still move oil under certain conditions.

Overall:
He presents a highly critical and skeptical view of the government, alleging insider trading, systemic corruption, lack of accountability, and misleading narratives about both markets and the Iran situation.
