Col Doug Macgregor: IRAN MUST FINISH the JOB TOO (Daniel Davis)

Col Macgregor on the Daniel Davis channel that pretty much nails how things are actually working. Compare this to the narrative you may have heard from the MSM.

The Strait of Hormuz is essentially closed, despite what Trump has said recently. The fall in the price of oil is a paper market scam helped by the release of strategic fuel reserves. The price of oil coming off ships at the moment is 140 dollars per barrel. Netanyahu is currently in Washington, and no matter what is schemed, the military reality is that there is nothing they can do to stop the Iranians short of WMD strikes. In fact, Iran get devastate all countries in the region by striking oil, water and power installations causing a humanitarian and economic crisis. 

Macgregor further points out that all US bases in the region can be smashed, almost beyond repair, forcing a US military withdrawal from the region. What's happening now, with US attempts to negotiate a peace, is more like a rear-guard action before they are kicked out.  

The video also looks at Ukraine's attempts to expand their war to include attacks on Iran and talk of Europe escalating things. However, Macgregor rightly points out that Europe is going broke, and that they would sooner collapse than engage in any long term military operations. 

The real beneficiary of this fighting, according to Macgregor, is China that can come in and provide support to the rest of the world as the US undermines itself. However, one must consider what high oil prices might do to the internal stability of China.

The biggest issue the US faces is control by Israeli interests where both wars, in Ukraine and against Iran, are neocon projects. Macgregor explains that these wars are not in the interests of the USA, and that the present level of external influence would have been seen as treasonous in times past.  

Note: The end of the video covers historical facts about Ukraine - that it was put together in Soviet times. The east and south of the country had been Russian territories for hundreds of years, populated by Russians.
