re: Col. Douglas MacGregor, Scott Ritter, John MearSheimer, Jeffrey Sachs etc

John Mearsheimer is not just some "online political commentator." He is a renowned scholar in the field of international relations. I was introduced to his ideas nearly 15 years ago in graduate studies. His philosophy on the way the international realm operates has been consistent and for some reason no one accused him of being a stooge for a foreign power back then...

Douglas MacGregor is a decorated military strategist and combat veteran in the first Gulf War. His loyalty to America likewise has never been called into question until his willingness to publicly buck the intelligence agencies and neocon power apparatus. He worked for the Trump administration because his ideals most closely align with Trump's. There aren't many major candidates who buck the neo-con establishment positions on foreign policy, so it's not really hard to figure out why he appears friendly with Trump.
