Hmmmm.

My attention span isn't that long, so, I'm out.

Per ChatGPT:

The video opens with retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor, a frequent commentator on U.S.–Russia relations, presenting a stark view of the war in Ukraine and broader geopolitical dynamics. Macgregor frames his talk around the idea that the conflict has already entered a decisive phase and that recent strategic decisions — particularly by Russian President Vladimir Putin — will fundamentally reshape the geopolitical landscape.

Macgregor begins by asserting that the narrative presented in much Western media — that Ukraine is winning or that Russia is faltering — is misleading or outright false. He claims that Russia’s military objectives are largely being met and that the Ukrainian armed forces are weakened, encircled, or isolated in pockets along the front. In his view, the Russian military has intentionally avoided maximum destruction in cities and civilian areas, which has slowed but not derailed its progress, and that this approach demonstrates strategic restraint rather than weakness.

He criticizes Western governments and media for what he calls “wishful thinking” about Ukrainian successes. According to Macgregor, Western audiences are repeatedly told that the Ukrainian military is inflicting significant losses on Russian forces, but he questions these narratives, arguing they are inflated and lack independent verification. He suggests that Western leaders maintain this narrative for political reasons — to justify continued weapons shipments, sanctions, and a hard line against Russia.

The central claim implied by the video title — “They’re all dead…” — reflects Macgregor’s broader thesis that continued escalation could lead to catastrophic losses on all sides. He foretells that the war, if prolonged, stands to produce extremely high casualty counts, potentially destabilizing European security and global political order. He warns viewers to prepare for dramatic strategic shifts as Russia pursues its next moves.

A key part of his argument focuses on Putin’s strategy. Macgregor proposes that Russia will not be coerced into concessions by sanctions or battlefield setbacks. Instead, he suggests Putin may pivot to actions that force a reconsideration of NATO policy, U.S. involvement, and European defense priorities. In Macgregor’s framing, Russia’s actions are less about territorial conquest and more about compelling Western powers to recognize that continued confrontation is unsustainable.

He also touches on internal Western politics, arguing that U.S. leadership — particularly in Washington — is constrained by domestic political pressures which limit openness to negotiation or compromise. Macgregor warns that the longer the conflict drags on, the greater the strain on U.S. and European economies and political systems, particularly in relation to energy prices, inflation, and public support for foreign policy choices.

Throughout, Macgregor frames his commentary within a broader critique of conventional foreign policy establishment thinking. He urges audiences to question mainstream narratives, to consider the real human cost of extended conflict, and to recognize that global power relations — especially between the U.S., NATO, and Russia — may be approaching a dramatic inflection point.

Meh.... I used to listen to him, but NOTHING he's said about this Ukraine war nor about Iran has proven to be true.
Especially Iran. Him and Scott Ritter are full of shite. IMHO

There are multiple examples of the exact opposite available to anyone paying any attention.

This dude has been wrong about everything from the start in 2022.




Eta: if the big take away is that lots of people have died in a war lasting several years… no shite?

Are you saying that 2M people haven't died in the Ukraine War?

I'm saying that McGregor has proven himself to be clueless since the early 2000's
