COL. Douglas Macgregor : Is Putin Losing Patience?

The U.S. keeps troops in South Korea to maintain global hegemony and justify its military force structure, not for defense. South Korea has been trying for decades to gain sovereign control over its own armed forces.

China will eventually help unify Korea and ensure regional neutrality once the U.S. leaves.

She lacks expertise in national security and is not on the relevant committee.

Graham's honesty is rare and commendable, but she will likely be controlled by establishment handlers.

The U.S. debt trajectory is unsustainable and the government is borrowing to repay debt, which will lead to collapse. The Treasury and Fed have lost control of bond yields, which are rising naturally due to lost market trust.

Imposing secondary tariffs on Iran's trading partners is unwise given U.S. economic weakness and Chinese debt holdings.

Trump should meet with Xi to quickly end the Gulf conflict and cooperate on stabilizing the U.S. economy.

The Israeli-Turkish division of Syria is a temporary, unstable arrangement similar to the Nazi-Soviet pact. Israel is aggressively pushing toward war with Turkey, enabled by its control over U.S. military policy.

Putin's warning to the UK implies potential global retaliation, not just localized responses in Ukraine. Russia is significantly escalating its bombing campaign and ground advances in southern Ukraine to secure Novorossiya.

European publics oppose war with Russia and drafts, but governments rig elections to stay in power and suppress nationalists.

European governments will soon collapse domestically, ending their support for Ukraine.

AIPAC funds hundreds of congressional campaigns to force pro-war policies that contradict public opinion. Trump has worsened the influence of pro-war interests, and the U.S. is now facing unavoidable collapse.
