Col Doug Macgregor: NATO Hungry for MORE WAR

Col Doug Macgregor sharply criticizes Western leaders and commentators—naming Zelenskiy, EU/NATO officials, and others—for simplistic, propagandistic talking points that treat war as a “push-button” exercise and demand Russia surrender unconditionally. He argues these actors are out of touch, repeating narratives crafted by intelligence services and foreign capitals, and that their approach risks prolonging the conflict.

By contrast he portrays Putin as a serious, experienced strategist who understands nuclear deterrence and whose recent comments about tests and retaliation reflect professional knowledge rather than bluster. The speaker warns that escalating Western military support (e.g., Tomahawks, mission planning) creates a dangerous façade that lets the war continue, while real stresses—frontline losses, desertions, and collapsing sectors around places like Prosk and Kupansk—are mounting for Ukraine.

He expresses fear that continued hardline policies could precipitate a wider, even global, conflict and calls for abandoning “outrageous demands” that expect Russia to simply disarm and retreat. Overall the tone is deeply skeptical of Western policy, sympathetic to Russian capability and deterrence logic, and pessimistic about the war’s sustainability and the wisdom of current Western choices.
