'The truth is, this is a disaster' - Douglas Macgregor | Blenheim Partners

In Episode 139 of the No Limitations podcast Last Man Standing, Blenheim Partners’ Gregory Robinson speaks to Col. Douglas Macgregor (ret.), Former Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense.

In a thought-provoking discussion, which will no doubt generate significant debate, Douglas provides a commentary on the state of leadership in the wider world today. He turns to the major flashpoints across the globe, and he assesses the rapidly escalating conflict between Israel and other parties in the Middle East and the Russian war with Ukraine, sharing his perspective as someone who has endured the horrors and futility of war. Douglas also evaluates the likelihood of an act of aggression by China against its immediate neighbours such as Taiwan in the South China Sea. Returning to the United States, Douglas emphasises the need for cultural unity and the successful assimilation of new waves of immigration into mainstream society. He also touches on the need to act decisively to reduce the burgeoning government debt and the possibility of emerging nations embracing bitcoin to curb the influence of the United States dollar.

Douglas was first commissioned into the United States Army in 1976. During his 28 years of service, he was a leader of the 1st Squadron 4th Cavalry, the 1999 Kosovo Air Campaign, the Battle of 73 Easting during the Gulf War, and the offensive into Baghdad in 2002. By the time of his retirement in 2004, Douglas was a decorated veteran with several awards for meritorious service, including the National Defense Service Medal and the Army Commendation Medal. More recently, Douglas was the Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense, a position he held until then-President Trump left office. Douglas has written several books on military operations which have been the catalyst for profound changes in defense strategy in the United States and abroad. Douglas has also appeared as a defense analyst on Fox News, CNN, BBC, Sky News and public radio.

So Americans know about these. then what the heck happened on US immigration policy as a joke in US election year?!
We Chinese knows about these on our recorded history. That's why we do not worry about USA in the long run. What we really worried is India.
But anyway, good luck for American Empire, The most easily-built empire in world history. The most easily built is probably means most easily being collapsed...

Germanic virtues of intellectual and emotional DISCIPLINE made America Great.

These virtues cannot be surrendered. Assimilation to these virtues are expected of all new Americans.

You are so right Mr. Mcgregor, like always, our own cities are being erased step by step, western Europe its no more Europe sadly, miss the peace and safety in these countries. Travel around Europe before was a pleasure, now its more like a dangerous sport

[lightfoot]

First..Thank you for your service Sir...Second..Thank you for your truth telling, , And Philidelphia isnt the only city thats gone..And America if not already gone..will be soon...

[TruthSeeker]

And, who lived in Phili before your ancestors ???!!! Immigrants are people in distress because mostly their country was severly harmed by Western Imperialism... Like it or not, this is The Truth...

[WTF]

English writer poet Rudyard Kipling said: “race makes the place”
This is culturally true
Go to any neighbourhood and it reflects the majority culture

[gezalesko]

apart from bushmans in Africa we were all immigrants at one point..

[edaiston]

People like Macgregor said the same things about the Irish immigrants one hundred years ago.

[Wendy.]

Are you listening to this Albanese. Enough with the Palestinian refugees🇦🇺

[fatemaalbalooshi]

I do agree with you, not regarding Moslems though, because Islam is a religion of faith that adheres to strict moral values one of which not to steal or damage properties, or cause harm to others. That not to say that all moslems adheres to that. As I said in the beginning, I do agree with you regarding strangers coming to my country and taking roles in all aspects of life without a distinction between who is the rightful owner of the land and the country. There should be a limit to the numbers of migrants coming to the country. Having said that, I wish to ask you this question, are you willing to leave America back to Scotland? The country you’re living in now is belong to the American Indigenous people, the Great American-Indians Nation. It is, of course, a ridiculous notion but it is a point for thought and a true one, meaning: no one can stop human flux because it is a natural phenomenon since the beginning of creation whether we like it or not. In the end, I must say that I have great respect towards you because you always speak the truth about how you feel and how you think.

[stephm]

I'll be damn... ! First time I agree somewhat with the old fart MacGregor... For once he was not cheering the russian army...

[benjoudi]
