A discussion with Colonel #DouglasMacgregor, retired USArmy. On episode 37 of the Black Market Leadership podcast, Kevin Black asks the colonel, Is #Russia the #SovietUnion?

Colonel Douglas Macgregor is the author of #MarginOfVictory, considered a major disruptor in the modern US military. He was commander during the last great #tank #battle in the 20th century. He has been called the #BillyMitchell of his time and even #GeneralPatton of the late/modern era.

He’s a regular on the #TuckerCarlsonTonight on #FoxNews, discussing #WashingtonDC, #GlobalStrategy, and the #military.

a very smart man COL Douglas Macgregor wished more men like him would come out and also get more involved in US politics to turn the US back, serving the interests of the American people, those men live in reality they would negotiate better with Russia, China and Iran....and would probably find better ways and agreements while stabilizing our economy...what we can not say about the current clowns incongress and government

If Russia is still Soviet, then so would Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus be Soviet. Ukraine vs Russia is ex-Soviet vs ex-Soviet. Stalin was a Georgian.

A year ago and too many have still not educated themselves. I wonder if the same points should be considered toward the patriarch, bishops, etc, in the Orthodox Church when slandered by statements about having been in the KGB.

Thomas Jefferson once said, ” the enemy within is more dangerous than standing
armies .” I suspect this is the case for every country In the west, wise words indeed

My Russian Professor is an amazing scientist & Zoologist and Paleontologist: is a great admirer of Czarist Russia and completely rejects communism while born into a Russian Orthodox Christian family he now is a devout Vajrayana Buddhist. Obviously today Russia is a great multicultural democracy with strong roots in The Orthodox Church emphasizing strong family values and nationalism. In many respects it has more advanced technology than the consolidated west. The west need not be so terrified of the Russia of today which is not communist and so needn't work wholeheartedly for its destruction.

But Uncle Douglas, if that truly was our view of the world we would not be allowed to run around with Mexican flags on the streets of East Palo Alto on Sinquo de Mayo! We're goddamned liars and hypocrites who forgot who we are and what America stands for and joined the Blake Association. That's all.
