Col Douglas Macgregor: The U.S. Has Run Out of Options (New Prediction)

He compares it directly to Vietnam: no attainable objective, no good ideas, blood and treasure squandered, and eventually a quiet pack-up and withdrawal that reshapes how every country in the world calculates American power. Macgregor argues that the U.S. has now thrown everything it has at Iran short of a nuclear weapon and it has not worked. He says every country watching from the outside, China, Russia, Brazil, the Gulf states, is drawing the same conclusion: American military power has a ceiling and they just found it. He compares the moment to Britain after the Boer War, when the empire began to look weak and never fully recovered its standing. He explains why the Strait of Hormuz cannot be forced open militarily. Lloyds of London closed the strait, not Iran, and no amount of bombing changes the insurance calculus. He warns that if the U.S. president follows through on threats to destroy Iran's energy infrastructure and desalination plants, the Gulf will not recover for decades. He also predicts that Britain, France, and the wider NATO alliance will eventually refuse to participate, drawing the parallel to Harold Macmillan keeping Britain out of Vietnam. Macgregor closes with the human dimension. He warns that the longer a war lasts, the more both sides dehumanise each other, and the harder it becomes for officers to hold their soldiers in check. He says wars should be fought for limited objectives, not unlimited purposes, and that this one is being fought for the destruction of Iran on behalf of the Israeli state and its agents in Washington. This interview was recorded as US gas prices climbed 37% since the war began, as the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago warned of a new inflation surge, and as 40 countries met virtually to coordinate pressure on Iran without the United States or Israel in the room. 📚 Sources cited in this video: • U.S. Energy Information Administration, Strait of Hormuz https://eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=39932 • International Energy Agency, Oil Market Report https://iea.org/reports/oil-market-report • Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Inflation Outlook https://chicagofed.org • Lloyd's of London, War Risk and Marine Insurance https://lloyds.com/market-resources/war-risk • CSIS, Strait of Hormuz and Global Energy Security https://csis.org/analysis/strait-of-hormuz • Congressional Research Service, US Military Operations in the Persian Gulf https://sgp.fas.org/crs/mideast/ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This channel provides geopolitical commentary and analysis for educational and informational purposes only.
