Video Infoblog: Douglas Macgregor Warns: Russian Missiles READY In Iran & Hezbollah, Israel Air Defense In PANIC!
well just as Mr seninsky is desperate to involve us and nato in his War he really wants to bring in the United States armed forces in some fashion along with NATO because it's the only way he knows that he can survive you have a similar Phenomenon with Mr Netanyahu Mr Netanyahu has known from the very beginning of this crusade to rid Israel of its Arabs through Mass expulsion and murder that the only way to do that is with American help and and assistance he needs American military power to augment his own and protect him thus far he's gotten most of what he wants but now he's made it very clear he wants to widen the war and he has provoked the Iranians repeatedly with a goal of precipitating an Iranian attack that he could then point to and say see they are the aggressive dangerous party here now we must all work to destroy Iran and you know I think that's what he would like to see happen right there are some problems with it the first problem is the Russians you know over the last several weeks through a successive visits of the foreign minister the defense minister the security Council and so forth have fashioned and a relationship with Iran that has resulted in the arrival in Iran of large numbers of Russian missiles Russian electronic warfare gear Russian Radars including S400 and even elements of the S500 air and missile defense systems it's very clear that the Russians have thousands of people on the ground now in Iran they have committed themselves to help Iran defend itself so that's number one number two just this morning of course it may have been last night uh depending upon your time zone the Chinese foreign minister called to speak specifically with the Iranian foreign minister and supreme leader and reassure them that China stands with them that if Iranian sovereignty is uh at risk that they will intervene to help now he didn't say but I mean the implication is we're not going to let you go under right and of course China has enormous interest in The Straits of Horus correct you know if they can't get access to the Natural Gas and the oil their their production engine effectively seizes up right so I think that's th those two developments are things that we should watch carefully now look at the the Saudis the Saudis have now said no if the Iranians are going to attack Israel we're not going to we're not going to assist Israel the Egyptians have said said the same thing so of the jordanians right now in Egypt and Jordan th those governments hang by a thread General CC in Egypt King Abdullah in Jordan are on very very fragile ground they are seen rightly or wrongly by their populations as Israeli and American puppets well they've got to think carefully about what their next moves are or they may vanish and if they vanish quickly then you will have governments that are absolutely universally hostile 100 % to uh Israel and will cooperate not only with Iran but also with the Turks right to take on and Destroy Israel people say oh well that'll never happen well an awful lot has happened that everyone said would never happen right now we have a relationship between Saudi Arabia and Iran that people thought was impossible the Shia and the Sunni are now cooperating right it's sort of like that picture of the uh olster Protestants with the Irish Catholics walking arm inarm down the street because they figured out that the real enemy is not each other but the this foreign alien presence and this globalist government inside Ireland we have a similar feature of of of reality striking now in the Middle East people are saying whatever our differences are we have a much bigger problem because remember Israel is also the one state that everybody knows has nuclear weapons and everybody fears will use them that's the problem neither we nor the Russians will deliberately employ use of a nuclear weapon against each other we're not going to do it okay so both of us have effectively said that okay when you go to Iran which does not have nuclear weapons but it can get access to them very quickly has MA basically said the same thing the Turks have always had access to a nuclear weapon when they wanted it because of their close relationship with Sunni Pakistan so the whole area right now is at a slow boil if you will okay the biggest mistake the Israelis could make would be to use a nuclear weapon of any kind right and I've always feared that if they go into Southern Lebanon given the losses that they've sustained against tamas and the condition of the current Israeli ground force that they would be inclined to use a tactical nuclear weapon if they do that then all bets are off they they well could be subject to nuclear attack now I don't think it has to go that way and you can certainly do enough damage to each other with conventional armaments that you don't need nuclear weapons but we know the Israelis have them and they they don't hesitate to threaten that use behind closed doors and in back channels and that doesn't seem to have the effect that it once did the effect has changed in the past the various Muslim states would back down immediately saying you know that's not what we want but that's not what's happening now behind closed doors in the Middle East everyone has decided that of Israel right in fact people are saying quite openly and I'm talking about people in the foreign offices at at the level just below foreign minister they're saying uh this this is the end of the balfor Declaration and all the arrangements that have ever been made in other words Israel as far as we're concerned is off the table now we're we're not going to tolerate it right so we'll see it's but it's not good and the problem is that we continue to fuel this we continue to escalated and we could stop it you know you want to stop the war in Ukraine it's very easy you suspend all military aid to this Rogue regime I mean how many billions of dollars have been stolen and are sitting around in Cyprus cypriot Banks Albanian Banks Swiss banks whatever is anybody's guess it it's just ludicrous nonsense the notion that we should pour a single solitary dime into that place is absurd it always was and worse than that there's no sense of humanity anymore in the west you have to look at the plight of the Ukrainian population about which I my suspicion is zinsky could care less I mean we have no idea how many hundreds of thousands of children and women have been trafficked right we we can't even begin to extrapolate from the war how many people have actually been killed or left the country you know now they're talking about 600,000 dead Ukrainian soldiers and I can remember when I said 500,000 and people said oh you're crazy can't be can't be the case now the word the number is 600,000 right this is not going to get any better it can only get worse for the people there the best thing we can do is suspend Aid to the place military aid and offer humanitarian assistance correct and then ask for some sort of uh face-to-face discussion with the Russians whether or not the ukrainians are there doesn't matter anymore this is now an issue that goes beyond Ukraine it involves Europe and the United States we should see it that way and we should come to some sort of strategic arrangement that makes sense for everyone right but this government's not going to do it they're going to let as many people die as is necessary to keep this going through the election and my concern is given the choice of personnel that surround president Trump that could absolutely happen under his administration as well so not good news so so when will this end it's not going to end immediately but I think the potential to end it in Ukraine is there the potential to negotiate an end for it in the Middle East is very hard right I think the the potential for a two-state solution is dead it it doesn't seem a two-state solution is has any chance of ever passing I I think I don't think that's um I mean we know Israel has no interest in that I think this is obviously Netanyahu is taking his Extreme Measures I mean in his perfect world I mean he I think he would annihilate you know every Palestinian I mean he doesn't have any interest in in preserving them or or anything I mean that's exactly what we're seeing and I I want to talk more about Netanyahu specifically because I I mean we see protests you know in Israel against Netanyahu um you know I think there's a lot of pressure I mean he obviously came to the United States on this big tour um you know trying to drum up supportting Congress you know putting an American flag on his shoulders you know trying to really you know Lobby to the people but I think there is a there's obviously a big movement here in the United States especially with the youth you know being very concerned with the plight of the Palestinians I mean even that was even um shown in the Olympics you know when the Palestinians were coming out on their boat on the opening cerem you know the the flag bearer had the shirt on with the bombs being dropped on kids playing soccer I mean the world is watching you know the plight of the Palestinians and you know there's no doubt about it that Netanyahu is you know going down the roads of genocide you know trying to get rid of these long term what do you think with his you know potential future I mean you know again from Israel's perspective they have you know they' have not really done anything to get these hostages back I think he has a extreme amount of pressure on him as as the leader of Israel many Israelis wanting him to to resign and get replaced what is the future for him is he going to receive uh Death By A Thousand Cuts you know is he is he you know on the way out or is he pretty much solidified and going to be there for for as long as he wants when prime minister Netanyahu was voted into power and I I asked many Israelis about him one of the principal reasons they voted for him was they were convinced that he was by far the most intelligent man for the job he had the brains uh the political skills and uh people generally shared his vision I don't think they share his vision of what I would call an updated version of Armageddon right now right but it's hard to tell and inside Israel there are there are very serious divisions and splits inside the Israeli electorate but on the whole they can generally agree with his larger proposition that the Arabs need to get out and that Israel needs to be a Jewish State now I I certainly can understand how they feel and why they feel that way the problem with that approach is killing and expulsion is there nothing else that could be done and of course at this stage of the game it's irrelevant whatever we suggest could have been done is no longer possible too much blood has been spilled okay so I think Israel and netanyahu's fate are inextricably intertwined I don't think the Israelis can divorce themselves completely from Netanyahu even if they removed him okay I don't think any successor that's out there on the stage whether it's General gun or any of the others can step in and necessarily chart a fundamentally different course if anything they have precipitated you know a a a series of alliances that have to be described as blowback on a strategic level that no one has ever seen before in the region so I don't I don't you know I've worried from the very outset when it became clear that and you know we got to go back to 7 October and everyone was horrified and sh by that correct but then as you looked at it it didn't make any sense because I was there in in 2020 in February I saw the uh security measures that had been taken and and saw the officers that were in command they were extraordinarily competent intelligent people they knew within seconds who shot someone or fired around or did anything in Gaza so the notion that they could have been surprised was always something that I found hard to accept correct now we have more and more information suggesting that they weren't surprised necessarily that what happened was that the even the Israeli intelligence cell that was tasked with watching Gaza 24 hours a day seven days a week had warned of of something like this coming and at the same time you have the deputy chief of uh intelligence in Israel who called directly to isra to Israel's intelligence leadership and warn them of this imminent attack there was no effort to move Attack Helicopters tanks equipment other things into the region to deal with it and you have this music festival with all these young people in very close proximity to something that everybody knew was was dangerous and volatile was all of this designed to precipitate the the conflict that we see now I think you have to begin to ask that question because certainly right there's a limit to what you can do in terms of responding in other words what what is proportional is the always the issue these were terrible things that happened what do we do to the people in Gaza how to what extent do we punish them to how do we get to Hamas and so forth but we went well beyond that within weeks we were dealing with a campaign on a much larger scale it was very obvious to everybody now this has blown up into a regional campaign to essentially establish Jewish Supremacy in the region I don't think there's much question about that and that's that's a very dangerous proposition in an area where you have hundreds of millions of Muslims the assumption that that is even attainable is dangerous and you cannot call everyone an animal right and then expect them to cooperate with you it it it it's absurd I don't know it doesn't it doesn't look like something that we in the United States we Americans who care about Israel want Israel to survive think that Israel should survive can fix yeah I think it's just uh unfortunately this this region of the world has had a troubled history for really since the founding of Israel I mean it's been controversial and but I think I think people have to understand that it's not as violent as we think in in the regional sense if you go back and look over the last 300 years in fact there's Maps there to illustrate this and it looks at the frequency of conflict and violence and War around the world there's remarkably little there right huge concentrations in Europe right huge concentrations in North America because we conquered the continent right uh some some conflicts elsewhere but even in Asia remarkably few so we got to got to be honest with ourselves that Israel has turned out ultimately to be a true Catalyst for conflict and whenever people stood up and said we've got to find a different way forward we you know Israel has to live within the framework of the region it has to tolerate and get along with its neighbors that was rejected right we could have helped that I think we tried from time to time certainly was the case with Nixon subsequently Carter and even Clinton but since then it's Fallen apart and I don't know that you can put that thing together again right right and I and I don't think uh there will be any substantive change you know even given the result of this election in the United States you know come November I I think this war if one of the two main candidates win I think you're right I don't think much will change if if you got the third choice I think there's some potential for change right I don't know how much because it's a difficult question for us as you point out I've always been very supportive of Israel right I think it's a as an immense potential to be a very positive force both in the region and globally but right now it doesn't look good right
