On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Col. Douglas Macgregor, former Senior Advisor to the US Secretary of Defense in the Trump Administration, and CEO of Our Country, Our Choice. He discusses why the US is woefully unprepared for all out war against either Iran, Russia, or China and the growing perception of US weakness around the world, how each branch of the US Armed Forces has become its own lobby and therefore weakening the US’ preparedness as a whole, the US’ system of bullying both allies and adversaries around the world leading to the rise of BRICS and a multipolar world, the control of the US government by oligarchs and donors both under Democrat and Republican administrations, and the US’ weakness stemming from the US clinging to an outdated political system. In the second half, he discusses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political manoeuvring to create a ‘Greater Israel’ and Israeli hegemony over the Middle East with US backing, Iran’s capability to level Israel with missiles and Turkey’s ability to flood Israel with 2 million troops, Russia’s continuing path to victory in the proxy war in Ukraine, the media and political establishment’s suppression of Robert F.
