Col. Macgregor has been right about a lot recently but he’s getting three things wrong in this interview… 1) when Tony Blinken says Hamas must be wiped out, he doesn’t mean it and is following the Obama playbook for speaking nobly with rhetorical effect for American good feeling for Israel while at the same time undermining Israel and Netanyahu. When you’re extorting Israel’s resupply and war effort by conditions and then the President insists on aid for Gaza, you will have undercut Israel’s effort massively; 2) Russia has no strong love for Iran… it has interests in common with Iran that it nurtures. If Iran gets walloped by Israel, it’s not certain how Russia will respond. They may threaten dire actions but do we believe they would risk nuclear confrontation to save Iran, whose people have been rioting against the regime for years now. The vacuum created by deposing/destroying Iran’s leaders and guard corps would be filled by an angry populace… quickly. Russia would have to salvage the regime in Iran and wage war for Iran’s interests. That overextends them; 3) the size and barbarity of the attack on 10/7 requires Israel do as much damage to Gaza, without regard to collective punishment, not for revenge but for survival; Americans and good people everywhere understand that Gazans voted in Hamas and approve of their actions against Israel. The only tragedy for Gaza would be that small group who actually do want peace… a minority would suffer the same fate as Hamas. Surviving, for Israel, means wiping out Hamas no matter how many Gazans are killed. Failure to do so means Israel will face a worse existential scenario later. This sort of effort was made during the second intifada… because it had to be done.
I don’t read Erdogan’s offer for mediation as statesmanship but rather as an opportunistic means of piling on Israel in the world press to keep Israel from doing what it must.
#3 seems mandated by Gd.
And GD isn’t asleep.
Unfortunately this isn’t true. “Americans and good people everywhere understand that Gazans voted in Hamas and approve of their actions against Israel.” We still have far too many that follow the herd and whatever the visuals the media shows them. They are the same ones that fell for the Ukrainian lies, the vaxx lies, and all the other lies because they don’t know how to think for themselves, read, or are just too busy w/their own lives to know or understand the truth. All they know how to do is parrot what is being said.
Very true. And from the Muslim perspective, all the “civilians” in Gaza are dead already, about to be made martyrs for Islam and Jihad. They’ll caterwaul about the “evil Jews” and the world will probably turn against Israel on the opinion front.
But then, that was the point of this insanely brutal terrorist attack.
Palestinians exist to be human land mines. They want Israel to be forced to step on them. That is how they will blow up Israel.
Our great education system at work. Universities whose only product is a football team.
No they produce/teach radical hateful theories like CRT! They produce graduates like obama, one world gov. loving, self-centered, self-important, self-righteous, America hating, white hating, progressives by the boatload!!! JMO
Football is the university’s cash cow, and most of the Woke Marxist profs detest college athletics cuz the ‘Jocks’ get the lion’s share of university funds.
interestingly- Harvard as 200 + sports organizations, athletes have an 87.5% chance of acceptance solely on the basis of their athletics, not academics. ATHLETES make up 22% of the accepted incoming class every year.
And you would be surprised, perhaps, at how many world class athletes in the US flyover country turn down Harvard, the Ivy League, etc.
voted in 2006. more than half the population was not yet of voting age in 2006
“Americans and good people everywhere understand that Gazans voted in Hamas and approve of their actions against Israel.”
This was Osama Bin Laden’s justification for 9-11.
Be careful who’s company you keep.
Lot less of them these days. Not that it matters, they still vote the same way dead.
Actually, the largest party, and still growing, are the Independents.
Remember, it’s ok now for the MSM to put down and reveal the real Biden. The door has been cracked and with the Sound of Freedom, which MSM didn’t think to say they couldn’t watch, so they did, that door is wide open.
It is also ok to follow Universities and Colleges in decrying pro Palestinian propaganda, which dictates HATE against Israel/US and more MONEY going out of the door to support Foreign Policy/Biden Crime Family, not toward Ukraine as much, this time supposedly going to Palestine/Hamas.
All this info is on MSM for the masses to rally against, Biden’s anti-America issues, international child slavery organizations using our Open Borders, up to 100,000 children missing or handed off to Pedophiles.
And now, warnings of barbaric terrorism coming across our border as well. MSM has actually shown what to expect from these most worst terrorists ever, not what they do to warring factions, but to innocents, preying especially on the young, old and most peaceful.
The fake propaganda doesn’t work like it used to, where MSM and those on SM tried to make it seem the majority were, for example, pro terrorist violence, so the minority should shut up.
The masses/majority are now the Independent Party, switched over because they are awake to such fake bs.
Gazans send ALL their children to schools that teach their children to hate Jews … EVERY SINGLE PARENT … they may not approve of Hamas … they MOST CERTAINLY approve of killing Jews … in fact I’d bet a good percentage of them think Hamas is TOO SOFT on the Jews …
a specific age group within the US has no support for the Jews of Israel. They do not know the history, which is important to understand. So it should be Good people of America who understand that Gazans voted for Hamas. Our stupid young people support HAMAS because they were indoctrinated to hate Israel and the Jews.
i doubt that there are innocents left in Gaza. They are ALL Hamas.
Genocide tastic
Half of the population of Gaza are under 18.
so what ? the killing fields of Cambodia were done by teenagers … EVERY teenager in Gaza has been raised and taught to hate/kill Jews …
re: #3
see 1 Samuel 15:33 Amalekites
#1 – Blinken said what he said; that he’s an Obama puppet should always be a consideration, but does not obviate Col. Macgregor’s insights.
#2 – Putin’s all-consuming hate for the United States might drive him to aide the Iranian Mullahs, if only to further destroy our fragile republic
#3 – Spot on. Same with Erdogan.
“Putin’s all-consuming hate for the United States ”
You’re projecting like the best leftist. Its the Neocons hate for Russia that caused the Ukraine conflict.
Please. It was the bankers.
Same difference
MacGregor despises Jews, like the rest of our elite class. He is perfectly willing to see Israel destroyed. Only Israel will not cooperate. Nor should they.
Do we know that about MacGregor?
could you please provide some references to back up your statement “MacGregor despises Jews”?; I can’t seem to find any supporting evidence
While I do not agree with all of MacGregor’s analyses,
I have noticed that he has a surprising knowledge of history,
promotes common sense actions,
endeavors to be fair and give credit where it is due,
is unafraid to call out corruption and lies and deceit,
is far more patriotic and honest than most US politicians,
is no warmonger.
Agreed, however, it was interesting to me what MacGregor didn’t say about the sanctions. He didn’t mention the pallets of cash that obama released to Iran, that certainly helped their missile development, nor did he mention the billions of dollars of military equipment that was left in Afghanastan that are surely enriching our enemies in that region. He also didn’t mention that obama drove many of the sane, seasoned military from the upper ranks. It seems to me the globalist cabal (and those that answer to them in this administration) is deliberately setting up a power keg for the very purpose of detonation.
Who on earth do you think our “elite class” are?
Look at political funding. 75% of Dem funding and 50% of Republican political funding comes from Jewish donors.
Ever seen an AIPAC conference?
Just because they’re Jewish doesn’t mean they all support Israel.
Obviously. But that wasn’t the point I wax replying too.
I’m sick of your racist bs. You don’t know anything except what FOX tells you. You’re pathetic.
Well said Mr. Goldfisher. I have a hard time reconciling the fact that billions are flowing into Iran from the Biden (Obama) administration. Must be a lot of kickback going on. Why would Biden even attack Iran when it could very well be a source of illicit funds for the crooks in DC?
If only Israel we not so dependent on US military aid. Maybe they could finish the job and get some peace for longer than a decade or two.
As for Russia, they are depleted and will not waste their ammo defending Iran. Ukraine is still an issue and if fighting is over then there’s a lot of rebuilding to do.
China, IMHO, is in it for the exposure. They only care about capturing Taiwan with little or no damage. The infrastructure of Taiwan must be intact for future economic reasons. For that, they will need a lot of international support which I doubt they can attain. Besides, they want to look tough and have a lot of investment throughout the Mideast to worry about.
China capturing Taiwan?
One paragraph. Three sentences. Last sentence is the most important.💁🤷♀️💁
https://www.state.gov/countries-areas/taiwan/
👆👆
Russia is not depleted of ammo.
They are currently producing more than twice the amount that US and NATO combined.
Capturing Taiwan?
One paragraph. Three sentences. The last sentence says it all. 💁🤷♀️
https://www.state.gov/countries-areas/taiwan/
Russia is not depleted.
It is currently manufacturing twice the amount of ammo than US and NATO combined.
take your BS somewhere else
Kind of a pattern, someone gets a bunch of stuff right, like they’ve been given the intel, then after they have people supposedly hooked, the fake stuff comes in a different cadence. Rushed, desperate, like their very life and that of their family depends on you believing them.
Information warfare is real, I agree that is a tactic, but are you referring to MacGregor specifically?
“ the size and barbarity of the attack on 10/7 requires Israel do as much damage to Gaza, without regard to collective punishment, not for revenge but for survival”
I agree. Since Israel left Gaza in 2005 there have been serial and chronic attacks on Israeli civilians. The history proves that these Muslim terrorists and their supporters do not seek peace. I see no realistic choice for Israel other than destroying Hamas removing them from Gaza. Perhaps something like the past PLO escape from Lebanon to Tunisia could be negotiated.
I absolutely do not agree that Russia will be drawn into protecting Iran, the history proves otherwise.
Let’s remember the past between the US and Iran and Muslim terrorists going back to the marine barracks, the hostages, 911, etc. the Obama and Biden billions appeasement and blood money repeatedly paid to Iran has brought us to this point.
I’m sure that Iran has many terrorist cells in the United States as a result of our open border and I am sure they will not hesitate to use them and will use them in the future. Appeasing Iran is not going to lessen that threat.
This reminds me of Britain prior to the second world war they had the same appeasement policy and it led to World War II . If they had disarmed Germany much earlier for violating the Versailles treaty there would have been no world war. You can’t appease barbaric terrorists, it will only get worse.
I think McGregor is not as wise as he once appeared to be. I listened to him more on Ukraine because I didn’t know much about it but I know a lot about this situation over the past six decades And I think his judgment is off-base. I do agree with him that we have put ourselves in a weak position and we need to reverse that because I think that even though we don’t want war that the Muslim terrorists and Iran want war with us.
The US has never fought militarily on behalf of Israel and I don’t expect them to do it now, Biden is there to stop Israel, and for his own purposes. However we have had our own problems with Iran as it is they who have sent likely hundreds of thousands of terrorist into our nation, and it is they who have already extended Muslim terrorism globally. A true threat to us directly. We should give Iran an ultimatum to remove all the terrorists from our soil. We should ourselves be removing all those terror cells from our soil.
McGregor is pushing the narrative, that has never worked, that you can appease and negotiate with terrorists.
Good points.
I find here an ignorant, vicious hatred for the Palestinaian people, a bloodthirsty desire for their death and destruction, and a hideous presumption that this hatred and thirst for blood are in accord with the will of God. Formerly I considered this to be a site with a Christian ethos. God help us if the hate-filled posters are representative of Christianity in the West.
You sound like one of the people I hear a lot lately who have only ever read small portions of the Bible and think it somehow gives you a full picture of the will of God.
Show me where I claim to know the will of God. I am responding to the people who DO claim to know the will of God, which conveniently accords with their own will.
David Mamet’s newest article is very intense: https://unherd.com/2023/10/how-the-democrats-betrayed-the-jews/
I read it. “Very intense” is one way to describe it. Mamet clearly points out how the Democrats have betrayed Jews, and that’s all true. Especially about that evil man, FDR. But Mamet also writes of Christianity that “Christianity came into being with the destruction of the Jewish State — the adherents were Jews whose Temple and culture had been destroyed. Every new religion, in its foundation myths, slanders its parent faith.”
Lovely. So Christianity only exists because the Roman destroyed the Temple and scattered (and murdered) the non-Christian Jews? (Most Christians of that first generation were Jews. St Luke is the only Gentile writer of the New Testament.)
Mamet also writes: “Afterwards, we find the Christian libel that the Jews killed Christ, the medieval information that we slay Christian children to bake their blood into matzoh, that we were the cause of the Second World War; and, currently, that we exist to murder Moslems.”
So, the Jewish leaders of that day didn’t kill Christ. I suppose the Romans did, just for the heck of it. And Christians have been slandering Jews ever since. Well, well. Sadly, the “blood libel” has indeed been around for ages, and it is a great evil. And Muslims hate Jews for a host of reasons, and certainly slander them. Perhaps an article like this gives insight for those interested into the intractable separation between Judaism and Christianity. A wise rabbi, Rabbi Abraham Heschel, famously said “Christianity is Judaism for Gentiles” But his was a rare wisdom, and sorely missed in these times.
I have read in various places that the Roman authorities, when they later had trouble with the Christians, blamed the death of Jesus on the Jews as a means of maintaining order and control in their empire. The Natzis later did the same thing with their big lie that the civilian government (which included some Jews) forced the germany military to surrender in ww1 (the “stab in the back”)
The Romans were not Christians.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theban_Legion
Constantine’s Mom worked to change that.
Saint Helena. She must have been a strong woman to be married to Constantine’s father, who served all over the empire, and of course mother to the headstrong Constantine. She was the one who went to (what was left of) Jerusalem, then a Roman city, and found the Tomb, and the Cross too, IIRC. Amazing woman.
I have read in various places that romans never actually threw Christians to the lions for entertainment. Nah I’m just making fun of that octo.
The Jews served as very handy scapegoats to a lot of people because they were “different”, and international. Napoleon told them they could do whatever they wanted so long as they more or less assimilated into French culture. The pre-Nazi Germans treated them better. Wilhelmine Germany was “philo-semitic”, and they thought they were safe there, and served the Kaiser well in WWI; then a new Pharaoh came to town. So as they’re between a rock and a hard place now in Israel, they’ve always been so, trying to remain distinctively Jewish and yet shunned or disliked for it. A perpetual Catch-22. Hence the importance of keeping Israel. But that effort just arouses the old animosities.
Conspiracy theory huh?
The records state that Paul started Christianity around 33CE after his conversion on the road to Damascus. The final destruction of the temple was in 70CE well after our faith was established. The Bible states it was the Jewish leaders who arrested Christ in the garden, took him to the Romans and demanded he be put to death even after the roman leader declared him innocent and not worthy of death. Also, the apostles preached that Jesus was the Christ right after his death. Reference to be made in Acts to begin.
It was because Christianity was already spreading in Jerusalem and the cities around including Damascus that Paul, then still Saul, travelled to Damascus to find and arrest Christians. In Luke’s record we know that thousands in Jerusalem including a great many priests had believed the message about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This preceded Paul’s conversion. It is also significant that it was only a decade later that Paul actually began his missionary journeys.
he washed his hands of it.
I stopped with ‘Christianity doesn’t exist’, because it’s true.
Now, why?
Reason: Nobody wants to get himself or his family up at 07h30 on a Sunday morning to go to Mass. Nobody.
The said ‘Church’ hasn’t adapted to the new lifestyle while mosques are filled on Fridays at noon.
Our church leaders, and ourselves, brought this upon them- and ourselves.
Churches are now shut down or converted.
OUR FAULT, as we never screamed at our local church to demand change.
Get cracking before it’s too late and make your voices heard.
WAKE UP!
END.
There are always Presbyterians. They are out late on Saturdays and plan Sunday worship accordingly.
I think the Church changed in the ’70s. It seemed prior to then the local community was the focus of the local church. Many community functions were hosted by the local church’s social committees. All fundraising efforts were meant to address local concerns.
Then new leadership took over the local church’s social committees and all fundraising efforts went to global charities. The local church cut off it’s connection to the local community.
Yes, they saw an opportunity to get the “numbers” up, started focusing on immigrants south of the border, facilitating illegal immigration.
Communists infiltrated the seminaries almost simultaneously with the schools. Both Diana West (American Betrayal and The Red Thread) and Curtis Bowers (Agenda: Grinding America Down) have detailed this in their respective historically-accurate analyses of the communists’ post-WWII (mostly) assault on our national character, values, and sovereignty
One can be Christian without belonging to a church or attending a church.
Christianity isn’t about organized, denominational, institutional religion, but is about having a personal relationship with Jesus and living according to the Bible to the best of your ability.
Why is it that congregations of devout Christians where preaching the Good News of Jesus and teaching the Scriptures is central are growing around the world but those congregations that have sought to make their message acceptable to modern society are dying? This is most evident in various European countries and becoming more evident in the USA. Not so in countries with the worst persecution like Iran and China and India where extraordinary growth is taking place. Paul summed it up, “faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” (Romans 10). Churches should not be surprised when they neglect preaching the Good News that they shrink and die.
The “Christian Church”, aka the Church, does not refer to a place or a building. The Church is the “Bride of Christ” – the collective population of the world who believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God who became incarnate in order to teach God’s doctrine, and submit to physical death on the cross in order to justify and save humanity spiritually from Sin.
I “attend church” every Sunday and often during the week – while staying in my house or visiting my sons home. We study the Bible via Youtube livestream or videos from previous livestreams that our preferred pastor and some of his congregants help make at his church in Austin Texas.. Been doing this since 2019, so the 2020 Plandemic never interfered.
Unfortunately Christian churches are driving away believers by perverting God’s Word, giving in to politically correct leftwing demands of “tolerance” and acceptance of deviant & perverted sexual practices, ordaining women as pastors, and redefining biblical texts per personal preference – teaching false doctrine – as opposed to teaching unmodified Doctrine via accurate translations of original scriptures using strong hermeneutics and exegetical teaching.
Churches became more of a social purpose rather than a means to strengthen faith. Combined with their giving in to political correctness, it’s no small wonder why believers stopped attending, nor why decreasing numbers of young people even are aware of the life-changing, life-saving reality of believing and understanding God’ Word.
Are you sure about Luke’s Goyim parentage? What was his last name?
Those guys didn’t have surnames too often, unless a locative like “Of Antioch”, so “Julius of Antioch” or the famous Saul of Tarsus. The Romans had a extensive system of names, usually three, such as Gaius Julius Caesar.
Scholars argue a lot about Luke (Loukas in Greek) as to whether he was A, a gentile or a Jew, and B, whether he was a doctor. Over the past 100 years, the argument swayed back and forth. If a Jew, then a very Greek one as his Greek is excellent, and he writes like a good Greek historian, of which many existed (they invented history, really). St. Paul, Saul of Tarsus, was a good writer in Greek as well and even somewhere or other quoted a pagan Greek poet!
If Loukas was not a Jew, he was probably a Hellenized (Greek-cultured) Syrian. We just don’t know. But he was obviously a historian, not a myth-maker, and a good friend to St. Paul..
There have been many “Christians” with false interpretations of the Bible, such as the most heinous, and sadly, most preached even today, that the Church replaces the Jews and that all the unconditional everlasting covenants God made with the Jews are no more.
Ironically, this brand of “Christianity” often goes by the name of Covenant Theology, apparently not seeing the Truth that if God could abandon His unconditional, everlasting covenants with Israel,, why wouldn’t he do the same with the Church?
By the way, God doesn’t have any direct covenant with the Church. We are grafted into his New Covenant with the Jews, but they are still His Chosen People.
I haven’t read Mamet’s article, but he is not wrong that “Christians” through the ages, being lead by politically motivated religious leaders into False Doctrine have indeed persecuted the Jews mercilessly. The Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the pogroms of the Russian Orthodox Czars are just a few groups who misused God’s Word to persecute His Chosen People. Tragic.
God as Jesus created The Church. He has a covenant with The Church. He tasked an Apostle to build it. His Rock.
There is not a Jew alive today that can trace lineage back to Ancient Israel. God did not make a covenant with these people.
The Jews did not physically kill Jesus, but had the Pontious Pilot do it for them.
It was Roman law that Roman’s were in charge of the courts. It was illegal for anyone else to hold court.
So, the Jew Saducees and Pharasees had Christ killed by ginning up thier flock in order to keep thier power. IMHO.
Partially correct.
They did give up the Jesus to the Romans.
However, it was not illegal for them to hold their own court system. Rome granted semi-autonomous powers for the Jews to execute their own laws. As they did with most all of their foreign provinces.
The reason why Jesus was given up to the Romans was that their law prohibited the justice they desired during Passover and they were in a hurry.
Additionally, their Hasmonean client king refused to execute. Lastly, they didn’t want a segment of the population to rise up against them for directly trying Jesus.
Caiphas
In John’s Gospel (John 1:10-12) is it clear that Jews – ordinary people not just their religious leaders – rejected Jesus Christ (but some did not):
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.
He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
Why did David Mamet, being a Jew, ignore the scathing and damning criticism of the Jewish people in their own scriptures? Just to mention two of these, the book of Isaiah and of Hosea. Both speak in language that many Western people would find most offensive if used against them and seek to edit or censor them – something the Jewish people never did but simply ignored them. On the other hand in the light of Paul’s letter to the Romans and in particular chapters 9-11 sets what should have been the attitude of Christians towards Jews which was one of deep concern and not hatred.
Tucker bringing up “moral victories” after the Col. listed off the ways we’d be screwed was absurd. Something is not right with him.
I’m pretty sure Tucker meant that ironically, i.e. he expected the Colonel to get his meaning–that there was no moral victory to be had. Just the way I heard it.
You’re probably right but I still don’t trust him.
It was a dry, sarcastic jab at the rich men, north of Richmond.
The reality of the world at war is the dangerous incompetence and evil now operating within the U.S. government.
It is unbelievably tragic to think these rotten DC morons tried to call themselves “adults back in charge.” These scoundrels are in so far over their heads, they could destroy the world in nuclear war and SOON !
Playing with all the bad ‘isms’ without the cerebral equipment to back it up.
Whether their agenda is to blow up the U.S. as they are holed up in their bunkers or not, they have no idea what external forces they will unleash.
This is islam vs. the non-believer, which is the rest of humanity. Period.
I doubt the reporting on the joint incursion of US special forces and the IDF in which they took heavy loses. If this had happened, Hamas would be crowing about it. Not a peep from Hamas or anyone else. False report.
Looming Israeli Attack Col Doug Macgregor Breaks Down What We Can Expecthttps://yt3.ggpht.com/5XT7bkgD6MJxbeT0IWEzzzLJ7sqHaQoam6mzbNBCgFu2dJL_oT7lOlClJzkz3Kxjq1mWBT22IWg=s88-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rjDaniel Davis / Deep Dive
Colonel MacGreggor may be overly cautious in his assessment concerning America’s military readiness, but I would rather listen to him than Miss Lindsey and the village idiot Blinken.
Luke 14:31
“Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?”
The crowd of poor and uneducated that listened to Jesus using this illustration undertood it perfectly well.
Our educated elite today just do not get it.
Ever wonder how intelligence glow worm Tucker gets such great interviews in Eastern Europe, specifically Hungary?

12:39: “…and remember, we’ve already used up many of our war stocks in Ukraine…”
Some suggest a pattern of intent by the US government to deplete war stocks while humiliating the US, leading up to the present crisis in Israel:
1) Afghanistan debacle ($80B left to Taliban, much routed to China and Russia for analysis.)
2) Ukraine debacle ($100B+, plus Israeli weapons sent to Ukraine.)
3) Hamas-Israel conflict (Positioning now to lose two US carrier groups and more to missile salvos.)
How many Javelins made their way into Gaza from Afghanistan and Ukraine? And the US Javelin stocks are down to less than 1/3 because of Ukraine, a shortfall that will require at least 2 years to backfill if all usage stops.
The recent loss of Israeli armor is an omen. Anti-tank weapons like Javelin are an equalizer.
Israel is backed into a corner. It cannot simply level Gaza, there are too many civilians – and how can one discriminate between Hamas and innocent civilians? It probably doesn’t even have the ordnance – Gaza is over 100 square miles. The conflict appears poised to become a debacle.
And as Macgregor observes, the muslim world is uniting against Israel now.
The flood of Palestinian terrorist sympathizers into the US in recent years also bodes ill for the US, at this moment.
Some might see the outline of a Plan to bring the US down. (Underpinned by other trends like the accelerating US debt.)
Most would disagree with the carrier comment, however you could add in the strategic oil reserve levels, the changed energy policy, the loss of support across the world
Ships are sitting ducks to Russian hypersonic missiles coming down from directly overhead.
As well as rapid salvos of conventional missiles, overwhelming the ships defenses.
What would keep Iran (/Russia/China) from doing this, if it goes hot there? Listen to Macgregor about the missilery they now possess – realizing that the US public does not know the true extent of that.
This is MUCH bigger than Israel v Hamas/Iran. Iran is joining China and Russia in BRICS+ and other linkages including military.
But no worries – some suggest that the US govt is working behind the scenes with these others to sink the US, and all want to avoid nukes. Sleep well.
5,000 sailors per carrier. And the costly vessel and planes, of course. One hypersonic missle and they’re dead. What is the plan to defend them from hypersonic weapons? And lets not forget how it started, and the mystery of intelligence “failures”.
Ask yourself, who do we actually owe the money to?
“Some suggest a pattern of intent by the US government to deplete war stocks while humiliating the US, leading up to the present crisis in Israel”
Yes indeed, the US government working in concert with and fulfilling the goals the globalist cabal.
We are not prepared to fight a war, so Israel should sign its own death certificate by not striking back. This is the essence of McGregors remarks. He also implied that we are dumb for not realizing this. Here is the problem- we are not energy independent because of the Democrats and the RINOs. If we were we could have shut down the flow of oil from the Middle East and thereby averted a war. If you think that Israel does not realize it must invade Gaza to stay alive you are badly mistaken. The open border is also a terrible weakness here.
Shouldn’t someone ask Lindsey what we gained in VietNam, Iraq and Afghanistan other than killing and maiming many of our young men; other than lining the pockets of the munitions industry?
Move Israel to New Jersey or somewhere in Canada.Setting up Israel without imposing a section carved out for Arabs was a fatal mistake that is going to suck us into a mutual destruction.Pakistan.India sorted out its situation in 1947 , about 5 million ”civilians ” died in the process .16 million Germans were driven out of regions they had lived in for centuries after WWII,About 2 million died in the process.Poland occupies those lands now,will Germany be repopulating that area any time soon ? Is everybody managing this clstrfck in the Middle East just stupid or is it really profitable.It cant last and will eventually blow up.
‘A new turning point in the history of the State of Israel. Most people don’t understand that’
https://fathomjournal.org/opinion-a-new-turning-point-in-the-history-of-the-state-of-israel-most-people-dont-understand-that/
Did the west sort out the nazis from the Germans?How many innocent German civilians died or were maimed?Never before in history has the consideration for civilians or hostages decided on any outcome.Gazans are Hamas,Hamas could not exist without widespread support from the civilian population.Hamas does not have massive internal security personnel to control the population,they don’t have to.The only solution is to move Israel to the USA or Canada. Israel has their Samson doctrine,if they are going to be destroyed they will expend their nuclear weapons on everybody that set them up and that includes European cities.
There are no civilian bomb shelters in Gaza. For hamas yes, not for civilians. Remember carpet bombing? Man that was pretty swell. Everyone was doing it. Just the phsycological effects alone were super effective. People trying to sleep wearing clothes thinking about grabbing the kids and running for the shelter. Not knowing. Then theyd be shitty the next day at thier jobs building bombs and stuff. Good times.
I’ve been coming to this site without peer since 2015. Changed my entire national and world view. Forever. Sundance taught me how to weed out the chaff countermeasures concern trolling motive and narrative.
Here is my gift to all that have the courage to arrive at the indisputable truth:
EVERY single atrocity – sick depraved incomprehensible act displayed within the recent attack on Israel is NOT “Hamas” or a protest of living conditions in Gaza.
It’s Islam. That’s it. One word. Every single atrocity: murder beheading infants rape torture kidnapping mutilation is EXACTLY what Muhammad himself did and gloried. Every savage paragliding DUPLICATED Muhammad’s very own acts.
Battle of Badr: every male Jew was beheaded including infants and thrown in a massive trench. 800 in all. Yeah. Each was brought before Muhammad to beg for their life at his feet. Sword – head – trench.
Read “the life of Muhammad” at Religion of Peace site. You’ll never be the same. Guaranteed. It was my wake up call.
You as a reader have 3 choices: Convert. Subjugate (dhimmitude) or die. Period.
Every single Gaza resident is a killer in the making. Period. Every child is trained to kill. Watch video of German rave attendee in back of pickup. Mangle body brains blown out entire street cheering God is Great!!! Children running up and spitting on her body. It’s a 7th century cult that will never stop until it conquers the world.
A guy doesn’t like something about Syria…ok. Straps backpack filled with explosive covered in nails – blows it up at Manchester concert. Oh. It’s ok. He’s protesting. Look the other way.
Why rape chidren? Muhammad delighted in it. His youngest wife Aisha was 9. Groomed at age 6. Ask a “Muslim Scholar” to refute that fact.
This is a religious war. 1967 or 1973 attack took place on Battle of Badr. Coincidence?
Not every Muslim here in the US feels this way. I get it. 2 of my favorite people are Muslim Lite. They don’t practice they don’t care about it all. Just like Cristian Lire. It’s more of a risk to cut ties than ignore it.
One of my best friends, a brilliant guy – dedicates his life to saving people on operating table. Best of the best. He lived in 100% Muslim country. Age 12 handed Western philosophical works. Identified as brilliant. Put in private school. Came here. He puts up the most epic Christmas tree and loves this country.
He sees Islam for what it is. 7th Century cult dedicated to the annihilation of ALL Jews and non believers. It’s not Hamas vs human shields. Israel has a choice. Who cares what the world thinks. The world doesn’t get it. They don’t have the stomach or courage to simply state “It’s Islam, stupid.”
Sorry for jumping in and don’t disagree with overall comment- – but not sure if you are correct on Battle of Badr – had to look it up – small but important historical battle , more like a skirmish, in 700s AD where Mohammad and his band of followers defeated a non Islam Arab tribe (non believers)that controlled Mecca , killing about 70 and throwing corpses in a trench – They were “Nonbelievers” but were Arab tribesman warriors – no Jews or infants – etc Not sure where you get your Battle Badr analysis – Plenty of other atrocities …
If you’re interested in such things, I posit that Obamas Iran deal was based on The Conditions of Omar. Ten years. Jizyra paid.
Not really, was just curious about the referenced battle which I never heard of …and the poster’s description of it which seemed to be inaccurate …
100% Correct.
Add raping of the dead bodies bc Muhammad delighted in necrophilia too.
Ask a Muslim scholar to refute that also.
Every one of these 7th century barbarians should be erased from the face of the earth. Full. Stop.
I agree with Keefe Goldfisher on all points made.
There are currently two delusions at work in the War on Israel:
The Palestinian people have a delusional belief that all the land we call Israel is THEIR LAND AND THEIR LAND ALONE. They believe this with every fiber of their bodies. They glorify anyone who kills innocent Jews. Someone who feels like a nobody can become a hero or heroine just by killing Jews. There is no incentive to negotiate with Jews, since Palestinians view Jews as subhuman. There is no co-existence with Israel because to them, that is a defeat worse than death. Even if other Sunni Muslim states have found it worthwhile to ally themselves with Israel and accept Israel’s existence as a Jewish state, the Palestinians would rather die than accept the existence of Israel.
The second delusion is the belief that the Palestinian people are innocent. If the Palestinian people are innocent, it is then Israel’s responsibility to protect them!!! This delusion is shared by much of the world, including one of the best military minds in the US, Col. Macgregor, who I otherwise have admired greatly. This delusion is shared by most of the Western democracies. But it is not shared by any of the Sunni Muslim states, as can be seen in the fact that ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THEM WILL TAKE ANY PALESTINIANS. The people in the democracies cannot imagine that an entire people would hate Jews so much that they yearn for them all to be dead. They cannot envision a whole people organizing all their hopes and dreams around abolishing the state of Israel.
Imagine trying to fight World War II if we thought all Germans and all Japanese were innocent people! We would be hamstrung at every battle trying to ensure no collateral damage. And you can be sure that Israel will be blamed the world over if even one “innocent” Palestinian child is killed.
No army wants to kill children……except that of Hamas and the Palestinians of Gaza and the West Bank. They are as depraved as Hitler was. But they all FEEL INNOCENT. They feel innocent because of their sense of being victims. All psychopathic killers feel innocent for the same reason.
I would humbly disagree with the COL. on one point. If the U.S. conducts airstrikes on some of Iran’s infrastructure without mass casualties I don’t think the Russians would respond. If Syria is attacked that would be different. The Russians have a large naval base and air base in Syria.
The danger in attacking Iran is if they respond successfully the tendency would then be to start wholesale attacking them causing mass destruction. Then the Russians and probably the Turks get involved.
World leaders need to listen to this very wise man.
God help us. The Biden administration is gonna kill us all, if somebody with the power to do so doesn’t start opposing these fools. Trump is the only one I have any faith in at all to oppose them.
IMHO, because the war in Ukraine was unsuccessful, this is the alternative war they needed. Recently, O’Biden gave Iran 6 billion to fund this. There will not be present Putin’s cool headed approach that kept the Ukraine war from escallating. Given the general awakening, the Globalists desperately need this war to destroy the U.S.. WW 3 is necessary to create the cover and chaos they need to consolidate their power. Prepare accordingly.
My guess is that Israel is in a strategic pause in order to restore its Iron Dome system in cause Hezbollah attacks with significantly more deadly weapons from Lebanon.
The very last thing we want is to force Israel to decide between allowing a second holocaust in their historic homeland or using nuclear weapons to exterminate their Islamic enemies forever.
In the meantime, the civilian population of Gaza will naturally migrate to shelter, food, and water resources which can be situated near the Egyptian border. Making most of Gaza unliveable seems to be what is in the works.
One has to ask why the arab Muslim world doesn’t want to take in the brothers. If they won’t why should any other non-muslim country do so given the serious gap in cultural compatibility?
“One has to ask why the arab Muslim world doesn’t want to take in the brothers. If they won’t why should any other non-muslim country do so given the serious gap in cultural compatibility?”
I haven’t seen anyone on the left answer this question.
Anyone?
My mind keeps going back to BRICS.
Upon listening to the good Colonel state his opinion as fact, that Russia will back Iran, that scene from one of the Bond movies, where one of the world wide bad guys gets all the bad guys in a room together and, of course, takes them all out at once, played in my mind.
Russia would be wise to not back any other members of BRICS, instead sit back and watch as they implode on ea other, increasing their piece of the pie.
The good Colonel is a fast talker, I’ll give him that.
and not one tiny teeny bit of it has one single turd to do with US security. out involvement makes us far LESS secure
This guy has some good points but he does not lay this soundly on the Biden administration that has undone all of Trumps safeguards.. “We drained oil reserves” Never mentions who we are. He is wanting Hamas to survive. He is not taking to effect that God gave Israel that land & God will take care of Israel. It is a Biblical promise. This guy sounds like a Palestinian operative. God promises a special blessing to those who stand with Israel. This guy is a fear monger.
Tired of MSM curated war news and blurred out photos and videos? Have a look at Open Source reporting at A Skeptic. If you like hearing from Col Macgregor, you’ll probably like our extensive coverage.

I have always despised Lindsey Graham. His little threat about attacking Iran was nauseating.
The “regional war” with Iran is 45 years overdue. We should have gotten it over with back then. Were we in better shape to take care of business then than we are now? Well, no, not really. No more prepared than we were to invade Korea in 1950. My point is that, since 1945, we have blundered into several “wars” without the formal declaration of war coming from Congress. And each of these “wars” has ended with our having lost lives and treasure with nothing to show for it. And today, a new generation of ignorant politicians is quickly leading us into another one.
The only solution I can offer is for American families to stop offering up their children to the MIC to be used in the next undeclared war. Force them to reinstate the draft and see how that goes.
I can’t seem to find any videos of the Hamas school children chanting for peace and coexistence?
But you can find the exact opposite.
The website is great because it just translates what hate is being put into their minds 24/7.
Islam aka Hamas will not moderate their desire to kill Jews … the fact that ALL children in Gaza are indoctrinated and taught to kill Jews can’t be ignored … and its not “collective punishment” to kill them … its self defense today and for future generations of Jews and Westerners as well … Jews are the Saturday people, we are the Sunday people)
Anti-Globalist American Patriot stands up to Crooked Hillary during an event she was at and started lambasting her, LOUDLY about how Biden is leading us right into WW3!
https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/israel-counters-holocaust-denial-like-phenomenon-by-releasing-unedited-footage-of-hamas-attack-5515674?ea_src=frontpage&ea_med=lead-special-israel-hamas-war-title-0
There is a difference in war and war on terror. Hamas committed barbaric terror and it appears Israel will use full-scale warfare in a city of 2 million. Has Israel declared war on the Gaza Strip, or Hamas? Is there a difference? Think about the end game, policy planners, as that has bedeviled America in recent conflicts.
Only TUCKER goes right to the REAL source. The war pigs in both parties hate MacGregor. FOX would never allow him on now. God bless Tucker, I wish he could get on TV somehow where he is more powerful. A lot of his interviews are missed, and the fake conservative podcasts on, never mention Tucker’s name. We have a lot of enemies in our own media, not just in the House. Rush’s replacements NEVER addresses Tucker now. Neither does Bongino. They are all slaves to FOX. They are pathetic puppets having their strings pulled.
The sleeper cells in the US will begin to awaken soon, waiting will not help them. Critical, coordinated attacks on electrical generation and relay stations will get the ball rolling. Follow up quickly with hit and runs on rail and airline traffic. Throw in a few shopping mall attacks and the full majesty of the open border will be revealed.
I like Mac but would question several points.
1) First of all there are some things that are a red line and you have to pick a side to fight for, this is one.
2) When he says the road to Armageddon is going into Gaza. I would
suggest the opposite, that not going in would be a disaster. He says no one is
thinking about the future, when in fact most know that the only hope for the future
is to destroy these savages. He says going into Gaza will threaten the very
existence of Israel, when in fact it is the opposite, if they do not go in they are done.
3) No one thinks there will not be collateral damage.
4) His concern for non- combatants in an urban setting is understandable, but as we showed in
Fallujah it can be lessened. I understand that personal from the Fallujah theater are over there advising. And so far Israel has done a good job at targeted strikes. We can let civilians leave the theater. Further if Hamas fighters go underground, then they are bottled up and perhaps more easily exterminated without the loss of life of those less involved.
4) I do not like Linsey Graham, but if Iran wants to get into the war on a more direct level, then upping the ante makes perfect sense. Beyond oil fields, their physical entry into the fray would be a perfect time to eliminate their nuclear program which will have to be done at some point.
6) Turkey is not going to invade Israel.
7) Russia is not going to fight for Iran.
8) Egypt has no love for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood and will not fight to protect them.
9) That we should back down from what is right because we are scared of an attack on our soil is
shockingly un-American.
10) Instead of Armageddon, this is an opportunity to eliminate chaos and make a better, safer world.
Col MacGregor admits he has no answer and his frustration is evident – he obviously hates war – as one who has been in it up to his neck – and knows also that the politicians can even make things worse. For what it’s worth, I think he also well sees the Biden idiocy and decades of economic madness as a catalyst for destruction of the US govt by its own citizens.
A very sobering conversation with Gen. Macgregor! But still, only half a conversation.
How about someone like Victor Davis Hanson. His recent conversation, with the Australian John Anderson (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG0cgViEcc8), offers a possible assessment of the situation in the Middle East, today, that is at-odds with some of the General’s assumptions.
Would you consider having VDH on your show to talk with you about what tonight’s guest said? These two gentlemen, together, would make up something closer to “the conversation” that we’re always hearing that we need (we do!), but never seem to get.
Clearly, it’s letting-down your audience to leave it with people like Lindsay Graham as the “voice of the other side.”
It’s pretty funny seeing the division that’s happening here on this subject.
Maybe , just maybe , we can agree on something.
War doesn’t help anyone except the bankers ,and their ponzi scheme is about to bust.
It’s a perfect distraction.
Get the big picture here folks ,it’s all part of the plan .
And you and I ,plus many more, will suffer
