Col Doug Macgregor: Trump is listening to the wrong people and disaster awaits
..........The powerful Israel lobby and the famed Military Industrial Complex have the support of both sides of the Isle and Macgregor warns of another humiliating defeat if he lets Netenyanu drag us into another War which cannot be won and that we cannot afford. God help us but I doubt Trump has the strength to resist them. Israel has nukes and may be forced to use them if things do not their way. Wall St Journal reports Israel is already running out of defensive missiles as are our ships in the area. This interview is scary.

Do you have a clue as to how many active duty and retired Colonels there are out there?

Does that number invalidate his opinion?

Shut up, you know exactly what I mean. Every swngndik out there has an opinion. How about the major
Who was talking to the airman’s cousin?
Colonel??? Whatevs
This war has a clear cut goal that is definitely winnable:destroy Iran’s nuclear capability
grind their ability to make nuclear weapons down or they WILL use them against both Israel and the US.
They would have used them before Israel’s attack.
You're suggesting: Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran...
We need to stay out of it, Israel can have their war with Iran if they want. Just my opinion.
Obliterate capability, confirm, adios pot roast.

Yes, exactly.

I still hope it’s all part of an elaborate bluff
All trying to get the Iranians to return to a JCPOA-like status.
The Israelis would be pissed - because for them the nuclear issue is a secondary one. They want us to change the regime.
Fuck Bibi and his short-term thinking.
Secondary? Israel would accept being destroyed as long as there is Iran regime change?

We should not be funding this war at all, no bombs, missiles, bullets, drones, etc

This is exactly right

There is zero need for us to put any troops on the ground.
Iran is terribly vulnerable from the air and via draconian economic sanctions.
Agreed. No boots on the ground, none, zero

Has anyone suggested boots on the ground? What have I missed?

How many wars has the US entered without deploying troops?

Many, depending on what you mean by "boots on the ground" and "war." Do you think air strikes = war?
You seem to think someone has suggested invading Iran with the US Army/Marines. If so, can you provide a link? If not, just acknowledge that is not what you are talking about.
Or, are you just saying you are opposed to having a smattering of CIA/forward observer/green beret types on the ground to guide strikes and evaluate damage?
Are we currently at war with Yemen?
To answer your second question, the US should have zero engagement. I don’t know why you would think there aren’t CIA assets already in the area.
Has anyone suggested boots on the ground?
...besides CIA type assets.
I made no assumptions. I asked a question. Since no one can answer, I guess no one has suggested it.
Why do we have at least 700 military bases around the world?

Last resort? V Nam, Afghanistan, Iraq? Have you been there and done that? If so, you should know
Better
I'm of the pull back to the western hemisphere, develop this side of the globe opinion.

Counter strike capability in the event we are attacked
I can see your reasoning though
