Summary:Washington, D.C. has again embroiled America in a Middle Eastern war while its involvement in Ukraine continues to fail. This new war not only threatens to expand into a regional conflict but could threaten the survival of Israel itself. Colonel Douglas Macgregor joins Tom to lend his expert analysis on both conflicts.Guest bio:Col. Macgregor is widely known inside the U.S., Europe, Israel, Russia, China and Korea for both his leadership in the Battle of 73 Easting, the U.S. Army’s largest tank battle since World War II, and for his groundbreaking books on military transformation: Breaking the Phalanx (Praeger, 1997) and Transformation under Fire (Praeger, 2003). Col. MacGregor holds an MA in comparative politics and a PhD in international relations from the University of Virginia and in 2020 was appointed by President Trump to serve as Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense, a post he held until President Trump left office. He has been a rare voice of sanity on U.S. foreign policy among people with his expertise and experience, most recently on the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.More info on his website at douglasmacregor.com.Additional Reading:Breaking the PhalanxTransformation under FireAdditional Listening:Episode 123 The Hard Truth about Ukraine and DC’s ‘Sanctions’ with Colonel Douglas MacgregorFree Gifts from Tom:Back by popular demand!
