Summary

Hegemony is over not only on the outside but within the US, too. The decline is irreversible says my guest today, Colonel Douglas Macgregor. We talk about Russia’s next moves in Ukraine, the risk of wider NATO escalation, U.S. support for foreign wars, and why America’s base network and war spending may be unsustainable. Macgregor argues the U.S. is losing control, the economy is the real pressure point, and a major pullback from overseas is coming.Links:McGregor Warrior Substack: https://macgregorwarrior.substack.com The National Conversation: https://thenationalconversation.org Neutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com (Opt in for Academic Section from your profile settings: https://pascallottaz.substack.com/s/a... )Merch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shop Donation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donate Timestamps: 00:00:00 Russia and Ukraine Turning Point 00:13:40 NATO Pressure and Nuclear Risk 00:15:14 America Rejects Another War 00:21:27 Bases, Parties, and Retreat 00:24:50 Soviet Collapse and U S Decline 00:29:21 Cuba Puerto Rico and the Hemisphere 00:32:24 Empire Mindset and Iran 00:37:23 Media Pressure and Public Pushback 00:40:44 Debt, Cuts, and the End Game
