Odessa at Risk: Ukraine Coastal Collapse Amid NATO Escalation - Strategic Consequences | Col Douglas

Colonel Douglas MacGregor provides a strategic analysis of the critical situation surrounding Odessa and Ukraine's coastal vulnerability. As Ukrainian military capabilities deteriorate and Russian forces position themselves to seize the strategically vital port city, the geopolitical implications extend far beyond territorial control. MacGregor examines how Ukrainian strikes on Russian tankers may accelerate Russian objectives, the limitations of European military capacity to respond, and NATO's increasingly aggressive posture toward preemptive military action. The discussion explores the historical significance of Odessa to Russian strategic thinking, the collapse of Ukrainian military forces, the credibility gap in Western intelligence assessments, and the fundamental question of American strategic interests in prolonging involvement in a conflict that has reached its military conclusion. MacGregor argues that President Trump must recognize these realities and redirect American resources toward domestic priorities rather than supporting a war effort that cannot be won.
