Col Doug Macgregor argues that the U.S. is a republic, not a democracy, and claims Ukraine is similarly mischaracterized. They portray President Zelensky as an authoritarian leader who, in their view, has justified dictatorial control to pursue extreme policies during the war. The war itself is described as a “scam” engineered by Western powers—primarily the U.S. and UK—to weaken Russia, with no realistic chance of success from the start.

They criticize massive U.S. financial and military support for Ukraine, arguing it worsens America’s debt, fuels inflation through money printing, and enables corruption in Ukraine. Zelensky is accused of personal enrichment, betrayal of Ukrainian interests, and reliance on oligarchs and extremist groups to maintain power. The conflict is framed as having been marketed successfully to Western audiences, especially progressives, despite longstanding corruption.

Regarding President Trump, the speaker says Trump has sent mixed signals over the years—once praising Zelensky, now criticizing him—and is torn between opposing views. While Trump understands that U.S. interests are better served by disengaging from Europe and improving relations with Russia, he is portrayed as indecisive and surrounded by advisers and donors who benefit from continued war.

The recommendation is for the U.S. to immediately end all military, financial, and intelligence involvement in Ukraine, withdraw personnel, and stop the war by cutting support to what the speaker calls a corrupt regime. Strategic ambiguity is condemned as dangerous and a cause of prolonged conflict. The speaker concludes that the U.S. has no strategic interest in the war beyond promoting peace, and that ending involvement is the only path forward—even if it draws criticism.
