There are only two 2024 presidential candidates who can help America get out of the existing crisis, according to senior military strategist and conservative commentator Colonel Douglas Macgregor. And Ron DeSantis is not either of them.
On Friday (July 21), Colonel Macgregor was interviewed on Steak for Breakfast Podcast, Episode 258. After his analysis of the current situation in Ukraine, the military expert and political analyst was also asked what was the way out out of this crisis and whether Trump can lead the U.S. out of this mess.
“There’s nobody out there, let’s be honest,” said Megcregor. “There’s no one else who can lead the nation out of the abyss that it is in at the moment but Donald Trump. Now I also think very highly of Bobby Kennedy.”
The expert military commentator praised Robert Kennedy Jr. for being a “real Democrat” and not a “Marxist anarchist nutcase, which is generally we have on the left.”
Colonel Macgregor also added that the support President Trump has makes him a clear winner of 2024 but the problem of election integrity poses the problem. In his words:
“There’s no reason to believe that the next round of elections will be any better or any more honest than what we’ve experienced in the past.”
He recounted the election day in 2020 when a friend of his called him from Las Vegas and told him how the absentee ballots were all over the place and all one had to do was pick one up and shove it in the ballot box.
“That whole thing was a fraud,” said Macgregor and went on to express the concern that he’s not sure whether the conservatives are ready to deal with that kind of fraud in 2024.
Commenting on President Trump’s weakness, Mr. Macgregor said that Trump puts too much emphasis on personal relationships while national and political interests are bigger and overpower personal opinions about leaders of the world’s nations.
A retired U.S. Army colonel, Mr. Macgregor served as a senior advisor to then Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller. He has made numerous media appearances, offering expert opinion mainly on strategic and military conflict issues.
Since the Russo-Ukraine War that started in February last year, Macgregor has been critical of NATO and Biden administration’s role in Ukraine and has challenged the mainstream media’s pro-Ukraine narrative.
As a military expert, Macgregor believes that Ukraine stands no chance of a victory against Russia in the battlefield and the Zelensky regime is just a proxy of US-led NATO against Russia. Colonel Macgregor has come out as an anti-war voice that insists on strengthening national assets instead of letting the military industrial complex take away the country’s wealth for unnecessary wars.
