Dear CCI Colleagues and Friends,
The videos below feature retired US Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor speaking on the war in Ukraine. As a lifelong member of the Democratic Party, I know of only one West Pointer with serious battle experience who insists this war must be stopped – for the sake of all involved including the US – and he is a Republican. Please, let us put partisan politics aside and consider the consequences of what we are doing to promote and further this war.
I hope you will view and pass these videos on to your acquaintances. A review of Colonel Macgregor’s background and experience follows.
Colonel Macgregor is a decorated combat veteran, the author of five books, and a defense and foreign policy consultant with twenty-eight years of professional military experience. He is a graduate of West Point Military Academy, and he holds an MA in comparative politics and a PhD in international relations from the University of Virginia. Colonel Macgregor is widely known in the US, Europe, Israel, Russia, China and Korea for his groundbreaking books on military transformation: “Breaking the Phalanx” (Praegar, 1997) and “Transformation Under Fire” (Praegar, 2003).
The details of the peace deal presented today by US special envoy Steve Witkoff are consistent with the report in the Financial Times discussed in my previous article and with Larry Sparano in the posted interview. Putin will halt the Russian advance prior to driving Ukrainian soldiers out of all of the territory that has been reincorporated into Russia. It appears to be the case that the borders between Russia and Ukraine will be the current front line, so Putin is withdrawing Russia’s claim to the Russian territories still under Ukrainian occupation.
Russia and the US seem near a Ukraine peace deal. Kyiv’s role may be moot.
President Donald Trump’s hopes of securing a quick Ukraine peace deal hang in the balance after Washington’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, held his fourth Kremlin meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin Friday.
