Yesterday I watched the first of what will be a three part video discussion between Dr. Michael Vlahos and Col. Douglas Macgregor. The first part focused on the current situation in Ukraine and was largely familiar from past Macgregor interviews. Today I watched the second part (45 minutes), which turned out to be a very wide ranging and stimulating geopolitical discussion which I highly recommend. What I’ll do here is embed the video, followed by my summary of the discussion. These are my words, although they follow the discussion closely. I hope I hit the salient parts of the discussion, but there’s more of interest that will flesh out the summary. As you’ll see, the two men get involved in discussion on the US political scene, as well.
Thank you. Key phrase: "Remember, we're not talking about the American people. Nobody asked them about any of this, and most aren't interested." The royal "we" occurs in your excellent summary, but the elite's real problem is that they speak for nobody but themselves, and though they may steal our resources and use them to further their over-ambitious projects, we the people are occupied with inflation and dealing with the shortages their mismanagement has created. They can steal Arizona, but the people of Arizona will go their own separate ways. If the 'elites' were intelligent, their first priority would be to establish some rapport with their fellow citizens so we wouldn't regard them as an enemy occupying power.
Of course if nobody hears about it due to censorship, it helps keep the status quo. YouTube censored the Rasmussen report.
My understanding is harmeet dhillon and the gop party moved onto Ga! Oops, that race was just lost. The gop candidate was only outspent 3X, among other reasons. Sure sounds like the eGOP took a dive…
“Deceit and denial” seems to be pretty much the order of the day for the political, social, military, legal and economic situation in the U.S. The elites have been drawn into this quagmire without a clue as to just how much peril they have placed the country and the world in, and all because they are “entranced by …symbols of power”, or to put it a little less politely, they believe their own bullshit!
Rather than relying on reasoned analysis and geopolitical savvy, they are “slaves of emotions and fantasy narratives”. The bill for this stupidity will be coming due soon, and as the old saying goes, they have been writing checks with their mouth that they can’t possibly cash, so somebody else is going to have to pick up the tab.
These two place hope in the American people saving the country and ironically leave the political class out of the equation, just how “we” pull that off I’m not quite sure.
Oliver Laurel said it best, “That’s another fine mess you’ve gotten us into.” Only difference is, when he said it it was funny. I don’t hear anyone laughing right now.

Is the Az Election Fraud jumping the shark?
Was it too blatant?
Is the narrative collapsing?
At least Kari Lakes is fighting:

And it seems took action trying to prevent election fraud, which made it harder to cover ups.
The 70% believe their is fraud affected the Az election per Rasmussen is significant:

The silence of the gop establishment on the fraud is telling.

When they say the narrative will collapse, everything will fail what do they say will follow? No one seems to go there.
