Retired army Col. Douglas Macgregor is warning that President Joe Biden’s stupidity is moving the world closer to World War III. “We are on the threshold of total war,” Macgregor said in X/Twitter on Oct. 19, linking to an interview he did with Judge Andrew Napolitano that same day. “If the Israeli’s march into Gaza they will fail to root out the thousands of Hamas fighters there. The arsenal of rockets and missiles in the region is enormous. The rest of the region is prepared to go to war. It’s not just a Iran.”
“First of all, the weapons have changed,” Macgregor said, according to an excerpt posted separately by Napolitano. “The arsenal of rockets and missiles in the region is enormous. People are quoting numbers in the realm of a 130,000 rockets and missiles from Hezbollah alone. We don’t even need to mention others in the region, that kind of arsenal is enough in and of itself to destroy much of Israel.”
Earlier in an interview on Real America on Oct. 20, Macgregor similarly warned of the conflict erupting into a larger war. “The region is not what it was 20, 30, 40 years ago. The region is armed to the teeth,” he said. The footage of attacks on civilians and children are being watched like hawks by everyone in the region, Macgregor added, saying “No one is gonna sit still and watch the Israeli’s pulverize Gaza, and drive the population into the desert.… It’s our obligation to save Israel from itself. Israel is on the path of suicide in this war.”
As far as the way out, Macgregor said that “Military power is not the answer,” and that “It’s best to negotiate and end to this thing.”
