Col. Macgregor: "Trump's Silver Bullet Won't Save Him!" — Iran Holds Escalation Dominance

Who really controls the escalation in the Iran war: Washington or Tehran? In this sobering interview, retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor argues that Iran now holds escalation dominance, and that President Trump faces a dilemma with no easy exit. Comparing today's crisis to Britain's fateful choices in 1914, he warns that blind faith in naval and air power may be dragging the U.S. deeper into a costly war it cannot win. In this video, Col. Macgregor discusses: 🔹 The 1914 analogy: how Britain's belief in sea power led to a pyrrhic victory 🔹 Why he believes air and naval power cannot decide this war 🔹 The cost at home: gas, diesel and fertilizer shocks hitting American farmers 🔹 Why he sees the naval blockade as a temporary fix, and the risk of a clash with China 🔹 Trump's three options: end the war, wait it out, or resume strikes 🔹 Should the U.S. accept Iranian control of Hormuz? The Montreux Convention precedent 🔹 The Dark Eagle hypersonic missile and the history of "silver bullet" weapons 🔹 CENTCOM's reported strike options and how Iran says it would respond 🔹 Putin's call to Trump, China's role, and why U.S. bases may now be liabilities Agree or disagree, this is a provocative look at power, miscalculation and the limits of military force.
