This is why Europe's elites support the ethnic cleansing in Gaza almost unanimously. Meanwhile, the European occupation of Palestine is the actual and ongoing Great Replacement🤷🏼♀️

No Col MacGregor, if you put Venezuelans in Norway they would do fine - but Norway isn’t subject to swingeing sanctions like the Americans are imposing on Venezuela. They can’t get access to their bank deposits, they can’t buy medicine for their health system - a Washington think-tank (CEPR) estimated that as many as 40,000 Venezuelans died in 2017/8 because of the embargo on health products - insulin etc. The only ones protesting the regime are those who lost out to the peasantry - the rich landowners and their families.

4:13 Douglass should know by now that the reason why Venezuela, and virtually all the natural resource rich countries countries in the world that try to be independant and developed as they could like, China, Russia is because the Washington/Wall Street corporate empire wages seige warfare (sanctions) against them usually followed up by kinetic war occupation and the plunder of the victims assets and resources. The Washigton empire has military bases in Japan and Germany and therefor are ready occupied colonies, hence no need for sanctions. Japan economic miracle terminated (contained) by the Washington regime about half a century ago and it did the same to Germany in an instant by blowing up it's gas supply infrastructure. The Washington regime bankrupted Britain and took much of its Empire to make sure it would never be an independant powerful industrail nation ever again. The Washington regime is a brutal empire that is worse than the Roman empire.

McGregor, don't dabble in economics, not your forte. Venezuela in under unilateral primary AND secondary sanctions, which means any country trading with Venezuela will itself be sanctioned by the United States. So any country interested in trading with Venezuela will have to choose between trade with Venezuela or the United States, only China, Russia and other countries under secondary sanctions can afford to ignore those kind of sanctions, it means near complete isolation from trade with the rest of the world, and it would devastate any other country in the world except Russia. It cannot be imposed on China because it would destroy the US itself. Furthermore: Venezuelan only has extra heavy crude oil, bitumen. And it is very sour (4.5% sulfur), and extremely polluted with dissolved metals. It has to be diluted, and heated with steam to lower viscosity in order for it to be pumped up. Then it requires a much more complicated refining process than for example Arab Sweet Light Crude, which a crude built American V8 will have little trouble with without processing. This makes Venezuelan oil much more expensive to produce. So if the US uses the oil price as a weapon, which it does at times, Venezuela even more than Canada will always suffer first. The US will have to raise Taxes in order to re-industrialize, the rich will flee, like they already do the EU and UK. And then the rich will start to terrorize the US in exactly the same way they do Venezuela the past two decades, you can place a bet on that. 😉

As a "fellow Scot" ( the Colonel's heritage) I am proud of, and filled with respect for the Colonel. I would love to say that being honest and having integrity are natural traits of all Scots but the Colonel is unique. He is a great man and a wonderful example of how all people on the world stage should be.

He was right to say that Venezuela causes this crisis to happen to them. However lets not minimize the US role in blockading Venezuela and forcing literally the entire world to do the same thing. Venezuela started the crisis, the US made it 50x worse. And the funny part is, Americans don't like millions of Venezuelans to come to the US. If you don't like it, you better start pressuring the government to lift the sanction. It doesn't matter who is in charge of Venezuela, it shouldn't be the US businesses to be concerned over Venezuela. I also agree with him on Trump. Trump isn't going to ditch Israel. He has been lobbied by them and he will be no different than Biden. If he wants to do something different and refused to follow orders (and I believe he did want to), they will kill him. The last failed assasination attemp was a warning. Trump has learned his lesson now.

You are right. Americans should not be concerned about Venezuela. I am not concerned. Not concerned about their food insecurity or asylum claims or their fears of violence. I had rather they expire in the gutters of their homeland than bring their violent culture to the US. Not our people. Not our problem..

Yes, a pity for his credibility. He should avoid commenting outside Ukraine and the Middle East. Too many stereotypes and shortcuts.

OUR GRAND CREATOR GAVE US the VARIETY OF CULTURES AND NATIONS. WHEN WE WORSHIP OUR CREATOR and NOT the CREATION, ie other humans and their LACKING IDEOLOGIES , we don't allow ANYONE to lay PHONY, CONTROL-SEEKING GUILT TRIPS ON US FOR our Culture. Variety is THE SPICE OF LIFE. STOP GUILT TRIPPING. IT'S WRONG and UNNECESSARY.

Paul Buitink & Col. Macgregor, the two of you are kingpins who work very well together. I'm grateful to both of you, truly. An outstanding, real-info partnership. Let's let the truth keep rising.

Mcgregor comes off as a WS or WN at times. KNOWLEDGABLE as he is - his concepts on race and culture are just off. He admits to US meddling in Latin America, but then gets to Norway and says their culture and identity is why they are successful. Why because they are white?! What nation INVADED Norway when they discovered oil?! What nation attacked them when they nationalized their resources?!? What corporation meddled in their governments when they made college free in Norway?!? It’s like this guy has this racial disconnect

Remember he's a Millitary man and a millitary historian, not a geo-political analyst as such. His strengths are Millitary strategy, war history, but he's had to try answering many questions of geopolitical nature since the Russian SMO in 2022.

Excuse me, but this section "the problem of latin america is the people of latin america" is, to the very least disingenuous. You talk like the only american problem of LATAM is the CIA. You forget that there are neocolonial relations between states. European and north american corporations try their best at keeping our economy down, to extent of having billionaires (like musk) meddling with Brazilian laws through X. By the way, the same man said it has no problems backing coups on Bolivia if necessary to get their Lithium. So no, our problem is not our people. In the 80s Brazil had significant technology development, but the usa invented some law we broke so they could strangle us and make us by their stuff. So again, no. Usa and europe are the problem of underdevelopment. You should keep and preserve your culture, sure! We love you and want no harm come to you, but dont act like history doesnt exist. Just think what you did and make the best to stop undermining africa and latam. You go manage your resources and see where that get you in 10 years. Africa and latam have the goods you need, but you dont want us to use it to our advantage. Cmon, be serious for a moment.

Well Venezuela was not some economic super power before Chavez...before 1999. As much as dislike communism, I still think external changes to leadership always bring poverty and theft by rulers of that particular country. The 80% of the population did not had running water, ask someone who was in that country during that time. Venezuela was like Russia in 1990's with deep recession or better describe it as a depression, through colonial system of extracting and exporting oil.

Maybe if the U.S. lifted sanctions, told Britain to give back the gold they stole from Venezuela and allowed them to sell their oil without interference, possibly the country would be more prosperous. These comments are so very racist.
