Colonel Douglas Macgregor returns to assess the escalating conflict with Iran, the risk of a wider regional war, and the economic consequences of prolonged instability in the Middle East. He explains why he believes rising oil prices, strained missile supplies, mounting debt, and growing involvement from Russia and China could place the United States under severe pressure. The discussion also covers the upcoming U.S. midterm elections, and why Canada and the United States need greater control over critical minerals, refining capacity, and energy infrastructure.
