The West Is Misreading Russia — And It Could Start a War
Podcast with: Colonel Douglas Macgrego
Anyone who thinks Russia is weak is dangerously mistaken.
Pushing further, mistaking restraint for weakness, is how wars begin.
The reality is brutal: Ukraine has been ground down for years, with staggering human losses — over a million lives. And for what? To prove a geopolitical point? Anyone with a shred of humanity in Washington should be saying, “This must stop.”
We have no right to use human lives to serve strategic narratives.
The same pattern is unfolding in the Middle East — unfinished business disguised as moral crusades.
Restraint is not weakness.
But arrogance — misreading the situation — could spark a conflict no one can contain.
