Col. Douglas Macgregor breaks his silence on the US military operation in Venezuela (Jan 2026), calling the capture of Maduro a dangerous “vanity project” with zero long-term strategy. Macgregor argues that the US didn’t win militarily but simply “bought off” the Venezuelan generals with CIA money.
The Oil Myth: Macgregor dismantles the narrative that Venezuelan oil will pay for the war (similar to the Iraq mistake). He explains that Venezuelan crude is “sludge”—difficult to refine and years away from hitting the market.
Key topics discussed:
The “No Plan” Disaster: Why governing a country the size of France and Germany combined is impossible.
The Israel Connection: Macgregor analyzes if this operation is designed to distract from a coming war with Iran.
Monroe Doctrine 2.0: The US attempt to kick Russia/China out of Latin America while ignoring threats in Mexico.
The Trump Doctrine: Why “bullying” nations doesn’t work in the modern era.
