Col Doug Macgregor: Who Believes These are Peace Talks? w/Lt Col Daniel Davis (Video)
In this 22 July 2025 video, host Daniel Davis takes a look at the peace talks between Russia and Ukraine which are set to resume in Istanbul, but analysts and insiders—including Colonel Doug Macgregor—warn against expecting any real breakthroughs. Despite diplomatic appearances, both sides remain entrenched in irreconcilable positions. The talks seem more about posturing for domestic and international audiences than genuine progress.
Macgregor criticizes recent U.S. decisions, such as positioning low-yield nuclear warheads in the UK, calling them provocative and potentially destabilizing. He sees this as a signal to Russia that reinforces its perception of an existential Western threat, likening the current moment to a slow-motion lead-up to global conflict.
Discussion turns to Donald Trump’s past and current role. Trump claims he was close to a peace deal with Putin multiple times but shows little grasp of how international negotiations actually work, viewing them through a business lens rather than a diplomatic one. Macgregor argues that Trump’s impatience and transactional approach are ill-suited to such complex geopolitical issues.
Western commentators, like Mick Mulroy, continue to accuse Russia of bad faith, suggesting they’re using the ceasefire window to advance militarily. However, Macgregor disputes these narratives, defending Russia’s conduct and accusing Western media and politicians of spreading misleading or hypocritical views, particularly regarding civilian casualties.
Key Points:
- Peace talks are unlikely to produce results due to hardened positions.
- U.S. nuclear moves in the UK are seen as dangerously provocative.
- Trump’s approach to diplomacy is overly simplistic and rooted in business tactics.
- Western narratives often misrepresent Russia’s intentions and actions.
- Some in Russia believe they’re already in a de facto world war against the West.
