Colonel Douglas Macgregor: We Can't Control the Persian Gulf (Video)
In this 14 April 2026 published video, host Dabiel Davis talks with retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor who argues the United States has lost effective control over the Persian Gulf.

Macgregor contrasts the production capacity of U.S. precision munitions (e.g., 5–8 missiles per day) against the large-scale capabilities of adversaries like China, suggesting the U.S. cannot sustain a high-intensity conflict in the Gulf. He describes the current situation as a “strategic and historic defeat” where Iranian and Chinese interests—including the use of their own currencies for trade—are effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz to Western dominance. Macgregor argues that U.S. policy in the region is “suicidal” and has led to the degradation of NATO and the stability of traditional Gulf allies.
Macgregor’s perspective is a sharp departure from the historical Carter Doctrine, which stated the U.S. would use any means necessary, including military force, to prevent any outside power from gaining control of the Persian Gulf.
