After a long period of trying diplomacy to achieve a just peace with the US bloc, which, for no reason except its perennial impulse to dominate all powerful sovereign nations like Russia, Moscow has finally accepted the reality that a full-blown war between the USA/NATO and the emerging Eurasian bloc, Russia, China, Iran, etc., is now inevitable. It is therefore making serious preparations for a war that (barring a nuclear exchange) may go on for generations. Contrary to constant Western propaganda, Russia does not wish and has never wished to invade and conquer Western Europe. It is basically the Anglo-Americans that have maneuvered for at least a century to destroy Russia as an independent world power. Now they are willing to sacrifice even their European vassals to attain that goal.

As a young man, Roy Bourgeois enlisted to fight in the Vietnam War. After being injured, he became a volunteer at a local orphanage and was inspired to become a priest upon his return to the US. Bourgeois became a priest in Bolivia during the dictatorship of General Hugo Banzer. He decided he could not be an apolitical priest. He spoke out against Banzer’s political repression, leading to his arrest and expulsion from Bolivia. Back in the US, Bourgeois organized protests outside Fort Benning, Georgia, where the US was training Salvadorian soldiers to fight the leftist insurgency (“death squads”, also used in many other nations of Latin America, Africa and Asia).

Jimmy and his crew comment on the cynicism and shamelessness of US military contractors (“defense contractors”), profiting from the Ukraine war to the tune of billions. The invitation to a posh soiree at the Ukraine embassy in Washington is underwritten by Lockheed, Raytheon and other big weapons manufacturers. Their names appear on the official invitation, proving the integration of Ukraine, as a puppet state being used by the Deep State to enrich US corporations and advance its longstanding imperialist goals of global hegemony.

Col. MacGregor reiterates here that the West’s delusions about Russia’s capabilities—including its vaunted weaknesses, and military incompetence— could lead to a world-class disaster. The Ukraine war is lost, MacGregor says. Nothing can change that outcome, not even a direct NATO involvement. So humanity must thread with prudence and wisdom, qualities, MacGregor notes, in scarce supply among Western leaders, especially in Washington, a political culture bathed in hubris and arrogant imperialist thinking.

The discussion focuses on the history of Russian/American relations in the recent past, and the US/NATO policies directly provoking the current proxy war in Ukraine, which Moscow correctly interprets as forcing a war against the whole collective West. The host and his guest also touch upon the nature of Russia’s transformation under Putin, and the openly proclaimed objectives of the “Western alliance”, including regime change in Moscow, the defeat and destruction of Russia as a world-class military power, and the balkanisation of Russia into vassal statelets for easier control and exploitation.
