Col. Douglas Macgregor on how 'Washington's Proxy Wars' end, for Judge Napolitano
The retired Army colonel's latest sit-down drew more comments in ten hours than a long Judging Freedom upload usually gets in a full day, on a day when the channel as a whole ran a little quiet.

COL. Douglas Macgregor : How Do Washington’s Proxy Wars End?
The question is right there in the title: "How Do Washington's Proxy Wars End?" Judge Andrew Napolitano put it to Col. Douglas Macgregor, and the conversation passed 74,000 views in its first ten hours. A longer video on Judging Freedom usually finishes its whole first day somewhere under 18,000.
Macgregor's credentials are military. He is a retired US Army colonel who fought in the 1991 Gulf War at the Battle of 73 Easting, one of the war's best-known tank engagements. He later wrote "Breaking the Phalanx", a 1997 book on reorganizing the Army, and in the years since he has become one of the more familiar voices criticizing American involvement in wars abroad. One viewer says they make a point of hearing him every time he appears.
The comment section moved faster than usual too. It had already passed a typical first day's total within those ten hours, and the likes ran close to three times the usual pace. Ukraine comes up again and again. Several viewers turn to money: Wall Street's role, and whether banks would be rescued with public funds once more if things went badly. Many others simply thank the two men.
The channel works through a rotating panel of guests, and each one gets a single headline question. The next uploads came from Col. Lawrence Wilkerson on "Trump's War Is Spreading", Pepe Escobar, Prof. Mohammad Marandi on Iran and Lt. Col. Bill Astore. Across the channel, daily views are running a little below normal, which makes the colonel's hour stand out all the more.
