Macgregor argues that the United States has humiliated Russia by treating it as a defeated enemy and trying to impose its will on it. He believes that this has led to a situation in which Russia has become increasingly isolated and resentful of the West, which has only served to make it more confrontational and aggressive.

Macgregor also criticizes the United States for its military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan, which he sees as costly and counterproductive. He argues that the US needs to focus on rebuilding its own economy and infrastructure, rather than trying to police the world.

Overall, Macgregor’s message is that the United States needs to be more humble and strategic in its foreign policy, and avoid the mistakes that have led to the current tensions with Russia.
