Judge Napolitano:
"General Keith Kellogg, who president Trump has indicated he wants to be his principal emissary and adviser on Ukraine and Russia, sounded the other day like he had just had breakfast with Tony Blinken. He is reported to have said--it has been reported and not denied--that if Putin doesn't discuss quickly the concept of a ceasefire we'll send more ammunition, military gear, and equipment to Ukraine. How crazy is that?"
Col. Douglas MacGregor:
"It's worse than crazy. There are three things. First of all we are risking a direct confrontation with Russia. We don't understand and don't care to listen to people who tell us that the Russians are at the precipice of going to war against us.

Colonel Douglas MacGregor predicts a continuation of the Iran war soon, once all sides have replenished missile stocks.
"Washington’s political class manifests much less regard for the long-term strategic interests of its own citizens—their security and prosperity. As a result, Washington pays an exorbitant price in reputation and treasure for policies that confront Palestinians with the choice of death or expulsion from their homelands.
