Jimmy speaks with Colonel Douglas Macgregor about JD Vance's claims that the U.S. military retains economic leverage over Iran, with Macgregor dismissing Vance’s statements as propaganda, given that the Strait of Hormuz is still not entirely open and the world economy is collapsing. Macgregor argues that the United States has already lost the war in terms of global reputation, and that America's days of bullying allies and adversaries are over—nations like France are now moving forward without Washington.
He also notes that President Trump privately wants to end the war but doesn't know how, and that the U.S. should follow the model of the Montreux Convention (which governs the Turkish Straits) to create an international agreement for Hormuz access instead of threatening Iran. Macgregor concludes that America's counterproductive bullying behavior is "dumb" and that the country must learn to negotiate in private rather than bluster publicly.
