MACGREGOR: Trump could end Ukraine war, he just hasn't done it
President vowed to end the war in 24 hours
Retired U.S. Army Col. Douglas MacGregor said in an interview Thursday that President Donald Trump has the power to force an end to the Ukraine War but he has not done it, and, with each day that passes, the risk of a larger war grows more likely.
“President Trump, as the leader of NATO, not just as President of the United States, can really force an end to this conflict,” he told Judge Andrew Napolitano’s Judging Freedom. “He hasn't done it. Just standing there and telling [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky that he should sit down and talk to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin is absurd. The longer this drags on, the greater the likelihood that this war inevitably spreads.”

MacGregor noted how the Ukrainians fired off their new long-range Flamingo missile deep into Russia. Kyiv has tried to describe the missile as a game-changer, while critics say Western fingerprints are all over the weapon.
MacGregor said the missile is assembled inside Ukraine, but it's a stretch to say it's a Ukrainian product. The Ukrainians are likely simply assembling components from Western allies, in particular Great Britain.
The belief in Kyiv is that the missile will show the West that Ukraine still has a lot of fight left, but he said he believes the attack only pushed the Russians to the edge of responding cataclysmically against Great Britain.
“The Russians, when you listen to them carefully, they blame much of what's wrong in Ukraine on the British. And they have a point. And the British are not alone. We are also continuing to supply intelligence, surveillance, recognizance.”
TREND FORECAST: As founders of Occupy Peace and Freedom, while we opposed Russia’s decision to invade Ukraine, as we had detailed in our Spring edition of The Trends Journal in 2014, (it is now a weekly publication) we understood why Russian President Vladimir Putin made the decision to launch the military operation.
