Where does Trump's failed bombing run lead?

Description in Polish, video in English

On 1 July 2025, Colonel Douglas Macgregor discussed the geopolitical consequences of the unsuccessful assassination effort by president Donald Trump and current events in Ukraine and the mediate East with host Andrew Napolitano on the program "Judging Freedom". The following article summarises the key points of its analysis and sheds light on complex links shaping the global safety situation.

Economic risks arising from increasing conflicts

Napolitano began by identifying the economical risks of global conflicts. increasing government spending, rising debt and weaker dollars endanger the financial stableness of the United States and thus their citizens. The Goldman Sachs forecast is peculiarly alarming that the price of gold may emergence to $4500 per ounce by 2026, as central banks and investors accumulate gold as protection against currency collapse, inflation and marketplace volatility.

Ukraine: War at a Turning Point

Macgregor analysed the situation in Ukraine, which continues to escalate despite decreasing global attention. The Ukrainian attacks on Donetsk with British Storm Shadow missiles that caused casualties among civilians attest to Kiev's desperation. Donetsk and Lugansk have already been completely liberated from Ukrainian troops, and Russian units, supported by Chechen militants, are approaching Kiev to bring members of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion to justice. president Vladimir Putin is under force to end the war faster, but remains committed to his cautious, methodical strategy to avoid direct confrontation with NATO. Macgregor predicts that the map of Ukraine will change importantly by the end of September 2025. Putin besides expects political change in Europe, peculiarly in France and Germany, which could affect the dynamics of the conflict.

Trump Bombing: A Losing With Far-Definition

The discussion focused on Trump's fresh bombing, which, according to Macgregor, was ordered by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to force the ceasefire. Israel was in a precarious situation due to the fact that Iran's rockets were causing crucial harm and Israeli rocket defence systems were being exploited to the limit of opportunity. The attack, which did not origin any casualties among the Iranians, was presented as a success by Trump, but Macgregor stressed that the conflict had not ended at all. This was highlighted by the Iranian counterattack on American facilities in Bahrain. The request for ceasefire came out clearly from Israel, which, according to Macgregor, was amazed by the precision and destructive force of Iranian missiles. The Israeli Minister of Finance besides warned against the impending economical collapse if the conflict continues. The costs of rebuilding Israel will yet be borne by the United States, and contracts are likely to receive large American companies.

Long-term geopolitical consequences

Macgregor warned that the bombing had made the United States a de facto side of the war that had put permanent strain on relations with Iran, Russia and China. Iran viewed Trump as an instrument of Israel, which made negotiations difficult. Furthermore, Azerbaijan played an increasingly problematic function in serving as Israel's operating base against Iran, while besides compromising Russia's interests in the region. Turkey under president Erdogan supported this dynamic, utilizing Syria as a platform for attacks on Shiite groups in Iraq and Iran. Egypt, the largest arabian country, was besides under pressure. president Sisi's government was economically dependent on the United States, limiting his ability to act. Nevertheless, the population was inactive against Israel in the conflict in Gaza. Macgregor stressed that the imagination of “Great Israel” from Suez to Euphrates continued to form the program of many actors, supported by financial interests in fresh York, London and Washington.

Controversy around intelligence

Another point was Senator John Kennedy's message after briefing that Iran is “a fewer days away” from having an atomic bomb. Macgregor criticized Kennedy for not knowing the origin of the information — either Israeli or American. This raises questions about credibility, he said, given that Israel has issued akin warnings for decades. The close link between American intelligence and Israeli interests, peculiarly through characters specified as General Kurilla of the Central Command of the United States, strengthens skepticism about the independency of American decision-making.

Conclusion: Dangerous escalation

Macgregor concluded with a grim forecast: The United States is profoundly active in a conflict, the consequences of which are hard to predict. The danger of an extended war, possibly even utilizing tactical atomic weapons, remains real. Dependence on abroad interests and deficiency of transparency in decision-making endanger not only national safety but besides the independency of the United States.

Macgregor called for conclusions from George Washington’s lesson, which warned against the influence of abroad powers. The analysis shows that Trump's bombing run not only resulted in military defeat, but besides led the United States into a dangerous geopolitical position with possibly devastating consequences for the region and the world.
