Col Doug Macgregor: Why REBELLIONS ARE NEEDED

Col Doug Macgregor argues that European leaders like Macron, Starmer, and others are “testimonies in the court of history” for why rebellions are sometimes necessary.

According to them, Europe hasn’t had a true popular uprising in a long time, but may soon reach that point.

The people of Great Britain, France, and Germany, they argue, will eventually have to confront the reality that their leaders — characterized as “globalists” dragging their countries into crises — must be forcibly removed to restore national sovereignty.

They suggest parliamentary democracies, while more flexible than presidential systems, have become too rigid to effect peaceful change, citing Britain’s stricter rules on removing prime ministers and Macron’s strong presidential system.

Thus, “rebellion” is framed as a legitimate, even constitutional right of people when their governments betray them.

3. NATO’s Structural Weakness and Military Illusion

The speaker calls NATO an unworkable alliance with no true unity of command, describing it as “herding cats.”

They argue NATO can’t fight an offensive war because decisions require unanimous consent from over 30 members, making rapid military coordination impossible.

They dismiss European plans to spend “hundreds of billions of euros” to build a force capable of defeating Russia as fantasy — not feasible within 12–24 months.

Historically, they say, even in WWII, unity of command was difficult among Western allies (U.S., U.K., Canada), whereas the Soviets had strict top-down control that yielded greater battlefield effectiveness.

NATO, in contrast, lacks the authoritarian command structure needed for successful offensive warfare.

Defensive wars, they note, are a different matter — but the current talk in Europe is about attacking Russia, not defending Europe.

4. Criticism of Zelensky and the War in Ukraine

The speaker portrays the Ukraine war as a catastrophe created by Zelensky himself.

They claim Russia is not having major trouble militarily — only the grim task of burying the Ukrainian dead.

They accuse Zelensky of “murdering millions of his own people” for pursuing the unattainable goal of destroying Russia.

The war has turned Ukraine into a “graveyard,” they say, while Zelensky continues to mislead the public about the situation.

5. Globalism, National Identity, and the EU’s Failure

The speaker frames the Ukraine war as part of a broader ideological conflict:

On one side are globalists in the U.S. and Europe seeking to erase borders, national identity, languages, and cultures — creating a homogenized “global mass.”

On the other side are nations defending sovereignty, such as Russia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Serbia, who reject EU-imposed norms.

They argue the European Union began as an economic cooperation project but evolved into a “supranational governing structure” that overreaches and imposes unwanted laws on member states.

The EU’s attempt to standardize identity and culture across Europe is, in their view, destroying nations.

Russia’s refusal to accept these globalist norms, they say, is one of the “key driving forces” behind the West’s hostility toward Moscow.
