Russland sieht Trump herumtoben und wartet einfach ab: so interpretiert Douglas Macgregor die derzeitige Situation:
Zusammenfassung unter dem Video:
Col. Doug Macgregor predicts political turnover in Western governments (London first) and expects Emmanuel Macron to be removed from power — arguing new leaders will be less hostile to Russia and more interested in restoring trade.
They portray Putin as having outlasted his committed opponents; Russian strategy is to wait until Western political will weakens.
On the U.S. side, the speaker characterizes Donald Trump as blustery but not genuinely eager for confrontation — claiming Trump favors withdrawing U.S. forces from Eastern Europe and reducing long-term U.S. military presence on the continent.
The speaker sees a broad Western shift coming: rising parties (e.g., Germany’s AfD mentioned) will seek to normalize relations and revive energy/trade links (Nord Stream referenced), so European governments now in power will be replaced by more Russia-friendly administrations.
The conversation shifts to nuclear rhetoric: recent Russian tests and Trump’s ambiguous remarks about “testing” prompted concern; a U.S. Minuteman III missile test is noted, Russian officials urged readiness to test, and the speaker argues these comments are largely rhetorical and that nobody actually wants a nuclear test or nuclear war.
The speaker is skeptical of some high-profile Russian systems (nuclear-propulsion cruise missiles), calling them technically dubious, but treats other systems (Poseidon, hypersonic claims) as real and dangerous.
Overall tone: alarm about escalatory rhetoric but confidence that neither side truly wants nuclear war; hope that clearer presidential statements could de-escalate.

Key takeaways
Expect political change in Europe making rapprochement with Russia more likely. Trump is depicted as preferring U.S. military withdrawal from Europe, which would weaken NATO deterrence.
Nuclear-test talk has raised tensions but the speaker believes actual nuclear testing or war is unlikely — much of it is posturing. Some advanced Russian weapons are treated as real threats; others are viewed skeptically.
One-sentence gist: The speaker argues Western political turnover and U.S. retrenchment will let Russia consolidate gains, while recent nuclear rhetoric is dangerous but mostly bluster — actual nuclear tests or a nuclear war remain unlikely.
