Col. Douglas Macgregor: Middle East Crisis Could Spark Global War, U.S. Dollar Losing Reserve Status

In this episode of the Coin Stories podcast, Natalie Brunell interviews Colonel MacGregor about the recent conflict involving Iran and Israel, and its broader implications. MacGregor argues that Israel initiated the conflict hoping to draw the U.S. into a larger war with Iran, but Iran's response was stronger than anticipated. They discuss the ceasefire's fragility, Israel's potential re-armament, and the possibility of future conflict. MacGregor also addresses the internal dynamics of Iran, disputing the notion that the Iranian people widely oppose their government. The conversation shifts to the economic implications, including the de-dollarization trend, the importance of domestic manufacturing, and Bitcoin's role as a store of value. They conclude by expressing concerns about the U.S.'s economic and social vulnerabilities, the potential for a multi-polar world, and the need for Americans to be more informed and economically empowered.
