[00:00:00] critic you think a country by its population, it has to
[00:00:03] be by its action as well. in last
[00:00:07] of couple of years we have been looking at Narendra
[00:00:09] Modi's style of governance and how
[00:00:13] India is being branded in
[00:00:16] of one religion, one almost like a ethno state where
[00:00:20] minorities, attacks on minorities are
[00:00:22] highlighted. if you look at the last election in
[00:00:26] West Bengal of India, you have been seeing that, same
[00:00:30] strategy was implied and there was accudition
[00:00:34] of the minority voters being removed to
[00:00:38] secure the ruling party BJP's
[00:00:42] in anonymous universal victory
[00:00:45] there,
[00:00:46] of many analysts are now fearful that if
[00:00:49] Narendra Modi taken the
[00:00:51] of same strategy and it just
[00:00:54] prolong its own Modi's rule over the India
[00:00:58] by making the voter list. that only helps his
[00:01:01] party and shaib, very quickly, before i let
[00:01:05] you go,
[00:01:05] i have to ask you this question, if if we keep
[00:01:08] seeing such detentions and
[00:01:11] in arrests and the use of violence against
[00:01:14] protesters, what do you think the future holds for the
[00:01:18] Indian government, do you think these protests have enough
[00:01:21] power to bring about a change in
[00:01:24] India? great question, if you look
[00:01:28] at the cockros jon is
[00:01:31] evolved of this political scenario and the very first
[00:01:35] large protest they did just a couple of months ago where i was talking
[00:01:39] to your very tv platform where the gens
[00:01:43] frustration over the education system and the
[00:01:46] similar type of crackdown but at least at the end the government
[00:01:50] step back the minister education minister had to resign
[00:01:54] now it depends on how it's very early to say
[00:01:58] whether this protest will ' really and mudhis
[00:02:02] or at least shrink in the mudis role in India, we have to see it,
[00:02:05] but this gives us a
[00:02:09] symptom, kind of hope to the young generation that if you
[00:02:12] can continue build the
[00:02:15] of of momentum and can spread this movement, not only Delhi but other big cities and
[00:02:19] villages and towns in India, there are a huge
[00:02:22] possibly sh, unfortunately we are running out of
[00:02:26] time, I really appreciate your taking out the time and thanks very much for joining. The news
[00:02:30] continues here on TRT World, goodbye for
[00:02:32] now,
[00:02:49] barely two months old, the Mecca Alliance is facing its first
[00:02:53] test. Pothi attacks against Saudi Arabia have triggered collective
[00:02:57] defense measures from Turkia, Pakistan, and the... could
[00:03:01] of the crisis in yemen turn the alliance into the new force in middle east
[00:03:04] security? i'll break it all
[00:03:06] of down here on straight
[00:03:07] talk.
[00:03:15] a
[00:03:19] a
[00:03:26] hello and welcome to straight talk. i'm for decades the...
[00:03:30] has been the dominant security power in the Middle East, but its war with
[00:03:34] Iran is challenging that order and the fallout is already
[00:03:37] taking shape. two months ago, Turkia, Saudi Arabia and
[00:03:41] Pakistan signed new defense pact in Mecca. Under the
[00:03:45] agreement, attack on one member is considered attack on
[00:03:48] all. That commitment is being tested for the first time. The
[00:03:52] trigger has come in Yemen. Yemen's ansarulah Houti
[00:03:56] fighters have stepped up attacks on the kingdom prompting. the alliance
[00:04:00] to activate its collective defense measures. The Iran-back group
[00:04:04] controls much of Northern Yemen and has launched missiles and drones
[00:04:08] that targets across Saudi Arabia, from airports and military
[00:04:12] sites in the south to oil infrastructure further north.
[00:04:16] Turkey is providing Riyad with military equipment and technical
[00:04:19] support. The escalation comes as the regions already facing
[00:04:23] multiple conflicts. The US and Israel are at war with
[00:04:26] Iran. The straight of Hormus remains
[00:04:29] of effectively closed. and tensions between Turk and Israel are
[00:04:33] rising, so as conflict reshapes the region, could the Mecca
[00:04:36] Alliance signal a fundamental shift
[00:04:38] of in who provides security in the Middle
[00:04:40] East? Joining me now from
[00:04:44] Virginia, USA is Douglas McGregor, he's
[00:04:47] a retired US colonel, combat veteran, a former senior
[00:04:51] advisor to the US secretary of defense and an author.
[00:04:55] Colonel, great to have you on the show. I mean, obviously
[00:04:58] lots
[00:04:59] been happening, I... "you're closely following everything in the
[00:05:02] region, and I mean, I don't want to
[00:05:04] look back, I want to look forward in our time together, and if we look
[00:05:08] at the war right now in Iran, where in the timeline are we,
[00:05:12] are we..." near the beginning, the middle, the end, and is the US
[00:05:16] closer to peace or a ground invasion if those were the two ends the
[00:05:19] spectrum? well, I think we should address this idea of a ground
[00:05:23] invasion right up front. uh, we really don't have
[00:05:27] an army capable of invading Iran. I think that needs to be
[00:05:30] understood. The United States Army is rather
[00:05:34] small, it's a fraction of its former self. We simply
[00:05:38] don't have the depth in terms of soldiers, equipment, and
[00:05:42] it's... very difficult to move those forces right now into the region,
[00:05:46] so I i don't think we're talking about a ground invasion, what you might see at
[00:05:50] the most in the future is the use of potentially
[00:05:53] marine or airborne forces to
[00:05:56] sees islands, one or two in the Persian
[00:06:00] Gulf, or perhaps a toe hold on
[00:06:03] the on the Iranian state, another words
[00:06:07] chabahar, perhaps something like that, but
[00:06:11] but no more, I mean the idea. of flying into Iran
[00:06:14] in search of enriched uranium, I think has been
[00:06:18] tried and largely dropped, so you're talking about very, very
[00:06:22] limited use of airborn and amphibious infantry
[00:06:26] and potentially some special ops, not much more. now
[00:06:30] as
[00:06:30] far as the where are we in this thing, that's you, it's
[00:06:34] very hazardous to guess, because the president has made
[00:06:38] it clear as recently as today that he's going to stay.
[00:06:42] with us as long as it takes, he he's
[00:06:45] also begun imply that he may direct
[00:06:49] operations to begin sooner than the end of
[00:06:52] October, much depends on events in the Gulf, but I think the
[00:06:55] Iranians have recently demonstrated that they
[00:06:59] actually control access to the Persian Gulf, they've struck
[00:07:03] several ships that tried to slip through, and I think
[00:07:06] that's put the lie so to say to the claims that President Trump has
[00:07:10] made that the place is under our control. "and that nothing comes in or
[00:07:14] goes out without without us and that moreover lots of oil
[00:07:17] is escaping, that's simply not true, so
[00:07:21] at this point it's hard to tell, we have some
[00:07:25] constraints on us, we're constrained by the availability of
[00:07:29] munitions and the production of missiles and rockets and so
[00:07:32] forth, and we're also confronting very serious
[00:07:36] financial crisis, how that will play out is anybody's
[00:07:40] guess, but we've never confronted."
[00:08:12] conflict, let's let's leave it at that at this stage, yeah, it
[00:08:16] it it went from the four days to the four weeks, to the four months, to
[00:08:20] the forever, basically, yes, mean, your
[00:08:23] lack of uncertainty regarding where in the timeline we are, what
[00:08:27] type of operation could be launched, is that stemming from their not
[00:08:31] being clear cut objective, being uh message to
[00:08:35] the American public, because I mean if there's no objective
[00:08:39] or no one knows exactly what the objective is, "I guess for someone
[00:08:43] who's been in many rooms where these types of decisions are made like
[00:08:46] yourself, it's hard to understand what comes next. Well, there
[00:08:50] is no coherent strategic framework for the operation.
[00:08:54] I've never seen any explicit
[00:08:57] strategic goal that we could
[00:09:01] put our, put on the wall and say, this is where we want
[00:09:05] to go, this is how long it's going to take, and this is what has to
[00:09:09] happen before we stop, and to be quite frank..." "the
[00:09:13] entire war is an Israeli war, the United States has
[00:09:17] no strategic interest in the destruction of Iran, never
[00:09:20] has, and the notion that now we have to continue
[00:09:24] to attack Iran to prevent it from developing nuclear weapon
[00:09:28] seems ludicrous, foolish, because there is really
[00:09:32] nothing to stop the Iranians from developing nuclear weapon except their decision
[00:09:36] not to do so, and on the other hand, our goal
[00:09:39] has changed, I guess, our objective, if you want
[00:09:41] to call it." has moved from simply destroying the regime
[00:09:45] to destroying whatever military capabilities exist, that
[00:09:49] hasn't worked very well because the underground missile cities which are
[00:09:53] extremely difficult to reach, they're spread out across the country, widely
[00:09:57] dispersed, we haven't been able to utterly destroy command
[00:10:01] and control, and we've discovered that if you kill one set
[00:10:05] of leaders, you get new set of leaders, not that
[00:10:09] that's really news, I mean that's been everyone's experience throughout history.
[00:10:13] uh, if you destroy the con, you get new con, if you kill the king, you get
[00:10:17] new king, much more hard, why people fail, why people fail to
[00:10:20] realize that is is incredibly stupid to me, so I don't...
[00:10:25] think that's it anymore, i think now we're looking at find whatever
[00:10:29] capabilities you think may be there and destroy them,
[00:10:31] including uh nuclear enrichment capabilities if
[00:10:35] they can find them, and
[00:10:37] then i think they just want induce the disintegration and failure
[00:10:41] the Iranian state, so basically just degradation and
[00:10:44] scorched earth type of policy. what what's the middle
[00:10:48] east going to look like after this war is over? mean,
[00:10:52] we've heard the word post American middle east. will it be a post-american middle
[00:10:56] east? will that be a quick exit? will it be a
[00:11:00] gradual drawdown? will the bases uh throughout the gulf be
[00:11:04] rebuilt? mean a lot of questions from gulf
[00:11:07] countries who are who are concerned for their security futures
[00:11:11] rightfully? well we've demonstrated pretty conclusively that we
[00:11:14] cannot protect any the countries in the middle east, we can't
[00:11:18] protect the the gulf statelets, we can't protect
[00:11:22] Saudi Arabia, and I don't think we can... protect Israel, the
[00:11:26] Israelis of course are a little more robust, and we have
[00:11:30] invested more heavily there, particularly in terms of missile
[00:11:33] defense, but it's
[00:11:35] not a long-term solution, and that's the key to this whole
[00:11:39] thing. there's something that everybody that lives in the region needs
[00:11:43] to understand. we are not permanent party in
[00:11:47] the region, that is, we don't live in the middle east, we don't live in
[00:11:50] Asia, we don't live in Europe, we are preeminently a
[00:11:54] marathon. and aerospace power, when we move into
[00:11:58] area, it's inevitably temporary, we're not
[00:12:01] permanently there, people look back on the last 80 years in europe or the middle
[00:12:05] east or elsewhere, and they seem to think this is a permanent
[00:12:09] condition,
[00:12:09] it isn't, so it's not a question of will
[00:12:13] we ultimately withdraw, that's an absolute certainty, the
[00:12:17] question is how
[00:12:18] we do it, how quickly, how suddenly, we depend heavily on air and naval
[00:12:22] power, and that's what you're seeing right now, you're trying. to wage war
[00:12:26] against continental power of 93 million people, the place
[00:12:30] is almost the size of western Europe, two and a half times the size
[00:12:34] of Texas. it's surrounded by
[00:12:37] mountains that turn most the northern part the country into
[00:12:41] a fortress and then to the south you have impassible deserts. what
[00:12:44] a terrible place to fight. so then the next issue, and i got to
[00:12:48] answer this question for you, what does this all look like when it's over? well, the first thing
[00:12:52] i think we can say with almost complete.
[00:13:25] has the legacy the Ottoman Empire, that again is another civilizational
[00:13:29] state with its with its own brand of civilization, and
[00:13:33] then finally you have Egypt, well what lies between
[00:13:36] these states and countries, essentially
[00:13:40] region that has been molded by foreign powers,
[00:13:44] Great Britain, France, the United States, those old
[00:13:48] borders are going to vanish, most of those structures will be
[00:13:51] gone, and it will be up to the three powers that I just
[00:13:55] mentioned, primarily, I would argue Turkia and
[00:13:59] Iran to decide what the rest of it looks like, and I hope that
[00:14:03] when that time comes that those two powers will be smart enough
[00:14:07] to act intelligently and swiftly, to resolve
[00:14:10] as many differences as possible and to create new stability,
[00:14:14] because we will be gone. now the question is, and it's on everybody's
[00:14:17] mind, what happens to Israel? well, right
[00:14:21] now the Israeli leadership has turned this war into an...
[00:14:55] government with new leadership that is willing
[00:14:58] to see things differently and live in the region as a
[00:15:02] neighbor, that could be changed, but right
[00:15:05] now, much as your foreign minister said, i think within the last
[00:15:09] 24 hours and i think he's correct, he said he sees no
[00:15:13] evidence that the election in Israel is going to change anything, certainly
[00:15:17] nothing in terms of foreign and defense policy, and i think he's
[00:15:20] correct, it looks like maybe route
[00:15:24] a versus route B, but X is the final
[00:15:27] destination still uh regarding the different Israeli candidates,
[00:15:31] but you painted a very interesting and pessimistic
[00:15:35] picture for us in the region here, I'm... No US
[00:15:39] presence, obviously a brand new security order, the potential for
[00:15:42] reorganization of borders, so that looks like very
[00:15:46] chaotic transition period. I mean, when there's
[00:15:50] these types of massive voids created in the middle east, obviously there's
[00:15:54] a lot of opportunists in the region, lot of non-state
[00:15:57] actors who have always tried to fill in these types of
[00:16:00] voids. I want to ask you what your thoughts about the Mecca alliance
[00:16:04] are, the alliance between Turkia, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. "it was formed
[00:16:08] almost two months ago to the day, and I
[00:16:11] believe this, in the next coming three to four days it'll officially be
[00:16:15] ratified by the parliament, so it'll officially come to
[00:16:19] existence. Can that be something that at least fills
[00:16:23] majority the void, or is that still a long way down the
[00:16:27] road? Well,
[00:16:29] there are a couple of important points that need to be made. I think the
[00:16:33] first one is that wherever we go,
[00:16:37] wherever..."
[00:17:07] that they once pre previously had. i am not as
[00:17:11] pessimistic as you. my view is that when this
[00:17:15] status quo essentially
[00:17:17] vanishes, you will have the opportunity to build new
[00:17:21] things, but those new things will rest on old
[00:17:25] foundations, which may turn out to be more
[00:17:27] enduring and legitimate than what we have
[00:17:30] now. so i i'm not pessimistic in that
[00:17:34] sense, but of course that depends on the leadership, and now you... brought up
[00:17:37] key feature of all of this, this uh mecca
[00:17:41] agreement, i think it's too soon to
[00:17:43] tell uh, we can't pass
[00:17:47] judgment on something that has only recently been signed
[00:17:51] and we don't know what's going to be implemented and how it will be
[00:17:54] implemented, you know again, i don't
[00:17:58] know what mr. erdogan really plans uh
[00:18:02] what he really wants, you'll have to ask him,
[00:18:06] he he has to sort out very... clearly and
[00:18:09] unambiguously what this alliance, if you want to call
[00:18:13] it an alliance, i think it's more like the entonces that
[00:18:17] brought France and Britain and ultimately Russia together before World War
[00:18:21] One. does does tur the Turks
[00:18:24] want to be locked into an automatic
[00:18:27] trigger to enter conflict on the
[00:18:31] basis of this agreement. I think World War I was a
[00:18:34] catastrophe largely because the people... that allied themselves
[00:18:38] against Germany and Austria and
[00:18:40] then eventually against the Ottomans did so on the basis
[00:18:44] of
[00:18:44] a of an automatic trigger. In other words, country x
[00:18:48] does this, that means y, z and so forth, all have to join
[00:18:52] it. So I think that's that's something has to be sorted
[00:18:55] out. There's another issue here,
[00:18:59] tragically, as we saw during world war one,
[00:19:02] Christians don't have any trouble murdering each other. I think there's a
[00:19:06] lot of evidence.
[00:20:07] small states,
[00:20:09] and even though Saudi Arabia
[00:20:11] is large a map, I consider to be a small state by
[00:20:13] comparison, and this is true for Lithuania, Latvia,
[00:20:17] Estonia, any number of small states around the world or Israel for that
[00:20:20] matter, they're always looking for a larger
[00:20:24] power that they can harness to their
[00:20:28] interests, that they can find who will fight their wars
[00:20:32] for them, and I think that's
[00:20:34] something that the new mecca agreement. should take into
[00:20:38] consideration: first of all, who is the real
[00:20:41] enemy? who
[00:20:43] is the existential threat in the region, and then
[00:20:47] decide if that's the case, if you were going to... identify an
[00:20:50] existential threat, organize against that,
[00:20:54] if if the yemenis are not an existential threat to the
[00:20:57] region, if this is in fact a local war with
[00:21:01] local origins, distant origins, long-term
[00:21:04] origins, then there needs to be local solution as
[00:21:08] opposed to a giant regional war that results from it.
[00:21:12] i don't know if that makes any sense, no it does, it makes a lot of
[00:21:16] sense uh, but mean the turks are very good at.
[00:21:20] laying out their military objectives when they enter into
[00:21:24] something, and I mean, from what I've seen so far over the past 24
[00:21:27] hours, it's been very, very clear cut that they're just going to be
[00:21:31] there a defensive capability and not cross the border into
[00:21:35] Yemen and any type of cross-border operation, but
[00:21:39] aside from that, how do you see the Saudi Hothi
[00:21:43] war uh progressing right now? I mean, obviously very difficult
[00:21:46] geography, you have very veteran non state actor
[00:21:50] unit that's basically been at war for at over decade, mean even
[00:21:54] much further if you go back through Yemen's history, so they're very
[00:21:58] war- hardened, very battle hardened and a geography
[00:22:02] that's kind of hard to uproot them, what is victory look like for the
[00:22:06] Saudis and what's the risk? the Saudi
[00:22:10] uh control of much of what today we call or used to call
[00:22:14] Yayen is fairly recent, you've got to go back into the
[00:22:17] 1930s and look at the fighting that... ensued then
[00:22:21] that resulted in the current borders between Saudi Arabia and
[00:22:24] Yemen. The point that I think is important for everybody to
[00:22:28] understand is
[00:22:29] that the war in Yemen between
[00:22:32] the Yeminies or the Houtis and ultimately the House of
[00:22:35] Squad preexisted the Mecca
[00:22:39] agreement. these these are conflicts that quite
[00:22:42] frankly have nothing to do with Saudi Arabia's
[00:22:46] relationship with Pakistan or Turkia. So I think
[00:22:50] that should be taken into consideration. Also, remember, the people in
[00:22:54] Yamen have been subjected to mass murder,
[00:22:57] starvation, thirst. I mean, the
[00:23:00] treatment made it out to them by the House of Squad is
[00:23:04] reprehensible. So I would hope that Turkia
[00:23:08] and Pakistan, Islamabad
[00:23:11] will try to persuade the house of saw to reach
[00:23:15] an agreement with these people in some fashion if they insist a
[00:23:19] ruthless war. extermination, I would certainly back
[00:23:23] away from it, I think that would be very bad idea, so I hope the
[00:23:26] if the if the turks are willing to provide some defensive
[00:23:30] support to cities in terms of air
[00:23:33] defense, that's fine, but I I would hope they would
[00:23:37] otherwise stay out of this, because I see no benefit to the Turks or the
[00:23:40] Pakistanis from participating in it. Well, it's definitely going
[00:23:44] to be a trial by fire for very new
[00:23:47] defensive uh coalition, so... we're going to have to see how uh
[00:23:51] it operates without much interoperability between the Pakistanis and the
[00:23:55] Turks, obviously, one them with domestic and American hardware, the other one
[00:23:59] with lot of Chinese hardware, and the Saudis
[00:24:02] obviously not up to the professional level of a
[00:24:06] NATO standard army, so it's going to be interesting to see how these
[00:24:09] kinks get worked out with all zero joint exercises,
[00:24:13] so that'll be something to follow, but bubbling beneath the
[00:24:17] surface of everything that we've talked about is tensions between Israel
[00:24:21] and now after the housting of
[00:24:24] Assad and effectively the removal
[00:24:28] of Iran's influence in Syria, I mean I I first
[00:24:32] thought, wow, this must be great for Israel, they got rid of Iran
[00:24:36] from Syria, that land bridge from Hezbulat to Tehran
[00:24:40] has now been broken, the Turks are
[00:24:42] there a NATO country, Israelis are probably indirectly benefiting
[00:24:45] and happy, but a couple months afterwards I began seeing this uh...
[00:24:50] truth is the next iran didn't take it seriously at first, then saw someone
[00:24:54] like naftali bendet, a former prime minister and opposition party
[00:24:57] leader repeat it, then I started seeing that American
[00:25:01] Israeli lobby cutouts uh repeating it and said,
[00:25:05] okay, someone's putting some money behind this message now because it's getting
[00:25:09] propagated, I started taking a lot more seriously, and now we're starting
[00:25:12] to see some type of indirect action, the bombing of base
[00:25:16] in Syria, uh, lot more uh... lot more
[00:25:20] rhetoric at the prime minister level by
[00:25:22] Netanyahu, where is this
[00:25:25] going? there were many voices behind the scenes in
[00:25:29] Israel, over the last 10 to 15 years
[00:25:32] warned consistently against the notion that somehow
[00:25:36] or another was in Israel's interest to drive
[00:25:40] Assad's government out of Syria, in other words to replace the
[00:25:44] Assad government with something else. It's
[00:25:48] happened, we joined...
[00:26:32] Yeah, well that's a matter for Ankara to decide, but I think
[00:26:36] Ankara now realizes that they have de
[00:26:39] facto created a shared border with Israel,
[00:26:43] because Turkish influence now extends down into Damascus
[00:26:47] and across Syria, and the
[00:26:50] question is, how do the Israelis and and the turks deal with
[00:26:54] this? The problem for Turkey and I think
[00:26:58] for the entire region at this point is really this greater Israel.
[00:27:02] project if you were dealing with an Israeli government that say
[00:27:06] existed 25, 30 years ago,
[00:27:10] whose aims were actually quite limited and was interested
[00:27:14] in peace and prosperity, you might have
[00:27:18] the opportunity to sit down and negotiate. this government doesn't
[00:27:22] seem to be very interested in peace and prosperity under any circumstances
[00:27:26] except those that they dictate. so that means that
[00:27:29] Israel wants its greater Israel project. "and by
[00:27:33] definition that means most of Syria, half of Iraq, nearly
[00:27:37] half of Arabia, a large portion of Egypt, and
[00:27:41] now we can all say that's insane, but
[00:27:44] unfortunately we're supporting it, we're backing
[00:27:48] it, and there is no pressure, none whatsoever from
[00:27:52] Washington on Mr. Netanyahu to do anything different, if you go
[00:27:55] back to 1973, which was the
[00:27:59] last major war between Israel, Egypt."
[00:28:02] Syria, there was enormous pressure brought to bear by Nixon and
[00:28:06] others on Israel to reach an accommodation,
[00:28:10] certainly with Egypt, and that paid off handsomely, and
[00:28:14] many of us thought, well, this is a positive development, perhaps there's a way to make this work
[00:28:18] in the future across the region, that opportunity doesn't
[00:28:22] exist, so the question is,
[00:28:26] do do you in Ankara sit and wait until the
[00:28:29] Israelis end up in Damascus? "do you
[00:28:33] sit and wait until you're confronted with enemies coming at you from
[00:28:37] Israel? uh, I don't know, or do you
[00:28:40] act? and then the question is, well, Turkey is still,
[00:28:44] Turkey is still a member of NATO, but I'm not sure NATO is terribly
[00:28:48] meaningful anyway, and I don't think the Turks should be too concerned about
[00:28:52] that, NATO or the European components of it are certainly not going
[00:28:56] to intervene in that mess. I i don't have any easy
[00:29:00] answers, what I'm trying to do though is tell you..." that what's
[00:29:03] changed and seems to be now a permanent fixture, at least for the
[00:29:06] moment, is an Israeli government that will not
[00:29:09] compromise, and that boads ill for the future of
[00:29:13] turkish influence and power in the region. Colonel Douglas McGregor,
[00:29:17] thank you very much for very enlightening
[00:29:19] conversation.
