COL. MACGREGOR: all of this spells doom for the Israelis if they launch this attack on Gaza. What I've just described is an unwinnable fight

Here is the interview

The last major war that the Israelis were compelled to fight was 1973, and the world has changed a lot since then.

First, the weapons have changed.  The arsenal in the region is enormous.  People are quoting 130,000 rockets and missiles from Hezbollah alone. That kind of Arsenal in and of itself is enough to destroy Israel.  Then you have a problem with Hamas, Hezbollah, and the rest of the region.  The rest of the region is as sick of Israel as much the world and Europe is sick of the United States.  What I mean by that is that we are on threshold of Total War.

And the Turks have an unhappy record with the Israelis.  Just a few years ago they tried to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.  The Israelis boarded their ship, killed some of their citizens and turned back the aid.  This kind of thing did not cultivate support and friendliness with Turkey.  And remember that Mr. Erdogan is the leading de facto military power in the Sunni Arab world.  Finally, you have the Pakistanis who are very close to the Turks And have made it abundantly clear that the Turks will receive nuclear warheads and other capabilities if they need them in order to deter the Israelis from using a nuclear weapon.  And finally, The Turks have the largest army in air forces in the region the Turks can put 2 million Men in the field in little over a month and the Turks are ferocious fighters and all of this spells doom for the Israelis if they launch this attack on Gaza.  What I've just described is an unwinnable fight even the air power from the United States if we could commit is not going to be enough and we all know that we don't have troops on the ground we simply don't have many soldiers or Marines or at this point..
