What triggered Donald Trump's loss of control on the world stage?

Ben Meiselas 0:07
All hell is breaking loose as Donald Trump has caused the entire world essentially to turn against the United States very, very quickly. What you just saw there at the beginning of this video was Iran launching its 80th wave of strikes on US bases and infrastructure and at Israel. Since this war has begun, Iran has shown no signs of slowing down its strikes. As Donald Trump is out there saying he's ready to do a 30-day ceasefire and he's ready to do a deal with Iran, the Iranian military leadership is responding, mocking Donald Trump and mocking the United States, essentially. It is deeply, deeply embarrassing. I'll get to that in a moment. Equally embarrassing to have French military leaders like France's army chief, Fabien Mondon, warning that the United States is becoming increasingly unpredictable, affecting France's security interests.
Ben Meiselas 1:15
We were surprised. by an American ally who's becoming increasingly unpredictable and doesn't even bother to inform us when they launch military operations. That's France's army chief right there. Or listen to what Turkish President Erdogan is saying on Iran. He says, although the war is Israel's war, the whole world is paying the price. The war is Netanyahu's war for political survival, but 8 billion people are suffering the consequences. And from people in Iraq, to Turkey, to Pakistan, to Lebanon, to Egypt. And within Arab nations, people are speaking out against the United States, especially as the United States security umbrella is demonstrating that it ain't providing security. All the pay-for-play schemes are

funneling money to Trump and his family. Trump has demonstrated not just that he's a paper tiger, but that he is weak and pathetic and just lies all of the time about everything. I mean, think about Qatar.

How is Iran responding to U.S. military actions?

Ben Meiselas 2:28
They bought Donald Trump his own jet, his own private jet they gave him, right? They were expecting in return that Donald Trump would help, but instead, Qatar Energy has now declared a force majeure on their additional liquefied natural gas contracts, by the way. It's going to impact Taiwan and others running out of LNG. Qatar provided about 20% of the LNG to the world. We can't get it right now. And so state-owned Qatar Energy has declared force majeure on several long-term gas supply contracts with buyers in Italy, Belgium, South Korea, and China, citing major disruptions to its LNG export capacity. Just so you know, a force majeure means that there is this force of God that we can't follow through on our contracts.
Ben Meiselas 3:18
So we're breaking our contracts as permitted by a force majeure, this act of God, if you will. The move allows the company to suspend its deliveries without being found in breach. The disruptions are linked to the damage caused to it when Iran struck it after the U.S. and Israel struck the Iranian South Pars facility, which is connected to the northern part facilities of Qatar. Now, as I mentioned before, you have Iran responding to Donald Trump saying that, oh, we're involved in this negotiation and that negotiation. You have the spokesperson for the Iranian military saying the following, Our position from day one has been clear and remains unchanged. Someone like us will never come to terms with someone like you, not now, not ever.
Ben Meiselas 4:12
Have your internal conflicts reached the point where you, referring to Donald Trump and the United States, that you're now negotiating with yourselves? Don't call your defeat an agreement. You will see neither your investments in the region nor previous energy and oil prices return. Until it is our will, nothing will return to how it was. That will only happen when the idea of acting against the Iranian people is completely erased from your minds. Earlier this morning, I did a video on what Iran has said its non-negotiables are. It listed its demand. The Trump regime called it laughable. So anytime Donald Trump and his deranged regime are out there saying, oh, we've got a deal in principle with Iran, or they're agreeing to this, or we think we're very close to a 30-day ceasefire, it is all a lie.
