Chapter 1: What are the implications of Trump's war against Iran?
all hell is breaking loose as donald trump's unlawful and disastrous war against iran is even taking a further turn for the worse and world leaders who were formerly allied with the united states are now standing up and saying no more donald we're out i'm gonna show you what Friedrich Merz, the Chancellor of Germany, had to say. I'll show you what Prime Minister Carney of Canada had to say.
I'll show you what Prime Minister Takeishi of Japan had to say. I will show you what Prime Minister Giorgio Maloney of Italy had to say. I'll show you what President Lula of Brazil had to say, and I'll show you how America's enemies are just mocking the United States right now, whether it is Kim Jong-un doing ballistic and cruise missile tests.
after the United States removed the THAAD missile systems from South Korea and laughing and mocking South Korea as a result of Donald Trump's betrayal, whether it is China cutting deals with Iran and just having safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz and just mocking the United States as they bring their oil out, whether it is India
directly negotiating with iran whether it's french president emmanuel macron and italy's defense minister both out there saying you know what we're going to do bilateral negotiations with iran right now because the united states is less reliable in providing security guarantees then perhaps we can negotiate with iran yeah it is that bad let's just go through some of the facts right here so
You know how we reported on the news that the United States is sending approximately 5,000 Marines and sailors as part of this Marine Expeditionary Unit over to the Middle East. It's expected to take about 10 days to two weeks, which shows you that this war is not going to end anytime soon. But you know where these 5,000 Marine Expeditionary Unit are? troops, you know where they're coming from?
They're coming from Japan, right? The same way the United States has removed the THAAD systems and other critical military defense systems from South Korea, the United States is removing troops from Japan, which was supposed to be a buffer from China in the event China invades Taiwan, Japan has to get involved.
And Asia becomes embroiled in the same type of conflict that we're now seeing in the Middle East. If this war spreads, the United States is now spreading itself then. And not only that, it's just betraying its allies in Asia, removing troops, removing THAAD missile systems, not giving
Taiwan, the billions of dollars in military aid that was promised there and just giving the middle finger to our allies. So as Jeffrey Hall explains, a few days ago, the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit and the USS Tripoli trained alongside Japanese troops in the Iron First 26. These Japan based US forces would be extremely important in the event of a Chinese attack on Taiwan.

Chapter 2: How are world leaders reacting to Trump's actions?
the trump regime is sending them out of the pacific right now and they are going to the middle east and we've talked about how donald trump may be putting ground forces in order to try to occupy
uh the karg island uh in the strait of hormuz more on that in a bit as well korean media published this image where you can literally see the united states dismantling its thad and patriot systems just dismantling it from south korea and south korea destroyed all of its relationships with China and others in the area leaning into the United States.
We know former President Biden, former President Obama made it a big priority to pivot to the Pacific and to court South Korea, Japan. Remember when you had like Biden, South Korea and Japan all standing side by side, shoulder to shoulder? Well, we made all these promises, gave them systems, and now Donald Trump's just taking them back, just stealing them, basically.
South Korea torpedoed their relationship with China over the deployment of American THAAD and Patriot systems. And now the US just took it away without any notice, just ripped it apart. And that's how it's being reported on South Korean media. As I mentioned before, Kim Jong-un, North Korea,
he did a strategic cruise missile test from a new 5 000 ton naval destroyer which was done right on the day the united states removed those thad systems to send a message to south korea that you are in jeopardy and the u.s is not going to protect you so prime minister takeishi
of japan made it very clear we will not be sending any self-defense forces to help you donald trump at all whether it's to remove mines from the strait of or moose the japanese navy has and their self-defense forces has a really good expertise and they said stay away from us we ain't helping you at all goodbye and good luck
and prime minister takeishi addressed the parliament and said as much and similarly you had izo nakamishi who's a member of the parliament there in japan he gave this speech that a lot of people are citing right now where he described uh here's what he said he goes as the legislative branch amid the world situation reaching depths of confusion How should Japan steer its course forward?
I believe that originally a much more thorough deliberation was necessary to which the embassy of Iran responds to the parliament individual from the member of parliament in Japan and says, On behalf of the Iranian nation, we express our deepest gratitude to the Honorable Isa Sinisei Sensei for his heartwarming words and for standing in solidarity with humanity.
The international community must stand firm against the lawlessness of aggressors. But you see how they're now kind of working together and they are, you know, pivoting. More towards each other as the U.S. has is alienating everybody who should be our allies.

Chapter 3: What military movements are the U.S. making in the Middle East?
And we were a little bit surprised that we heard this morning that the American government decided differently. This is definitely not our view. We are sharing the six out of seven that this should be not the case because Russia is benefiting from that. And we are seeing this into the right different direction.
We should put more pressure on Russia to bring this terrible war to an end as soon as possible. And that's the reason why we are having a different view on this decision, which was obviously taken in D.C. last night.
More from Chancellor Merz on Iran right here, where he says, with every day this war lasts, more questions are coming up. And you heard what he said before about Donald Trump removing sanctions from Russia when all of the G7 said that they weren't going to do that. Donald Trump rushed to help Russia. Merz is like, what the hell are you doing?
And now Chancellor Merz is like, with every day that passes, more questions are coming up about what are you doing donald like what are you i mean the fact that merits is saying this so loud and publicly i think is something important to take note about here listen to what he says play this clip
terror. But with every day this war lasts, more questions are coming up, more than can be answered yet. And one thing becomes increasingly clear. We need a convincing plan on how this war can come to an end. Meanwhile, we're witnessing a dangerous escalation. Iran indiscriminately attacks states in the region, among them close partners and allies of our country to Germany.
The Strait of Hormuz is basically closed. And we condemn this in the strongest terms. We have no interest in an endless war. Or if the territorial integrity or statehood of Iran was crumbling, or if Iran was no longer economically viable, it would have severe impacts on us as well. So we need a good outlook for a peace order.
Now, at that same event, Prime Minister Carney made it very clear that, look, it's Canada's position. We're going to maintain sanctions on Russia, unlike the United States. And here's what he has to say. And basically calling out Donald Trump. Let's play this clip right here.
I'll just reinforce that, entirely agree.

Chapter 4: How is the U.S. perceived by its allies in Asia?
Canada's position is to maintain sanctions on Russia, maintain sanctions including on the Shadow Fleet, which is moving this oil. You know, there has been very tight cooperation between Russia and Iran, at great cost to the people of Ukraine, and a great threat to peace and security in Europe.
This group, under the leadership of the two gentlemen to my right, and a broader coalition, Coalition of the Willing, has stood up to that, stood up to that in providing the framework for security guarantees, stood up to that in terms of providing support and training and materiel to Ukraine.
All of us have contributed considerably to the defense of Ukraine, stood up to it in terms of sanctions, which we stand by and will continue to do so.

Chapter 5: What statements have world leaders made about U.S. foreign policy?
give your hair the upgrade it's been waiting for then you had brazil's president lula who says just think about this this is what brazil's president is saying we are a peaceful region no nukes our drones are used for agriculture and science not war but if we don't prepare for defense we'll be invaded
So as this account explains, countries everywhere are waking up after Donald Trump and Israel launched an illegal war in Iran. And President of Brazil's like, if we don't build up our military right now, you know, Trump's going to invade us. We have to create our own military because the United States, who we once thought was our friend in the region, is now an invading, predatorial country.
overtly predatorial force that wants to take over the entire hemisphere and like rain down death or whatever the hell Donald Trump has been saying. Meanwhile, Donald Trump continues to attack the president of Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum. He's reposting attacks on her. He's basically saying that she's a narco government leader. It's like, what are you doing, man?
You're just trying to burn every single bridge that you've got. And then while Vladimir Putin is out there helping Iran, while Putin is providing material support to Iran to kill American soldiers, to target American assets, to help Iran win the war against the United States,
While all of the G7 was united, you heard what Frederick Merz had to say, while all the G7 was united, not to remove sanctions against Russia, to keep the pressure on, not to buy oil from Russia.
Donald Trump lifts the sanctions against Russia and allows countries to buy oil from Russia, basically an $11, $12 billion gift from Donald Trump to Russia after Kirill Dmitriev and Yusha Kob were hanging out in Miami with Witkoff and Jared Kushner, and by the way, Jared Kushner and Witkoff have been hanging out in Russia in the past 24 hours. That's all they do.
They talk about making deals together, economic cooperation, chilling with each other, hanging out. How utterly deranged is this behavior? Then you have President Zelensky gave this interview with Politico yesterday. Here's what he had to say. Play this clip.

Chapter 6: Why are countries in South America concerned about U.S. military actions?
How can there be a peace deal at some point between two people who hate each other?
Nobody say that somebody will give each other friendship. No friendship. He's a killer. He tried to occupy us and kill so many people. And we answered to them and he lost a lot of soldiers. So it's understandable the attitude, but we need peace. The peace It's not emotional thing. The hateness, it's about emotions.
The peace is very specific document which can give our people possibility to live and to stop the war. That's why this is the priority. It's not about personal attitude. It's not about personalities.
And further, Zelensky posted the following message. He said, it is important for everyone around the world that through joint efforts, we succeed in stabilizing the situation in the Middle East and the Gulf region and prevent this war from spreading further as well. Everyone sees the loss of life. Everyone sees the destruction and the threats to different countries in the region.
Everyone sees the destabilization of global markets due to the effective halt of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Opinions may vary regarding this U.S.

Chapter 7: What role does Ukraine play in the current geopolitical landscape?
campaign against the Iranian regime, but it is hard for anyone to argue with the fact that the regime in Iran is a terrorist in nature and the entire region in Iran itself certainly needs far greater respect for life and stronger protection of life first and foremost from this regime in Iran.
ukraine can contribute to stabilization more than 10 countries have already approached us for support and defending against shahids iranian attack drones these are essentially the same attack drones that the iranian regime supplied to russia and taught the russians how to use today ukraine has the greatest expertise in the world in countering the shahids from developing interceptors to establishing
a systemic defense against drones it is not enough simply to obtain interceptors somewhere there must also be experience in using them our warriors have such experience there must also be proper systemic work with radars and with the entire air defense system ukraine is ready to share this experience for security of those partners who are helping us and donald trump's response to that was we don't need your help by the way while our military is actually asking zielinski for help
You have Donald Trump publicly saying, we don't want their interceptors. We know what we're doing on our own. We can handle this. But then our military is asking Zelensky, but Donald Trump continues to insult Zelensky and help Russia in the war against Ukraine. This is utterly deranged stuff.
And meanwhile, you have the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and their affiliates through various telegram channels targeting US tech firms and issuing the following warning. This is an urgent warning to employees of the major US tech companies in the Persian Gulf. Immediately evacuate your offices. Citizens and residents near these locations are advised to stay away from the surrounding areas.
The warning names of offices and major technology firms include Qualcomm, Adobe, Dell, Intel, Apple, Cisco. Apollo Alto Networks, Oracle, Salesforce, Amazon, Microsoft, Google Alphabet, and IBM in the Dubai, Riyadh, Doha, Kuwait City, Manama, Bahrain, and locations in Oman. Employees are instructed to leave their workplace immediately and avoid gathering near their sites.
And we see this war spreading as well, right? We see Iran striking the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. We saw the U.S. strikes in Baghdad against pro-Iranian militias.

Chapter 8: How is Iran's military strategy impacting the region?
So basically, the U.S. is back in war in Iraq right now. We see the devastation being rained down in Lebanon and suburbs of Beirut by Israel. They say they're targeting Hezbollah, but they're just destroying Hezbollah.
I believe they're targeting some Hezbollah and they are targeting Hezbollah, but they're also targeting suburban areas, killing a huge amount of civilians in these suburban areas there. And now Israel says that it is preparing a full scale ground invasion of Lebanon, full scale ground invasion of Lebanon.
the wars you know now deeply rooted in iraq as well 5 000 marine expeditionary unit troops from japan being moved there taiwan is completely vulnerable right now as that systems are removed and the us is not funding taiwan do you see this reordering of global power right now and china's just kind of staying back right china's staying in the background um there was a uh
a recent UN resolution to condemn Iran, rather than veto it, China's like, we're just gonna abstain, just let the US continue to make mistakes here. You had the Chinese foreign minister say that, look, China's gonna be working with Manab to help rebuild the elementary school and help the community of people who were killed.
the little girls who were killed by the United States in the elementary school. Here, play this clip.
Dams all indiscriminate attack on the civilians and non-military targets. Attacking schools and harming children seriously violate international humanitarian law and even cross the baseline in the humanity and the human conscience. Our hearts go out to the victims and those who have lost their loved ones in this attack.
And the Red Cross Society of China has decided to provide $200,000 of emergent humanitarian assistance to Iranian Red Crescent for comforting and compensating these bereaved families. China would continue to provide assistance needed in the spirit of humanity to support the Iranian people in overcoming difficulty.
And then Donald Trump out there yesterday on the tarmac in Joint Base Andrews saying things are going wonderful. Here, play this clip.
It'll be as long as it's necessary. They've been decimated. Their country's in bad shape. The whole thing is collapsing. If you read some of the fake news, it's like, oh, they're doing wonderfully. They're not doing wonderfully. They're doing the opposite. They're doing as bad as you can have. I would say this. I won't give you time, but we're way ahead of schedule.
