Chapter 1: What recent actions have world leaders taken against Trump?
Furious world leaders have turned their backs on Donald Trump and the United States, and they are proclaiming publicly that the era of America leading the world is over. You have Prime Minister Carney of Canada posting the other day a photo with Wang Yi, the Foreign Minister of China. Carney Post. Canada and China are building a more stable and constructive partnership.
Building on the progress made during my visit to China earlier this year, Minister Wang Yi and I focused on creating new opportunities and greater prosperity on both sides of the Pacific. That meeting took place just 24 hours after Carney went to the Economic Club of New York
and delivered a powerful speech calling out Donald Trump's behavior and saying that a strong and powerful Canada is here and America better be ready for it. Prime Minister Carney also posting about his call with Pope Leo the 14th. talking about a message of unity and compassion and hope, Prime Minister Carney doing that, whereas Donald Trump at the same time was posting attacks.
Yet again on Pope Leo XIV, Donald Trump posted, someone should explain to the Pope that the mayor of Chicago is useless and that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. And while Donald Trump is making posts like this one where it's some weird AI image of him dunking over the governor of New York, Governor Hochul.
Chapter 2: How are Canada and China strengthening their partnership?
Now a very popular governor in New York, I might add. You have Prime Minister Carney always talking about improving his relationship with his premiers throughout the various provinces in Canada. You have the Foreign Minister of Oman and the Foreign Minister of Iran posting photos together.
Foreign Minister Araghchi talks about the very productive call and meeting with the Foreign Minister of Oman, expressing Iran's solidarity with Oman in the face of any threat. The threat being discussed was Donald Trump earlier in the week saying that he would blow up all of Oman if Oman asserted its sovereignty regarding the Strait of Hormuz and entered into any deals with Iran.
Just notable to see a foreign minister of Iran speaking as a real president. not just regional power, but dominant power in the world, saying, oh, the United States is threatening you. We got your back, Oman. And so while Iran's foreign minister is posting very strategically about this meeting with the foreign minister of Oman, Donald Trump is posting weird AI images of himself and Tom Brady.
And it says, goat, Tom Brady is a great player and great guy. What's the intentionality? Why are you posting this? Look, you're not supposed to be a troll. You're supposed to be the president of the United States. Behave like an adult and behave like a leader. And folks, these meetings are turning into tangible results that are leaving the United States in the dust.
I mean, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, other American companies are really suffering as a result of Donald Trump's behavior here. La Presse out of Canada, they're reporting that Prime Minister Carney is likely to go with 30 F-35s and 60 Gripen's out of Sweden. The announcement is expected to be around or after the United States midterms.
So what this would mean is that Canada would slash its F-35 orders from Lockheed from 88 to just 30. They've already ordered, I think like 18, right? So it's just 12 more when Canada was supposed to buy 88 F-35s. But when Donald Trump started talking about
kill switches on weapons and Donald Trump showing that he would not provide the servicing and equipment and replacement parts that are needed in deals like this. And so Prime Minister Carney said, look, We're gonna do a review of whether the F-35 right now is in our interest as Canada. And it seems that Kearney's been saying, you know what, it really isn't.
I mean, there's a lot of arguments in favor of the F-35 for all of the kind of weapons geeks out there and fire and plane geeks out there. The F-35 is an incredible plane.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of Prime Minister Carney's speech at the Economic Club of New York?
The Gripen is also a very, very good plane and how it operates in kind of Nordic areas and in modern day war zones though, may be all you need, you know, anyway. And it's a great plane, the Gripen. And, you know, we're seeing Canada also, you know, Canada has the Bombardier jet that's Canadian. I mean, they've worked with Global Eye, another Saab product as well.
And there was an announcement, too, that Canada would not be going with the U.S. AWACS, those big surveillance airplanes. You know, there was the E-3 Sentry. The E-7 is the step up from the E-3. Everybody thought Canada would go with the E-7. and the United States, and no, they went with the Global Eye. Same thing with NATO.
NATO passed over the United States E7, which is a Boeing product, and then instead they went with the Saab Global Eye. And now Sweden's also saying to Canada, let's build manufacturing plants in Canada. Let's help with Canadian jobs. Let's do Bombardier Globali JVs together. Let's do Bombardier Gripen projects together.
And you see how these countries are forming alliances while the United States is pushing everybody away. I mean, you look at France and Sweden, right? Sweden chose Naval Group's defense and intervention frigate to modernize its navy from France. And Macron recently talked about how he thinks Sweden recognizes the trust that it places in France.
So France equipped itself with Saab's Global Eye to renew its fleet of AWAC radar aircraft as a major strategic decision. And then the partnership went both ways, right? France gets the Global Eye. Sweden gets the Naval Group's frigates. Sweden bought four French FDI-class frigates from Naval Group for $4.25 billion. It's the biggest defense purchase since the 1980s.
This would be a purchase that would otherwise go to the United States. And so, again, this is how deals are done. Deals aren't done by just saying, we're going to do a deal. Let's keep talking about deal. You want to do a deal? I'm going to do a deal. You're going to do a deal. I mean, look at what they're doing in South Korea.
South Korea talking about how it needs to be much more self-reliant on its own nuclear-powered submarines. You have South Korea talking with Australia, South Korea talking with Canada about submarine production, again, moving away from the United States there.
um you have nordic countries strengthening its defense alliances along with canada as well canada deepening its nordic ties expanding arctic defense cooperation denmark finland norway sweden iceland plus parts of uh to support greenland as the united states continues to threaten greenland you know what i thought was notable
even these far right-wing parties that were once kind of the corollaries to MAGA in different countries, even they now have to realize, and they're realizing we need to stand up to Donald Trump. I mean, these are kind of hyper-nationalistic far right-wing parties, so it doesn't make sense to let Trump roll all over them.

I mean, right when you had Jeff Landry, Donald Trump's envoy to Greenland harassing Greenland again, what happens? France, which has that nuclear umbrella, immediately goes into Greenland. They send their foreign ministry, enter into stronger defense alliances with Greenland. Same thing with Canada. Canada ensuring that it has a very strong embassy presence as well.
France also then joining a joint German-UK program to develop long range missiles as Europe moves to strengthens its independent long range missile capabilities away from the United States. You know, all of this is happening
all at once and again i know this may not be like a sexy thing to cover if you will like it's not you know oh golden ballroom we're going to cover all that we need to understand what's going on throughout the world i mean also ukraine which donald trump always trashes ukraine and trump's taking putin's side ukraine has developed
cutting edge drone technology, drone interceptors, unmanned submersive drones, detection technology in order to detect incoming drone swarms. And the Middle East nations get it. The Middle East nations that used to rely on the United States security umbrella
they've made these alliances with ukraine but guess who they've also made alliances with china as well and china is really filling the gap as the united states security umbrella has been you want to use the word obliterated obliterated by donald trump in the middle east cooperation between ukraine saudi arabia uae qatar jordan bahrain and kuwait are already taking place.
And they realize the necessity of getting that technology. Whereas for the US, the US is now saying, OK, we need to lean heavily into drone technology. But you know what they're doing, right? Don Jr. has made these deals with different drone companies, some that are not all that well known.
And a lot of these drone companies involving Don Jr., they're getting a lot of the big defense contracts right now. And they're the ones who are thriving. And it seems very, very, very, I think corrupt would be putting it lightly in my opinion. Now, you also need to recognize that Iran has demonstrated these incredible defensive capabilities.
