Chapter 1: What urgent warning did a top NATO Commander give to Donald Trump?

0.031 - 23.484 Ben Meiselas

One of the top NATO commanders, Committee Chair Dragone, just blasted Donald Trump in front of the world during a powerful speech in Singapore. This speech by Commander Dragone focused on the fragmentation of the world that has been caused by Donald Trump's attack on the rules-based order.

Following Commander Dragone's speech, we also heard from Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles echoing the same sentiment of Donald Trump ripping up a rules-based order. Now, they weren't using Donald Trump's name, but it's obvious who they were referring to. Similarly, we then heard

heard from the Prime Minister of Denmark, Meta Fredriksen, who called out Donald Trump for his threats against Greenland and the threats against the overall sovereignty of other NATO nations, with a call by Prime Minister Fredriksen for all European countries to make sure that they build strong militaries and that these mid-powers join forces

to become major global superpowers in a current law of the jungle that's now been created by people like trump by putin and by xi jinping and across the world let me show you what went down here This was from Dragoni's speech, Commander Dragoni of NATO, talking about the fragmentation that exists and that if you want to prepare for peace now, you gotta prepare for war in order to keep the peace.

Really powerful language from him. Here, play this clip.

109.522 - 116.91 Unknown

The world is fragmenting, fragmenting, whatever he calls, but fragmentation is not destiny.

Chapter 2: How is Donald Trump's behavior affecting global order?

118.308 - 143.455 Unknown

The measure of our generation will be whether we allow that fragmentation to accelerate or whether we did the harder work of building deeper and broader partnership. NATO answer is clear. We are adapting. We are investing. And we are reaching outward to partners in this region and beyond.

to civil society, to industry, to every element of our society that has a stake in the outcome, because nobody can do it all alone. The security of the Euro-Atlantic and the Indo-Pacific is interconnected and indivisible, as I already said. The partnership we build and strengthen with you are the foundation of the stability our citizens will depend on tomorrow.

There is an old saying from my native land, which is Italy, and I'll tell you originally. Si vis pacem para bello. That was from Vegetio Renatus,

century after that, so 1500 years of history and civilization. In English, it was mentioned yesterday. If you want peace, prepare for war. The lesson identified that we keep on repeating. Maybe it is time we finally learn it together. so we can move forward.

225.888 - 240.342 Ben Meiselas

I'll show you another clip right here of Commander Dragone, who talks about more of this instability taking place, more of this conflict taking place, more of the fragmentation. Play this clip.

New is the simultaneous fracturing of the stability, institutions, and peaceful prosperity of the past decades. and the deliberate exploitation of debt fracturing by revisionist authors.

260.602 - 280.767 Unknown

We see it in the weaponization of economic independence, the militarization of space and cyberspace, the manipulation of information environments to corrode public trust, and the return of large-scale conventional warfare to the European continent.

281.573 - 307.783 Ben Meiselas

I want to share more from Commander Dragone of NATO in just a moment, but given the similarities of that part of his speech with that of Australia's Defense Minister Richard Marles. Marles gave an incredible speech, and what Marles focused on as well is the importance of a rules-based order. He says it benefits everyone when you follow the rules, a clear message also directed towards Trump.

307.763 - 336.555 Ben Meiselas

And when he also in this speech talked about how there are all of these underwater cables, which basically power the entire internet. There are 15 cables that Australia relies on for 99% of its internet connectivity. And what's actually going on behind the scenes now that nobody's talking about is that there's a shadow war taking place, it seems, where there are hostile powers

336.535 - 359.708 Ben Meiselas

that are testing NATO, testing Trump, and he's utterly failing, testing the allies of the U.S. by dropping anchors in the seabed and severing the connectivity of these critical internet cables that exist. And it's a major part of his speech. Let me play for you what he says, though, about that. Let's play this clip.

359.806 - 388.362 Richard Marles

The centre of competition is a more fundamental proposition, whether the international system will be governed by rules applied universally or by power applied selectively. And that question matters most for the states that are not great powers. When the rules apply, smaller states have agency. When the rules yield to power, sovereignty becomes, as others have put it, the purview of the powerful.

388.662 - 416.467 Richard Marles

And no state in this room today, whatever its size, is well served by that outcome. The international rules-based order is imperfect. It was built by imperfect actors. It has been applied inconsistently. And it has sometimes been invoked by powerful states to protect their own prerogatives. Southeast Asia understands that more than most. But we are so much better off with it than without it.

Chapter 4: What does Commander Dragone mean by preparing for war to keep peace?

is translating this increased funding and investment into real capabilities. Because we cannot deter anybody by waving money in the air. To make our Alliance strong, and something we are increasingly good at in NATO, we have a professional, accountable and strategically informed process. the NATO Defense Planning Process, or NDPP.

665.815 - 689.597 Unknown

The NDPP gives countries in NATO concrete targets for the capabilities that they need to expect to deliver with their investment. And you could say that the NDPP is how we turn our billions into battalions and battleships.

782.93 - 812.835 Unknown

The fragmentation of the global order has a direct industrial correlate. Supply chains under pressure, export restriction tightening, technological decoupling accelerating. Security partnerships are an essential instrument for mitigating that industrial fragmentation. They enable joint procurement, common standards,

share research and development, strategic autonomy with the trusted interdependence among like-minded and the most needed interoperability. When allies and partners produce equipment built to the same standards and trained to the same doctrines, but also works on data, cloud, AI, cyber, logistic standards,
