5:07That was attacked. You go to Abu Dhabi, where there is a French military base. That was attacked. Now you have Lindsey Graham, Donald Trump's warmonger in chief out there. Buddy, buddy with Donald Trump saying, next, the United States is going to invade Cuba. Get ready, Cuba. The invasion's about to begin right there. You have Donald Trump and the State Department now blocking the billions of dollars in funding that was promised to Taiwan because Donald Trump was told by Xi Jinping that there would be no meeting of Donald Trump in China with Xi Jinping if Donald Trump gave the billions of dollars in promised aid to Taiwan.

5:51So Donald Trump has betrayed Taiwan. You look at what's happening in Karachi, in Pakistan, where pro-Ayatollah protesters attack the U.S. embassy in Karachi. Actually, what went down is you had American Marine Security Forces guarding that embassy, open fire on the people in Karachi who were protesting, killing dozens of people there. where you have this conflagration across the world happening. I know we're focusing a lot on what's happening in Iran and what's going on with the United States and Israel. But I mean, just look a little bit towards the east. You have Afghanistan at war with Pakistan.

6:35Pakistan declared war in Afghanistan, saying it's a colony of India. So there's a proxy war between Pakistan and India taking place right there. Let me just go through kind of data point by data point with you, show you what's going on throughout the world. So the first thing I want to do is show you what's going on in Baghdad right now or what's going on in Iraq, where there are heavy clashes between Iraqi security forces and pro-Iran protesters right outside the green zone there. Let's play this clip right here.

7:23This next clip I'm going to show you, you will see cops firing on armed Iran flagged Alu Akbar militants as they tried to storm the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. A lot of deaths there as well. Let's play this clip.

8:01Here's footage from earlier as well as Tammuz Intel posts showing that the gunfire or showing what the gunfire looked like between the pro-Iran protesters and Iraqi security forces. You can see it right there.

8:55Right now, let's bring you to Karachi in Pakistan right here, where you'll see at the consulate, the consulate in Karachi, the United States consulate, as the pro-Iran protesters try to get in the United States Marine Security Guard detachment. The Marines open fire, killing dozens of people. There, let's show you what went down.

9:39Here's another angle of it as well. I'll show you this as well. You can hear the gunshots as the Marines open fire. Let's play it.

10:02now you can see over here what it looked like in beirut massive israeli strikes right there uh Beirut within Lebanon because Hezbollah is now uh joining Iran in the war also the Houthis in Yemen are joining the war uh and with Iran and with Hezbollah and with the Houthis they are working to try to shut down the Strait of Hermes in order to squeeze the oil supply liquefy natural natural gas and crude 20 to 25 percent of the liquefied natural gas and crude coming from pass to pass through the Strait of Hermes they're trying to stop that most shipping companies are not engaging in the risk of trying to pass through the Strait of Hermes you can see over here as OSINT defenders this panic is spreading across southern Lebanon as residents many who have only returned to their towns and villages within the last year, once again are fleeing from their homes due to evacuation orders issued by Israel due to the potential of a looming full-scale renewed conflict with Hezbollah, which we've seen.

11:18And you can see in this next video, Israel launching strikes on multiple Hezbollah targets across Lebanon, including in the capital of Beirut, hitting some of the high-rise buildings there and those buildings came crashing down last night as well we'll take you to athens greece where there were thousands who joined an anti-war protest outside of the u.s embassy in athens these protests were peaceful but let me show you what went down play this clip.

12:03Let's pull up the video of the Chinese army of the CCP army right here. Xi Jinping outmaneuvering Donald Trump quite easily. Donald Trump is so thirsty, so desperate for a meeting with Xi Jinping in China, which Xi Jinping's already given to a lot of other foreign leaders, that Xi Jinping said as a precondition to Donald Trump, quote, the U.S. must handle arms sales to Taiwan with extreme caution, that this is the most important issue in China-U.S. relations, and China will never allow Taiwan to be separated, will never allow Taiwan to be separated from China.

12:45Ben Meiselas:And Xi Jinping told Donald Trump, if you want to meet me in April and you want to have a state visit here, you're going to have to not give Taiwan the$13 billion you promised them. And on the Midas Touch Network, we previously predicted there was zero chance that Donald Trump was going to give Taiwan the$13 billion. By the way, it was an easy prediction because last year when Xi Jinping called Donald Trump and said, hey, do not let the president of Taiwan fly over US airspace en route to South America or Central America, Donald Trump refused to even let the president of Taiwan fly over the United States.

13:24Ben Meiselas:So I'm like, that was a test by Xi Jinping to Donald Trump of, can I boss you around? And if Donald Trump was not going to let the president of Taiwan fly over US airspace. They're not going to give him$13 billion in aid. So for all of the Republicans who are like, yeah, but Donald Trump's strong on China. He's giving Taiwan billions of dollars in aid. No, he's not. Donald Trump, and I've said this before, has agreed with Putin and with Xi that they are going to split the world up into three. That was the plan. U.S., Western Hemisphere, Russia gets Europe, China gets Asia, and then the Middle East and Africa just get carved up and then imperialist wars happen over there.

14:08Ben Meiselas:And then it's a free for all. That was basically the agreement that was made. Rubio is referred to this as the new world order, a multipolar world order where the United States is not the leader of the free world. That's what we're seeing. New York Times reported yesterday that the Trump administration, they've confirmed what we predicted. The Trump administration has delayed arms sales to Taiwan, valued at$13 billion that had been approved by lawmakers. U.S. officials say Trump wants to ensure a smooth summit in April with Xi. The U.S. war in Iran will also cut into military resources for Asia.

14:42Ben Meiselas:So in addition to the fact that Donald Trump is going to listen to Xi Jinping, the United States is running out of munitions right now, which also poses grave risk for our ability to even protect Taiwan or to do anything in Asia at all should China pursue its ambitions in that region. We are running out of our stockpile of munitions right now. One of the things that Donald Trump's top generals and admirals warned is that if we went to war with Iran the way Donald Trump wanted, which he did, we can expend all of our resources very quickly, whether it's using our air defense systems, whether it's using our ballistic missiles.

15:26Ben Meiselas:Gerald Ford has been on a mission now for a very long period of time. It's gonna be probably when all said and done, approaching 300 days, maybe even as long as a year. Morale is low there. Are you looking for something simple and delicious to add to your wellness routine, especially during the winter months when everyone's trying to stay healthy? I definitely find myself reaching for Monocora more this time of year. Colder weather, more time indoors, travel, and just wanting something supportive and natural in my daily routine, it all adds up. Monocora honey is rich, creamy, and the most delicious honey you have ever had.

16:00and that's not an exaggeration. The texture is unbelievably smooth, and the flavor has this deep, complex richness that regular honey just does not come close to. Once I switched, I never went back to regular honey or other sweeteners, especially in winter. Monocora is ethically produced by their master beekeepers in the remote forests of New Zealand. Their bees gather nectar from the manuka tea tree, which is packed with powerful bioactives. That's what gives this honey three times more antioxidants and prebiotics than regular honey, helping support your cells and your gut where most of your immune system actually lives.

16:32And in winter, when you're dealing with colder weather, busy schedules, travel, and everything going around, those nutrients are especially helpful. Manuka honey also naturally contains MGO, a rare antibacterial compound that sets it apart from all other honeys. One of my favorite ways to have monocora is straight off the spoon first thing in the morning. You let that creamy texture melt in your mouth and coat your throat. It's honestly become a ritual I look forward to. You could also add it to tea, yogurt, oatmeal or smoothies if that's more your thing. And I'll also share my secret recipe quickly.

17:04Hot water, monocora honey, lemon. That's it. Trust me. Start your day with that. You are good to go. It's a game changer, and all you need is one heaped teaspoon each morning to get the most out of the amazing bioactives in Manuka. And using it throughout the day is totally fine too. It's a great way to cut out other sweeteners. Now it's easier than ever to try monocora honey.

17:52Ben Meiselas:and you know one telling signed as well of america's fractured relationship with allies too there was this whole report i'm not sure if you caught it where people were like the french aircraft carrier charles de gaulle it's going to come to the middle east to help the united states and that was being spread and then france had to come out with a statement and saying, uh-uh, Charles de Gaulle ain't coming to help the United States. And France and other European countries, they used language that was very weak in terms of saying their support. They're like, we'll help the United States defensively.

18:31Ben Meiselas:And obviously, if Iran goes after our bases, we're going to have to respond in turn. It was really a message that they wanted to send Iran. And I think what happened behind the scenes was that the French diplomats spoke with the Iranian diplomats. They got a deal that no more attacks on France. And then once they got that confirmation, because the Abu Dhabi base was struck by Iran, once they got that confirmation, France agreed, I think, behind the scenes with Iran, we're not going to send our aircraft carrier, Charles de Gaulle, to help the United States. Because it was a very interesting sequence of events, and I'm fairly confident that's what is happening.

19:09Ben Meiselas:It should be noted as well that while Donald Trump is cozying up to Xi Jinping, Xi Jinping and his foreign ministers have been the biggest critics of Donald Trump's invasion of Iran. Xi Jinping and Russia obviously now moving closer together as well, and they are allied with Iran. And so you had China's top foreign ministers strongly condemning the United States, calling for a halt in the military actions. Beijing's foreign ministry said this is a serious violation of Iran's sovereignty, trampling on the aims and principles of the United Nations charter. China firmly opposes and strongly condemns the United States.

19:55Ben Meiselas:We demand they immediately halt military operations. And that was done as well after a phone call between Beijing's top diplomat Wang Yi and Russia's counterpart, Sergei Lavrov. And they're like mocking the United States and Donald Trump's response after being mocked by China and Russia, who are supporting Iran and Iran is giving its Shahid drones over to Russia to kill Ukrainians. Donald Trump cozies up to Putin and he doesn't help Taiwan. And of course, remember what went down last week where there was a UN vote on lasting peace in Ukraine and the United States abstained. Even Donald Trump's former top general ambassador, Keith Kellogg, who was out there, a diplomat, who was out there to be the envoy to Ukraine.

20:52Ben Meiselas:He was first supposed to be the envoy to Russia and Ukraine. Keith Kellogg makes a social media post attacking the Trump regime's foreign policy. Here's what Keith Kellogg writes. A UN vote on lasting peace in Ukraine and we abstain? The Russian Federation was against the proclamation. Is not four years of war enough? Is not missing children, shelling of cities, and the killing of innocents enough? It is not a business deal. It is a war. that's donald trump's own envoy to ukraine saying that it criticized a former envoy to ukraine all of this is taking place kim jong-un declared north korea's nuclear status permanent and irreversible during a major party congress parade and vowed to continue upgrading the country's nuclear force and prepare for confrontation with the united states cbs reports at the same time he signaled conditional openness to dialogue, saying there would be no reason not to maintain good relations as long as the U.S.

21:51Ben Meiselas:recognizes that North Korea is a nuclear power and withdraws what he called its hostile policy. He's taunting Donald Trump to his face. And frankly, there's nothing that Donald Trump can do about it at this point. Then you have Lindsey Graham calling for war in Cuba. And by all accounts, this is what Donald Trump wants to do. One administration official told the Atlantic, the president feels like I'm on a roll. Look at what we did in Venezuela. Look at what we've done in Iran. I want Cuba next. And Lindsey Graham was on TV saying that as well. Here play this clip. President Trump finished the job that President Reagan failed to do.

22:32I am a big admirer of Ronald Reagan, but I'm here to tell you that Donald Trump, in my opinion, is the gold standard for Republicans, maybe any president, when it comes to foreign policy. Maduro, everybody talked about him. Well, Donald Trump's got him in jail. Cuba's next. They're going to fall. This communist dictatorship in Cuba, their days are numbered. The Iranian regime, the mothership of international terrorism, is about to collapse.

23:05Ben Meiselas:And then finally, I'll show you this video right here as clashes erupted between Shiite protesters and Bahraini security forces after pro-Iranian protests surfaced there. Let's play this clip as well.

23:29Ben Meiselas:now with all of this taking place donald trump is saying that he expects that there will be a lot more deaths of american soldiers but it is what it is donald trump says that is what it is donald trump says when it comes to you know american soldiers dying that's what happens in wars that people die, Donald Trump says, expect a lot more deaths. Donald Trump said that one of the reasons he went after the Ayatollah is he said the Ayatollah tried to kill me. So I got him first, Donald Trump says. And then he also said that, you know, he thinks that it'll just be just like Venezuela. He's just trying to use the Venezuela template on Iran and that he's going to just try to put somebody in place in Iran who is still part of the Islamic Republic, but is a little bit nicer to Donald.

24:18Ben Meiselas:That's what Trump's hoping to achieve after all of this is to, after lives and treasury laws, to prop up somebody else from the Islamic Republic is what Trump said. So someone still from the regime, another Ayatollah is what he's telling the media as well. So we covered a lot there, giving you the geopolitical strategy. I'll give you the quick update on Ukraine. I should always talk about Ukraine on these videos. You know, I dedicate full videos to Ukraine as well. So Zelensky has been making some incredible moves. I think as he sees that Donald Trump is, you know, now focused on Iran and Donald Trump's dealing with his stuff.

24:58Ben Meiselas:Zelensky struck with inside Russia. And it was a very powerful strike over at the Novorossik port and oil terminal in Russia. And that was a big move. You know, that was kind of unprecedented in the war so far. And so I think Zelensky is just showing strength. He's going to go after Russia to protect Ukraine while Donald Trump is, you know, distracted on this. And of course, Donald Trump showing his colors anyway, which is look what he's doing with Taiwan. And of course, Donald Trump's already shut down weapons to Ukraine. So Ukraine's like, all right, it's on. We're going to defend ourselves.

25:36Ben Meiselas:But I don't know how we look at this and not reflect that. Like the war, we don't have to call this World War III. We don't have to say that. But the world everywhere is in a war right now. Like we all agree that almost everywhere in the world, there is war. Now, whether you call that a world war or not, I'm just letting you know. I gave you all these data points. Like a lot of the world is in a war right now, one way or another. Let me know what you think. hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers.
