My name is Mackenzie, and I started a GoFundMe for the adoptive mother of a nonverbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child. So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis.

1:48And we raised about$10 ,000 within just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed. We had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with.

2:23Ben Meiselas:All hell is breaking loose as Donald Trump's disastrous and unlawful war in Iran continues to escalate, engulfing the entire Middle East in absolute war. On the one hand, Iran is striking Bahrain and Dubai and Central Israel, Tel Aviv, Northern Israel. On the other hand, Israel is just demolishing Lebanon. I mean, southern Lebanon, Beirut, everything surrounding Beirut, utterly destroyed buildings are being toppled in Iran, the United States, and Israel dropping weapons almost indiscriminately all over Iran. Iran keeps launching those ballistic missiles and those Shahid drones. And meanwhile, you have President Zelensky of Ukraine speaking before both houses in the UK parliament, trying to explain like, hello, we know how to shoot down these Shahid drones.

3:27Ben Meiselas:We've also developed our own drones. We've developed sea drones. We've developed the most advanced drones that are. Maybe you want to speak with Ukraine because we know a thing or two about modern warfare. Also something I want to talk about in this video as well. NATO recently ran a simulation of all of the NATO assets versus Ukraine with Ukraine's sea drones and its air drones and its FPVs, those first person viewing drones that Ukraine uses. In all five simulations, Ukraine beats NATO. And what this tells you is modern warfare is all about drones and countering drones with the right types of interceptors.

4:15Ben Meiselas:This should have been known to Donald Trump and his idiotic regime, but they were too busy trying to cozy up to Vladimir Putin, which frankly, they're still doing right now, removing sanctions against Putin. While we know clearly in the Wall Street Journal again reported on this, that Putin is providing Iran with weapons, with intelligence, how to kill Americans, how to destroy American assets. And what does Donald Trump do in retaliation when he knows that Russia is working with Iran to destroy America? Donald Trump goes, let me lift those sanctions against Russia to allow Russia to send its oil to the rest of the world and make huge profits so it can then buy more weapons to give to Iran.

5:00Ben Meiselas:And it could also focus on destroying Ukraine while Zelensky's trying to help. So let's break all of this down. When I say all hell is breaking loose, I'm not being hyperbolic. I'm just describing what is happening. Watch what just happened in central Beirut in Lebanon after an Israeli airstrike. Israel is just demolishing entire buildings. They say they're going after Hezbollah, which they are targeting as well, but they're also targeting civilians and they are killing people in hospitals and mothers and children. And it is absolutely despicable. Here, play this clip.

5:53Ben Meiselas:Now, let's talk about what's going on in other areas of the world. In comments that interestingly align with those of French President Emmanuel Macron, as OSINT Defender explains, open source intelligence, Iranian Foreign Minister Aragji has said that a new post-war framework for the Strait of Hormuz must be put into place. While it's yet unclear if Argachi's comments were made in an effort to synchronize French-Iranian signaling, it nonetheless aligns with what France's president has said in the past few days amidst increasing communications between the two nations. Do you get what's happening here?

6:36Ben Meiselas:There are bilateral discussions going on between France and Iran, between Italy and Iran, between Middle East nations and Iran. And what they're talking about is a new security framework for the Strait of Hormuz, i.e. without the United States being a leader in the area and focusing on bilateral relations where essentially Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and you need to do one-off deals with Iran to pass the Strait of Hormuz. If you watch the ship traffic and there's not that many ships going through the Strait of Hormuz, they are going very close to the shoreline of Iran. It seems like Iran's laid all of these mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

7:20Ben Meiselas:And just a brief primer for those who just don't know what I'm talking about with the Strait of Hormuz. That's the strain in the Persian Gulf. 20 to 30 percent of the gas that we receive, the oil, comes from that Strait of Hormuz. It passes through there. Iran's able to control it. Not just that though, but fertilizers, agriculture, a lot goes through the Strait of Hormuz. So this has a huge impact. And when Iran shuts it down, which it does now, it has this massive impact on the global economy. And a lot of people who are feeling the brunt of it are these Arab nations that thought they were doing quid pro quos or pay for plays with Donald Trump and Kushner, and they're like, we paid you, but where's the play part?

8:06Ben Meiselas:Like, we are paying you to protect us, not to screw us over. Take a listen to what the Times is reporting. Despite a$500 million investment by senior UAE officials in a Trump-linked crypto company, let's just call it what it is, a bribe, Gulf states still receive no warning about the U.S. Israeli attack on Iran, reinforcing a sense of unequal treatment. Although the so-called Abraham Accords were meant to ease tensions, resentment is growing, especially as Gulf countries feel far less protected. A young professional summed up the frustration bluntly. So Israel gets an iron dome and we, the Arab nations, get F-U-C-K-E-D.

8:53Ben Meiselas:Now, let me just show you this because I think this highlights how the entire world is feeling right now about the United States. Take a look as CNN drops a massive reality check. As Furkan Guzkala describes it, favorable views of the U.S. have plummeted by a staggering 79 % globally since the war in Iran started. The world is completely rejecting Washington's warmongering and refusing to support the trump regime here play this clip yeah okay so you see these numbers you see these shifts down in terms of how our allies or folks in those countries view u.s military action in the middle east you see how unpopular it is this time around canada japan the uk and this is just part of a larger picture mr berman a larger picture favorable view of the u.s in 2025 versus 2024 of course donald trump being the president 2025 joe bine being the president united states in 2024 look at this favorable view of the U.S.

9:53down 79 percent of 24 countries residents asked. The bottom line is this. The folks overseas are far less likely to view the U.S. favorably. And those chickens, they're coming home to roost in this situation as there's very little support abroad for the U.S. military action in Iran.

10:10Ben Meiselas:Now, you also know that earlier yesterday morning, Donald Trump, like the little petulant baby that he is, started posting that the U.S. no longer needs or desires help from NATO nations and any other allies or partners. We don't need Japan, South Korea, and Australia, Donald Trump says. I'm not surprised by their action. Now we're being informed by most of our so-called NATO allies that they don't want to get involved with our military operation against the terrorist regime of Iran in the Middle East. This despite the fact that almost every country strongly agreed with what we are doing. But Donald, over the weekend, didn't you say that all of these nations were supporting the United States?

10:57Ben Meiselas:Didn't you say you brought this coalition together? Oh, wait a minute. You lie about everything. You lie about ceasefire discussions with Iran. Every word out of your mouth is a lie. And our allies or former allies just know that everything you say is just complete and utter nonsense and dangerous dribble at that. Lindsey Graham saying earlier today, I just spoke with Donald Trump about our European allies' unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger at what's at stake.

11:38Ben Meiselas:All right, oh my God, are you angry? What are you gonna do? Are you gonna write a very mean tweet about it? What are you gonna, you're gonna be very angry? You're gonna yell? Are you gonna say mean words? Oh my, what are you gonna do? You're gonna drop some missiles, tough guy? You're gonna start killing people? They're so utterly, all of you people are so utterly pathetic. By the way, yesterday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the UK made it clear we will not be drawn into a wider war here. Play this clip of what Starmer said. Play it. Second, while taking the necessary action to defend ourselves and our allies, we will not be drawn into the wider war.

12:23Ben Meiselas:And then over here, Kierre Starmer in his, I guess his podcast is, what do they call it? Fireside chats, if you will, with Kier, as he calls it. He basically says, what we're focused on is de-escalation and trying to reach a settlement and resolution over what's going on. I mean, whether it's the UK, whether it's France, whether it's Italy, they want this thing resolved and deescalated while Donald Trump's out there. What teasing cliffhangers like this is like season three of like the OC or something like, oh, what's going to happen on next season? Are we going to send those 5000 marine expeditionary unit forces that are heading from Japan to the Strait of Hormuz?

13:07Ben Meiselas:Ooh, are we going to do a full-fledged ground invasion in Iran? Ooh, what is Netanyahu going to tell Donald Trump next? Ooh, what's going to happen? Watch what Keir Starmer says. Whether it's conflict in the region, whether it's the impact on oil and gas, or just the worry that most people have about how's this going to impact me in my home, the best way to reduce the impact is to de-escalate, to get to the end of hostilities, and then get to a negotiated settlement. And we're speaking to all of our allies to try and make sure that that happens as quickly as possible. Let me tell you, if there's a surefire way to wake up feeling fresh after drinks with friends, it's with pre-alcohol.

13:45Z-Biotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for rough days after drinking. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and you'll feel your best tomorrow. Look, I won't lie, I was a bit on the fence about pre-alcohol initially, but then while hanging out with some friends at my local bar, I gave it a shot, and believe me, it's the real deal.

14:25March is a marathon of social events. From the slopes to the bracket watch parties to Guinness on St. Patrick's Day, pre-alcohol is the tool you need to fully enjoy the end of winter.

15:21Ben Meiselas:what your perspective is based on our history. Watch what the prime minister of Ireland says. And I think Donald Trump didn't realize that Ireland has a prime minister and a president, by the way, but here, play this clip. You know who that is? Churchill. That's the late, great Winston Churchill. And Barack Hussein Obama did not want his bust in this office. Did you know that? And Barack Hussein Obama sent that bust back to England. They didn't want it. and when I came in I was asked if I wanted I said absolutely I want it and I put it right there Winston Churchill and you know unfortunately Keir is not Winston Churchill

16:09just could I hold it hold it just make a number of points first of all I think notwithstanding what has happened the transatlantic relationship between Europe and the US is very very important on a number of fronts and I think we've had issues over the last year so we'll be settled and I think many of these leaders engage with you particularly on trade initially remember all the fuss last year but we got a landing zone between Europe and the US and I think we can get a landing zone again and I think I just met with Keir Starmer last week the British Irish relationship was very important one and Churchill was a great wartime leader although in ireland it was kind of a different perspective in terms of during the war of independence is one he created his own bit of difficulties for us but that said he was a great wartime hero keir starmer has done a lot to reset the irish british relationship i just want to put that on the record um but i do believe that he's a very earnest sound person who i think you have a capacity to get on with you've got on with him before and you've got on with other european leaders of the West.

17:12Ben Meiselas:Now, as I mentioned earlier, there was a NATO naval exercise where the Ukraine led forces defeated the NATO fleets using sea drones versus all the NATO ships, right? Think about it. The NATO has all of the top ships, everything. And in the simulations, Ukraine won five out of time, five out of five scenarios. They sank all the frigates in the simulation. NATO forces never even detected the Ukrainian drones. And folks, this is really important. And it's important to note, why do you think, for a variety of reasons, why Russia is sharing satellite imagery and drone technology and weapons with Iran?

17:54Ben Meiselas:Because Russia knows that it's getting its ass kicked from Ukraine right now. And Donald Trump is throwing Russia a lifeline right now, both in terms of economically by lifting the oil sanctions against Russia, allowing it to sell oil at like hugely inflated prices now. What's a barrel of oil now? 103, 105. I mean, that's heading up to$150 per barrel soon. Just watch. Right now it's at$103 per barrel. You know what you're paying. It's over$5 for diesel. It's approaching$4 on average, right, just across the country to fill up your own car with gas. Russia is hugely benefiting from this. And also Russia knows that if it can bog down the U.S.

18:41Ben Meiselas:here, they could try to siphon resources away from Ukraine. And Russia wants to destroy the United States. That's Russia's goal. While Donald Trump wants like selfies with Putin. It's so freaking bizarre. So that's what Russia is doing. So Zelensky spoke in parliament in the UK and he addressed both houses. This was one of the most powerful speeches I've seen. Here's what Zelensky talks about how he's educating NATO. So over there you have him, you have Starmer, and then you have the secretary general of NATO. All of them are there together. And then he's speaking in front of both houses in the UK parliament.

19:23Ben Meiselas:And Zelensky is like, let me explain to you how modern defense works. Watch this. He goes, we must go further. We must build modern defense forces. Isn't it incredible how Ukraine, through its ingenuity and innovation, basically has the most powerful army in the entire world right now? Let me repeat that again. In my opinion, Ukraine right now has the most powerful military in the world based on its technological innovations, its understanding of drones, its understanding of drone interceptors, its understanding of how to deal with Shahids. They have the most advanced. Now, they need resources.

20:03Ben Meiselas:They need money. They need equipment because they're under attack. right they need the support but in terms of the knowledge and the ability to execute there's just no one out there no country out there that knows more than ukraine here play this clip we must go for them we must build modern defense forces together only together with you with all our allies in europe we must produce all levels of air defense against drones and all types of missiles, including ballistic. Our seas must be secure and our forces in other seas must be protected from all threats. Europe not only has this potential, it also has a mission to protect not only itself, but what it believes in.

20:49We believe in people, in their rights and freedom. We believe in culture and we want nations to live in real, real peace, strong peace and communities in respect. Together, Europe is a global force. One of the world cannot do without and that no one can stand against. We must grow these strengths and we can do it and we must direct it and we can.

21:19Ben Meiselas:And then Zelensky talks about how they started off with the simple kamikaze drones, but then they built drones with turrets that can shoot down helicopters. Watch how he describes the innovation. This is quite incredible. Here, play this clip. We started with simple kamikaze drones. Then we built drones with turrets that can shoot down helicopters. Now we have drones that can shoot down Russian fighter jets from the sea. We have developed boats that carry other drones. We also have boats that strike targets on land from the sea, and we are developing more stable drones that can operate longer and more effectively at sea soon, and not in the distant future, we will have systems that can operate even in ocean conditions.

22:05We are also effectively working on underwater systems. So facing threats in the Black Sea. We are finding the right security solutions. And these solutions can be used in your matters as well, including in complex situations like the Strait of Hormuz today. Drones can solve problems that even a fleet sometimes cannot.

22:32Ben Meiselas:Then he talks about the ability to churn these out. 2 ,000 effective and combat proven interceptors every single day. 2 ,000 a day. Here, play this clip right here. First, we are capable of producing at least 2 ,000 effective and combat proven interceptors every day. We can produce more. It depends on investment. We need about 1 ,000 interceptors a day, and we can supply at least another 1 ,000 a day to our allies. Second, we know how to build radar and acoustic coverage to respond to our Shahids and other drones approach. Third, we have software that allows radars to keep working even on the electronic warfare jamming.

23:20In real time, we analyze enemy frequencies and respond to them. And because of this system, we understand how effective our defense is against almost every attack drones. And we can move our positions and air defense to get better results. This iPad gives full control of the situation because we have a system for using our defense tools. If a Shahid needs to be stopped in Emirates, we can do it. If it needs to be stopped in Europe or United Kingdom, we can do it. It's a matter of technology, investment, and cooperation. And the fact that we go through this winter, which Russia tried to make deadly for all our families, shows that our solutions work.

24:11Right.

24:12Ben Meiselas:So there you have it, folks. What I really want to do with these videos is give you the perspectives that you're not hearing on corporate news. like are you watching zelinski's uk parliament speech anywhere else and then seeing what's really happening in beirut what by the way more people were killed in gaza in the past 24 hours and innocent children and mothers being killed again in gaza there was never a ceasefire there remember we've always been from the outset we said this isn't everyone's saying a ceasefire There's been no ceasefire there. I want to make sure we're covering the complexity of what's happening in the Middle East.

24:51Ben Meiselas:Every country. Go into the city. Go into details that you're not hearing any, you know, that I don't think you're hearing in a lot of other places. I don't want to say anywhere else, but not in a lot of other places that synthesize it like this. It's very important for us to bring you that information here. So hit subscribe.
