3:44Ben Meiselas: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 from the Prime Minister of Denmark, Mehta 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 midpowers 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.

4:58Ben Meiselas:Let me show you what went down here. This was from Dragone's speech, Commander Dragone of NATO, talking about the fragmentation that exists and that if you want to prepare for peace now, you got to prepare for war in order to keep the peace. Really powerful language from him. Here, play this clip. The world is fragmenting, fragmenting, whatever it calls, but fragmentation is not destiny. 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.

5:50And 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 tell you originally, Si vis pacem para bello. That was from Vegetio Renatus, four centuries after that, So, 1500 years of history and civilization.

6:55In English, it was mentioned yesterday. If you want peace, prepare for war. A lesson identified that we keep on repeating. Maybe it is time we finally learn it together so we can move forward i'll show you another clip right here

7:19Ben Meiselas:of commander uh dragoni who talks about uh 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 that fracturing by revisionist authors 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 a large-scale conventional warfare to the European continent. I want to share more from Commander Dragoni 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.

8:26Ben Meiselas: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. 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 that are testing NATO, testing Trump, and he's utterly failing, testing the allies of the U.S.

9:15Ben Meiselas: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. The center 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.

10:00And 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. And it has been to our region's great benefit that the United States has chosen to invest in that order based on an enlightened conception of its own self-interest. The task before us, all of us, including the great powers, is the renovation of that order, not its dismemberment.

10:48And in the maritime domain, that renovation is urgent. The seabed is becoming a battlefield. The shadow fleet is becoming a weapon. The choke points through which our region's prosperity flows are under a pressure they have not experienced in the modern era. Australia is investing to meet that challenge. We are investing in our own capabilities, in our alliances, in our partnerships across the region. And we are committed to the region's security architecture and dialogue, so exemplified by the gathering this weekend, because we understand that security in our region is indivisible, that what threatens our neighbours ultimately threatens each of us, and that what we can build together we cannot build alone.

11:38The sea connects our great region, and what we must all decide is whether that connection will be governed by the laws we have built together or contested by the tactics of those who prefer the alternatives. Well, Australia's answer to that question is clear. Rules are essential. and operating by them is the pathway to regional peace, security, and prosperity. Thank you.

12:06Ben Meiselas:I'll go back to Commander Dragone over here, over in NATO. More talk about resiliency. Let's play this clip. Being resilient means to be able to absorb shock. And this is not enough anymore. Our ambition should be anti-fragility. Partnership, defense and societies so strengthened by lessons that we will not even feel those shocks. So, no unnecessary duplication, of course, but open door to a certain degree of strategic redundancy. This is where our investment and our partnership should aim to. And as we look ahead to the NATO summit in Ankara in July, as military, we expect that also the partnership agenda will advance in all aspects alongside the capability agenda.

13:14We expect concrete steps of interoperability on industrial cooperation and on the whole of society frameworks that give depth to our security architecture. Our military advice is crystal clear. The nations gathered in Ankara have an opportunity to set the terms for a more secure, peaceful world underpinned by our shared commitment to the terms and defense and our shared interest in stability and prosperity and here he talks about nato becoming a more

13:48Ben Meiselas:independent entity and clearly what he's referring to is independent from the united states here play this clip from a military point of view what we are now focused on in nato is the 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. The NDPP gives countries in NATO concrete targets for the capabilities that they expected to deliver with their investment and you could say that the The NDPP is how we turn our billions into battalions and battleships.

15:02Ben Meiselas:Look, if you're in this community, you're paying attention. You know what's happening. And a lot of what's happening, it's directly affecting your Medicare. Plans are being discontinued. Premiums are going up. And the broker you might have talked to probably pushing Medicare Advantage plans, even if they aren't right for you. That's why I want you to know about Chapter. They're the only advisors who compare every Medicare plan in the country. Thousands of people from this community have already used them. One viewer, Kevin in Florida, is saving$2 ,100 a year. Another, Stephen, finally has a plan that covers his dialysis.

15:41Ben Meiselas:And for the Midas Mighty, a call with Chapter is free and takes just 20 minutes. So if you're on the right plan, they'll tell you. And if not, they'll help you find a plan that fits your needs. I want you to know that we've gotten such incredible feedback from the might is mighty about Chapter. Frankly, it is overwhelming the positivity that is out there for Chapter. And so I'm so glad to be affiliated with it. I'm so glad you're all having great experiences. So call 82 Medicare today to speak with Chapter. That is 82 Medicare and feel confident in your Medicare coverage. And here, Dragoni talks about that fragmentation.

16:22Ben Meiselas:Let's play it. In this context, one of the most concrete arenas in which partnership delivers strategic value is defense industry. 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, shared research and development, strategic autonomy with a 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.

17:33The coalition that result outperform one assembled form in compatible parts under pressure.

17:43Ben Meiselas:And here he talks more about the NATO meeting and how the importance of NATO staying together is here play this clip just days ago may 19 we met with all the 32 nato chief of defense the quality of the strategic coordination the frankness of the exchanges and the unity of purpose in that room were crystal clear an alliance doing the hard work of adaptation under pressure and succeeding at it. Beyond that band of brothers and sisters, though, as chairman of the military committee, I invest considerable time engaging also with partners. To me, this is a strategic investment because these partners share our interest in peace and security.

18:42Ben Meiselas:Then we heard from Denmark's Prime Minister, Mehta Friedrichsen, and he or she blasts Donald Trump. Let's play this clip. They need a future. First of all, it was a very difficult situation for the Kingdom of Denmark because we need everybody to respect that we are sovereign state. And as you said, our territorial integrity has to be respected. The US president was very outspoken about his desire about Greenland. I think we responded also very clear. We had a public discussion, and then we agreed to have this high-level working group. It's still working. Of course, we would like to have an even closer cooperation with the U.S.

19:31Ben Meiselas:More from Friedrichsen right here about a mistake that was made, she says, by Denmark and by Europe, generally, lots of other countries. Post-World War II, post-Cold War is everybody believed that the United States would have their back and be this benevolent superpower based on ideals, values and principles of the rules-based order that the United States wrote. So we thought the people who wrote the rules would follow the rules. And then we noticed that they were deviating from it. Trump won. And now in this second Trump regime, the United States has abandoned it. And we've been left holding the bag.

20:14Ben Meiselas:Remember, Denmark purchased some F-35s that they've learned to regret. Canada saw that and go, we got to get our hands on the Grippens. And now we know that it seems that Canada may order three to four times as many F-35s, three to four many times of the Grippens as they will with the F-35s, as they were expected to get with the F-35s. Here's what Prime Minister Friedrichsen had to say of Denmark. Let's play it. And I think all of us are stronger because of the alliance. So I will never suggest to weaken NATO, but I believe that Europe should be able to defend itself. Not because of what the U.S.

20:58are thinking about the future or their political decisions, but simply because a Europe that is not able and willing to defend itself, what is that? So for me, it's also a question about identity. I think we made a mistake after the end of the Cold War, reducing our military, I mean, our spendings and hoping that if anything happened, then a U.S. would come and help you. It's simply the wrong way of looking at yourself and your countries and your borders. So I will do what I can to support NATO and to keep us together. But I believe that Europe needs to rearm totally and be totally able to defend ourselves.

21:47And of course, that will require a lot of spendings on capabilities and so on. And as you know, I mean, Denmark are using more than 3 % now.

21:59Ben Meiselas:Now, with all of this going on as well, you have President Zelensky of Ukraine calling out the Trump regime for refusing to do any deal with Ukraine regarding a lot of this drone technology. And Zelensky's like, you realize we're trying to help NATO. Yeah, sure. We need Patriots, Patriot missiles. We need THAADs and Patriot missiles because we just don't have that capacity. But we have the best drone technology and we know that modern warfare is all about drone technology and drone interceptors. And so Zelensky is like, we've gone to all of these countries. They want our drone technology. But Donald Trump refuses to say yes to this deal that we want to basically give it to them.

22:46Ben Meiselas:And this should be beneficial to everybody. Watch what Zelensky said. And now keep in mind, Commander Dragone, keep in mind, Fredrickson, keep in mind the Australian defense minister as well when I'm reading this to you. So Linsky goes, we wanted to conclude the first drone deal with the United States. The U.S. wanted to test all types of our drones. We agreed to the way they wanted to test, train with, and use our systems in the air, on land, and at sea. But we still don't have a bilateral drone deal, a big framework document. The drone deal we have are with some countries in the Middle East and Europe.

23:22Ben Meiselas:And now we are preparing a big drone deal with the EU. I hope we reach the same agreement with our American partners. I count on it. American companies have advanced AI technologies that we don't have. In turn, we have many things that you don't have due to our extensive experience on the battlefield. I think this cooperation can be huge, the most powerful of its kind in the world. We need to negotiate, not just talk about it. Take the necessary steps and do it as quickly as possible. For this, we need President Trump to say yes. As our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski said, Let's talk about what's really going on here.

23:57Ben Meiselas:I mean, you're competing with Don Jr.'s drone company. What the hell do the Ukrainians know about drones compared to Don Jr., right? Don Jr., Eric, they have their drone company. Their drone company seems to be getting the deals from the United States government, it seems. I've seen a lot of reporting on that. I'm sure you've seen the reporting on that as well. Come on, what are we doing? What are we doing here, folks? uh zelinski also talked about how we are trying to intercept all russian drones even when some of them are going in the direction of other countries like romania moldova poland or the baltic states if we can't we immediately notify our partners and try to help them russia uses drones to pressure nato countries engage the reaction this is their typical message don't help ukraine i think there should be a stronger response from a united NATO.

24:51Ben Meiselas:Putin is comparing this reaction to what he saw in previous years, and he's also testing air defenses of NATO countries bordering Russia or Belarus. Are they capable of intercepting all the missiles and drones? Again, powerful words indeed right there. And contrast those words over there to Trump saying, we left all of Iran's military intact. He says, we left them intact. We want them to have their military. He says, because the IRGC are the moderates, Trump says. So he's refusing to take the drone deal from Ukraine. He's tarnished our relationship within NATO. Obviously, you heard Commander Drigoni.

25:29Ben Meiselas:And he's out there saying that he kept the Iran military in place. Didn't he say he destroyed the military? Now he says the military's in place because the IRGC are the moderates. Interesting. Here, play this clip right here. Their Navy is totally gone, 100%. percent their air force is totally gone 100 percent their military we've sort of left it alone because we think that their military is somewhat somewhat moderate they have other people that aren't moderate we've taken them out we've taken different forms of leadership out we've actually left their military alone people would be surprised to hear that because mistakes have been made in wars where you wipe out everybody and then you have a country that's you know for 40 years can never rebuild.

26:13Ben Meiselas:And with this breakdown of a rules-based order, you had Netanyahu earlier talking about how the IDF, the Israeli army, expanding deeper into Lebanon. Our forces crossed powerful obstacles. They seized commanding terrain and captured the Beaufort Ridge and the castle there. And now my instruction is to deepen and expand our hold on areas that were under Hezbollah's control. We are initiating action. We are operating on all fronts in Syria, in Gaza, and in Lebanon. It will take time, but we will complete the mission. And notice that is clearly being done as well in order to prevent a deal between the United States and Iran, because one of Iran's preconditions to a deal is that there be a a permanent security guarantee in Lebanon.

27:03Ben Meiselas:And Israel's pushing deeper into Lebanon right now and blowing up Tyre, sir, the city there. Blowing up South Beirut, blowing up Beirut. It's horrific, the travesties that are going on there. And so that gives you the full kind of update of everything that's going on. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe.
