5:13Ben Meiselas:Finally, Donald Trump is receiving the message from furious European leaders that Trump should have received a long time ago. Europe is done with Donald Trump. Europe is done with the United States as long as it is led by Donald Trump. The Pax Americana, Europe recognizing its alliance with the United States as a powerful force for good, recognizing America's leadership in the world, that is over. Now, Germany's Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, delivered a powerful speech in Germany where he declares the Pax Americana, which existed for decades, is over. Let me share with you what Friedrich Merz, the Chancellor of Germany, said at this powerful speech in Germany.

5:57Ben Meiselas:Let's play this clip. I will come back to this point shortly in the context of foreign and security policy. But dear friends, the decades of Pax Americana are largely over for us in Europe and indeed for us in Germany. It's not the same as we once knew it, and no amount of nostalgia will help, and I'd be one of the last who wouldn't gladly give in to such nostalgia. But it's no use. That's how it is. The Americans are now very, very firmly asserting their own interests, and that can only mean one answer, that we must now also assert our own interests. And my dear friends, we are not nearly as weak.

6:42We are not nearly as insignificant.

6:46Ben Meiselas:Right now, that speech took place right before a meeting was set to take place between the Ukrainian delegation, who actually wants peace and a ceasefire, and the hostile American delegation, which at this stage is doing the bidding of Russia, doing the bidding of Putin, and trying to get Ukraine to surrender most of its eastern territory to Putin, which Putin will then use to then launch an invasion of Kiev and then go further into Europe. Now, at this meeting that took place between the American delegation and the Ukrainian delegation, Chancellor Merz, who you just heard in that speech, was there.

7:27Ben Meiselas:And he inserted himself representing the interests of Europe as allied with Ukraine, And he sat right in the center of the Ukrainians. And he was directly across from the American delegation of Witkoff and Kushner and others. I'll talk about that meeting in just a moment. But I want to share with you another powerful portion of Friedrich Merz's speech that he gave before that meeting, where he talked about how the ambitions of Putin are like those of Hitler. And that if we want to avoid a World War III, it is important right now to defend Ukraine. Ukraine's future is Europe's future. Watch what he says here.

8:10Ben Meiselas:Let's play this clip. This is a war of aggression by Russia against Ukraine. It is against Europe. And if Ukraine falls, then he will not stop. Just as in 1938, the Sudetenland was not enough. Putin will not stop. And for anyone who still genuinely believes today that they have had enough of this, they should please meticulously examine his strategies, his official papers, his public speeches and all of his appearances. So then the meeting took place between that American delegation, Steve Witkoff, my opinion, a Putin bootlicker, Kushner, a Putin and Middle East Saudi bootlicker. And then you had Zelensky there on behalf of Ukraine and others representing the Ukrainian delegation.

9:08Ben Meiselas:And we already knew that it's a foregone conclusion that these discussions are not going to be fruitful. And the way we know that is because if you listen to what Putin has been saying, if you listen to what Putin's top aides have been saying, the foreign ministers, the press secretaries, they're all saying that what they want is absolute surrender of Ukraine. And so what Putin is doing and what Trump is doing with his envoys are just trying to figure out these soft spots in order to try to get Ukraine to fully surrender or to buy time while Putin tries to claim that he's making advances on the front lines, which Putin is not doing, or at least not doing anywhere near the speed to which he's representing.

9:59Ben Meiselas:So let me give you an example right here, what we've heard just in the past day or two. So the Russian ambassador to the UK, Andre Kellen, here's what he's saying. This is what Russia is saying. Just so you have no doubt the dynamics here, because I only want to bring you the receipts and show you the facts. On the one hand, Ukraine wants ceasefire and peace. That could take place immediately. What does Russia want? Russia wants total surrender. And you'll hear the Russian ambassador to the UK saying as such. Here, play this clip. You have always said you want a comprehensive plan, but Trump is clearly impatient and he wants some progress quickly.

10:38Now, there was a 28-point plan. I don't know whether you know what was in it. And then there was a new version that he talked about last week. What do you understand his plan to be? Definitely it should not be a deal. At the moment, we have to talk about surrender Because Kyiv should think not about the deal, but definitely the situation on the ground, the situation in economics of Ukraine, the situation in Europe where there is no spare money for Ukraine. They put Kyiv in condition when they have to think how to save the state, not to be a failed state. You're saying it should be a surrender?

11:17It should be definitely a certain surrender. That is not the basis for peace talks, is it? that peace talks have to be about a deal and a compromise, not a surrender. Nobody wants to surrender. No. The issue of talks, probably, I'm not sure about Europeans. They're talking about a deal. But a deal is a different thing. A deal when there is a certain balance on the field. But there is no balance on the field. You think you're winning? There is a winning, we are in the winning situation, definitely, because the front line is moving very quickly. Very quickly is a big claim, isn't it? It's actually moved very slowly over four years.

12:00It is in your newspapers. But in fact, what is happening is that it is becoming quicker and quicker.

12:06Ben Meiselas:Now, as Garry Kasparov notes, these fake peace plans represent a full year of fake negotiations coordinated by Russia and Trump's White House to prevent and delay stronger action by Europe. Their only real negotiations were in private over how to profit off of dismembering Ukraine. Julia Davis writes, I've been saying it for years. Based on their own statements, Russia is only interested in Ukraine's capitulation, which they would also consider America's defeat as well as an irreparable damage to NATO and the West as a whole. Jay and Keith says exactly to Russia, Ukraine's defeat assures America's defeat, which Donald Trump doesn't realize or Donald Trump doesn't care about.

12:53Ben Meiselas:Ukraine is just the most crucial step in the process of eliminating Western democracy. Russians are astonished that they managed to convince the U.S. to take the biggest step in that process voluntarily. Look, last minute shopping during the holidays is the worst.

14:51Ben Meiselas:So now let me show you what Yuri Yushakov said the same day the meeting took place in Berlin between the American delegation, Witkoff and Kushner and others, and the Ukrainian delegation, Zelensky and others. Now, just to remind you, Yushikov was the guy who was on that phone call with Witkoff that Bloomberg got its hands on where they were mocking Zelensky and talking about the plan of surrender that they were collectively, the US and Russia, forcing upon Ukraine. Ukraine was able to, with the help of European intelligence services, in my opinion, identify that phone call, expose it, which set back what the Russians and Americans under Trump were trying to do.

15:39Ben Meiselas:But watch what Yushikov says here. He goes, I think that any contribution of the Ukrainians and the Europeans to these documents, meaning the plan of surrender, are unlikely to be constructive and will not result in any deal because russia doesn't want a peace deal they want the surrender plan listen to what yushikov says so you can hear in your own word and you could hear for yourself in his own words here play this clip well i think the ukrainian and european contribution to these papers will hardly be constructive that's the problem you haven't seen them yet you said they haven't been seen yet but if there are appropriate amendments we will have very strong objections because we very clearly outlined our position which seemed quite understandable to the americans what are the vehement objections about well concerning many many of the points there will be some completely unacceptable provisions for us including on the territorial question at least that's what i believe is this the possible demilitarized zone in the donetsk republic that's currently being discussed at a certain not only that but the issue of territories was actively discussed here in moscow and americans not only know but also understand our stance but what they'll achieve on paper after these talks i don't know but it's it's unlikely anything good will come but generally this so-called korean option is it an option for us for such a separation from ukraine or not we have never discussed this particular matter not once we have however

17:23Now,

17:27Ben Meiselas:while all of this was taking place, and by the way, the European leaders recognize this, right? If I recognize it, they recognize it. So Friedrich Merz and Emmanuel Macron and Pierre Starmer, the prime minister of the UK, and van der Leyen, the president of the European Union Commission, they know what Trump and Putin are up to here. And that's why you had Chancellor Merz at the center of the table representing Europe there and strongly pushing back against the surrender that Trump and Putin were trying to hoist upon Ukraine. While all of this was going on in the United States. And this stuff doesn't get reported a lot.

18:10Ben Meiselas:So that's why we need to focus on it. As Michael Weiss writes, Sarah Rogers, the State Department official, I mean, she's a top, she's the undersecretary of state, top State Department official, like right under Rubio. Sarah Rogers, the State Department official who hectored Europeans about free speech, is seen here in this photo with a far-right German AFD deputy, Marcus Fronmeier, whom two Kremlin documents obtained by Der Spiegel, the great Germany media outlet, described as a parliamentarian under our absolute control. This is what our State Department in the U.S. is doing, bringing in someone from a far-right Putin bootlicking party in Germany, an extremist party, as extremist as you get, and this is who our State Department is uplifting.

19:01Ben Meiselas:And you have Marcus Fraunheimer, the extremist, the Putin bootlicker, as documented by Der Spiegel says, my exchange with Undersecretary Sarah Rogers was a new national security strategy, has made it clear that Washington is seeking a strong German partner who is willing to take on responsibility. But do you see here, and I'm showing you this for a reason too, as you have the German Chancellor standing with Ukraine, right, and asserting the strength together to stop what Putin's doing. Do you see how behind the scenes Putin's people, AFD, are meeting with our State Department and trying to undermine those efforts on behalf of Putin with our top State Department officials?

19:45Ben Meiselas:And then our Undersecretary of State, Sarah Rogers, here's what she says. She goes, Unlike the Russian government, AFD took on an anti-censorship stance in its meeting with me last week. One reason they're gaining popularity with Germany. So our government under the Trump regime, as outlined in that national security strategy memo I talked about that was released last week or two weeks ago, which talked about basically uplifting the far right extremist groups to destroy the European Union and destroy NATO. and the perception of NATO as a permanent organization. Here are the tangible steps that are being taken by the United States to do that.

20:25Ben Meiselas:Also, you had Marcus Fraunheimer meet with a guy by the name of Darren Beattie, State Department official who destroyed the Global Engagement Center, which mapped disinformation from foreign adversaries. Beattie has said that Western institutions should be infiltrated by Russia, an aspiration that evidently grows closer to being realized if you look like you just spent the night on a park bench, is what Michael Weiss says there as well. With all of that taking place, a few other data points I want to give you. So I've been reporting on these massive protests in Budapest, in Hungary, against the Orban regime.

21:05Ben Meiselas:The latest involve Orban's version of the Epstein cover-up. In Hungary, the ruling party, the Orban authoritarian regime is involved in this massive juvenile detention center, underage pedo prostitution ring, basically, an abuse ring when they tried to say, oh, we're the ones who are going to stop abuse. We're the ones who are going to stop the traffickers. They're the ones involved in it, right? Doesn't that pattern sound familiar about these far right wing authoritarians? So here you had the main opposition leader, Peter Magyar, who is expected to win the upcoming election, although Orban's expected to do everything he can to work with Putin to subvert the election.

21:49Ben Meiselas:Here's what Magyar says, and you'll just see how big this crowd is right here. Let's just play this clip.

22:10Ben Meiselas:and while all of this is taking place you have donald trump showing utter weakness and you know donald trump while he attacks our european allies trump has coddled up to the you you know, to face the terrorists and to authoritarian. So he coddled up to the former leader of Al Qaeda, who's now the president of Syria. Jolani was his Al Qaeda name. Now he goes by Ahmed Al-Shara. But the former leader of Al Qaeda, he's the guy who went to the White House, who Trump said, you're so handsome. And Trump put all the cologne and perfume on the guy and then started sniffing him like Trump loves that guy.

22:46Ben Meiselas:But what you need to know is that in the past 24 hours, there have been three attacks by ISIS against the United States and one inside. And the links of ISIS have kind of permeated inside the Jolani transitional government, the Syrian transition government. So just the other night, last night, four members of the road safety patrol under the Syrian interior ministry were killed while several others were injured in an ambush style attack. We then saw an ambush style attack that killed American soldiers as well. And it was either ISIS permeating within the transitional government or just the government officials with ISIS sympathies.

23:29Ben Meiselas:But you have a lot of this happening inside that government right now. So Syria is becoming an absolute nightmare right now as ISIS is reasserting itself there. and Trump is looking weaker than ever. You have Hamas asserting itself in Gaza right now. They never agreed to withdraw. You have the IDF still killing innocent Palestinians as well. In addition to their attacks on Hamas, we see the fact that innocent Palestinians still get killed. But Trump never secured Hamas, like get Hamas out of there. Like what are we doing here? And Netanyahu never agreed to a two-state solution. And Smutrich never, these people don't agree to a two-state solution.

24:09Ben Meiselas:and they never signed any deal. So you have all of this taking place across the world right now. And Trump has never looked weaker and he's never, because he is weak. This is the most weak, pathetic stuff imaginable. So you have Zelensky saying, you know, that we're doing our best with these meetings and, you know, that Ukraine's not gonna do anything that could compromise its sovereignty in any way. But we all know that Ukraine has offered proposal after proposal. Russia keeps rejecting them. because Russia demands one thing, total surrender. Total surrender is what Russia wants. It will keep you posted every step of the way.
