Donald Trump has been caught invading former United States allies with United States military force. And now our allies, or I should say our former allies are, are responding with force. They're not just taking it. I'll give you an example that you probably haven't heard about. The United States has been sending fighter jets to encroach in Austrian airspace unauthorized without permission of Austria. The United States military is flying missions and so Austria had to respond not once but twice over the past 48 hours. Yep, in the past 48 hours, Austria has had to scramble Euro fighter jets. And after US Aircraft breached the airspace in Austria again, There was a PC12 operated by the US Air Force. These fighter jets entered Austrian airspace without permission and the aircraft then turned back toward Munich after being intercepted by Austrian fighters. According to reports, the repeated incursions have triggered major diplomatic engagement between the two sides. And if you're like Ben, what are you talking about? Well, Austrians Foreign Ministry spokesperson Michael Bauer, he said that this is happening scramble of priority a deployment of two Euro fighters due to overflight by 2pc12 of the US Air Force. You have the US literally harassing allies, harassing NATO, harassing European countries, harassing anybody you know in the region. Whether it's harassing Mexico, for example. I mean, there was this great CNN expose that just dropped where the US has been launching this secret CIA war in Mexico largely without the permission of Mexico, where there have been drone swarms by the US Over Mexico. We have major CIA assets in there. And again, a lot of this is being done without Mexico's permission. Here's how Drop site describes the c the CNN report. CIA running secret assassination campaigns inside Mexic against cartel members. The CIA has been directly participating in deadly operations against cartel members inside Mexico including a target car bombing that killed an alleged Sinaloa cartel operative on a busy highway outside Mexico City on March 28 as part of an expanded covert campaign spearheaded by the agency's elite ground branch unit, CNN reported Tuesday. The operations may violate Mexico law, which bars foreign agents from participating in law enforcement without federal government approval. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says that she was not informed of the CIA raids on an alleged meth lab in Chihuahua that preceded two CIA operatives dying in a car crash. There cannot be any agents from any US Government institution operating in the Mexican field, she said. The CIA called this report false and salacious without specifying what was inaccurate. Sources warn that operations risk cartel retaliation spilling into the United States. Mexico's security secretary, Omar Garcia Horfuch, rejected CNN's characterization of the car bombing as a CIA facilitated, but notably stopped short of denying the report, adding that the government categorically rejects the version that seeks to normalize covert options on Mexican soil. And we're seeing as well, you know, former allies and former top leaders in allied countries speaking out strongly against the United States right now. I mean, you have Qatar's former prime minister, Sheikh Hamid bin Jassam bin Al Jaber Al Thani, and he told Al Jazeera the military action by the United States did not serve the region in general. In the catastrophic war in Iran, America harmed its friends in the region. The military operation served Netanyahu personally. It served his agenda. He openly talks about a new map of the region, new alliances, a greater Israel. They are ignorant of the structure of power in Iran. This pyramid has been built over 47 years since the day the Shah left. It won't collapse the way that they think. And Al Thani, the former prime minister, also said Iranians have been accustomed to entering negotiations, succeeding in delaying them and continuing them indefinitely. There is sometimes a trick in not using a trick. Iran is not prepared to give up its nuclear program to America for free. They view it as an existential sovereign matter. One Iranian official told me, Ukraine handed over its nuclear weapons and look what happened to it. Iran as a state sees Israel and Pakistan possessing nuclear weapons even if they say they don't seek them. I believe this is the conclusion they will reach after 20 years. And after several years they will get there. So you have Qatar's former prime minister and Al Thani from the Al Thani family saying Iran is going to get nuclear weapons and there's nothing that Donald Trump can do to stop it. You also had Andreas Kravik, Norway's deputy foreign minister, visiting Tehran for talks with Iranian officials, bilateral discussions. And I did a whole video where I showed all of these European countries, all of these Asian countries, one by one entering into bilateral negotiations with Iran, mostly phone calls with Foreign Minister Iraqi that would have public readouts. And I just find it notable though that now we're seeing former allies. And I'd look, I'd like to believe that countries like Norway are still allied with the United States in name only. They may be. There's great history, there's great love. I mean, let's be clear amongst the people of America. We love Norway, we love Europe, we love Canada, we love Mexico and Central America and South Africa. We love Africa, we love Asia. You know, it's Donald Trump who doesn't treat any of these nations with respect. It's the leadership in the United States that has alienated these alliances. And so as I talk about Asia as well, you know, we see a major conference involving Asian countries as well as the UK and France that just took place. The UK and France yesterday chaired a meeting attended by 44 nations, including non European nations such as Bahrain, Australia, Japan, South Korea and others on building out an international framework to provide security through military means for the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded by saying that any military framework, though enacted by an international state actor, will be treated as an escalation by Iranian decision makers. And to make sure you do bilateral negotiations with Iran, we see both Iraq and Pakistan cutting deals with Iran ships to ship with Iran rather to ship oil and liquefied natural gas from the Gulf. This was according to five sources with knowledge of the matter that told this to Reuters. Another demonstration of Tehran's ability to control energy flows through the straight of Hormuz.

episode and what is Marco Rubio doing? What's the Trump regime doing? Well, you have Stephen Chung, Donald Trump's Communication Director, posting a photo of Marco Rubio heading to China wearing the Nike Tech Venezuela Air Force One, the same outfit that Maduro war when he was kidnapped. And you have, you know, Secretary Rubio thinks this makes him look strong. I just think it makes him look pathetic. I think it makes the entire Trump regime look pathetic. Right now y' all can't even open up the straight of her moves and you're begging for a $1.5 trillion military budget. You had a $1 trillion military budget and you lost in a war to Iran. We're talking about Ukraine before we're talking about nations uniting against the United States. Zelensky posted the following yesterday we are steadily advancing the issue of anti ballistic capabilities production in Europe. We are forming an anti ballistic coalition. This is something worth noting and right now we are closer to a result than ever before. Thirteen countries and the office of the NATO Secretary General were represented at today's meeting at the level of NSA's and anti ballistic solutions. Overall, Ukraine's position right now on the front line in our long range sanctions and in our joint results with partners are the strongest they have been in years. Ukraine has taken the initiative on the battlefield. Donald Trump always sides with the losers. As Donald Trump digs in more with Putin and has abandoned Ukraine, Ukraine has actually gotten stronger and Ukraine is making advances in its counteroffensive and I love that Zelinsky referring to to the drone attacks on Russian oil depots and other infrastructure facilities. Long range sanctions. So what's Donald Trump saying? Donald Trump before he went on this trip to China, which we all know is going to be an absolute disaster, Donald Trump admits over here that he's done with NATO and opec. He attacks NATO and OPEC before he leaves. Here, play this clip what is more
- [14:46]
Donald Trump
broken, NATO or opec? Well, OPEC is having some difficulty right now because one of those things. But that has nothing to do with me. NATO was very disappointing to me. NATO was not there when we wanted them. Was not. We don't need NATO. We don't need NATO. But if we did need them, they just weren't there. Here can help contribute to a deal with Iran. He could. I mean, it might be. I don't think we need any help with Iran, to be honest with you. They're defeated militarily and they'll either do the right thing or we'll finish the job. They're either going to do the right thing or we're just going to finish it.

Show you this right here. Robert Kagan, known as being a neocon. Robert Kagan at the Brookings Institute was on pbs. Here's what he said about the US Alliances abroad. This is coming from Kagan right now, of all people. Play this clip.
- [15:47]
Robert Kagan
Well, first of all, this is all taking place in the context of the Trump administration destroying all our alliances around the world. We've effectively destroyed the NATO alliance. Trump has made it clear that he's not interested in supporting our European allies, and therefore our European allies are going in a different direction. I think that we're going to see the same thing in East Asia if we're not already seeing it. The Japanese and the Koreans are paying an enormous price. They're almost entirely dependent on this energy supply, and they're going to have to start figuring out how to look out for themselves. So there is a big general global breakdown, but specifically in the case of the Gulf, the United States used to be hegemonic in the Gulf, and a lot of nations depended on the United States being supreme in the region and capable of enforcing a general peace. The United States has now demonstrated not only that it cannot, but that it is not it can't be really trusted to make sound strategic judgments. So I think even the countries of the Gulf which have been dependent on the United States are going to have to look elsewhere. And so the net result is a real diminishing of American global influence and unmistakably the increase in influence of China first and foremost, but also Russia, they are the biggest beneficiaries, to some extent other than Iran, of the war so far. And I say that in full consciousness of the fact that Iran has suffered terribly. But even so, it can emerge from this war and I think is going to emerge from this war stronger than before the war began.

And then you had Pete Hegseth during his hearing before the Senate. He also was before the House. Here's what Hegseth said where he further attacked NATO, which you see the response by NATO. NATO seeing sea. I did a video on this yesterday, right. NATO has said we're gonna, we're gonna do a Europe version of NATO with our own article 5 like guarantees we're seeing coalitions without the US the US showing that America first now just means America alone. Watch Hegseth, who served in Afghanistan, can't even give NATO countries the credit for sacrificing along with the United States. Just so utterly pathetic. Here, play this clip.

Pete Hegseth
I mean, a burden with political limitations. I'm not talking about the troops. Thank you. Our president said in Europe that we never asked for and never received anything from our NATO allies. Was that your experience in Afghanistan serving and fighting alongside our NATO allies? I have written extensively about that and the vast majority of my experience was frustration with the limits of what those troops were able to do because of the political caveats, rules of engagement and limits that came from their. But you don't doubt or question that about a third of all the combat casualties in our war in Afghanistan were our NATO partners and allies. I would have to go back and check that number, but I take your word for it. Let me just assert that hundreds and hundreds of service members from, as you put it, Australia, the United Kingdom, as well as many other of our allies serve, fought and died alongside us. So I'm just going to simply say in terms of our reliance on our partnerships, I'll agree with the Chairman that at a moment when Russia and China, North Korea and Iran are coming closer together and delivering a bedeviling lethality in this ongoing war in Iran for which we don't have a clear strategy or clear answers, our better strategy would be to partner more closely with Ukraine, dig in deeper with our real values based allies, our treaty allies in the western Pacific and in Europe and together, together find a path out of this rather than berating them and bullying them for not coming along in a war they were not consulted about or briefed on before it began.
