Furious world leaders have issued an ultimatum to Donald Trump. Open up the Strait of Hormuz immediately, or we are done in every respect with the United States. We're seeing world leaders cut bilateral deals with Iran one after another, whether it was at the recent BRICS bloc meeting in New Delhi, or whether it is European nations and countries across the world picking up the phone and dialing Foreign Minister Araghchi and cutting direct deals with Iran. You have former allies of the United States recognizing Iran's sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz by their actions. And this is 100% caused by Donald Trump's weakness, to which Iran is spiking the football, and they're just saying the quiet part out loud. Here's what they posted: After ships from China, Japan, and Pakistan safely passed through the Strait of Hormuz with permission from Iran's Navy, several European countries are now seeking Iran's approval to allow their vessels to transit the strait. So one of the things that Iran choreographed with China while Donald Trump was out there basically begging Xi Jinping for help and saying how strong and how powerful you are, Xi Jinping, and please ridicule the United States even more.

00:01:25

Iran was allowing multiple Chinese ships, the VLCCs and other big ships to leave the Strait of Hormuz in order to to send a message that Iran will make real deals with countries while Donald Trump is out there flailing, would be putting it politely. Now we've seen how Donald Trump's trip was perceived in Japan. That was one of the countries I mentioned that have cut bilateral deals with Iran, and it ain't looking pretty for the United States in Japan right now. Take a look right here at— this is typical right now of Japanese television programming. Hat tip to my friend Thomas Logan, you know, who lives there, who's been sharing with me the sentiment in Japan right now. This is pretty much what sums it all up right now on one Japanese TV network. Japan has been unceremoniously sidelined by Trump and they now watch him sucking up to the red Chinese. So soon after Japan's Prime Minister Takeishi showed up and tried to flatter Donald Trump in Washington, DC, flounderingly in retrospect, but Donald Trump was out there bending the knee, bowing down to Xi Jinping. Or you have a professor from a renowned university in Japan, Keio University.

00:02:50

And here's what he says. The US-China summit was awful. This is the sentiment of kind of top-level elites and all of the people in Japan, rather. The US-China summit was awful. From the announced content, issues like Taiwan and Iran were just the two countries trading claims back and forth. Trump was more in salesman mode than as a US president, making no strong assertions on global issues, not even discussing US-China macroeconomic problems like he did 9 years ago, and merely pushing for purchases of US crops and encouraging Chinese investment in US companies. Above all, when Xi Jinping belittled the United States as a declining nation in his opening speech, there was no sign of anger on social media. He just blamed it on the Biden administration. I can feel America's decline. Even though Japan's security is anchored in the US-Japan alliance, I no longer think we can fully rely on it. So the lesson from this summit is that we should broadly pursue alliances with other countries as well. And that's exactly what they're doing with Iran. You have Canada strengthening its Arctic defense ties with Nordic countries as trust in the US weakens under Trump's threats to seize Greenland and annex Canada.

00:04:17

And just watching how pathetic Donald Trump looked in front of Xi Jinping— that's not a quarterback, that's not a general, that's not a leader. That is some weirdo follower bizarre behavior. Oh my God. Donald Trump acted the way he has people in his regime act at those cabinet meetings towards him. That's how Donald Trump acted for Xi Jinping. The United States of America bowing down to the leader of China in that way, throwing away the relationship with Taiwan, getting nothing, giving everything. It was the most pathetic trip in American foreign policy history. We're learning that Canada expanding its military cooperation with Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, while helping Greenland develop a local ranger force modeled on Canada's Arctic Rangers. Special forces in Greenland being trained to block a Trump invasion. That is where we are. The US destroying its relationship with NATO while the BRICS nations— Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and the other nations like Iran strengthening their ties in New Delhi, India, while Donald Trump be clowning himself and be clowning the United States in Beijing. But the European Union is out there helping Ukraine, helping, uh, Zelensky. Zelensky's helping the European Union.

00:05:48

It goes both ways. If anything, one can make an argument that Zelensky's helping Europe more than Europe is helping him. Although, look, let's face it, the loans and the money Ukraine needs that in order to build its drone interceptors and its drone technology and its unmanned vessels. But Ukraine's technological innovation is first rate, first class, best in the world right now. The European Union now set to approve the terms of a €90 billion Ukraine loan next week, clearing the way for the first €9 billion payout in June. The money would fund €5.9 billion in drones and €3.2 billion in budget support, including soldier salaries. The loan agreed in December is backed by joint EU debt after plans to use frozen Russian assets stalled. Half the funds will be distributed in 2026, with the rest in 2027. Ukraine still faces a €135 billion budget gap, and EU officials warn more support may be needed if the war continues into next year. And it does indeed seem like that's going to be the case. So what's the perspective, though, from Ukraine on what Donald Trump did in China? I'm glad you asked. Ilya Pomeranko of the Kyiv Independent says, I love it.

00:07:08

He's being sarcastic. I love it. The People's Republic of China, the PRC, hasn't even invaded yet. And Trump is already saying Taiwan has itself to blame for wanting democratic freedom and independence from such a, quote, very, very powerful big country. Oh, and Taiwan apparently stole something from him again. So Emperor Xi should just go ahead and take the world's premier microchip manufacturing hub. Remember Donald Trump's like, Taiwan, they stole the chips from me. They stole it from me. And Taiwan would never even exist if it wasn't for stupid past presidents who allowed Taiwan to steal from me. Dude, what are you talking about? You moron, you idiot, you vile piece of trash, you. Ilya Pomerantsev goes on to say, it goes without saying that just as Ukraine and Taiwan have already heard it, The Baltic States, Poland, South Korea, and Japan will hear the very same message of betrayal if their hour ever comes. And pause. Poland just heard it. Donald Trump withdrawing 4,000, 5,000 troops heading for deployment in Poland. Why? Because even though it's a model ally, it's on the eastern flank. It's close to Ukraine. It's close to Russia. That's how Donald Trump's helping Putin, in my opinion.

00:08:30

As Pomeranzko says, this man Trump is capable of nothing beyond childish admiration for dictators, cheap, empty rhetoric, self-obsession, and lining his own pockets. But that does not mean the rest of us must, must be inside, must sink together within that madness. And it goes without saying that we don't need to do that. Also, you had Senator Tom Tillis. I'm not going to read the whole statement here. Republican from, uh, Republican from North Carolina calling out Donald Trump for withdrawing 4,000 troops from Poland and allegedly sidelining General Chris Donahue, one of the nation's finest warfighters, by downgrading US Army Europe Africa to a 3-star command. In other words, Trump's taking the US Army in Europe Africa command and basically saying, eh, we don't really need that anymore. So the top generals there would be downgraded as well. And it's like, what do you mean we don't need top command in Europe? That's Donald Trump helping Putin, in my opinion. And by the way, Iran's foreign minister, MB Ghalibaf— not foreign minister, uh, speaker of their parliament. Foreign minister is Zaraki. Their speaker of the parliament, MB Ghalibaf, here's what he posted: The world stands at the cusp of a new order.

00:09:53

As President Xi said, the transformation unseen in a century is accelerating across the globe, and I emphasize that the Iranian nation's 70-day resistance has accelerated this transformation. The future belongs to the Global South. See that language? Each word very, uh, specifically picked out and coordinated. All of this is planned. Donald Trump wings it. He wakes up, he posts stupid social media stuff. Weird AI images about golden ballrooms and reflecting pools, where other nations are going to work and they're serious. They have a sense of purpose of what they want— reducing the hegemonic power of the United States, eliminating it as the top power, allowing China to restructure the geopolitical architecture. That's what went down while Donald Trump was out there treating Xi Jinping like his king. The global architecture has shifted, ladies and gentlemen. Foreign Minister Araghchi visited China right before Donald Trump showed up a week before. Guess who's going to be visiting China a week after on May 19th? Welcome Vladimir Putin to meet with Xi Jinping in Beijing. So you see Iran met first, then you have Trump's visit, then you have Putin's visit. That's what's going on there. And you have Foreign Minister Araghchi working with Xi Jinping and coordinating a lot of those statements that were made.

00:11:23

And Bigalabaf reiterating it right there. And then the Iranian foreign minister, he's going to work. He's at the BRICS meeting. He's on the sidelines speaking with this country, India, Thailand, Philippines. He's speaking with Azerbaijan, country after country. You know, he's putting in the work. He's speaking at the— we're putting in the work here. Meanwhile, you have Taiwan's foreign minister spokesperson had to come out with an urgent statement after Donald Trump said, why would we want to help an island, a small island 9,500 miles away next to a big powerful country like China? Why would we want to help them and give them any weapons? Like, why would we do that? Donald Trump, uh, speaking with Xi Jinping about weapon systems to Taiwan, violating American policy. And then showing utter weakness and now holding it over Taiwan's head that he may not authorize weapon systems to Taiwan. Here's what Taiwan's foreign minister had to say. Here, play this clip.

00:12:21

Who cherish freedom and democracy. We want to emphasize that the Republic of China is a sovereign and independent democratic country. Beijing has no right to make claims over Taiwan. We also thank President Trump for his continued support for security in the Taiwan Strait since his first term.

00:12:41

I want to put this on all of your radars as well. Well, first, let me show you this. Germany's Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, he gave a recent speech. And he said, I'm a big admirer of America. My admiration is not increasing, though, at the moment. Today, I would not recommend my children move to the USA to study or work there simply because a social climate has suddenly developed there. That's one way of putting it. And then you have this meeting with Germany's former chancellor and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who talked about how 70% of Germans now consider the United States as an adversary. And then he goes, I remember, Chancellor— the former chancellor of Germany— when we were together at the G7, I remember President Biden was sitting with with President Macron, and Biden said America's back, and Macron said, for how long? For how long? Uh, it's a, it's a good point. Um, finally, here's what I wanted to point out. You have Wes Streeting, senior member of the Labor Party there in the UK. He's going to put in his hat for leadership there if Keir Starmer resigns. There's lots of reporting that Keir Starmer probably will resign in in the next few weeks.

00:14:02

Whether that's true, we'll wait to see. But Wes Streeting, people say he's one of the people who may be in line to become the Prime Minister, and he'll put his name into the leadership battle. We'll see. And here's what he has to say: Britain's future lies with Europe, and one day, one day, we will be back in the European Union. He said that he would enter any potential Labor leadership contest as he set out his beliefs in his first his major public speech. And he says leaving the European Union was a catastrophic mistake. And we saw that European Union meeting in Yerevan, Armenia, with all of the European political community members, and Canada was there as well. We saw a big Bucharest Nine meeting that just took place. You saw the BRICS meeting take place. You saw the conference in Turkey with the Gulf States that took place recently. And while all that's taking place, you have Donald Trump going to China, Xi Jinping, and Trump acting like a Xi Jinping fanboy. So weird. Let me know what you all think. Hit subscribe.
