Growing Crises in Europe and the Middle East Are Reshaping Global Security
Transcript
Automated transcript · uncorrectedSunday morning. A lot of things happening in the world. Spain, Iran, Lebanon, Jummas, Hezbollah, well, and even the hoodies. Well, what is today is Brigadier General Blaine Halt and he is one knowledgeable guy and he was the number two guy to add most of Riti’s when they ran NATO. And well, you got your ears to the ground. Where do you want to start
this Sunday morning.
I think Spain is a very unexpected development. You’ve got the Moroccan government John essentially taking dump trucks full of refugees and dumping them into Sweta, which is an enclave of the Spanish government. And it is These are not families looking for asylum. These are fighting aged men and they are tearing up the town as they’re flooding.
In military age men. I haven’t seen any women on the videos. And what happens when they get hungry. I had my friend who’s a resident of Spain. He says, they’re burning cars, they’re taking over homes. Who’s going to protect the people in their homes if there’s no police force to.
Protect them, there’s not.
The sheer numbers are overwhelming. It looks to me I’d be shocked if this enclave stays.
In Spanish hands at all. And you have.
Sanchez, the leader of Spain, who’s just wringing his hands because this guy has cared more about net zero and carbon and the five hundred thousand illegal migrants that he’s welcomed into his country and given immediate citizenship to. While he’s been doing that, he’s finding out that Spanish territory is being eaten up, and it’s the control of the
Straits of Gibraltar are now going to be a question.
Had it’s something where we have a problem with the Straits of Hermus, then you might have a problem with the Straits of Gibraltar. I mean, do you think that’s what the angle is.
It’s possible, But what I see is the classic of You’ve got the Moroccans, who have really never had a great relationship with Spain that have just watched it get more and more vulnerable to these globalist Marxist policies, and as they’ve weakened themselves internally, they have decided they’re taken over and they’re probably going to seize this land and
anything that was an enclave of Spain on the northern coast of Morocco is going to be in Moroccan hands. I don’t know where that’s going to put Morocco with the United States diplomatically, but it’s not a welcome development at all.
Understood, Well, let’s go back to Iran and our friends Humas. We think we signed a peace agreement.
What do you think, Well, we think we signed a peace agreement. Let’s see how the board of Peace initiative translates into a full disarmament on the ground in Gaza Hamas bloodthirsty killers? Do they just repeat the pattern of entrenching themselves and going back on what they say they’re going to do. I assume that’s what they’ll try to do.
But I also know that President Trump is he’s got a lot of political capital in the Middle East right now, and he would not have been making these announcements had he not had a plan B, C, and D for whatever Hamas has in store now.
And has Bella. I mean, between the country of Lebanon that wants to take action and the Israelis, you think that they can handle it?
Definitely? Can they handle it?
I think they’re going to have a new ally on that fight. The remarkable contact that’s happened from President Trump’s diplomacy between President Ayun and Prime Minister net and Yahoo.
It’s a foothold.
This is something we haven’t seen in decades and decades. Lebanon wants has blogged gone just as much as Israel does. But if they squeeze has blogged together at a moment when essentially Secretary of Descent has cut out all the money laundering and bankrupted them, the Iraqis are playing ball in bankrupting them, then you have orphaned terrorists that have
nowhere to go. And so I like the arc that this is on. But it does lead to the strategic goal of the Abraham Accords, and I think we could all get behind that.
Now the hoodies. Is that going to be the mission of the Saudi Arabians?
Yes, and they will take that on with great zeal.
Since the Hooties have already laid incredible damage into infrastructure in the south of Saudi Arabia.
Audi Arabia is trained up for this mission. And I think that, you know, out.
Of respect for President Trump’s leadership in the region, they’ve been waiting for the green light.
Well they’re getting that now.
And uh, and let’s not forget the United States Navy also has a formidable regional force right there. And I think the the reason the Hooties are doing this is because of the same reasons they’re they’re orphaned, there’s nowhere to go, and the the people of Yemen who want their country back, they’re looking at the Hooties as a parasite, saying,
I think these guys are getting weak, maybe we could take them, and so there’s no way out, but probably shooting your way out of it.
And that means that that that.
They’re probably going to be another UH proxy that’s exterminated on the battlefield.
So bottom line, how long is it going to take to get out of this mess you have? You’re just your opinion.
Yeah, my opinion is I think this whole Middle East looks a lot better in a month or two UH and then just better and better every month thereafter. I think everything’s still anchors in on what’s happening in Iran and to the fact that the IRGC is going into combat in capability, and then we would see a revolution
come on that’ll send the signal to these three terrorist groups that it’s probably over. And the most important thing, of course for our domestic security is that you want to see these terror cells demoralized before they take some desperate action.
Well, thank you for coming on this Sunday morning, and thank you for everything you do for the American people. And you fought real hard during your when you were in the well you brigadier general, you were in NATO, and you continue to fight for America. Thank you so much.
Can thank you enough
