Trump Faces Military Base Backlash From Global Allies

We're hearing from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and Bahrain and Jordan and Iraq and other

“Arab nations saying the United States military bases in our Arab nations.”

Right now is a massive liability. Donald Trump is erratic. Donald Trump doesn't consult us before he and Netanyahu engage in war crimes, get the hell out of here. And these Arab world leaders, they are leaking to the Washington Post and others to talk about what is going on.

So here's the latest from the Washington Post. Let's talk about that. Then I want to talk about what Donald Trump is doing. I want to talk about how Iran is moving in and swooping in. As the United States is being pushed out.

Now the United States is basically relegated to a small base on Diego Garcia, which is 2000

miles away from the Middle East at this point because the U.S. has gotten kicked out of mostly every other military base other than Israel. So this is what we're learning from the Washington Post article. And this is what we've been reporting on now for weeks and months at the Midas Touch Network. Gulf allies are growing that they've grown.

I hope it frustrated with Trump's handling of the Iran War, viewing U.S. policy under Donald Trump as erratic and ineffective Saudi Arabia, the UAE Qatar Kuwait, Bahrain, while they remain dependent on the U.S. security support based on prior arrangements. They want the U.S. to get the hell out. Now, Senkham Commander, Brad Cooper also just went to visit all of these Middle East countries

“to basically beg them. Can we please keep a presence?”

We still need to keep our military bases over here and we're also seeing right now what happens

when the U.S. has basically been kicked off these military bases.

I mean, it's been both a Arab nation saying get the hell out. But also the United States military bases don't have the Patriot Interceptors, the Thad Interceptors, or other radar or defense capabilities to stop the Iranian strikes. I mean, the Iran strikes that Bahrain's fifth fleet is one of the main reasons why food and other items aren't making their way to the U.S.

Abraham Lincoln in the U.S. has forged W Bush. I mean, similarly, you're talking about Fugera, the Basin United Arab Emirates, and other bases in that, how you did by Qatar. I mean, these were bases that used to be used by the United States in order to provide, uh, the just one. It was, uh, important bases, you know, for the United States security umbrella in the region, but these were bases

where logistical, uh, supply routes and logistical supplies were provided to the supercarriers and to the ships and to, uh, uh, other American, uh, interest in the region more generally. Let's take a look at, uh, what they're saying right now and the Washington Post and let's take a look at what sent comes doing. Um, frustration with Washington growing in the Persian Gulf region, U.S. allies increasingly concerned that Donald Trump is unable to manage diplomacy necessary to

secure peace with the run. And he's incapable of even doing a deal. We knew that that he's incapable of doing a deal. It goes on to say that there are multiple top level officials and former diplomats, they're speaking to the United States. We're talking about Saudi Arabia. We're talking about UAE. We're talking about Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, also, though not mentioned in here. We're talking about Iraq. We're talking about, uh, Jordan. We're talking about other Middle East nations,

as well, viewing the United States as just completely and utterly erratic and they've begun debating

“why the hell should the U.S. continue to have any type of presence here in the future?”

As we reported on the Midas Touch Network, this has also created an opening for Beijing. China has already had a presence there, uh, but increasingly these Middle East nations look to China, China's foreign minister is Wang Yi, and you, of course, you have Xi Jinping. And in China, they're saying, well, we can be helpful. Why don't you buy our weapons? Why don't you buy our infrastructure? Why don't we do energy deals together while the U.S. power wanes in the area?

Significantly, this also comes at the same time where we've talked about the mechapak with Saudi Arabian Pakistan already in an alliance, right? Uh, Sunni alliance, and then you bring in Turkey, as well into the Sunni alliance, and you've got in Pakistan, a nuclear power, uh, in Turkey, you've got a very, uh, large military, and then, of course, you have Saudi Arabia, uh, you know, energy rich nation, these three nations, uh, also viewing the mechapak as a framework.

This is what Erdogan president of Turkey said. This is a framework for our new NATO in the region,

and that this is basically going to replace the U.S. security umbrella. I think we can expect Egypt to

shocked if we have Qatar joining soon. And this is at the time where, you know, even like United Arab Emirates is like, where's our place in all of this because the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain

previously entered into the Abraham Accords with Israel during Donald Trump's first term,

believing that would provide the security umbrella, U.S. Israel and them, and that's actually proven to be a, uh, negative for them, and has made them even a bigger target. This past week, we've been covering on the mightest touch network, how there were some flights that took place from UAE into Iran, and it looked like it was a plane that would normally bring with it. Something like either money or resources or some high level interaction was taking place.

We were able to track on the satellite footage and the air traffic footage. These planes

“going from the UAE to Iran, I think that that is indeed notable right now.”

This Washington Post article sites, lots of top officials is basically saying, look, even before

some of the latest Donald Trump threatening Iran and going back to war, you know, we were always

in war and then saying, I did a deal. I did a deal. It's not a deal. I did a deal. They were fed up already with the Trump regime, but now it's just like we need you to get the hell out of here. So you have that going on. Now you have sent come, uh, their commander, Brad Cooper, Admiral Brad Cooper, who's just been absolutely awful from a messaging standpoint. The guy has turned sent come into like a derange mega account. When you read the social media posts from sent come, it's like his

Donald Trump writing these posts, what the hell? You know, and I think as a patriotic American, you got to call it out, calling out sent come doesn't make us less patriotic when sent come

“betrays its core mission and its core values. You're like, what the hell are they even doing?”

And they're looking competent and it's like, we control the straightive removes everybody used the Southern Omon route. It's open. It's like, no, it's not. You sound like Trump. You sound like crazy. What are you even talking about Brad Cooper and sent come? Then of course, you know, all the logistical issues with the super carriers that might as touch network has consistently been our reporting about. But anyway, sent come made this announcement. So you have that article

from the Washington Post. But if you've been following the might as touch network, you know, we've been closely tracking the Middle East nations, saying to the Trump regime, get out, we're blocking you or blocking our bases to ever be used by you, at least as it relates to Iran, get the hell out. And now the United States relegated to this Diego Garcia, smaller base, 2000 miles away. So hard to bring supplies. So then the sent come commander, he's frantic.

The U.S. is frantic because now they're like, come on, please, we need to stay. Let us stay.

“Don't pick China over us. Pick me. Pick me. All right. That's what they've, that's what we've”

been reduced to at this point. So this is the post from sent come. Sent come commander completes 10 day trip to the Middle East. Now, what one of the things I noticed on the sent come post, and this is what I mean, that their communications strategy is just so damn awful. And their behavior, frankly, has been really horrific. And so sent come originally released an image, a map depicting Gaza and the West Bank as Israeli territory when it showed a map of the Middle

East. And it showed the areas that sent comes commander Brad Cooper went. And then two hours after posting it, they then edited it, but the damage was done. And it was too late because it showed what the intentions were all along. And for Middle East nations who are concerned and deeply worried about aiding and abetting the genocide in Palestine, having Brad Cooper post an image of a map that wipes out the West Bank and wipes out Gaza on a social media post. I could tell you did

more damage in terms of, you know, trying to reach to trying to convince Saudi Arabia and other Middle East countries to work with them than the trip itself actually did. And then they edited two hours later, as though nobody was going to see, as this one account says, this is the plan, which Arab kingdoms back, uh, sent come removes Palestine and gives it all to Israel. And then two hours later, they edit it and they show the West Bank, but then they don't show Gaza as being

its own sovereign territory. Here's what Brad Cooper post. The commander of U.S. Central Command

completed a 10-day trip to the Middle East on August 15th, that included visits to six countries and to a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier operating in the Arabian Sea. Oh, nice of you to finally go to the aircraft carrier, Brad Cooper. After all, the press bring attention to the fact that

Midas tensioner, because also been reporting, it's not unique to the supercarriers, Abraham Lincoln

“and George H.W. Bush before that, of course, was the Gerald Ford supercarrier. But also the”

other battleships in the area, the other ships in the area, also having horrible conditions.

And the bases had horrible conditions before the U.S. had to basically abandon them,

because one, the conditions were horrible, but two, our service members were living in these containerized, living spaces that look like basically the back of a truck. It's like a truck container. And those would get hit by ballistic missiles and shahy drones. And our service members suffered traumatic brain injuries, to which the Trump regime referred to it as minor injuries. A minor traumatic brain injury is not something that occurs. A traumatic brain injury is traumatic.

Yes, it is. Admiral Brad Cooper met with senior civilian and military leaders in Bahrain, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and spent time with deployed U.S. service members. Also, when Brad Cooper posted the images of his visit,

it seemed that he was at the U.S. S. Abraham Lincoln yesterday, August 15, for the first time,

after all these stories broke, that's when he decided to go to the Abraham Lincoln. While ashore, Cooper recognized exceptional performers, reinlisted troops, and presided over the leadership transition for the combined joint task force. While at sea, Cooper met with sailors and Marines aboard the U.S. S. Abraham Lincoln. For the second time this year, he previously visited the aircraft carrier in February. With U.S. special envoy for peace missions,

Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner. Why the hell is Whitcoff? That should have been red flag number one. Whitcoff and Kushner. These two idiots. They have not been appointed by anybody to hold these positions. These are positions that require Senate confirmation. They're both self-interest did they both have business dealings in the Middle East and both of them should be nowhere neat. They're not diplomats. They don't know what the hell they're doing. And this is one of the

main things that these Middle East nations see. They see these two people who are focused on enriching themselves who are screwing over everybody and in a quest to, you know, it seems like make money for themselves and they've become increasingly viewed by these Middle East countries as one of the main reasons why they can trust the United States of America. You think it's about time you freaking realize that. And it says during Cooper's latest trip he addressed the entire

Lincoln team and thank them for their tremendous dedication and courage. Of course they have dedication and courage. The issue is that you have an erratic commander and chief and erratic would be the nicest thing that you can say about him because it's far worse than that. I mean you've got someone posting means about being a pirate and taking over Iranian ships and then he'll say one day there's a deal and the next day we're going to blow the hell out of him. We're going to destroy

their civilization and then the next day oh we're doing so amazing over here than the next day.

“He says oh our troops should be out there forever. Remember he said on Friday? I want to see”

our troops on the Abraham Lincoln be out there much longer. They haven't been out there long enough. My beautiful blockade dude what are you talking about? The family members of our service members are absolutely living at Donald Trump. They see what an erratic human being he is. His stuff may still play to a small extreme mega base at weird rallies that are increasingly in these really small areas but the people see what the hell is going on right now. And they're like this person and the

windcoves and the cushioners we don't trust them with our family members who are serving our country. We don't trust we know our soldiers and our service members are courageous but we don't have a courageous commander and she we have a five time draft Dodger who cares more about enriching himself and he's demonstrated what a coward he is hiding in a cafeteria container truck with his human printer Natalie Harp and sneaking out in Turkey. And so you have all of this going on you have Israel continuing

to strike Lebanon 11 killed in the latest Israeli strikes in Lebanon which again is a major barrier to ever reaching peace in the region. Israel's national security and minister Ben Gaviri yesterday saying as in salah as quickly as possible as quickly as possible we will enter all of Gaza,

“sell all of Gaza and encourage emigration. I think targeted elimination should be carried out in Gaza”

every night. Take out 30, take out 40 not only those who endanger you at this particular moment.

them even people. There are guys that there are people who say I'm crazy. This guy is crazy. Yes

“you have to be insane in the Middle East. We are in the Middle East. That's Israel's”

national security minister saying that we also know if it's still Gordon says. So Jared Kushner said to be visiting Israel this upcoming week to discuss Gaza but developments on the West Bank may be even more urgent. I had a fall elections these rally government is rapidly advancing new settlements with the goal of encircling Palestinian cities with holding customs revenues to bankrupt the Palestinian Authority, turning a blind eye to settler violence and now the defense minister

says he wants to turn over responsibility for law enforcement over Israeli settlers to the civilian police who have no capacity to protect the population and are over seen by an extremist settler himself. The Jewish supremacist national security minister Ben Gavir now would be a good time for

“Trump to prove his claim that baby will do whatever I want by getting him to reverse course”

for Gordon says because if he doesn't the West Bank could explode as Israel proceeds with the de facto annexation. Trump said he would not allow just further showing the Middle East nations that Donald Trump lies about everything and can't be trusted with a damn thing. Also the Wall Street Journal reporting this weekend we already knew the White House has become increasingly pessimistic in recent weeks about achieving a final nuclear settlement with Tehran. Trump just wants an indefinite

blockade. While we don't have bases in the Middle East anymore really, while our service members have evacuated all of these bases in the Middle East, while we don't have the interceptors in order

to stop Iranian strikes and so all the logistical routes are basically severed other than in

Diego Garcia, which is 2000 miles away. So our service members suffer aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, the USS George H.W. Bush. Now we're bringing in the USS George Washington from the Pacific. Except now we're not going to have any supercarriers at all in the Pacific and now the people on the George Washington are going to experience what's going on in the Persian Gulf because if you don't have the supply chain, if your logistics are completely destroyed, some of the most basic stuff,

you know, we've received lots of messages from the family of female soldiers aboard different ships about the supercarriers and other ships and in bases. The United States is not supplying the

“female service members with feminine hygiene projects. They're not getting essential”

feminine hygiene products that they need right now and, you know, just the basic stuff, not getting, you know, fruits and vegetables and not getting any, you know, the most not getting their mail, not getting the most basic stuff. Meanwhile, you have one of Iran's senior members of Parliament saying the US president ought to worry about his own security rather than his endless bluffing regarding the straight of her moves before he ends up hiding in a food truck and just become an

absolute laughing stock to the world. Iran's general Mohammed Nakti said the following. Not because when it comes to the Trump administration, not only do these people not work for the benefit of humanity, they don't even work for the benefit of the United States of America. They work for their own interest as soon as the stock market closes, they start hostilities, the stock market opens, they send positive messages to racist stock prices, all the while they are buying and selling

the stocks themselves. What are you just told PBS right there? Meanwhile, you have Donald Trump continuing to attack allies. He posted this bizarre photo of himself and Xi Jinping like smiling together and it's an article where the White House accuses 40 countries, including Canada, Japan, Mexico and the EU of helping China evade US tariffs by rerouting and relabelling Chinese

goods. The practice could involve around $60 billion in trade and cost the United States,

tens of billions of dollars, but Donald Trump seems to be praising Xi Jinping for it while attacking our allies for it. And then you have Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson saying the following as well. This passage from Dochef Sches, the brothers, Karamazov, aptly described as the situation, which the US system of governance and foreign policy regarding Iran and the region finds itself in due to its extreme reliance on lies. The man who lies to himself and listens to

his own mind comes to such a past that he cannot distinguish the truth within a more around him.

Trump's posting bizarre, deranged memes of himself and George Washington and AI memes of himself

as a pirate taking over Iranian cargo ships and the Red and the Middle East nation like enough,

“get that out of your get that out of here. And that's why our super carriers aren't getting”

supplies that they need. And it's why we've been relegated to Diego Garcia at this point.

That's what the United States has become. It's happening before our eyes.
