US Troops JUMP Ship! Trump LOSING! w/Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson

This video features Sabrina Salvati in conversation with Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, who discusses the escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the perceived decline of U.S. influence under Donald Trump.

Key takeaways from the discussion include:

• Iran's Strategic Position: Colonel Wilkerson argues that Iran and Oman effectively control the Strait of Hormuz (9:31-10:29). He asserts that the U.S. military presence in the region is largely ineffective and that Iran is prepared to maintain its blockade until 2029 unless its demands are met (14:38-15:16).
• The State of the U.S. Military: The conversation covers severe morale and health issues aboard the USS Lincoln, where sailors have been at sea for over 250 days without port calls, leading to reports of suicide attempts and poor living conditions (37:36-39:26).
• U.S. Foreign Policy and Israel: Wilkerson criticizes the Trump administration's approach to the region, suggesting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu holds significant leverage over Trump and may potentially resort to extreme measures, including nuclear weapons, due to desperation (3:15-8:16, 20:23-21:15).
• The New Global Order: The discussion highlights a shift in power where regional states are increasingly turning away from the U.S. toward alternatives, forming new defense pacts and accepting the current realities on the ground in the Middle East (23:39-27:20).
• The Ukraine Context: Wilkerson warns that the war in Ukraine has unintentionally strengthened Russia into a formidable military power, and that the West's continued involvement may lead to direct conflict between Russia and NATO (52:25-53:50)
