Rutte claims NATO helped attack Iran as Trump pivots to Ukraine

The Duran: Episode 2553 Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris on The Duran break down the Rutte and Trump meeting ahead of the NATO summit, revealing how the failed Iran war has left both Trump and NATO significantly weakened on the world stage. With 5,000 US air missions flown from European bases and the full NATO alliance still unable to achieve its military objectives against Iran, the uncomfortable truth is that the collective West's greatest military alliance has been exposed as far less powerful than advertised. As a deflated Trump pivots back toward Project Ukraine with renewed pledges of support for Zelensky, is he being maneuvered into exactly the position NATO and the neocons always wanted him in? 00:00:00 Rutte Travels to Meet Trump Ahead of NATO Summit 00:01:22 Trump Diminished After Iran War Failure 00:02:47 America First Agenda Now Dead 00:03:44 What Iran and Ukraine Revealed About NATO Power 00:05:39 Is NATO Spending Theater the Real Goal 00:07:27 The Whole Alliance Was Involved and Still Lost 00:10:33 5,000 US Missions From European Bases 00:13:04 NATO Summit to Push Hard on Project Ukraine 00:17:18 US Returns to Backing Ukraine at UN Security Council 00:20:05 Ukraine Drone Strikes as Performance for Trump ***THE DURAN SHOP*** https://theduranshop.com ***REVERSE GEAR SHOP*** Athleisure with Style https://reversegear.shop/ ***THE DURAN COMMUNITY ON LOCALS*** https://theduran.locals.com Join Now Get 1 Month Free Trial ***OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS*** ALEXANDER: https://www.youtube.com/AlexanderMercourisReal ALEX: https://www.youtube.com/alexchristoforou ***CRYPTO SUPPORT*** BITCOIN: 3JvdnoyWMb93hSRgk58ZstUxg11PW9mKSr ETHEREUM: 0xF39BdFb41f639B82E3D2Bf022828bC6394F533A3 LTC: MGFiMC18ZViF6DcCixMqAAP11TG4tF6Acj EMC2: EXX4KK9pZLx7uiLWnCXtp7iMKjtq6o5b6R ***DONATE*** CREDIT CARD: https://donorbox.org/the-duran SUBSCRIBE STAR: https://subscribestar.com/theduran PATREON: https://patreon.com/theduran ***VIDEO*** RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/theduran ODYSEE: https://odysee.com/@theduran BITCHUTE: https://www.bitchute.com/theduran/ ***AUDIO*** SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3pMrfPD APPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/2H9Hk0a SOUNDCLOUD: https://bit.ly/354ASQ9 ***FREE SPEECH*** TELEGRAM: https://t.me/thedurancom X (Twitter): https://x.com/TheDuranReal?s=20 GAB: https://gab.ai/TheDuran MINDS: https://minds.com/theduran Amazing music contribution from Peter Brown.
