What was said

"We had talked earlier about how the Trump administration fought the Iran War would basically excise its power from the Eastern Hemisphere. We are seeing that in real time now, and politically, the Trump administration has made the decision that Europe is on its own."

Zeihan confirms the Trump administration has strategically abandoned the Eastern Hemisphere following the Iran conflict, formally leaving Europe without US military backing. This represents the most significant geopolitical realignment since World War II, ending American global force projection established over seven decades.
