00:00Trump also signed an executive order that mandated a process to develop an
00:06American Iron Dome. Sean, just reading between the lines here, is he concerned
00:12about America's safety? We also heard from Iran's foreign minister today, he
00:19was speaking to Sky News. Are all of these comments something that Trump
00:25wants to make sure America is very safe? It's a fascinating seeing where
00:32President Trump is taking this, but it's not unique in the United Kingdom with
00:36the same concerns. For the last, sort of ever since the fall of the Soviet Union,
00:41the Cold War ended, and for the last three and a half decades, largely the West has
00:46been involved in wars of choice, expeditionary warfare going away, and we
00:50haven't felt threatened on our main bases. Now, all of a sudden, with Russia's
00:56illegal invasion of Ukraine, all of a sudden now, every nation is looking, have
01:01we actually got our defences sorted out? We are potentially facing wars of
01:06national survival.
