GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY: Why Trump Is Ignoring The UN & Going It Alone

The "Black Ships" are back on the horizon! 🚢💨 Today on Wake Up America, Austin Petersen breaks down the massive U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran and the immediate civilizational fallout shattering the Western alliance. From Spain ejecting American aircraft to Keir Starmer’s "Iraq PTSD," we explore why the era of instant allied obedience is officially over. Is America going it alone? Or is the "Man in the Arena" finally identifying who our true friends are? We dive deep into the 1853 history of Commodore Perry and how it explains Donald Trump’s 2026 playbook. 🔥 IN THIS EPISODE: 🗽 A1: AMERICA GOES IT ALONE – The Atlantic rift is here. We break down the "conditional ally" era, Spain’s betrayal, and why the U.S. Constitution—not a UN subcommittee—is the ultimate standard for American action. 🚢 A2: THE BLACK SHIPS RETURN – A cinematic look at Commodore Matthew Perry’s 1853 mission to Japan and how Trump is using "Gunboat Diplomacy" to force China and Russia into a total retreat in the Middle East. ⚖️ B1: JUDGE NAP VS. THE STATE – Judge Andrew Napolitano joins the show for a high-stakes clash. Is the Iran strike a "War of Choice" or a vital shield? We stress-test the Constitution against the reality of a nuclear-armed rogue state. 🤠 B2: SOUTHERN SHADE – We’re putting the cowards in their place! Using 11 classic Southern phrases, we tell our "precious" allies exactly what we think of their restraint. ☕ SUPPORT THE SHOW & GET PLUGGED IN: ☕ WAKE UP WITH FREEDOM: Get your Founding Flavors Coffee and start your morning with the smell of liberty!
