In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Welcome, dear viewers, to a new meeting and a reading of the US Secretary of State's article at the Munich Conference on February 14, 2026. A historic speech, a speech of extreme importance. I am proud and happy to be explaining it to you on this channel. Why? Because we need to get out of the small village mentality, what happens on social media, Arab disputes, preoccupation with small issues. Marco Rubio at the Munich Conference. The Munich Conference is one of the most important security conferences in the world. It is an annual conference held in Europe, attended by European and American leaders, and sometimes international leaders, who talk about the course of the world. Forget about the UN meetings; these are highly influential people. It's a conference that summarizes the state of the new world order. Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, attended and delivered a speech that I believe is among the best I have read. I may agree or disagree with it; that's not my issue. But what's important is that it is one of the clearest and strongest things I have read in describing the new world order from the American perspective. I am one of those who continuously follow Trump's speeches. Whenever he speaks in the media, I sit and listen for a while and then he talks. He praises himself, saying, "I am the best person, I am the best in the world." You become confused, not understanding exactly what he wants to say. Marco Rubio has a deep political background, perhaps even more so than JD Vance. The US Vice President, Marco Rubio, is a politician, and not an easy politician. The speech was important, and I want to explain it to you. Again, I am happy and proud to be explaining this speech on this channel, which I call "The Archive." I want it to reach the youth, those who are interested in knowing where the world is heading in the coming period. Listen to this episode if you have time. Well, without taking up too much of your time, let's start talking. The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, at the Munich Conference on February 14, 2026, begins. Look at the beginning. Let's go with the speech. In the beginning, he says to them, "Look, I will tell you the story from the beginning." This is part of the beauty of the speech. He tells them, "We started this conference in 1963. You had just emerged from World War II. Countries were destroyed, half of Germany was divided by the Berlin Wall, and half of you were in communist problems and things like that. And we Americans helped you." So he taunts them at the beginning, and Trump taunts them at the beginning. And we made this alliance. America saved you. And then we also cooperated with each other and defeated the Soviet Union." So he reminds them, with a moment of thought, of the birth of this alliance between America and Europe. And he tells them about our main mistake, our historical mistake. This is one of the most beautiful things I have read in the speech, regardless of whether I agree or disagree with it. He tells them, "The moment of our victory over communism." So, at those moments, America and the West felt that the world owed them. They had defeated the Soviet Union. So they began, of course, he tells you now, "We made a mistake because we adopted an idealistic view of the world. We started spreading liberal democracy and talking about the end of history." These were moments of victory. I followed them very closely and remember writings like "The Clash of Civilizations" and "The End of History" and things like that. I was still a young student, reading this stuff, "Wow," and understanding, and so on. America emerged with a sense of victory, and Europe and the West felt that the world would spread democracy and freedoms and things like that. But of course, part of this spread and globalization was that we would move factories around Europe, outside of Europe and America, and we would live in clean societies with a good environment, and produce using cheap labor in the West. This, of course, was behind exploitative conflicts because he wasn't doing it for the sake of it. He wasn't doing it as a kind of... He felt it was a moment of strength, that he had prevailed, and he started doing these things. Now, Rubio tells them, "No, we made a mistake because not everyone will believe in freedom and democracy." And based on their spreading freedom and democracy, look what happened in the Arab world, and look what happened in Gaza. And he tells them, "We thought the whole world would trade with us on an equal footing." Well, yes, they trade with you on an equal footing. No, he means that the wealth would return to us again. It didn't. And we thought that with liberal visions, international institutions would emerge and rule justly. He doesn't like all of this. So he tells them, "This was a naive speech that said this. It ruined us." Of course, his speech is deceptive because those who gave this speech didn't intend to spread democracy and freedoms in the world and distribute flowers and transfer trade. It was an exploitative method, but wrapped in a beautiful guise. That is, even exploitation today, Egyptians always say, "The golden age of art," "the golden age." That golden age of exploitation has ended. It won't work anymore. So he tells them, "Look again, I felt the speech was very beautiful, one of the clearest descriptions." So he tells them, "When we supported free trade, America and the West were not supporting free trade. It's the idea that you're going to get my money. I produce in America for how much? The worker gets $10, $9. I'll get him in China for 50 cents, 10 cents. So who wins?" So he tells them, "We... Look, every action has a reaction in politics, and sometimes it's not predictable."

He says in the end, "We were surprised that countries abroad supported their industries, and we moved our factories abroad, and millions of jobs were lost, and poverty and the middle class among us no longer have factories." So that's one point. The second point is that we spent time building international institutions, the United Nations, the International Court. That's why Americans never like the European Union. They want to dismantle it, and its institutions restrict us, and its freedoms. What have we done? Where were we living? They thought it was made, again, not to support humanity, of course. There are segments in the West, the liberals who believe in liberalism and freedoms, some of them want to do this themselves. So as not to confuse things with us, because we have a mentality, the populist mentality that is widespread in the entire Arab world. Everything is good, everything is bad. Everything is yes. Tell me, in short, are they good or bad? There's none of that at all. You think about it, and you must have this precision. And at least, youth, I hope this reaches some youth, at least some of them. So he tells them, "We also gave up our sovereignty." What does that mean? We strongly supported international organizations. And he tells them, "You too, some countries have become very nice, supporting your citizens, and you forgot that there are wars and weapons and things like that. So you even abandoned weapons, and you have China, Russia, and the Europeans surprised by Russian power and Chinese power, and they don't know what to do, and the Americans too. And they also focused on trivial issues for Americans like climate and so on. What have you done to yourselves? And you also opened your countries to mass immigration." Of course, they didn't open them. There was a period after the war, sometimes after wars, especially after 2015 in Syria, there were huge waves of migration because several conflicts occurred at the same time. But in the end, take note, Germany, for example, the German Chancellor told them, "Yes, we need these workers. They will help us." A country like Spain opens its doors to immigration regularly, bringing in migrants, many of whom come from Latin America. And they say, "It will strengthen us in the demographic deficit in many Western countries." But look at him, all of this will reflect his thinking. What is the essence of the speech? He wants to rebuild the West as a fortress, and the idea that I must manufacture, wealth must come to me, and we are together. Forget the humanitarian impulse. It's a speech of extreme importance.

So, the second step is defining American national security and the new definition of national security. He tells them, "The matter has become big now. We don't just want to increase our defense capabilities. We want to think." And he tells them, "We don't just want our ties to be money and economy." No, he wants to deepen them greatly. And this reminds us of what we have in the Arab world, and some people reject it. And again, I don't want you to take everything to its extreme meaning. Meaning, I, for one, wish the world had a humanitarian impulse. "Let not hatred of a people incite you to be unjust. Be just; that is nearer to piety." And the best of you is the best in principles and morals, and let us spread peace among the world, like the great heavenly religions, like the great humanitarian principles. But the man tells them something else. He tells them, "Look, our ties must have, for him, a matter of identity. And this might be in our countries too. You know, tie yourself together in a common way and support your culture, but within limits, so we don't turn into xenophobia. It's not about hostility to foreigners, because I reject that. That conflict is not necessary. Religions do not conflict." Put heavenly books next to each other, they won't fight. It's the believers who fight. Meaning, your understanding of religion is not necessarily the issue. Religion itself won't fight, but your understanding of it will. So you must understand religion in a way that doesn't make you fight with others, and in their differences, there is mercy. And we have a lot of understanding. Even our entire Islamic history has different sects, and Christianity and Judaism too. Look at the number of sects they have. Christianity perhaps more than Judaism, and Judaism... I'm not an expert in religions, but let's avoid the ordinary xenophobia. But look, look what he will tell them. He will tell them, "Remember that there is Western civilization." He wants to unite them. He wants to mobilize them with a common identity, a Christian heritage, and a cultural heritage. And they want economic sovereignty. So he tells them, "This is the idea. Let's unite for world sovereignty again."

What does this alliance mean? It means that America and Europe are not just an economic and political alliance, but a civilizational, ideological alliance. And the problem with this talk is that there is a high degree of exclusion, and that's what I fear. If I say, for example, "Well, you have Islamic civilization." Well, we have Christians and different religions in Islamic civilization, and we have different ethnic groups. So, should we oppress these people? No, he, look, he will reach the mentality of the right-wing, which is, "We have a Christian civilization, a common language, a shared heritage, and common sacrifices." And he tells them, "I want you to be proud of your civilizational identity." And of course, again, I will try to respond to this in the end. What is the essence of civilizational identity? And this is where Europeans, by the way, disagree with Americans. If freedoms are the essence, then freedoms are not the essence of Western freedoms? Is it freedoms and tolerance that make me expel immigrants or oppress minorities, or make me welcome them? This is the question that arises. And you find today, at the same conference, a speech after Marco Rubio, the British Prime Minister, who emphasized values. He told them, "Well, we have values of tolerance and pluralism."

The principles upon which we will embark. It is the new world order that we must have a civilization and a common identity, and achieve economic sovereignty. One, two, redefine the roles of international institutions. Forget about it. He even tells you they don't want the European Union. Don't tell me about the role of international institutions and going to stand before courts and bringing a few countries. From his point of view, these small countries will create a consensus. What is this talk? He tells them, "The United Nations will not solve Gaza, nor will it solve Ukraine, nor will it stand before Iran, nor will it stand before Venezuela." Of course, if standing before Iran and Venezuela is even correct from the American perspective, or what they did in Gaza was correct. But he tells you, "We are the ones who can resolve these matters. Don't tell me about international institutions and nonsense like that, and international courts and things. Forget it. Throw it away."

Point three: The system. The most important thing is its employment. Every country must start from itself and become a strong country. Be aware, Europeans are afraid of something. If they fragment themselves as Britain did, they will turn into... What does he want? He wants the rest of the world to serve the West. Don't tell me about moving factories, technology, and money, and then you come and take it. So you have factories and technology, and you compete with me. What will happen? No, I want you to serve me. So Europeans are afraid of what? That Americans, even within Western civilization, want Europeans to serve them. Today, the British Prime Minister gave a speech that I liked very much. He said, "We Europeans, if you combine us, you'll find our economy is large." And of course, the British left the European Union, but today, the current Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, is trying to get closer to the European Union again. And in Britain, Nigel Farage and the Conservative Party, and also Reform, want to move further away from the European Union. The idea is that Europeans are afraid, again, that they will serve America within Western civilization. Chris Starmer told them, "Be aware, we have a lot of weapons, and we have a lot of economy, but our problem is that we are divided, or we are competing with each other." He says, for example, when they had one tank, we have 20 types of tanks. They have two or three types of ships, we have 20, 15. We have planes. And you find the problem. They say they want to develop a specific plane, a French-British production, and they disagree with each other. And they have economies and they are doing things. So he tells them, "Let's unite instead of... crawling towards another power."

So, what does America want? The new world order is based on the nation-state. Every country should be strong, and of course, led by America. And the West should unite as a closed, civilizational, identity-based alliance. Let's return to manufacturing, factories, and wealth to us. Let's secure supply chains, especially rare minerals and things like that. And compete with others. And close the borders. Let's rebuild the Western fortress. And I don't know if it will reach a stage where he says, "And let's expel the others." So, the purge is the elimination of those who are not with us, the minorities and the immigrants. And this is what is happening now, partly. And there is talk of, of course, a huge trend now. Asylum laws are becoming extremely difficult. Immigration laws are becoming extremely difficult. Residency laws are becoming extremely difficult. Rejection of immigrants, closing borders. So this is the main idea.

What does this mean for the world? He is asking Europe to stand firm and forget about clashing. America tells them, "Come, let's build this new alliance and be proud of yourselves again." The problem with this speech is that it is full of challenges for Europeans, at least for European countries. They believe in diversity and freedoms. We saw Britain just recently. The courts in Britain, a court in London. The government wanted to classify an organization called Palestine Action as a terrorist organization. So the Supreme Court said, "No, I feel this classification was not correct." There is still an appeal. But look, this is the role of courts. So, controlling borders, what will it do? Do you want the European Union? Is the European Union a good thing or a bad thing? Should we abolish the European Union?

Let's analyze this. What does it mean for the West? Forget about liberalism and freedoms. These are things for those who weakened us. Let's abolish globalization and economic liberalism. This is not for trade, it's a weapon. Economic matters are not jokes, people. It's not just trade. It's about what you have today. Bring it. There is no such thing as global citizenship and humanity, and talk about these things. Of course, this will have great risks within Europe. Because the American right-wing is supporting certain forces within Europe, so there might be internal conflict within some European countries. We see, for example, even the British government, there are problems. They don't know if the government is stable or not. And this could apply to many countries in the West, in Europe.

What about the Arab world? This is important. America will demand strategic loyalty from everyone. And be aware, they are trying to fragment Europe so that all countries come to serve them. So you will also be asked for the same thing. And we are already weaker. So we don't have it. So be aware, in this new world order, some countries among us, like Saudi Arabia, have made a joint defense agreement with Pakistan. There is talk of rapprochement with Turkey. We will see where it leads. So be aware. If you build a balance, even a little, you will go to serve the system. All countries in the world, especially the third world countries, which have the European Union, and the European Council, and the European Parliament, and so on, and the Europeans are having elections. Americans want to say, "Break this, and come serve." The strategic paper in this world, what will be your position in this fortress that will be built in the West? The economy. And you are now... There was a beautiful article I wanted to explain to you. We used to hear about oil wars. One would say, "No, our presence in the Gulf is a kind of oil protection." And this was like protecting supply chains. But the Iraq War was different. Look at what Trump did in Venezuela. There was an article with a similar meaning, and I wanted to present it to you. It says, "Venezuela. He said, we want Venezuela's oil." He's already... Marco Rubio says the beautiful era is over. So he tells you, "Venezuela is very important today." He tells you, "I want Venezuela's oil. I want this oil. I want these resources."

The Global South, without rights. Don't tell me about their industries, technology, or environment. Forget about it. These people come every day, give us some things, and take some money, and leave. International law, international institutions. Forget it. Of course, the international system is still... dismantling these institutions is not an easy process, and we will see what happens. Because Trump is ultimately in office for three years. We will see what happens. He says there was a climate conference where Democrats presided. It's as if they are going. He says, "Be aware of this man." And be aware, perhaps next November, Democrats will win, and they will curb some of Trump's policies. Immigration is closing its doors.

So, we have reached the end of this article, and I hope it has been useful to you. It is a description that I believe is historic to understand what the new world order that America wants is. Thank you for your attention. Until another meeting, and happy new year to you all. Goodbye.
