President Donald J. Trump delivered a scathing address to the UN General Assembly on Sept. 23, 2025, declaring, “To the dictators and tyrants in this room: Your time is up.” The speech, described as a defining moment in global politics, framed the ongoing conflict between national sovereignty and globalist ambitions as “The Real War” or “Hybrid World War III.”
Trump’s remarks targeted regimes such as North Korea, Iran, and Venezuela, accusing them of exploiting international systems while condemning the UN’s role in what he termed an “assault on Western countries and their borders.” He rejected globalist policies like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), carbon offsets, and digital IDs, vowing that the U.S. would no longer fund “globalism’s failures.”
The speech drew sharp criticism from UN Secretary General António Guterres, who defended the organization’s role in addressing global challenges. Guterres emphasized the need for unity, citing initiatives like the “Pact for the Future” and the UN80 Initiative. However, Trump’s rhetoric highlighted a stark divide between sovereignty advocates and globalist elites, with the president framing the conflict as a battle over national independence.
Brig Gen (ret) Blaine Holt, a former NATO deputy representative and Newsmax contributor, argues that the speech signals a broader struggle against unelected global institutions. He criticizes the UN’s “dismal record of non-accomplishment” and warns of escalating tensions as nations resist centralized control. The article underscores Trump’s focus on dismantling what it calls “globalist enslavement dreams,” including policies like wealth redistribution and civil rights restrictions.
The piece concludes with a call to action for global citizens to challenge the influence of organizations such as the World Economic Forum and World Health Organization, framing their agendas as threats to individual freedom.
