Gaza Settlement Plans | Russia Sanction Escalate | Europe in Crisis

In today’s episode, Charlie and Peter dive deep into the latest Middle East developments, focusing on the Israel-Palestine ceasefire, dynamics within the Trump and Netanyahu administrations, and growing concerns about ethnic cleansing and settlements in Gaza and the West Bank. We also analyze Iran’s role and risks of wider conflict in the region. Shifting to Europe, we break down major updates in the Russia-Ukraine war, including Trump’s canceled meeting with Putin, the impact of new US and EU sanctions on Russian oil, and escalating tensions. We discuss the severe effects of these sanctions on Europe’s economy, skyrocketing energy prices, and signs of deindustrialization — like massive layoffs in Germany’s auto industry. The conversation turns to the Dutch seizure of a Chinese chip company, China’s retaliation, and the implications for the European tech sector. We explore why European leaders follow Washington’s lead and public frustration with the political elite. Finally, we tackle the looming US debt crisis, persistent government dysfunction, and what this might mean for America’s global role, potential economic collapse, and the risk of wider wars with Russia or Iran.
