episode Iran War Restart | Likelihood of WW3 | Europe's Drone War cover

Iran War Restart | Likelihood of WW3 | Europe's Drone War

In this episode, we dive deep into the rapidly escalating tensions in the Middle East as indications point toward an imminent US and Israeli kinetic war with Iran. We discuss how this disastrous foreign policy could lead to Gulf States abandoning the US, effectively ending the Petrodollar and US hegemony. We also explore the dangerous unpredictability of Donald Trump, the shifting realities of drone warfare bypassing mass conscription, the total destruction of US soft power over Gaza, and the latest updates on Russia's slow war of attrition in Ukraine.

episode Will the Iran War Restart? | Europe vs Russia | The Truth About Putin cover

Will the Iran War Restart? | Europe vs Russia | The Truth About Putin

In this episode, we break down the shifting balance of global power. We start by analyzing the Trump-Xi meeting and what a resumed US-Israel war with Iran means for global oil prices and American superpower status. Next, we discuss the rising rhetoric of war between Europe and Russia, and why Europe's military is just a paper tiger. Finally, we challenge mainstream narratives by looking at corruption in Ukraine vs. Russia, the controversies surrounding Skripal and Navalny, and debunk the notorious "China Social Credit Score" myth.

China Plays Hardball | Ukraine’s Dark Reality | Russia’s New Weapons

In this episode, we discuss Trump’s China visit, whether Xi Jinping now holds the stronger hand, why China may be done accommodating the United States, and what this means for the emerging multipolar world.We then shift into a long-form discussion of Russia and Ukraine: the Donbas war, Minsk, NATO expansion, the power of Western propaganda, whether Putin’s SMO was a strategic mistake, and why narrative control may have shaped the conflict as much as military power.Finally, we look at Russia’s military technology, including Sarmat, Avangard, Poseidon, and the broader question of what the West is actually trying to achieve in a confrontation with a nuclear superpower.Timestamps:00:00 - Trump's visit to China & Xi Jinping's leverage04:08 - Economic warfare and China playing hardball11:15 - Pivoting to Russia: Overcoming "audience capture"13:28 - The untold history of the Donbas conflict & Minsk Accords21:40 - The Istanbul Agreement & Boris Johnson's interference26:06 - The dark reality of Ukraine today: Corruption & press gangs37:06 - Was Putin's SMO a massive mistake?49:39 - How Russia lost the narrative war to the West54:33 - The problem with Western "Putin obsession"59:21 - Russia’s advanced military tech: Satan 2, Poseidon & Hypersonics1:03:11 - The dangerous hubris of NATO's end goalsGo Deeper:https://ruinsreport.com/Substack: https://conversationsamongtheruins.substack.com/Support the Conversation:Join as a Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW9CSfmP6gEjqtOdGTD_JKw/joinBuy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/amongtheruins

episode Iran War Stalls | Gulf States Rebel | Israel Cornered cover

Iran War Stalls | Gulf States Rebel | Israel Cornered

In this episode, we dive into the chaotic developments in the Middle East, starting with the sudden pause of the US military's "Project Freedom." Are Gulf states like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait actively rebelling by denying the US airspace and base access? We discuss Iran's strategy of economic endurance, the limits of American military supremacy, and whether we are witnessing the real-time collapse of US hegemony. Finally, we explore the intense pressure from Israel to resume the war and the growing demand in Washington to expose Israel's undeclared nuclear program.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
