Iran Deal or Theater? Trump, Israel & the Global Oil Crisis | Russia’s Next Move

Is the rift between the Trump/Vance ticket and Israel just political theater, or a genuine conflict of vital US interests? In this episode, we dive into the meltdown of the Israel lobby, the looming threat of an economic catastrophe if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, and Trump's erratic back-and-forth on the Iran deal. Later, we shift to the war in Eastern Europe: Are European leaders living in a fantasy world regarding Russia? We discuss Ukraine's drone strikes, Russia's steady advances in the Donbass, NATO's dangerous provocations, and Zelensky’s wild new threats against Belarus.Timestamps:00:00 - Intro: Trump, Vance, and Israel03:23 - A True Conflict of Interest: The US vs. The Israel Lobby08:06 - The Pro-Israel Meltdown & Trump's Erratic Threats16:09 - State of the Iran Negotiations & Lebanon21:07 - Could Israel Sabotage Middle East Oil Infrastructure?26:41 - The Strait of Hormuz: Approaching a Global Economic Crisis32:29 - Miriam Adelson Backlash: "You Betrayed Us"39:33 - Inside Israel's Hardening Military Doctrine48:39 - Russia vs. NATO: Are European Leaders Delusional?52:00 - Russia's Slow But Steady Advance in the Donbass59:20 - Putin's Strategy of NATO Exhaustion1:02:25 - Is NATO Trying to Trap Russia into a Wider War?1:08:56 - Zelensky Threatens to Attack BelarusGo 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
