Geopolitics with Ghost: Trump-Erdogan Summit, F35s, Netanyahu's Meltdown, Colombia's Election Heist -7/7/26

from Badlands Media · host Badlands Media

Ghost dives into a jam-packed NATO summit in Ankara, where Trump shows up dressed like he's attending NATO's funeral (his words, basically) and proceeds to cozy up to Erdogan over F35 jets, lifted sanctions, and some very pointed remarks about allies who didn't show up when it mattered. Meanwhile Netanyahu is not thrilled, Macron can't seem to take his sunglasses off after a bombing in Damascus, and Giorgia Meloni finds herself an unlikely folk hero across Italy's entire political spectrum. Then the show pivots hard into Colombia, where Gustavo Petro is naming names, accusing an Israeli intelligence firm of rigging the election, and calling for nationwide protests on July 20th. It is geopolitics at its most soap opera. Expect maps, government structure breakdowns, a few conspiracy-adjacent detours, and Ghost's trademark habit of reading the room better than most of the leaders he covers.
