The July Oil Shock | Israel Expands in Lebanon | Russia Prepares Strike

In this episode, we dive deep into the converging geopolitical crises threatening to tip the global order. We discuss the illusion of a US-Iran deal, the rapid depletion of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and why energy markets are blindly walking into a massive oil shock in July. We also break down Israel's expanding operations in Lebanon and Gaza, a quiet new bill aiming to fuse the US and Israeli militaries, and the terrifying escalation of AI drone warfare in Ukraine. Finally, we ask: as the era of the global superpower ends, will the US look to Cuba for an "easy win"?Timestamps:00:00 - Intro & Baby News00:36 - US, Iran, & The Illusion of a Deal04:22 - Oil Market Manipulation & Emptying the SPR08:44 - The Coming July Oil Crisis & Demand Destruction13:10 - Hegemon Arrogance & Trump’s "Drift"21:27 - Israel Expands the War into Lebanon26:15 - A Secret Bill to Fuse the US & Israeli Militaries?31:30 - Israel's "Voluntary Migration" Plan for Gaza40:43 - Russia Threatens Kiev Command Centers49:50 - The Shift to AI Drone Warfare in Ukraine53:56 - Are Drones the End of Military Superpowers?1:00:04 - Will the US Target Cuba Next?1:05:02 - Are We Heading Toward WW3?Go 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
