War With Iran Inevitable | True Gaza Death Toll | Ukraine Assassination Plot

In this episode, Peter and Charlie discuss the grim reality of the war in Gaza, analyzing the IDF’s admission of 71,000 direct fatalities and why the true death toll—including indirect deaths—is likely much higher. They pivot to the upcoming meeting between Netanyahu and Trump, exploring whether the US is being maneuvered into a war with Iran and the leverage Israel may hold over the administration. Finally, they cover the assassination attempt on Russian General Alexeyev by Ukrainian intelligence and the normalization of political violence in modern statecraft.Timestamps:00:00 - Intro: Ignoring the Super Bowl for Geopolitics00:39 - IDF admits to 71,000 deaths: The real numbers (Direct vs. Indirect)08:30 - Media Numbing: Is the West erasing the Gaza Genocide?16:52 - Netanyahu meets Trump: Who is actually in charge?24:10 - The push for War with Iran: Israel’s strategy & US Armada29:18 - Donor Class & Blackmail: How policy is bought39:09 - Iran shifts from Defensive to Offensive posture48:13 - Immediate escalation risks: "This is going to blow"54:39 - Assassination attempt on Russian General Alexeyev (SBU Involvement)1:03:12 - "Catastrophic Success": The US adopting IDF tacticsGo Deeper: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/amongtheruinsListen & Watch:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3DJ12khDdM6t7o9AaktLu8?si=bd495e12062546fbTopic Videos & Shorts YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AmongtheRuins-ClipsSocials:X: https://x.com/RuinsReportIG: https://instagram.com/conversationsamongtheruinsTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@amongtheruins
