Conversations Among The Ruins Trump: Ready for Nuclear War | Ukraine’s Army in Crisis | U.S. Congress Stands With Israel
In today’s episode, we break down a week of dangerous nuclear posturing and unpredictability. Trump’s provocative talk about deploying Ohio-class nuclear submarines in response to Russian rhetoric has sparked fresh fears of escalation between the world’s top nuclear powers. We dissect what’s actually changing, what’s hype, and why Trump’s unpredictability could mean trouble for world security.
Next, we turn to the Ukraine conflict—examining the latest reports from the frontlines. Are Ukrainian defenses finally collapsing? What’s the real situation for ordinary soldiers and what could a shift in battlefield momentum mean for the future of the war?
Finally, we examine U.S.-Israel relations, with Congress members—like Mike Johnson—making highly visible demonstrations of support for Israel at a time when American public opinion and world events make that alliance even more controversial. Are American leaders out of touch, or is this just more political theater? We discuss the implications.
