6-24-24: Terrorist Attacks in Russia; Israel Moving Against Hezbollah; WWIII More Likely

Over the weekend, there were two attacks in Russia, one in Dagestan and one in Crimea. The Dagestan attack targeted Orthodox churches and a synagogue, and the attackers were likely local jihadists. The attack in Crimea involved missiles fired by the US, with one missile exploding over a beach and causing civilian casualties. The US has denied involvement, but Russia blames the US for the attack. The situation has escalated tensions between Russia and the West, with Russia vowing to respond. The conversation discusses the possibility of Israel using nuclear weapons in a potential war with Hezbollah in Lebanon. It is suggested that Israel may feel pressured to use nuclear weapons if they believe they are losing the war. The conversation also highlights the depleted stockpiles and limited capabilities of the US military, raising concerns about its ability to wage a real war. The lack of serious-mindedness and understanding of the consequences of conflict in the current political and media establishment is also noted. The conversation concludes with the acknowledgement that the situation in the Middle East is becoming increasingly dangerous and the likelihood of a wider conflict and the use of nuclear weapons is growing.
