Trump has unveiled a 20-point Gaza Peace Plan alongside Netanyahu — but will it actually lead to peace, or is it just political theater?

While the world watched other conflicts, Thailand and Cambodia went to war in July 2025. In just days, over 200,000 civilians were displaced, temples were bombed, soap operas were banned, and accusations of chemical weapons and war crimes were thrown around. Yet coverage in the West was almost nonexistent. In this episode of Bro History, we break down how an ancient temple, nationalist politics, and decades-old colonial borders triggered a five-day modern war — complete with fighter jets, landmines, propaganda battles, and a fragile ceasefire that solved nothing.

Yes, there’s a real place in Ohio called Hitler Pond — and no, it’s not what you think. On today's episode, we dive deep into the strange but true story of the Ohio Hitlers — a German-American pioneer family with zero connection to the Nazis — and how World War I triggered one of the ugliest backlashes against immigrants in U.S. history. From lynchings in the name of “patriotism” to German language bans and Beethoven getting canceled, we explore the dark side of American nativism and what it reveals about identity, propaganda, and assimilation. We even trace how these events may have influenced Adolf Hitler’s obsession with race, immigration, and “living space.” Links to our other stuff on the interwebs: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@BroHistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://brohistory.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ #334 Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we explore one of the wildest what-if scenarios in modern geopolitics: a potential Israeli preemptive attack on Pakistan’s nuclear facilities. We dig into what such an operation would require, why it’s almost certainly a fantasy, and what the fallout could look like if it ever happened. We also unpack Israel’s past preemptive strikes on Iraq (1981) and Syria (2007), the logic of nuclear deterrence, covert sabotage efforts, Indo-Israeli security ties, and why this bizarre scenario keeps popping up in strategic circles.

Japan’s former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated in broad daylight with a homemade shotgun. But the real story? It wasn’t political extremism. It was personal. In this episode, we break down how Japan’s most influential modern leader was killed by a man with a vendetta against a powerful religious group—the Unification Church. We explore Japan’s eerie history of political assassinations, the cult's strange ties to government, and how loneliness and disillusionment are reshaping modern societies. This is the wildest story you've never heard—all 100% true.
