Despite media silence, Russian advances are accelerating, the air war has intensified, and a recent assassination attempt on a Russian negotiator proves Kiev is doubling down on a war their own soldiers no longer want to fight.Topics Discussed:Iran & Israel: The failed ultimatum and the risk of a "Samson Option" nuclear strike.US Empire: The danger of US warships in the Gulf and the loss of global standing.Nuclear Treaties: The expiration of START and the normalization of the apocalypse.Russia & Ukraine: The acceleration of the Russian advance and the tragedy of forced conscription.🏛 Go 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/amongtheruins🎧 Listen & Watch:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3DJ12khDdM6t7o9AaktLu8?si=bd495e12062546fbPodcast YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@among_the_ruins📱 Socials:-X (Twitter): https://x.com/RuinsReport-Instagram: https://instagram.com/conversationsamongtheruins-TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@amongtheruins
