In this sprawling live dig, Ghost uncovers the web of pipelines, intelligence alliances, and hidden players shaping the next phase of global power struggles. He starts by tracing the strategic triangle of Moscow, Tehran, and Beijing, explaining how Central Asia’s flat plains and the Trans-Caspian Pipeline became the new battleground for influence.

Pivoting to Azerbaijan, Ghost details how Israeli drones and jets allegedly used Azerbaijani territory to attack Iran during the recent conflict, accusations that Baku denies while maintaining tight military cooperation with Tel Aviv. He explores how the BTC pipeline fuels Israel’s energy needs and how Azerbaijan’s strategic location links the Ukraine war with the Middle East escalation.

The episode also dives into Armenia’s crackdown on Russian-backed billionaires and Orthodox clerics, suggesting echoes of the old Armenian genocide playbook. Ghost rounds out the show exposing the tangled ties between former Ukrainian officials, Gazprom intermediaries, and the US diplomatic corps dating back to the collapse of the Soviet Union. It’s a complex, eye-opening look at how pipeline politics, covert alliances, and energy corridors are merging into a single geopolitical theater.
