This week, a fragile ceasefire in Gaza offers a glimmer of hope after two years of devastating conflict. But as President Trump brokers peace in the Middle East, a new and powerful 'axis of power' between Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea is changing the face of global conflict forever.


Episode Highlights
  • The Gaza Ceasefire: We break down the secret diplomacy and high-stakes pressure from the Trump administration that led to the Israel-Hamas deal. We also look at the fragile reality on the ground, where a multinational force is overseeing a complex hostage exchange under incredibly tense conditions.
  • Escalation in Ukraine: The Trump administration is considering a dramatic policy shift by supplying Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles, a move that could allow Kyiv to strike deep into Russian territory. Meanwhile, Ukraine's own drone campaign is successfully crippling up to 38% of Russia's oil refining capacity, impacting its economy and war effort.
  • The New Axis: We explore the deepening military and economic alignment between Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. Learn how China is supplying 80% of the critical electronics for Russia's drones , North Korea is providing 40% of its artillery shells , and Iran is exporting its drone technology across the globe.
  • Venezuela's Failed Offer: Discover the details of a secret, months-long negotiation where Venezuela's President Maduro offered the Trump administration a dominant stake in the country's oil and mineral wealth in a desperate bid for legitimacy.
