Geopolitics with Ghost Ep. 44: Fighter Jets, Netanyahu’s Gamble, and Trump’s Middle East Power Plays - October 3, 2025

Ghost takes listeners on a whirlwind tour of global maneuverings, from Trump’s symbolic F22 pin at a meeting with Erdogan to Turkey’s push for F35 deliveries already paid for years ago. He breaks down Erdogan’s parallel energy and nuclear deals, the discovery of a Ukrainian kamikaze drone off Turkey’s coast, and Netanyahu’s forced apology to Qatar after a botched strike.

The episode digs into the behind-the-scenes diplomacy that birthed Trump’s Gaza peace plan, Jared Kushner’s surprising alignment with Arab partners, and the pressure now on Hamas to accept or be crushed. Ghost also connects dots on Israeli influence campaigns in the U.S., Brad Parscale’s registration as a foreign agent, and the billions tied up in Russia, Deripaska, and Congo’s rare earth mineral battles. With historical context, sharp analysis, and a focus on the hidden drivers of world events, this episode reveals the high-stakes power plays shaping today’s geopolitical chessboard.
