Geopolitics with Ghost Ep. 118: Assassination Plots, NATO's Turkey Pivot, Ukraine's Dark Side - 7/10/26

Ghost tackles the week's biggest headline first: reports that Israel warned the US of a fresh Iranian plot to kill Trump, and why Ghost thinks that story deserves a heavy dose of skepticism (and maybe a raised eyebrow at who actually benefits). From there it's a full lap around the map. Ukraine strikes a Turkish-linked gas pipeline, Trump pulls Syria off the state sponsor of terrorism list, and NATO's Ankara summit exposes just how much the alliance's center of gravity may be sliding toward Turkey. Spain gets threatened with a trade freeze and then walks it back within a day. Erdogan hands out engraved revolvers like party favors. And things get genuinely strange with a Monaco car bombing tied to Ukrainian intelligence, a dead suspect, and a tangled money trail that Ghost can't quite stop pulling on. Buckle up.
