Geopolitics with Ghost Ep. 126: MBS Under Siege, Houthis Threaten Saudi Oil, UK's Slow Breakup - 9/14/26

Ghost jumps on for a surprise live show and finds a lot to unpack. He opens with Trump's off the cuff comments on Irish unification during his Ireland trip, which somehow snowballs into Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland signing a joint pact toward independence from the UK, something Ghost frames as a genuine win for local sovereignty rather than the doom certain corners of the internet are selling. He also digs into the Falkland Islands controversy and a wave of Israeli influencer pressure campaigns, plus a Fox Business hypocrisy moment involving Macklemore and Robert Kraft. But the real story is MBS. Houthi forces have seized Saudi coastline, hit an oil pipeline and a refinery, and reportedly pushed MBS to call Trump twice asking for military strikes. Ghost walks through the reporting and lays out why he is skeptical of the narrative that MBS is quietly turning to Israel for help.
