Why The World Won’t Intervene in Gaza | Pokrovsk Breakthrough | Zelensky Under Fire

Conversations Among The Ruins - A podcast by Charles Erickson

In this episode, Charlie checks in with his father reporting from Moscow to break down some of the world’s most urgent crises. The conversation starts with a deep dive into the worsening humanitarian disaster in Gaza, exploring why major world powers refuse to intervene, who is truly complicit, and what it means for global morality. Next, the discussion pivots to the Russia-Ukraine war, contrasting its conduct and civilian impact against the war in Gaza, unpacking recent battlefield developments like the battle for Pokrovsk, and evaluating how Western support and escalation risks could shape the conflict’s outcome. The episode wraps up with a look at mounting unrest in Ukraine, Zelensky’s crackdown on anti-corruption bodies, and why the West may be losing patience with its once-celebrated wartime leader. Thoughtful, urgent, and at times deeply personal, this is not your average news recap.
