Week in Review: Britain Files for Divorce, Tension in Gaza, Russia in the Balkans, and Much More

  • This week Britain formally began the legal process of divorcing from the European Union—this is a process with huge implications for both Britain and Europe, and one that Herbert W. Armstrong prophesied over 50 years ago.
  • Tensions are rising between Israel and Hamas—the terrorist group is using missiles more advanced than those it has used before, and Israel’s ability to defend itself could be tested to its limit.
  • Demonstrations in Russia have some people saying Vladimir Putin’s power could be under threat. We’ll look at why that is unlikely.
  • The Balkans are very important to Europe—but Russia is getting increasingly involved there. It’s yet another area where Putin is increasing his leverage against European leaders.
  • We’ll also talk about a concerning agenda item that came up at this week’s Arab summit—an alarming grab for power in India—an increase in mass shootings within the United States—and why a Catholic Church in Mexico is such a strong opponent of Donald Trump building a border wall.
