Week in Review: America Strikes Syria, Terrorism in Russia, Germany’s Cyber Command, and Much More
- This week, Syrian President Bashar Assad used chemical weapons against his own people, and America responded with its first direct assault on Syria. This could be a turning point in Syria’s six-year civil war.
- Terrorists attacked in St. Petersburg, Russia, killing 11. If the aftermath follows the pattern of previous attacks, we will see President Vladimir Putin further tighten his grip on power.
- The German military is establishing a new branch, a massive effort to meet the growing threat from cyberattacks.
- California has ruled in the case of Planned Parenthood employees’ being willing to sell the body parts of aborted babies. It has convicted the criminal behavior of … the people who secretly filmed the incriminating videos.
- We also talk about China’s leader visiting U.S. President Donald Trump, a surprising announcement from Russia’s foreign ministry, what happens to Gibraltar as Britain leaves the European Union, and a record-breaking drug bust in Australia.
