Week in Review: U.S. Attacks Europe’s Energy Links to Russia, American Attempts to Lure Oman From Iran, Nazi Artifacts in Argentina, and More

  • In recent months, the integrity of the nato alliance has taken some big hits, and this week, in a story related to a Russian gas pipeline, it looks like it has sustained another one. Can this Atlantic alliance survive?
  • President Donald Trump’s policy toward Iran is quite different from that of the Obama administration’s. One very telling way to examine how deep these differences are is by looking at how both approach Oman.
  • Iran and China have just held major naval drills that push against American influence in the Middle East.
  • And a massive trove of Nazi artifacts was just discovered in Argentina.
  • We also discuss Germany spying on America, what it would take for Qatar to have the embargo on it lifted, a tremendously powerful Russian cyberweapon, and the ongoing shift in American beliefs about the origins of life.
