Week in Review: Europe to Build Migrant Centers, Iran to Split from Syria?, Anthony Kennedy’s Legacy, and Much More

Show Notes

  • European leaders took the first steps toward addressing their immigration crisis in a meeting this week, agreeing to create controlled centers to process incoming migrants. It could further expand Europe’s presence in Northern Africa.
  • Russia looks like it is further working against Iran’s interests, one of several factors pressuring Iran to split from Syria—which would fulfill a biblical prophecy.
  • China is increasing its military presence in Africa to secure its economic interests there.
  • U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement this week. We’ll look at the effect that this one judge has had on American society over the past 30 years.
  • We’ll also talk about the dramatic modernization of Russia’s military, Europe returning to the Balkans, the royal family of Britain making its first visit to Israel, and the increasingly nasty nature of political discourse in America.
