Week in Review: Political Instability in UK, Israel, Germany and America; Russia vs. NATO Cyberwar, and Much More

Show Notes

  • In four separate nations, crises in the government could trigger major political changes:
    • In the UK, Prime Minister Theresa May could be replaced at any time because of anger over how she is undermining the public’s Brexit vote.
    • In Israel, the defense minister has resigned over the government’s response to Hamas rocket attacks, which could spark fresh elections.
    • In Germany, Horst Seehofer has announced he will resign as csu chair just one month after Angela Merkel resigns from the cdu, opening the door for political intrigue.
    • And in America, suspicious election recounts continue, threatening the strength of Republicans’ hold on the Senate.
  • We’ll also talk about cyberattacks by Russia against nato, new documents showing just how close Iran has gotten to having a nuclear bomb, historic enemies China and Japan working together, and the record-breaking wildfires in California.
