Week in Review: Islamic State Attack in Paris, China in Middle East, Germany Into Syria? and Much More

• The Islamic State carried out a terrorist attack in Paris last night—just two days before French voters take to the polls in the first round of France’s presidential election. How might this affect French politics?

• Turkish voters awarded increased power to strongman Recep Tayyip Erdogan last Sunday, and U.S. President Donald Trump congratulated him.

• China is getting more deeply involved in the Middle East, positioning itself as a friend to all and an enemy to none.

• Germany’s defense minister says the UN should step into the situation in Syria once the civil war ends—and offered to send in German troops.

• We’ll also talk about Russia amassing troops on its border with North Korea—a Nation of Islam believer on a murder spree in California—an update on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s reelection prospects—and how millions of millennials are living a life of leisure, no job, no school, in Mom’s basement.
