Week in Review: Britain’s Shock Election, Iran Hit by Terrorism, SCO Expands, $400 Trillion Debt Bomb, and Much More

• Britain’s Prime Minister called a snap election to strengthen her political position—and it backfired. She was weakened politically as 40 percent of Britons voted for the party of terrorist-loving Marxist Jeremy Corbyn.

• Several Sunni Arab states have cut off relations with Qatar, sharpening an important dividing line in the Middle East.

• The Iranian capital was hit by brazen coordinated terrorist attacks, and the Islamic State has claimed responsibility.

• The Shanghai Cooperation Organization is adding two new members in a move that further unites Asia and strengthens Russia’s leadership.

• We’ll also talk about Germany moving its Middle Eastern air operations to Jordan—evidence of Cuba still sponsoring terrorism—why one analyst says China has won its bid to gain control over the South China Sea—and how the world is sitting on a $400 trillion financial time bomb.
