Russia’s Rising Intervention in Syria, Terror in Israel, Germany’s Turn Against Immigrants, U.S. Press Love for the Pope, and More

Russia is increasing its military involvement in Syria. While saying that it is targeting the Islamic State, most of its airstrikes are actually being directed against the American-supported anti-Assad forces.

Also as Russia steps up its attacks, it is receiving military aid from its China—in more evidence of this growing Asian alliance.

Israelis are having to watch their backs thanks to a rash of knifings and small-scale terrorist attacks by Palestinians.

Germans who were supportive of taking in refugees just a couple of weeks ago are defecting to an anti-immigration stance. This is hurting Angela Merkel’s political standing and helping more right-wing politicians.

Finally, the pope’s visit to the U.S. last week saw the most pro-Catholic press coverage ever in America’s history.

All this and much more in this episode of Trumpet Hour.
