Week in Review: Iran’s Strikes on the U.S., the Pope Visits Iraq, North Korea’s Returning Threat, and More
Show Notes
- Iran-backed forces have unleashed a spate of rocket attacks in Iraq, the latest of which resulted in the death of an American citizen. This is exposing how deadly the Biden administration’s Middle East policies are.
- The pope is visiting Iraq, bringing a message of healing and peace. But there is much more to this visit than appearances suggest.
- North Korea’s illegal weapons programs haven’t dominated headlines as much in recent years, but there are signs that this could soon change.
- This week’s episode also covers America’s vulnerability to cyberattacks, the latest on U.S.-Saudi relations, worrying signs of German-Russian cooperation, China infiltrating universities in the UK, and the Biden administration’s nominee for attorney general.
