• Hezbollah’s protests over the investigation of the Beirut blast quickly turned deadly, sparking fears of the potential for renewed civil war in Lebanon.
• Japan’s new ruling party has pledged to double its military spending, adding to ongoing dramatic arms procurement among Asian nations.
• As the Taliban proves itself incapable of governing Afghanistan, America is entering bizarre negotiations with the Taliban to provide humanitarian aid to help the suffering Afghans.
