Week in Review: The Drums of War Beat in Ukraine, and Much More
Show Notes
- Russia has amassed more than 100,000 troops effectively surrounding Ukraine, and it increasingly looks like his threats to undermine NATO and reclaim former Soviet territory are not a bluff.
- Meanwhile, U.S. President Joe Biden implied that if Russia made only a “minor incursion” into Ukraine, America would not intervene.
- And Germany appears to actually support Russia’s efforts to undermine NATO—more evidence of troubling collusion between Germany and Russia.
- Iran-backed Houthis executed a drone strike in the heart of the United Arab Emirates, showing Iran’s power in Yemen and commitment to remaining there.
- We also talk about Israel ordering submarines from Germany; joint naval drills by Russia, China and Iran; China’s new blue-water naval activities; and, after exactly one year on the Biden administration’s watch, the record number of illegal immigrants streaming across America’s southern border.
