Week in Review: Chinese Forces Surround Taiwan, and Much More
Show Notes
- Chinese military forces are surrounding Taiwan in a series of drills, what many have said looks like a rehearsal for an invasion of the island nation to bring it under Chinese rule.
- Finland and Sweden are making a historic push for NATO membership, a sign of their fear of Russia. Britain promised immediate protection by extending its nuclear umbrella over these nations.
- The leaked draft of a Supreme Court decision that would overturn Roe v. Wade has sparked serious backlash from the radical left, and it is turning violent.
- We also talk about Palestinians using the death of a journalist to foment violence, an election in Germany that revealed how politically weak Olaf Scholz has become, the Philippines ushering in a new Marcos era, signs of how powerful Iran’s supreme leader has grown, and the Biden administration continuing to exacerbate rising gas prices.
