Week in Review: China Still Backs Russia, Europe Still Controls Britain, Iran Is Still Going Nuclear
Show Notes
- Some Westerners have been optimistic that China would make the “economically sound” decision to move away from war-waging Russia to prevent jeopardizing trade with the United States and Europe. Xi Jinping’s call to Vladimir Putin this week shows that optimism was misplaced.
- Despite Brexit, the European Union still wields serious control over the United Kingdom.
- Meanwhile, the Islamic Republic of Iran is charging closer to achieving its nuclear goal.
- This episode also covers the U.S. Federal Reserve taking an aggressive swing at inflation, alarming changes in the German military, Israeli strikes on Syria, plans for a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, and new claims that American voting machines can be hacked.
