Week in Review: It’s Official—the United States Is in Recession

• The Biden administration in the United States is still trying not to use the “R” word. But the data is in, and the economy is in recession. If it doesn’t turn around, America will soon be facing a full-blown depression.
• Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke to Biden yesterday, without mincing words, particularly regarding Taiwan. The pressure tactics he used reflect a new strategic reality that has taken hold in Asia.
• Meanwhile, Russia’s war in Ukraine is charging ahead with more and more war crimes and atrocities being committed on Ukrainians, and Vladimir Putin says he’s only just begun.
• We also discuss France-Saudi Arabia ties, Europe heading toward a cold winter, fresh threats from North Korea, the tide turning for Benjamin Netanyahu, and the U.S. military’s manpower shortage.
