Week in Review: New German Government?, Turkey and Pope Discuss Jerusalem, Russia’s Missile Threat, and Much More
Show Notes
- German leaders emerged from marathon discussions with an agreement for a coalition government in hand. There are a few hurdles left, but Germany may have a government within weeks. Yet Germans don’t have much to celebrate: We’ll talk about why.
- Turkey’s president visited the Vatican. He and the pope had an extended conversation, and a notable item on the agenda was the status of Jerusalem.
- New photos show that China’s militarization of the South China Sea is extensive and even more dramatic than previously realized.
- Russia has installed nuclear-capable missiles on the border of Lithuania, and says that nato and Europe have nothing to be concerned about.
- We will also talk about the rough week for global economic markets, a crisis brewing in the Red Sea, Israel having new warships built, and what recently released memos in Washington tell us about the perilous state of America’s government.
