Week in Review: Undermining America on Several Fronts, a New Iran Nuclear Deal?, the Cross in Bavaria, and Much More

Show Notes

  • Many nations are working to undermine America’s political and economic power.
    • They’re turning away from using dollars—such as China introducing yuan-denominated oil contracts, Iran replacing the dollar with the euro, and Venezuela launching a cryptocurrency.
    • China is coaxing India away from its alliance with America by courting its prime minister.
    • Security cooperation among Asian nations under the leadership of Russia and China is stronger than ever thanks to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
    • The European Union is strengthening its trade relations with Mexico to help minimize the impact of President Donald Trump’s renegotiation of nafta.
  • We’ll also talk about the possibility of a new Iran nuclear deal, attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities, a state in Germany that has decided that all public buildings need to start displaying the cross, and another ugly development exposing the corruption in Washington.
