Week in Review: Russia Moves Into Venezuela, Iran Attacks Israel From Gaza, EU Restricts Internet, and Much More
Show Notes
- America has backed a new government in beleaguered Venezuela—but this week Russia sent troops to safeguard the failed regime of President Nicolás Maduro, directly challenging the United States and establishing a military presence in America’s backyard.
- A flurry of rockets on Israel from Gaza this week demonstrate an escalation in Iran’s offensive against the Jewish state.
- European Parliament demonstrated its authoritarian tendencies by passing a controversial law that will reduce Internet freedom and give European bureaucrats far more control over what happens online.
- India shot down a satellite in space with a missile, giving the nation military capacity that could play a major role in the next world war.
- We’ll also get an update on Brexit and some analysis on the Mueller report on Donald Trump; improving China-Europe relations; how economic sanctions are hurting Iran; and the war that is killing 30,000 Americans every year!
