Week in Review: Midwest Floods, Algeria’s Political Void, America’s Vulnerability to Space War, and Much More
Show Notes
- Widespread flooding in America’s Midwest has left farms, towns, nearly entire states, underwater. This disaster threatens to spike food prices in the U.S., and could foreshadow biblically prophesied social breakdown and famine.
- Algeria’s ruler, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, stepped down this week, leaving a political void that Islamists are eager to fill. The North African nation’s future is being watched closely by Europe, which is anxious to prevent further waves of migrants coming north.
- A think tank warns that the U.S. is vulnerable to space war, and that China, Russia, Iran and North Korea could turn the world’s greatest military into a “deaf, dumb, blind and impotent” force by knocking out the satellites it relies on.
- We also discuss takeaways from NATO’s 70th anniversary, an official report on American troops killed by Iran, Iran creating a missile production facility in Lebanon, a new era for Japan after its emperor abdicates later this month, and America’s “Category 5” immigration crisis.
