Week in Review: ‘A New Middle East,’ and Much More
Show Notes
- The Abraham Accords were officially signed between Israel and its Arab neighbors the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, starting what the Jerusalem Post called “a new Middle East.”
- British politicians continue to stonewall Britain’s exit from the European Union, and internal division is growing as the Boris Johnson administration tries to defend British national interests.
- A new report from the Asia Society Policy Institute warns that China’s global economic projects can be used for more militaristic purposes, at the expense of American power.
- We also talk about what Japan’s new prime minister means for the nation’s future, America reimposing “snapback” sanctions on Iran, evidence that China is funding Black Lives Matter, Barbados announcing it will remove Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state, and President Donald Trump’s plan to fight the attack on American history.
