Week in Review: U.S. Drawdown From the Middle East, the End of Hong Kong’s Freedom, and Much More
Show Notes
- The Biden administration is in the midst of a major realignment of the U.S. military, and it is accomplishing the first phase of it by pulling troops and armaments out of the Middle East.
- Hong Kong’s famous pro-democracy Apple Daily newspaper published its final issue this week—the latest sign of China’s illegal encroachment on the territory.
- Meanwhile, the Vatican put former French Prime Minister Robert Schuman on the path to sainthood, which reveals something critical about the modern world.
- We also discuss the Biden administration’s calls for gun control, the EU’s new Cyber Unit, Russia’s support of Myanmar, U.S. plans for a digital dollar, and the latest on the conflict in Libya.
