Week in Review: The Ukraine War After Six Months
Show Notes
- It has been six months of Russia warring in Ukraine. We look at the present state of the war, Vladimir Putin’s initiative to expand his military, and how this conflict might develop in the time ahead.
- Italy’s elections are next month, and it looks like the big winner could be the Brothers of Italy, the successor of Mussolini’s Fascist party.
- In Iraq, the government has been deadlocked since last October because of a feud between the country’s two largest Shiite groups. Who will come out on top?
- We also talk about the impending retirement of Anthony Fauci; China’s burgeoning, cutting-edge submarine fleet; America lashing out at Iran as nuclear-deal negotiations wind down; Europe discovering a gas field in Cyprus that could draw it deeper into the Middle East; and the staggering number of immigrants into the U.S. since Joe Biden assumed the presidency.
