Show Notes

• Islamist terrorists struck Spain this week, in two separate van attacks that killed over a dozen and injured over a hundred.

• Iran’s president lashed out against the United States, saying that if it imposes new sanctions, Tehran will immediately advance its nuclear program to its most sophisticated state ever.

• The Trump administration is touting a strong policy against nuclear North Korea, but a look at the details shows that to this point it hasn’t really been different from that of his predecessor.

• Civil war in the Central Africa Republic has Europe looking to intervene militarily and extend its reach in Northern Africa.

• We’ll also look at evidence that Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela is being propped up by Cuba—the Libyan coast guard banishing NGOs from helping migrants cross the Mediterranean—and the Australian Defense Force deciding that for the next 12 months, it will only recruit women.
