Show Notes

  • Instability continues to unfold in North Africa. Sudan’s long-standing leader, Omar al-Bashir, has been ousted. Iran wants strong ties with this nation in a bid to control the Red Sea, and could increase its efforts in Bashir’s absence.
  • Libya is on the brink of exploding, with 600,000 migrants trying to make their way toward Europe. So far, Europe’s response has been divided and weak.
  • Benjamin Netanyahu secured another term as Israel’s prime minister. Now we can expect the Trump administration to finally unveil its Middle East peace plan.
  • President Donald Trump is sanctioning Venezuelan oil exports to Cuba and trying to limit Russia’s influence. This could strengthen Europe’s influence on Venezuela.
  • We also talk about Russia and Germany’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline, China’s alignment with Europe and friction with the Philippines, and Americans’ marijuana use at a 14-year high.
