- In Israel’s fourth election in two years, Benjamin Netanyahu performed well personally but failed to secure the votes needed to lead a governing coalition. And he faces firm opposition from the new Biden administration in Washington.
- In a major embarrassment, Angela Merkel announced new covid restrictions and then did an abrupt about-face after massive public backlash—just the latest in a series of political convulsions in Germany.
- China has taken extraordinary tactics to assert de facto control over another reef in the Philippines, part of its strategy to secure and to militarize the South China Sea.
- We also talk about the Suez Canal being completely shut down, Europe introducing a centralized European vaccine passport, a mass murder in Colorado that has the left crying out for more gun control, a resumption of provocative missile tests from North Korea, and massive flooding in Australia.
