Show Notes
- Russia’s offensive in Ukraine is entering a more brutal phase as it grinds through its 10th month. The latest evidence can be seen in the city of Bakhmut, where the devastation it is wreaking is drawing comparisons with the World War I battle of Verdun.
- Germany is buying American F-35 fighter jets, a significant increase in its air capability, including the power to deliver nuclear bombs.
- Russia has been using Iranian ballistic missiles against Ukraine, part of greater cooperation between these nations deliberately aimed at skirting international efforts to prevent this.
- We also talk about the latest “Twitter Files” revelations, a major corruption scandal in the European Union, still greater unity between the dictators of Russia and China, European leaders calling for escalating punishments against Iran, and a military official threatening a mom for privately complaining about sexualization in her 7-year-old daughter’s school.
