Show Notes
• A pending agreement between Ukraine and the European Union was put on ice this week by a referendum in the Netherlands. How can the EU forge a robust foreign policy when it can be hijacked by a single country?
• The formerly atheist Soviet Empire has turned into the religiously intolerant Russia—it is now illegal to say “there is no God”—as Vladimir Putin harnesses the power of religion to cement his power.
• Mexico’s problems continue to mount as its oil industry collapses—jeopardizing the source of 40 percent of government revenue.
• We’ll also talk about warfare that broke out in a small but very important part of the strategic caucasus—a huge load of arms confiscated en route to Yemen—a crisis in student loan repayment—Tax Freedom Day—and the battle for the North Pole!
