• Russia’s Vladimir Putin has cemented his hold on power even more by announcing that 400,000 soldiers are now directly accountable to him—effectively creating his own private army.
• Ukraine’s prime minister resigned this week, amid strong public outcry against corruption, throwing this strategic country into greater turmoil.
• A deal between Egypt and Saudi Arabia has Egyptians outraged, causing some to speculate that yet another Egyptian revolution may be around the corner.
• A respected investor says America’s stock market has become like a casino—and our get-rich-quick gambling culture is going to end in disaster.
• We’ll also talk about a Russian plane’s provocative act—how Germany is taking over the Dutch army—how a German comedian got Angela Merkel in trouble with Turkey’s strongman—President Obama’s biggest regret—calls to treat sugar addition like drug addiction—and how pirates are taking over Iceland.
All this and much more—on the next Trumpet Hour.
