Week in Review: Europe Reviving the Roman Empire, Russia’s Unfree Press, and Much More

• As Britain prepares to vote next month on leaving the EU, prominent British critics are calling the European Project an ill-fated resurrection of the Roman Empire.
• Freedom of the press in Russia saw the last nail put in its coffin this week when three journalists lost their jobs after running a story critical of Vladimir Putin’s palace.
• A prominent Shiite leader in Iraq, Muqtada al Sadr, is making a comeback. As Iraq’s prime minister tries to reform the parliament, Sadr is angling for more power, which could play into Iran’s hands.
• We’ll also talk about why gun sales in Germany are spiking—how China and Russia are undermining the dollar by buying up gold—what Americans would do if they had an unexpected thousand-dollar emergency—and, how Germany beat America in a tank battle.
