Read on for today's agenda below prepared by David (thank you very much). - Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience. 1)Hamas Attacks Israel: In an attack last Saturday that allegedly caught Israeli intelligence off guard, Palestinian Hamas fighters launched from the tiny Gaza Strip at SW corner of Israel a massive attack inside Israel, including firing hundreds of missiles and sending fighters to border cities inside Israel itself. Over 100 Israeli hostages were captured and brought back to Gaza. Israel reports over 6000 citizens have been killed and thousands wounded. What motivated Hamas to launch this attack, and what will happen next? 2)Israeli Jews Spitting at Christians and Invading Al Aqsa Mosque?: In Israel's Temple Mount Complex, extremely conservative Jews were photographed spitting at a Christian procession carrying a Cross. Also on Wednesday of last week, Israeli extremists invaded the Al Aqsa Mosque and prayed prostrate on this Muslim holy ground. Is this a result of increasing toleration of Jewish supremacy doctrine inside Israel? 3)Azerbaijan Conquers Armenian Enclave:The Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabahk has just been captured by Azerbaijani troops. This despite Russian troops being stationed there to help preserve the status quo. Did Russia fail to help it's old ally Armenia defend it's claimed territory? Will there be long term consequences? 4)German Victory Over the Roman Legions in 9 AD: In 9 AD, the Romans from Italy attempted to conquer the German tribes and make them slaves. A German who was drafted into the Roman Army, Armenius (aka Hermann the Warrior Chief), organized a plot to trap three Roman Legions and destroy them. This led Rome to give up on conquest of Germanic peoples. Did this event shape world history?

Are such international summits really useful? 2)ASEAN Holds Summit Meeting In Indonesia Without US President?:Traditionally the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) includes participation by US leader. But this week's meeting in Jakarta, does not include US President Joe Biden. Is he just too busy? Or has something changed? 3)Anniversary of UK Princess Diana's Death?: On Aug 31, 1997 the Princess of Wales, Diana Spencer, then wife of the Prince of Wales, Charles Windsor, died after her car crashed in a tunnel. Also killed was her Arab boyfriend Dodi Fayed. The father of Dodi Fayed, an Egyptian multimillionaire named Mohammed Al- Fayed, died on August 30 , 2023, almost 26 years to the day of her death. He claimed Diana's death was an assassination ordered by the Royal Family who were racist and anti-Muslim. What do you think? 4)Ambassador Bill Richardson Dies, Age 75:Richardson, who was US Ambassador to United Nations 1997-1998, and US Secretary of Energy 1998, in the Bill Clinton Administration, later became Governor of New Mexico.

If he does so, what is the significance of his taking the Suwalki Gap, a small border area between Poland and the Baltic States? And if the Wagner Group is used as his 'little green men' in such an attack, what will be NATO's response? 2)Putin Holds Second 'Russia-Africa Summit' in St. Petersburg: Last week on July 26th Putin held a major summit of heads of government of 17 African nations in St. Petersburg. It was a followup to his first summit held in 2019 in Sochi, Russia. At the summit he offered 'free grain', expanding military cooperation, and a new 'world order' to African leaders.

Previously, he had been China's Ambassador to US prior to being hand-picked by Pres. Xi to become Foreign Minister about seven months ago. What happened to him? Does his removal reflect a power struggle? 2)Will Putin Use False Flag to Attack Poland?: This weekend, the Russian President met neighboring Belarus President Lukashenko and discussed the Wagner Group relocating to Belarus. President Lukashenko said the Wagner fighters told him they wanted to attack an arms depot in Poland supplying munitons to the Ukrainian army. And Putin said Poland wants to 'retake' the ancestral lands it once had, now parts of Ukraine and Belarus. He warned Poland if it dares invade any Belarus land, it will be like invading Russia. What's going on? 3)Spanish Elections Up in The Air?: For the first time since the death of fascist leader Franco in 1975, Spain is considering allowing neo-fascists into the government. The socialist government of Prime Minister Sanchez is under threat from the center-right populist Peoples Party (PP) who may form an alliance with the far right Vox Party to rule. What do you think will happen? 4)Things Are Really Kuki in India?: This past three months, terrible incidents of so-called 'communal violence' have occurred in north-eastern India. The State of Manipur in India's far NE area has almost two million Meetei ethnic people, who resemble the Burmese and who adopted Hindu religion. The area is also home to the Kuki and Naga peoples, who are mostly Christians. So is religion and politics the real basis for this 'ethnic' communal violence?
