Modest but important steps in the direction of diplomacy to end the war in Ukraine; strengthening the nuclear testing taboo, and disturbing new reasons why Canada should end its arms exports to Saudi Arabia are some of our topics in this week’s blog post.
We examine more possibilities for a negotiated settlement in Ukraine, discuss dismal prospects on the Iran nuclear deal, touch on the unnerving election results in the Philippines and end with shocking events in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
