With the mid-terms done and our leaders mostly off chatting in Vietnam this past week, we expand our subject matter out from the usual Iraq issues to bring in the current situation with China and how we see their emerging global presence continuing to grow. The signings this past week of new Chinese-Pakistani arms deals alongside the American decision to cooperate with India on nuclear issues - despite India still not being a member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty - may just be a foreshadowing a Cold War sequel, as the two powers strive for territory within their spheres of influence.Throw in some discussion on the situation with Iran, the murder by poison of a Russian spy, and a bit of discussion on An Inconvenient Truth now that it is released on DVD, and we have another full show covering the past week's events. After all, just because the leaders are away doesn't mean that the Politically Sound team doesn't get to play! Visit Stephanie at Politically Sound. Check The Show List For Times. | ||||||||||
