In this episode, hosts Tiana and Kervin cover various global events, including the dam explosion in Ukraine, tensions between Russia and Ukraine, Iran's plans for renewed attacks on US troops in the Middle East, and a new deal between China and Cuba on eavesdropping. The explosion at the power plant caused flooding in the Kherson region, and the motives behind the attack are unclear. Iran has been planning potential attacks on US troops in Syria and recruiting locals to target US forces. Cuba's deal with China to establish an electronic eavesdropping facility on the island raises concerns about privacy and security, allowing China to gather electronic communications from the United States and potentially spy on US military installations. Tensions between China and the United States are rising in the Taiwan Strait, where a Chinese naval ship crossed the bow of a US destroyer within 150 yards, an almost unprecedented action. The Chinese Communist Party claims both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to China, while the US considers Taiwan part of China privately but does not agree with that statement publicly. China's 2025 plan for the invasion of Taiwan is a concern. The hosts also discuss the recent story of a whistleblower claiming that the US government has shot down and captured an unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) and is reverse engineering it, but the credibility of the claim is in question. Throughout the episode, Tiana and Kervin emphasize the importance of staying informed and engaging with their audience, both through their podcast and their Instagram and newsletter content. They encourage listeners to provide feedback and ask questions to foster a sense of community and dialogue.----------------------Get your discount on a brand new BlendJet2 by going to our link: https://zen.ai/analytics12subscribe and follow us: https://linktr.ee/AucoinAnalytics---------------------Disclaimer:The views and opinions expressed on the podcast 'This Week Explained' are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any organization or entity.
