While the USA is concentrating almost exclusively on its ugly midterm elections, we point out that further confrontations with Iran are on the horizon, and that there is no end of the Russia-Ukraine war in sight. Europeans object to the proposal of an associate member status of Canada; America’s addiction to war is highlighted; and so is the danger of the Muslim Brotherhood.
