1)  Israeli Elections  Again This  November:  Will Far-Right Zionist Faction Gain Ground?  :   This will be the 5th election is less that four years in Israel.   Israel's right-wing former Prime Minister, Bibi Netanyahu, is uniting with two right-wing 'Jewish Supremacist' parties, and is now expected to win.    If Zionist extremists win, should  America tamp down  it's support for Israel?

2)  The UK Conservative  "Tory" Party Chooses Liz Truss  as New Prime Minister:  The Conservative Tory Prime Minister Boris Johnson stepped down in June, and the Conservative Party just selected Liz Truss, who was previously the  Foreign Minister, as Prime Minister.  What does her rise mean for US-UK relations?

3) Chinese Ambassador Explains His View of  One China Policy:  In an interview last week with Al Jazerra News,  'Wolf Warrior' Chinese Ambassador to the US, Mr.  QIN Gang explained why the PRC is so intent on reclaiming Taiwan.   What did he say and do you agree?

4)  Next month, on Oct 16th, the Chinese Communist Party will be holding it's 20th National Congress:   Pres. Xi is expected to be elected to a third five-year term as General Secretary.   What do you think will happen?

5)  What Additional Measures Could Be Taken to Stop Putin's War of Aggression in Ukraine? :  The US and EU have engaged in economic sanctions, including freezes on Russian technology, capital and oil.  In response, Russia has just started a full scale 'gas embargo' of Europe, including shutting down the Nordstream 1 pipeline.  The EU Commission chief calls it 'economic warfare' and Europe is scrambling to find alternative supplies.  Should the US and Europe now increase their pressure on Putin, or accept his counter-sanctions without further response to avoid any greater escalation?
