Trump’s ex-spy chief warns American democracy may not survive November election

The former United States Director of National Intelligence, who served in the administration of President Donald Trump as the highest-ranking intelligence official until 2019, has warned that American democracy may not survive the upcoming presidential election. In a stark editorial published on Thursday in The New York Times, Dan Coats warns that whether “the American democratic experiment, one of the boldest political innovations in human history”, will survive after November, remains an open question.

The first shots fired in 45 years rang out across a section of the heavily-armed Himalayan border between China and India this month. The gunfire should warn not only the two nuclear powers themselves but also the wider world that Asia’s security is imperilled as anxieties build in flashpoints along China’s southern and eastern fringes.

 

New Delhi and Beijing agreed after the shots were fired to “quickly disengage” troops in the disputed border region in a welcome de-escalation. But tens of thousands of troops backed by heavy weaponry still guard the frontier area where 21 Indian soldiers — and an unknown number of Chinese — were killed in hand-to-hand fighting in June

US accuses Hezbollah of stockpiling weapons and ammonium nitrate across Europe

 

State department’s Nathan Sales says group ‘represents clear and present danger to the US’ and urges Europe to take tougher line

The US has accused Hezbollah of storing caches of weapons and ammonium nitrate for use in explosives across Europe in recent years, with the alleged aim of preparing for future attacks ordered by Iran.

 

The allegation was made by the state department’s counterterrorism coordinator, Nathan Sales, who called on European countries to take a tougher line on the Tehran-backed Lebanese Shia political movement and militia.
