Trying people for crimes against humanity is a rare occurrence nowadays, and Germany successfully trying and prosecuting a Syrian criminal of an international crime is definitely an example of globalization.

The border crisis is only continuing to worsen for the US as the amount of migrants is increasing. Subsistence farmers who are unable to make a living in Central America are continuing to venture north in huge numbers in search of a better life.

While countries like Venezuela are dependent on oil and called petro-states, Syria is starting to become a narco-state due to its flourishing illegal drug industry

Diabetics could be booking their appointments to get these stem cells in 8 months but due to bureaucracy and the unnecessarily paperwork-filled and politicized FDA process, diabetics probably won't receive this treatment for 3 years. This perfectly shows America's complex bureaucratic system that is often much more complicated than many other nations.

Kinda interesting to see the lengths Bolsonaro will go to in order to remain in power. Aligning himself to a political party that does not reflect his views

Guatemalan soldiers are demanding money that the government does not necessarily have.

Guatemala is thinking of following in the footsteps of El Salvador and adopting cryptocurrency as the official currency. A bold and dangerous move

Protests over a Swiss-run mine in the northern coastal province of Izabal have resulted in the government implementing a curfew in hopes of ending the unrest. Protesters say they were not consulted about the mine before it was set up.

It's interesting to see the wealth many leaders have been hiding from the public. It is also interesting to see how many of these leaders were or still are in charge of democratic nations which I did not expect.

While throwing an egg at Macron is still obviously illegal in France, it is interesting to compare how an act like that would be punished in a more authoritarian government.

Russians head to the polls in what is expected to be an easy victory for the ruling United Russia Party. The power of the opposition parties has been significantly reduced thanks to crackdowns on political dissent by Putin and his government. It is interesting to watch Russia fall into authoritarianism while many lesser developed countries are moving towards democracy.

North Korea successfully conducted a launch of new long-range cruise missiles heating up the arms race on the Korean Peninsula. While ballistic missile launches are banned for North Korea by the UN, the firing of cruise missiles is not.

While Japan's domestic and foreign policies likely will not be affected much by a new leader (as they will most likely be from the same party), the prime minister of the world's third-largest economy forced out over the handling of Covid-19 might send ideas to other countries struggling with the coronavirus that their leaders can be forced out as well.
