This article made national news last week when it reported alleged ties between Hunter Biden and a Ukrainian gas company. It was written by the New York Post, which has a somewhat conservative bias. There are still a lot of question marks about its findings (for example, it recovered emails from a laptop delivered to a repair shop in Delaware that was never picked up) and it seems like an attempt by conservatives to stir up controversy right before Election Day.

This result is definitely a win for the left, as they had been in power for 14 years before Evo Morales was forced into exile in an alleged coup last year. It may also have an effect on global politics as a whole, as Morales was a supporter of the controversial Venezuelan government and tried to reduce American involvement in Bolivia when he was in office

Nagorno-Karabakh is a mountainous region in Eastern Europe that is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but occupied by Armenia. Both countries are former Soviet states, and have been fighting over the region since the fall of the Soviet Union. Tens of thousands of people have died and millions have been forced to flee their homes. The conflict is important because it is located near global powers such as Russia and Iran, who could potentially be drawn into the conflict.

This article is both interesting and unique in that it is an opinion piece written by a resident of Northern Ireland instead of a traditional news article. The author argues that UK politicians omit Northern Ireland from discussions about Brexit, and a potential withdrawal could threaten the peace that the island has managed to keep for the past 20 years. Interestingly, she is also critical of Joe Biden's involvement, saying that his actions anger Unionists, or protestants who support remaining a part of the UK.

Recently, Russia announced that it had created the first Covid-19 vaccine. They were immediately met with skepticism by many Western countries, as well as from doctors around the world. I find it very interesting that Russia named their vaccine "Sputnik V" after Sputnik 1, the first space satellite; it seems like Russia wants to mirror the Space Race by racing to find a vaccine while other countries focus on trials to ensure a potential vaccine's safety and effectiveness.
