The polls are open in Japan for the snap election. Prime
Minister Abe is expected to retain power despite the growing popularity of the
Governor of Tokyo Yuriko Koike that leads the newly-formed Party of Hope. Her
popularity fades quickly since she appears more concerned about remaining
governor through the 2020 Olympic Games. Of course Abe labels Yuriko Koike as
inexperienced and indecisive.

The Kurds complain that US weapons are now turned against
them with the Iraqi army seizing control of their region. President Trump
supported the Kurds through his election campaign and first few months of his presidency,
however, now says he remains neutral on the matter. By saying he is neutral,
Trump is standing with the Baghdad government. Iraq may descend into civil war
unless the Kurds and Iraqi government can pursue diplomatic talks.
