The Beirut Blast

This week on the Elucidators, we’re recording on Tuesday August 11th, a week after a massive blast hit Lebanon’s capital city of Beirut, one of the most culturally important metros in the Arab world, and a place that was once known as “The Paris of the Middle East.” Sadly, a lethal blend of incompetence, corruption, oligarchic politics and explosive industrial chemicals has left Beirut and Lebanon on the brink of collapse. Also this week, we’ll elucidate the next stage of the International Thermal Experimental Reactor, a fusion power project that has the potential to be a big piece of the climate change solution, and check in on which foreign powers are meddling in the 2020 US presidential election, and what they seem to be after. As always, thanks for listening, and if you have any questions or comments, hit us up on our Facebook page or email us at [email protected] Reading:Lebanon’s Government Quits as Outrage Swells Over Port Blast30 Years Later, This Big Boy Fusion Reactor Is Almost Ready to Turn OnPelosi says election threats from China and Russia are "not equivalent"Also, follow and like us on the social medias, or drop us a question via [email protected]://www.facebook.com/theelucidators/https://twitter.com/The_Elucidatorshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCwm7lk1nGQGBsIjjpVMeIA
