Read on for today's agenda below prepared by David (thank you very much). - Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations  David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience.

1)Ukraine's President Appoints New Top Military Commander?: This past week, President Zelensky replaced his Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, General Val Zaluzhny. He said this was just a normal rotation after almost two years. But Ukraine's 2023 spring offensive bogged down into trench warfare, and disappointed many Western backers of Ukraine's fight against Russian invaders. Is Zelensky's change of military leadership really needed?

2)Beyond Ridiculous--- Who Won Pakistan's Election?: Elections were held last week in Pakistan, after months of delay. One of the candidates, former Prime Minister Imran Khan, had just been sentenced to 30 years prison two weeks prior to the election. His party logo was also banned from appearing on the ballot. But he is claiming now he won the election? Is that possible? If so, what are the consequences?

3)Is Biden's Relationship With Netanyahu Becoming Strained?: As Israel continues its 4th month of Gaza war, Biden has privately expressed more and more discomfort with Bibi's actions. Is a rift developing between Biden and Netanyahu?
