Mark Sleboda, Moscow-based international relations security analyst, joins us to discuss Ukraine.

Also, Russia argues that the tragedy in Donbass forced them to act militarily in Ukraine.
Steve Poikonen, national organizer for Action4Assange, and Jim Kavanagh, writer at thepolemicist.net and Counter Punch and the author of "The American Farce Unravels: Shreds of January 6th," join us to discuss Julian Assange. There is great outrage across the spectrum of free speech advocates as a UK court appears to have given the green light for Julain Assange to be extradited to the US for persecution.
K. J. Noh, peace activist, writer, and teacher, joins us to discuss China.

Ted Rall, political cartoonist and syndicated columnist, joins us to discuss the French election. A UK judge has ordered that Julain Assange be extradited to the US. Also, tonight's political debate in France may be a pivotal moment in European politics and decide the fate of the neocon interventionists on the continent.

Ajamu Baraka, former VP candidate for the Green Party, joins us to discuss The Global South. Venezuela has a long history of defying brutal empires and seems to be rising from its second go-round against the US.
