Russian diplomats are making it clear that they support China in this Taiwan crisis. Also, Russia is no longer in an age of cooperation with the West.
Steve Poikonen, national organizer for Action4Assange, joins us to discuss censorship. Most of Facebook's fact-checking groups are CIA-linked and funded cutouts. Also, a 60 Minutes report on Nicaragua has been outed as a CIA-linked propaganda move.
Scott Ritter, former UN weapon inspector in Iraq, joins us to discuss foreign policy. Senate leader Chuck Schumer is pushing legislation that will have significant free speech implications should it pass. Also, the US is approving major arms sales to the Middle East and the Gulf States.

Jim Kavanagh, writer at thepolemicist.net and CounterPunch, joins us to discuss Julian Assange.

Also, some US politicians are pushing legislation protecting journalists from espionage violation accusations.
Professor Nicolai Petro, professor of political science at the University of Rhode Island specializing in Ukraine and Russia, joins us to discuss the EU. A former German chancellor argues that his country should activate the Nordstream 2 pipeline. Also, the EU suffers from cold showers, and a lack of lights as the absence of Russian energy takes its toll.
