Welcome to newcomer Ben as we cover some international news going on in the last couple of weeks as the president of South Korea institutes marshall law, attempts a coup and is resisted by the working class, followed by Assad's imminent deposition and ousting in Syria followed by Ukraine's inevitable surrender as it remains to be seen if Ukraine will be carved up as world capitalism divides and redivides national boundaries. Lastly we cover assassinated CEO of United Health, and what it means for the working class in the fight for universal healthcare.
