On this episode of Direct Impact, Ben Swann fills in for Rick Sanchez. Ben takes us through a recent but short-lived coup attempt in Bolivia, the second in just five years. Then, the EU signs a defense pact with Ukraine, ramping up already volatile tensions with Russia. Finally, a US State Department spokesperson defends the years-long detention of Julian Assange. Ben Swann is later joined by journalist Camila Escalante to discuss the role of lithium mining in Bolivia’s unstable politics.
