Sanchez Effect

‘The US government is happy to gamble with the lives of future generations for their own sick personal enrichment’ – Ana Kasparian

There’s an extra portion of RT’s Sanchez Effect this week as Rick talks to co-host of ‘The Young Turks’ Ana Kasparian. The main topic is US domestic and foreign policy. Ana says that America’s political system lacks real alternatives, citing the example of Democrats and Republicans conducting the same pro-war, anti-Russian foreign policy. She adds that most people don’t support it and want to focus on prosperity for America, not ‘balkanizing’ Russia. Ms. Kasparian also projects a possible escalation against Tehran as Trump is ‘a sore loser which makes the Iran war a lot more difficult to see a light at the end of the tunnel on.’ Learn more here, on RT or on BitChute ‘ricksancheztv’.

‘Sounds like a Soviet KGB story’: Why was an American professor fired over an opinion?

On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, Rick sits down with Dr. Shirin Saedi, a former University of Arkansas professor whose academic career was terminated via email. Her crime? Questioning the actions of Israel.

Dr. Saedi reveals a shocking reality: the university allegedly outsourced its disciplinary decision to a politically funded external lobby, labeling her ‘anti-Semitic’. She is convinced that if she have criticized Russia or Mexico, she would have been promoted, not fired.

Together with Rick they dissect US support for exiled groups now calling for the bombing of their own homeland, as well as how decades of media conditioning trained the public to accept institutional bias. Tune in to RT for the full conversation.

‘The Iran war caused a restructuring of the global balance of power in favor of Iran, Russia, and China’ – David Pyne

On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, Rick sits down with David Pyne, US Security Task Force deputy director, for an unfiltered look at American foreign policy under Trump. From ignoring US intelligence on Iran to the ‘strategic defeat’ reshaping the global power balance, Pyne pulls zero punches. He says that Trump chose to believe Netanyahu over his own intelligence agencies and argues that the US would lose a direct war against Russia or China right now. He also explains how pushing Russia into a corner backfired, transforming Ukraine into an authoritarian state.

Together with Rick, they dissect what the US and Iranian presidents have said at the UN General Assembly, with news analysis you don’t want to miss. Only on RT.

Dobropolye is blocked and many Ukrainian units are stuck inside. A former US Army officer describes their fate: ‘They are cooked’

In today’s Sanchez Effect on RT, Rick and his guest Stanislav Krapivnik break down what’s happening on the front lines, showing the current positions of advancing Russian troops on a big screen. Their discussion comes just as the Russian Defense Ministry announces that Ukrainian troops are again encircled in one of the key arenas of the conflict. Stanislav says that Russia can capture the city of Dobropolye in a matter of weeks due to its drone and artillery superiority. Since it is the last prepared defense line in that direction, he adds, further advancement by Russian troops will look like a blitzkrieg.

‘The great and powerful Oz turns out to be this little guy with a drinking problem’ – Larry Johnson

‘Russia had the perception that the US was very powerful militarily. And then just like in the Wizard of Oz at the end, the curtain gets pulled back and the great and powerful Oz turns out to be this little guy with a drinking problem’ – Larry Johnson.

Today’s guest on RT’s Sanchez Effect is former CIA analyst and BERG associates CEO, Larry Johnson. Rick and his guest waste no time breaking down the Middle East and Ukraine conflicts, with Rick saying he believes the Russians want to finish off Ukraine, but Kiev won’t back away from its escalation against civilian targets. Larry calls Kiev’s weekend drone barrage a “pyrrhic victory” as Moscow’s retaliation will certainly make Vladimir Zelensky regret his decision. On Iran, Rick poses the question of whether an uprising in the Islamic Republic is possible amid such instability there. Larry says – no chance. Iranian society has become united, with 98% of them now supporting their government – and despite all Washington’s efforts to divide them. Rick and Larry also discussed the recent Ansar Allah advances against the Yemeni government and Saudi Arabia. The former CIA analyst reminds Rick that the US and other Saudi friends are not there to help the kingdom, so perhaps the Houthis might make a move on Riyadh quite soon. You can watch the whole episode here on RT, or on BitChute ‘ricksancheztv’.

‘Africans vote for their leaders, Europeans don’t – and their elites try to teach us about democracy’ – BRICS TV General Director

‘Africans vote for their leaders, Europeans don’t – and their elites try to teach us about democracy’ – BRICS TV General Director Ayanda Holo.

On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, Rick Sanchez sits down with BRICS TV General Director Ayanda Holo, who doesn’t mince words on the state of European politics. Despite extremely low support among the electorate, the elites cling to power for years. Holo and Sanchez dissect the shifting balance of global power. Holo notes that the BRICS nations achieved a historic consensus despite their differing interests and goals, proving that the youth of the Global South no longer reveres Western dominance. With the UN Security Council facing an inevitable revamp by powers like South Africa, Brazil, and India, the conversation shifts to the future of Africa. By 2050, a quarter of the world’s population will be African – driven by a hyper-young, innovative demographic and an abundance of critical minerals.

The writing is on the wall: The world is interconnected, and the era of isolating the Global South is over.
