Sanchez Effect

Our neighbors’ experience shows security not increased by US foothold in region – Iranian ambassador to Russia

In an exclusive interview on RT’s Sanchez Effect, Kazem Jalali, Iranian ambassador to Russia, condemns America’s destabilizing impact on the international community and aggressive acts against sovereign nations – even without the age-old pretexts of ‘restoring democracy’ or ‘liberation’. He also assures that the Islamic Republic has no intention of attacking its neighbors unless they allow their territories to be used to strike Iran. The ambassador endorses the Houthis’ growing effort to push foreign influence out of Yemen – and advises Saudi Arabia to leave the country alone and choose cooperation instead.

‘This is the beginning of the end for Saudi Arabia; if they continue, their end will come from Yemen’ – Hussain Al-Bukhaiti

‘This is the beginning of the end for Saudi Arabia; if they continue, their end will come from Yemen’ – Yemeni journalist Hussain Al-Bukhaiti.

On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, Rick and his guest attempt to answer the million dollar question: How did a war-torn nation manage to upend the calculus of global superpowers and multi-billion-dollar defense networks? Al-Bukhaiti addresses the motivations driving the current escalation, dispelling Western narratives of blind aggression. He outlines a strategic, law-bound approach to self-defense, warning that recent violations of the truce have pushed Yemen past the point of no return. With a population where “everyone has their own gun and knows exactly how to use it,” he details the potential mobilization of millions ready to take the battle directly into Saudi territory. He warns: “If your house is made of glass, stop throwing rocks at your neighbors.” Al-Bukhaiti says now that the Houthis have the upper hand, the demands are different for the Saudis. To learn what they are and how the rules of war have been rewritten, watch the latest episode of Sanchez Effect.

“For the European elites, the war itself is the point. There are billions of pounds being made out of this conflict.” - Craig Murray.

Democracy is made by the rich for the rich – Fadi Lama

The European Union is hit with major protests – the Spanish government collapses over a housing crisis, French students clash with police over education underfunding, in Germany people protest against militarization and a dire economic situation.

RT’s Europe correspondent Chay Bowes joins Rick Sanchez for a conversation mocking these poor elites. And in the second part, Fadi Lama, author of ‘Why the West Can’t Win: From Bretton Woods to a Multipolar World’ tells Rick why Europe and the United States, despite all their colonial and hawkish policies, can’t win against the emerging multipolar world.

What do you get as an American for all the wars the US started? ‘Zilch’, says Bobby Sausalito

With the US Midterm election looming, it’s high time to make predictions. American political commentator and comedian Bobby Sausalito joins the discussion - but there’s nothing funny this time, especially for Donald Trump. Rick and Bobby agree that the Democrats will probably prevail this time, as Trump “lied too much.” Mr. Sausalito says Trump has forgotten all the pledges he made and instead has followed the same rhetoric his predecessors. Rick and Bobby both call the US political system ‘one-party’ and a shame compared to those in BRICS countries.
