‘The US has become what the Soviet Union was in the 1970s, while Russia has become what the US once was’

That’s the assessment by former CIA analyst Larry Johnson on the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, here on RT International.

They discussed Ukraine and how NATO uses it as a pawn. They also contrasted Russia with America as they focused on pressing issues such as censorship and the Los Angeles protests – with the police violence, economic inequality, and calls for racial justice – byproducts of US and British intervention in Latin America, and all around the world.

Sanchez Effect is a journalistic rebellion. RT’s flagship program is led by Rick Sanchez, the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning newsman who’s made a career out of defying the status quo. “When only one side of a story is permitted, that’s when I push harder. If Moscow is deemed off-limits, it’s precisely where I want to be. Because more often than not, truth resides in the places we’re told not to look.”
