‘Cheney’s policy was asserting unipolar dominance. And that’s the most tragic choice America made.’ – historian and author Jeff Rich.
On the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’, Rick and Jeff open the history books. Jeff argues that the roots of the Ukraine conflict trace back to policies touted by Dick Cheney in the 1990s. He contrasts Cheney’s warmongering with James Baker’s peace-seeking vision at the end of the Cold War, lamenting that Cheney’s influence ultimately triumphed. The result: the conflict sparked by Washington in Ukraine. While Cheney sought to weaken the Soviet Union and Russia, Jeff suggests his legacy tells a different story – one where Russia remains resilient.
Meanwhile, in America, tensions are brewing between media figures such as Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro, while regular folks push back against politicians backed by the Israeli lobby. Rick covers all that and also the latest developments on the ground, including reports of Ukrainian soldiers surrendering en masse. Tune in for all this and more, exclusively on RT!
