‘Czech politicians told me that the EU is worse and more bureaucratized than the Soviet system’ – Bradley Blankenship

In this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect, Rick announces a bad day for hatred. Warmongering politicians in the EU are suffering ratings losses, being slammed by their own populations in mass protests and getting toppled. The Czech Republic welcomes new Prime Minister Andrej Babis, who has already been branded as another headache for Brussels alongside Hungary and Slovakia. Journalist and columnist Bradley Blankenship, who was based in the Czech Republic for a long time, confirms that people’s opinions are changing, and hatred towards Russia is decreasing, despite the best efforts of Hollywood and post-Soviet, anti-Russian education systems. Bradley says that there is a lot of inequality in the EU that is pushing an ideological crisis within the bloc to an extreme level that could cause the union’s dissolution. Watch this and more on RT International.

‘Czech politicians told me that the EU is worse and more bureaucratized than the Soviet system’ – Bradley Blankenship
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.”
