Trump does not understand he is isolating the US and contributing to the fast demise of Western world leadership – Jan Oberg

In the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, we dive into the tug-of-war between war and peace with our guest, who points out that for DC and European capitals, war is often the default button. For Europeans, it’s sometimes the only option since they’ve grown accustomed to dancing to Washington’s tune. Meanwhile, the US is getting a bit too comfortable wielding its exceptionalism like a magic wand, intervening wherever it fancies. But remember, you can’t always outrun the law and the time to pay your debts always comes. Humanity stands at a crossroads: embrace a multipolar world or continue to bully the globe – our guest thinks this choice spells disaster for the US.

Director of the independent Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research, Jan Oberg, predicts the dollar will crumble, NATO may splinter, and the EU could face an identity crisis if it doesn’t get its act together quickly. Plus, Rick reveals the latest on the drama and infighting brewing within the EU. Curious for more? Catch the latest episode exclusively on RT!

Trump does not understand he is isolating the US and contributing to the fast demise of Western world leadership – Jan Oberg
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.”
