‘Trump revealed the true nature of the empire and fast-tracked its demise’ – Patrick Henningson, founder of 21st Century Wire

On the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’ – Rick asks the million-dollar question: Is the US truly committed to a new deal with Iran? Patrick Hennignson is far from optimistic. He says the US has a history of failing to honor past agreements, and frequent “policy flips” do little to promote trust.

Together they explore how Iran has stepped up as a regional superpower, balancing military strength with moral leverage – particularly in its support for Lebanon and its strategy to keep the situation in the Middle East manageable.

Both Rick and his guest are disappointed to see a world where reproach is voiced only when some are harmed, while other nations’ suffering lingers in muted silence.

Perhaps recognizing these moral double standards could bring about the next great pivot in history – the ultimate breakdown of Western hegemony. Learn more in the latest episode, only on RT

‘Trump revealed the true nature of the empire and fast-tracked its demise’ – Patrick Henningson, founder of 21st Century Wire
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.”
