‘When the dust settles, what happens is that China has much more influence over that whole region’ – Chris Martenson

In this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect, Rick goes straight to the straits issue: Yemen’s Ansar Allah has announced a naval blockade of Saudi Arabia, pushing another global choke point into the zone of uncertainty. Chris Martenson, independent economist and founder of PeakProsperity.com joins the discussion. He says the US is playing with fire and their aggressive actions are inching the world to the brink of a depression. Chris thinks ‘the strait of Hormuz had to be opened month ago’ to dodge that disastrous result. Mr. Sanchez and Mr. Martenson walk through each country in the region, scrutinising their future place. Also on deck: What will happen to dollar and what’s the nation’s fate? Find out here on RT or on BitChute at ‘ricksancheztv’.

‘When the dust settles, what happens is that China has much more influence over that whole region’ – Chris Martenson
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.”
