‘The notion that Iran can be brought to its knees in weeks makes no sense’ – Professor Jeffrey Sachs

On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, renowned Columbia University Professor Jeffrey Sachs has a reality check for Washington. He argues that Iran, with its vast, mountainous territory, large population, advanced missiles and intricate underground tunnels, is no easy target, especially under the tight deadlines set by Trump.

Sachs questions whether the US president, with his hubristic claims about America’s role in the conflict, is either delusional or an outright liar. History has a way of revealing the truth, as evidenced by the Vietnam War, when US officials insisted their military was doing well, before ultimately losing.

We also examine Trump’s machinations for Cuba, which he insists the US can seize. We delve into this topic with RT correspondent Donald Courter, who has just returned from the Caribbean nation. Don’t miss the latest, here on RT!
