Sanchez Effect

‘Trump will make a desperate play and Iran will come out a major winner of this war in the long run’ – Jiang Xueqin

‘Trump wants D-Day, he is in a desperate situation and will make a desperate play. But Iran will come out a major winner of this war in the long run.’ – Jiang Xueqin

In this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect, Rick and his guest talk predictions, the specialty of Jiang Xueqin, an accomplished academic and the host of the YouTube show ‘Predictive History’.

Professor Jiang explains that Trump is desperate for two things: public support and congressional approval of funding of war in Iran. He thinks that such desperation is pushing Trump to launch this senseless, limited invasion of Iran, which will produce two potential results: the successful takeover of Iran’s islands in the Persian Gulf or the islands will become the final resting place of the invading US troops. And, he stresses, either scenario will cause anti-Iranian sentiment to grow. The professor has also predicted huge chaos in world’s economy and the downfall of the ‘American empire’.

‘While Trump’s army is out of the reach of Iranian rockets, the allies have to clean up his sh*t’ – Rudi Kennes

‘Trump calls on us to go to the Strait of Hormuz and clean up the mess. While his own army is out of the reach of Iranian rockets, the allies have to clean up his sh*t’ – a member of the European Parliament.

In this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’ Rick looks at the European Union’s policies with Belgian lawmaker Rudi Kennes. He is one of the few European politicians who is shocked with how the EU’s leaders handle their duties. He agrees with Rick that it can be described in one sentence: ‘shooting themselves in the foot’.

In terms of the war on Iran, he says that it was clear that the country is not going to succumb to the same scenario as Venezuela because Tehran’s leadership had planned for the conflict and geography rules out any ground invasion. Kennes says that despite the EU publicly proclaiming its distance from the war on Iran, many members of the bloc and the UK are heavily involved.

He says it is because the European leadership emerged from industry and now their lobbyists own them, especially military manufacturers.

‘The latest leak on the talks is coming out of Israel, but I find it hard to believe’ – Garland Nixon

In this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect, Rick invites veteran journalist Garland Nixon and former US Marine Corps officer Scott Ritter to discuss recent events around the war on Iran. They even sit next to a big map of the region so you can visually understand the developments better.  

There is talk of an upcoming US ground invasion of Iran, which Nixon finds insane considering the mountainous terrain of the country – ‘Iran has geographical advantages impossible to overcome’.  

Scott Ritter is also pessimistic about ‘Epic Fury’ as he says ‘the optics are horrible for the Navy’. The USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier has faced disaster after disaster throughout the whole operation and even before – could it be sabotage? Who knows!

What Ritter knows is ‘this is supposed to be the most advanced ship in the world but it is not designed to fight a war’.

‘Sanctions against Russia were absolute suicide in plunging the bloc into huge trouble’ – EU lawmaker

In the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, we dive into how the European Union and the Ukrainian conflict have been overshadowed by the chaos in the Middle East. Our guest, Slovak MEP Lubos Blaha, argues that the EU has shot itself in the foot by cutting off Russian resources, leaving it economically and militarily drained. The turmoil in the Strait of Hormuz has spelled disaster for the bloc.

Blaha says EU officials should urgently rethink their strategy and engage in talks with Russia, but he fears common sense is a thing of the past for Brussels. Say goodbye to rationality and hello to a new era of insanity! How long can the EU hang on with this mindset, especially as the US-Israeli war with Iran shows no signs of letting up?

Rick also sheds light on Trump’s latest flip-flop – now claiming the US is in talks with Iran right after issuing ultimatums and vowing to obliterate its power infrastructure. Is there any truth left, or just a deck full of lies? Tune in for all the latest, only on RT!

‘Israel’s fifth column in the US doesn’t see a difference between Israel’s interests and America’s interests’ - Scott Horton

‘Israel’s fifth column in the US doesn’t see a difference between Israel’s interests and America’s interests. The flea wags the dog because of democracy, right?’ - Scott Horton.

In this episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’ we hear from RT correspondent Steve Sweeney who was, in the words of one expert, ‘deliberately targeted’ by the IDF, when an artillery shell exploded only a few steps away from him. He is very fortunate and grateful to have only received shrapnel wounds on his arms and not lost his life.

Today, we also heard from Scott Horton, famous American author, director of the Libertarian Institute and host of The Scott Horton Show. He commented on the recent ban on Rick Sanchez’s channel on YouTube, calling the company a ‘monopolistic search engine.’ He also discussed US claims that Iran posed an imminent threat, advising people to remember Washington’s rhetoric before the invasion of Iraq, when the American government used the same playbook.

‘The best thing Trump can do is to declare a victory and leave. But donors won’t be happy’ – Stanislav Krapivnik

In this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’ Rick brings former US army officer Stanislav Krapivnik and a big map of the Middle East. They take a look at the potential outcomes of a possible US ground invasion of Iran, with Donald Trump recently saying that he’s ‘not afraid of’ a second Vietnam. Krapivnik says the best option is impossible - an invasion through the North, via Kurdistan and Azerbaijan. The former officer says that the Kurds have already rejected the idea of getting involved in this mess; while Azerbaijan send humanitarian aid to Tehran, rather than threats of an invasion. Another option is to attack through Iraq and Kuwait – but Krapivnik dismisses this idea, highlighting that Iraqi militia in the region attack US forces 24/7. The final option – could a landing through the Persian Gulf and heavily mountainous area be possible? Krapivnik says yes… if the US drafts one million servicemen and sends them into Iran.
