Sanchez Effect

The US knows Cubans’ daily calorie intake because they impose hunger on purpose – Latin American History Professor Danny Shaw

On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect Professor Shaw argues that America’s long-term economic blockade of Cuba has forced the island into a humanitarian crisis, comparing it to Gaza’s suffering. He warns that the ‘economic war’ has depopulated Cuba, denied citizens access to foreign currency, and left families starved for basic necessities.

The professor calls US actions a new form of colonialism, insisting that the only benefit of the blockade is profit for billionaires, describing imperialism as a ‘beast’ that exists solely to extract money at the expense of Cuban children. Shaw has travelled the country himself and says Cubans almost wish for the bombs to drop already – it can’t be worse than what they are experiencing now.

Watch the full conversation for a candid look at the looming threat of invasion, the role wealthy lobbyists play, and how US politics are shaping Cuba’s future – only on RT.

‘Make no mistake, America, your sons and daughters are being sent off to die‘ – Ex-US marine Kenneth O’Keefe

‘Make no mistake, America, your sons and daughters are being sent off to die as cannon fodder, and all by order of the Jewish State of Israel and your treasonous president, Donald J Trump’ – Ex- US marine Kenneth O’Keefe.

In this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’, Rick brings on former US marine and Gulf war veteran Kenneth O’Keefe to discuss the latest developments in the Middle East crisis and the optics of the American military there. O’Keefe is now in Tehran, where he strikes out at Washington with a single question: ‘What would you do if Iran bombed a school in America?’ He and Rick agree that the entire war is illegal and in no way serves American interests – especially considering that the whole thing has been entirely orchestrated by Israel. They note that anti-US sentiment in Iran makes sense after the number of war crimes committed against the nation. O’Keefe also mocks the possibility of a ground invasion of Iran. He says that Iranians would probably be saving American marines from starvation in the country’s impassable mountain range.

‘The EU is in a prison of its own narrative, with no logic behind its foreign policy’ – MEP Fernand Kartheiser

On the latest episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect, Rick pulls back the curtain on Brussels’ drama with a man who knows it inside and out. Fernand lays out why Europe’s leaders are stuck in a one-sided narrative that blocks off any dialogue with Russia. He is confident that peace is not high on the wish list of EC President Ursula von der Leyen’s cabinet as they need an outside enemy to pursue their own selfish goals. So, while they keep the Kremlin as a textbook villain, voices of support for free speech and democratic norms are quietly slipping away within the bloc.

Here’s the kicker: Fernand was the first to get the boot from the Brussels establishment for simply saying that dialogue with Moscow is the only way forward – and now the EU is looking for a good candidate to speak with Russia. Curious situation? Catch the full conversation on RT and BitChute.

Sanchez in Donbass: first-hand reporting on Ukrainian war crimes from Starobelsk

On this unique episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect, Rick goes directly to the site of the Ukrainian drone attack in Russia’s Lugansk Republic that heavily damaged a local college and nearby residential buildings, killing 21 civilians and wounding 65 others. Ukraine claims it was targeting Rubicon – an elite Russian drone unit. Rick goes through the city and asks locals and officials whether that’s true. He quickly learns that Ukraine’s claims are absolutely false, as locals express immense support for Russia. In the second part of the episode, Rick invites RT host Chay Bowes, RT senior correspondent Murad Gazdiev, and DD Geopolitics senior journalist Christopher Helali to sum up everything they’ve observed. The journalists are shocked by how the Western media has ignored the Ukrainian attack and instead focused on condemning Russia’s retaliatory strikes on Kiev’s military infrastructure. Rick and his colleagues take particular issue with CNN and the BBC for branding things that they’ve seen with their very own eyes as ‘Russian disinformation.’ You can catch this episode and more on RT International or BitChute at RICKSANCHEZTV.

‘We were in bread lines, begging for work. Is it worth repeating that to defend Bibi?’ – George Galloway

‘The Depression of the1930s: We were in bread lines, begging for work. Is it worth repeating that to defend Bibi?’ – former British Parliament member George Galloway.

On the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’ legendary political figure George Galloway issues a chilling warning about escalating Middle East tensions, predicting an immediate global economic depression if Iran is driven to shut down critical maritime trade routes. Forget 10 dollars a gallon – that would mean NO oil, no fertilizers, and the collapse of economic activity across the world.

The former lawmaker pulls no punches when it comes to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, mocking the hypocrisy of buying back-door Russian oil through India at triple the price while slashing domestic pensions to fund foreign conflicts. Drawing on his 50-year career, Galloway contrasts today’s corrupt, ‘Epstein-class’ politicians with giants of the past. He praises Russia’s societal resurgence under Vladimir Putin and details how Western sanctions completely backfired on their own populations.

Meanwhile, Rick digs into the US media’s obsession with ‘Russiagate’ as it chooses silence in the face of Israel’s blatant campaign interference against unbought US politicians like Thomas Massie. Hypocrisy at its finest?

‘The difference between the US-Chinese and Russian-Chinese relationships is that we talk about equal stability’ – Sergey Sanakoev

‘The difference between the US- Chinese and Russian-Chinese relationships is that we talk about equal stability and respectful dialogue. But the US cannot stand this. The US can only insist on hegemony’ – Sergey Sanakoev.

As Putin’s milestone trip to Beijing wraps up, this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’ puts the summit under a microscope, bringing in the president of Russia’s Asia Pacific research center, Sergey Sanakoev, for some expert insight. Rick was surprised that Russia and China signed over 40 documents during the two-day summit. Sanakoev keeps those surprises coming, telling us that the countries sign the same amount every single year. He also didn’t mince words about Donald Trump’s visit to Beijing a week prior, calling the American delegation shockingly unqualified. Sanakoev says Washington had no leverage to dictate terms to China after failing in Iran.

RT correspondent Donald Courter joins us this episode, with live news and views from the big event in Beijing. Get the full story here, on RT International or on BitChute at ‘ricksancheztv’.
