Sanchez Effect

‘NATO summit a conference to sell weapons. It’s a corporate meeting of corporate heads. Who gets what?’ – Steven Eugene Kuhn

‘NATO summit a conference to sell weapons. It’s a corporate meeting of corporate heads. Who gets what? How are we going to split up the pie?’ – Steven Eugene Kuhn.

In this edition of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’, Rick sifts through the developments from the NATO summit in Ankara. RT correspondent Yasin Eken is in the city and says Türkiye is not happy with the bloc because it actually has done nothing for Ankara. He also highlights that NATO is still the same old organization, and all the talk about reform is no more than that. It’s still pushing for wars and making money from it.

In the second part, Rick talks to Steven Eugene Kuhn, retired US Army combat veteran, and founder of ‘Take America Back’. Kuhn also agrees that the main idea of the summit is to sell weapons and make money. He says people don’t like it and it needs to be changed through a patriotic takeover in politics. Kuhn predicts that the German AfD party will win a majority in future elections. Both Rick and Steven want Congress in their homeland – the US – to be controlled by Americans and not foreign influencers.

‘The Iran war is the greatest tragedy of Trump’s second term’ – Jeffery Albert Tucker

On the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect,’ Jeffery Tucker, founder and president of the Brownstone Institute, breaks down Donald Trump’s disastrous handling of the Iran crisis, arguing the American president broke promises and alienated his base. He explains why American patriotism has waned under Trump, highlighting the sharp decline in enthusiasm among his supporters.

Russia has liberated the key Donbass city of Konstantinovka. What’s next? Rick Sanchez and Stanislav Krapivnik explain!

In this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect, Rick sets the table aside to walk you through our big wall map of the Ukraine conflict, breaking down why taking Konstantinovka matters for the Russian advance. He’s joined by one of the most experienced military analysts, former US army officer Stanislav Krapivnik, who has been to Donbass many times. Stanislav explains that Konstantinovka gives Russia a chance to encircle all of Ukraine’s Donetsk army group, meaning they’re basically finished. He also tells Rick that the agglomeration that includes Konstantinovka is the last Ukrainian line of defence in the Donetsk People’s Republic, with nothing but unprepared fields and small villages behind it – and once this line is crossed by Russia, Ukrainian forces have no choice but to flee. Stanislav also takes us through all the other frontline developments. Watch it on RT or on BitChute ‘ricksancheztv’.

‘The Ukraine war continues because Europe wants it’ - Dr. Richard Sakwa

‘The Ukraine war continues because Europe wants it. They’re saying to Trump, ‘You had your fun in the Gulf, now up the ante!’ - Dr. Richard Sakwa.

On the latest episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect,’ Dr. Sakwa, an emeritus professor of politics at the University of Kent, breaks down the situation on the Ukrainian front. He explains how Russia’s military has taken the city of Konstantinovka but still appears to be strategically patient.

The professor outlines Moscow’s deliberate focus on infrastructure rather than civilian areas, noting that casualties have remained relatively low in comparison with how Israel has been waging its wars.

Also, Dr. Sakwa critiques the current diplomatic paralysis: no talks, and no real negotiators on the American side.

The result? Kiev attacks Moscow, and finally Moscow responds, with massive strikes on the Ukrainian capital – which we examine with videos, maps and analysis by RT correspondent Roman Kosarev.

Despite the gloom, the professor underscores the existence of unofficial, back-door dialogue. He argues that a ceasefire would be bad for Russia, yet a dignified peace for Ukraine might still emerge if all parties respect their mutual security needs. Want to know more?

‘Donbass will be the new Jerusalem for NATO’ – Matthew Hoh

Sanchez: ‘The EU needs the war to continue because that’s where they make their bread.’
Matthew Hoh: ‘Donbass will be the new Jerusalem for NATO.’

In this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect,’ Rick discusses recent major conflicts with former US Marine Corps officer and State Department official Matthew Hoh, who took part in American operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our guest told us that Iran is winning the current war, and that is why it is insisting on achieving a ceasefire in Lebanon, but Matthew also believes Israel will do whatever it takes to undermine the peace process, following widespread radicalization among its citizens. As for the Ukraine conflict, Mr. Hoh does not think Russia will escalate and strike the EU even despite the latter’s provocations. He thinks it is Brussels and not Moscow that wants another big war on the continent. That is because EU elites need an external threat to build up their support.

‘Non-deal deal for a non-war war’ – Brandon Weichert

Sanchez: ‘I’m more confused by what in the world is going on with the Strait of Hormuz and do we have a deal?’
Brandon Weichert: ‘Non-deal deal for a non-war war’.

In this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’, Rick invites columnist and author Brandon Weichert to talk about the conflict in the Middle East. Mr. Weichert says there’s nothing good for America, as Iran completely won the war and he does not see any way to change that. He also thinks the Arab states are done with the American presence in the region because those bases actually endanger them. There is also a big discussion with RT’s European correspondent Chay Bowes on Finland’s desire to deploy NATO nuclear arms on its territory. Rick and Chay mock Helsinki’s idea, saying the Finnish could get a nuclear finish. Watch the full episode here on RT or on BitChute ‘ricksancheztv’.
