Sanchez Effect

RT

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.”

“With Bibi whispering into Trump’s ear, Trump is stuck in another forever war” – Ali Akbar Dareini

“With Bibi whispering into Trump’s ear, ‘one more push and you will win,’ Trump is stuck in another forever war.” – Ali Akbar Dareini, writer and researcher at the Centre for Strategic Studies in Tehran.

In the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’ Mr. Dareini blasts the US president and his administration for blowing off peace agreements, and lays out why the Pentagon can’t seem to break Tehran’s will.

He says instead of surrendering, Iran has cleverly weaponized the “art of war,” by shutting down a vital maritime choke point, and despite the not-so-subtle Israeli influence that wants to drag America into another conflict it can’t win.

Later, Rick and Chay Bowes expose the crumbling facade of Western media. You won’t believe what passes for journalism these days, and the questions reporters ask. Tune in to RT to find out.

‘Iran is another forever war that we were promised would never happen again’ – American journalist Ethan Levins

‘Iran is another forever war that we were promised would never happen again. And it’s going bad’ – American journalist Ethan Levins.

In the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, Ethan Levins delivers a brutal reality check on the state of America today. While Washington channels billions into overseas conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, the American people are forced to buy groceries on credit, watch the housing market slip away, and survive without basic healthcare. He says the US is not the world’s police anymore. Washington has turned into the biggest warmonger and Americans aren’t buying into the appeal of foreign interventions anymore. He explains how the alliance of China, Russia, and Iran is pushing back, proving the US military can no longer dominate like it did. Tune in.

‘Forces abroad don’t want a strong India because it can’t be manipulated’ - former Indian Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal

On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, Ambassador Kanwal Sibal exposes how Western media and Big Tech actively manipulate global perspectives to suppress rising nations. He calls out Meta, and the “anti-government” algorithms that suppressed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s midnight address during protests. He explains how, fed up with its pro-Western narrative, India has threatened to strip Meta of its safe harbor protections to defend national sovereignty. He fiercely rejects claims of Indian opportunism, defending New Delhi’s delicate diplomatic balance with Russia, Iran, and Israel as smart, independent statecraft. Mr. Sibal also critiques Washington’s interventionist history, marveling at Iran’s unexpected military resilience. He breaks down what could happen, should Iran prevail in the standoff with the US.

‘These two falcons, namely Zelensky and Netanyahu, are out of the control of the United States’ - Radhika Desai

Today we hear from Radhika Desai, director of the Geopolitical Economics Research Group at the University of Manitoba, for some deep analysis on two major crises shaping our world: the Ukraine and Iran conflicts. Our guest is quite confident that Donald Trump’s latest pivot toward peace is a sign of desperation since he cannot admit defeat, as that would undermine the Republicans in the November midterm elections. She also thinks that recent Ukrainian terror attacks against an Italian restaurant in Moscow and a crowded beach in southern Russia demonstrate Kiev’s collapsing position on the front lines. Watch the whole episode here on RT or on BitChute at ‘ricksancheztv’.
