‘The Iran war caused a restructuring of the global balance of power in favor of Iran, Russia, and China’ – David Pyne
Published 23 Sep, 2026 17:24On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, Rick sits down with David Pyne, US Security Task Force deputy director, for an unfiltered look at American foreign policy under Trump. From ignoring US intelligence on Iran to the ‘strategic defeat’ reshaping the global power balance, Pyne pulls zero punches. He says that Trump chose to believe Netanyahu over his own intelligence agencies and argues that the US would lose a direct war against Russia or China right now. He also explains how pushing Russia into a corner backfired, transforming Ukraine into an authoritarian state.
Together with Rick, they dissect what the US and Iranian presidents have said at the UN General Assembly, with news analysis you don’t want to miss. Only on RT.
