Sanchez Effect

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.

There is precedent for Putin talking to Xi, saying we may be forced to do something a little bit more aggressive – Ray McGovern

In this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect, Rick talks to former CIA analyst Ray McGovern. Rick was fascinated to see many experts like Scott Ritter and Daniel Davis saying that Russia is about to retaliate in response to the massive EU-backed Ukrainian drone raids. But Ray remains skeptical, he says that Putin is very “cool” and can’t be provoked. He insists that he doesn’t see Russia escalating while winning on the ground in Ukraine. McGovern says that Putin is confident that the European people won’t allow their unpopular leaders to spark a major conflict against Russia. Ray also shares his experience of briefing US Presidents - adding that Israeli influence was already causing trouble for Washington in 20th century.

‘CIA directors say: ‘sure, sure, Mr. President’ and then they laugh behind his back’ – John Kiriakou

‘CIA directors become more powerful than a president. They say: ‘sure, sure, Mr. President’ and then they laugh behind his back, because they know he’s going to cycle out.’ – John Kiriakou.

In this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’ former CIA analyst John Kiriakou and host of RT’s ‘Deep State’ shares how one of the strongest spy agencies of the world abuses its power... to get rich. Kiriakou says that many successful American companies are actually run by former CIA agents and leaders or their relatives. Blood for money? Examples exist like civil wars in Latin America that Kiriakou says were ignited by the CIA to economically benefit from the suffering of locals. What about inexperienced presidents such as Barack Obama, well, according to Kiriakou, that’s who the spy agencies really like, revealing how long-standing bureaucrats use them to promote their own interests all while the CIA spies on its own citizens.
