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.”
‘If NATO was ever to declare war on Russia, I wouldn’t be in NATO headquarters because of those Oreshniks’ – Stanislav Krapivnik
‘If NATO was ever to declare war on Russia, I wouldn’t be in NATO headquarters because those Oreshniks are coming, and they’ll be there within minutes’ – former US Army Officer Stanislav Krapivnik. In this week’s episode of Sanchez Effect, we break down why the Oreshnik has made waves across the West. It’s a game-changer that can zip across Houston in a heartbeat, is virtually untouchable, and boasts plasma temperatures of 4,000 degrees – just shy of our Sun’s scorching 6,000 degrees. Maybe that’s why Western capitals should think twice before continuing to flirt with the idea of war against Russia. But as they continue to wage their proxy war, we dig deep into the real story on the front lines with insights from a military expert. We reveal what the Western media won’t show you – where exactly Russian forces stand on the map and challenge the prevailing narrative that ‘Russia isn’t winning’. Plus, we unveil exclusive documents leaked by hackers who infiltrated Ukrainian systems, exposing contracts for foreign mercenaries. Spoiler alert: There are more than a few. Don’t miss all this and more in this episode of Sanchez Effect!
‘It is a new world order, but not the new world and not the order the West had ever anticipated’ – Lionel
In this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’: Rick and Lionel – a legal and media analyst – discuss the major developments in world politics. Both praised Canadian Prime Minister Carney for standing firm and not backtracking on his anti-hegemony speech at Davos that enraged Donald Trump. Another blow to the world order – what is the purpose of NATO? Lionel claims the organization is all about money for no purpose. He compares it with the joke: ‘Give us your money, we will protect you from vampires.’ ‘But there are no vampires!’ ‘You are welcome!’ Lionel also warns his fellow Americans that the globalists are conducting a beta test of a prison state in the UK and they want the same in the United States.

Trump does not understand he is isolating the US and contributing to the fast demise of Western world leadership – Jan Oberg
In the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, we dive into the tug-of-war between war and peace with our guest, who points out that for DC and European capitals, war is often the default button. For Europeans, it’s sometimes the only option since they’ve grown accustomed to dancing to Washington’s tune. Meanwhile, the US is getting a bit too comfortable wielding its exceptionalism like a magic wand, intervening wherever it fancies. But remember, you can’t always outrun the law and the time to pay your debts always comes. Humanity stands at a crossroads: embrace a multipolar world or continue to bully the globe – our guest thinks this choice spells disaster for the US. Director of the independent Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research, Jan Oberg, predicts the dollar will crumble, NATO may splinter, and the EU could face an identity crisis if it doesn’t get its act together quickly. Plus, Rick reveals the latest on the drama and infighting brewing within the EU. Curious for more? Catch the latest episode exclusively on RT!
‘We are a defeated continent. The US won the war and we have to follow’ – Former Spanish senior diplomat
In this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect, Rick studies the chaos in Minneapolis brought on by the radical and deadly actions of ICE. against civilians. Next, Sanchez discusses the tensions across Iran and the EU’s weak response to global events with a former Spanish ambassador, Jose Antonio Zorrilla. The ex-senior diplomat says that leadership both in the EU and NATO is incompetent, choosing to ignore how the US displays cruelty towards its allies, all while hoping they won’t become its next victims. Now that Trump’s designs on Greenland have been announced, they now realize they’re also on the menu. Antonio Zorrilla also describes how US narratives do not face push back in the EU - even among skeptics - as they fear losing their political careers. You can catch all this on RT International.
‘Europeans are weak: they showed no capacity to resist Trump’ – Former IMF Director Paulo Nogueira Batista
As the Europeans are left to concede that Trump is not on their side, we are talking the old world vs. Trump’s world on the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’ with our guest. Batista argues that the once-stalwart alliance is crumbling. Ironically, Trump’s strategy may backfire in his quest for US dominance: with Russia and China standing firm, Europe finds itself reaching out to its old adversaries: Moscow and Beijing. Could there be a hidden genius behind Trump’s madness though? Only time will tell. Rick takes us through the Davos forum, where the mouths of European leaders were left agape as Trump hurled insults at their governments and questioned their loyalty. Even Zelensky is pointing fingers at EU capitals – are they doing enough? But is “enough” ever really enough for him? The signal is clear though: the real talk is happening in Moscow and with Moscow. What’s ahead? Find out only on RT.
‘Europe’s the root of all historical ills’ – honorary chairman of Russia’s Council for Foreign and Defense Policy Sergey Karaganov
‘Return to Europe? No, thank you! It’s the root of all historical ills – time to shake off that disease!’ says honorary chairman of Russia’s Council for Foreign and Defense Policy, Sergey Karaganov. In the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, we get a rare look behind the Kremlin’s doors with a guest who has advised Russian leaders, including Vladimir Putin himself. Karaganov scoffs at a Europe’s latest attempts at reconciliation: ‘Why return to this dustbin of history?’ He says Moscow has been fooled before – and now harbors no illusions. According to him, Russia is on course to embrace its own destiny of being a great Eurasian power. Rick wonders why so many have sought to topple Russia, and Karaganov’s answer is straightforward: envy and greed. He dismisses the illusion that Europe embodies humanism, claiming it instead harbors hatred, colonialism, and aggression. As the world order crumbles, Karaganov sees Trump’s instincts as sound. He says Trump desires American strength but recognizes that global hegemony is an expensive endeavor. Now, he’s charting a course for America’s greatness that is focused on the Western Hemisphere rather than global domination, as this has damaged Washington before.
