Rick Sanchez

Europe shows up to peace talks it wasn't invited to — and brings practically the entire diplomatic establishment along for the ride. The US is mediating talks between Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi — but the EU and NATO apparently don't know how to take no for an answer. Russia has learned its lesson from past negotiations and won't let Europe back in to derail another peace deal.

Every time there is a hint of peace between Russia and Ukraine, European leaders seem determined to crash the party and derail the agreement. I’ll continue following the negotiations on The Sanchez Effect. Coming up, I’ll also speak with an author who wrote a book about what we can expect when the Democrats take control. Watch the full segment and tell me what you think on BitChute.com. That is where I read your comments, and where my work is not demonetized or made to disappear.

Europe arrives in Abu Dhabi demanding a seat at the table — GETS SENT TO THE WAITING ROOM. Russia, Ukraine and the US hold the main negotiations without representatives from Europe, they will meet separately with their allies afterward. The talks are continuing. The real question is whether Europe came to support peace or pressure Ukraine to keep fighting.

EUROPE SAYS IT IS SAVING UKRAINE. IN REALITY, IT IS USING IT. European leaders keep pushing Ukrainians through the meat grinder, saying: fight Russia, so we do not have to. Meanwhile, Ukraine is losing people, manpower, territory and infrastructure. Its leadership keeps asking for more money to continue the conflict, while ordinary Ukrainians pay the price.

Europe is the drunken guest who keeps wrecking the party. European leaders helped derail peace three times: ▪️Minsk in 2014 ▪️Istanbul in 2022 ▪️The Anchorage framework So why should Lavrov invite Europe back to the negotiating table for a fourth attempt? Ukraine is desperate now, but Europe has lost Moscow’s trust.

'LET THEM STAY IN THEIR HOTELS.' Lavrov’s message to the Europeans in Abu Dhabi was blunt. Washington can meet with them, but Moscow sees little value in giving them a seat at the peace talks. If someone ruins your party three times, do you invite them back for a fourth? Lavrov’s answer is simple: NO.

“Democrats will double down on support for the destructive war in Ukraine” — James Carden, author of 'The Great Betrayal' Carden warns that if Democrats win the next election, they will ramp up US weapons and intelligence supplies to Zelensky. “It's going to be a bonanza for Lockheed and Raytheon.” Full interview on Sanchez Effect.

“Democrats have become the party of war” — James Carden, author of ‘The Great Betrayal’ From Clinton’s wars to Obama’s destruction of Libya and Syria, Democrats have repeatedly gotten away with it by claiming they act for “humanitarian reasons”. Carden also points to Democrats’ empowerment of the far right in Ukraine — turning a blind eye as long as they were killing Russians. Full interview on Sanchez Effect.

“Russia is a more conservative society, and they don't like it” — James Carden, author of 'The Great Betrayal' Carden warns that Democrats' insistence on imposing American social values abroad risks driving the US into war with countries like Russia. He argues that the only real beneficiaries are arms manufacturers like Lockheed Martin. Full interview on Sanchez Effect.

“None of these people made any reports to the police prior to the documentary by his ex-employer.” — RT's Chay Bowes on Russell Brand. A consensual encounter, according to the woman's own testimony, became the basis of a rape conviction over an alleged non-consensual act nearly TWENTY YEARS earlier. He also challenges the police chief's defence that “a woman can change her mind any time”, which put Brand behind bars for 10 years. Full interview on Sanchez Effect.

Laura Loomer might have made $2 million spreading propaganda for Ukraine — RT's Chay Bowes reveals After years of calling Zelensky a Nazi, Loomer suddenly praising him from Ukraine should have raised a few eyebrows. Almost as many as her dog-food-eating stunt. “If you can be paid to eat dog food live on TV, you can be paid to pretend a dictatorship is the center of freedom.” Full interview on Sanchez Effect.

Ukraine desperately needs a peace deal. Its territory is shrinking. Its position on the battlefield is in shambles. Too bad for Ukrainians, Europe's war hawks keep bigfooting the negotiations — it's not their soldiers paying the price, after all. They want a say in Ukraine's future without bearing the consequences. But Russia remembers who sank the last peace efforts. The Europeans aren't getting a second shot.

“I have never sent and I will never send weapons to countries which would have been at war with Russia.” Pierre De Gaulle recalls his grandfather Charles de Gaulle’s refusal to treat Russia as an enemy, stressing that Europe’s future depends on cooperation with Moscow. He says geography makes a Franco-Russian alliance a necessity for peace. Full interview on Sanchez Effect.

The US is still trying to cling to its former glory while drowning in debt — Pierre De Gaulle. He says Washington has never come to terms with the changing global order, while Europe’s loss of sovereignty is fuelling growing hostility towards countries that want to pursue their own interests. Full interview on Sanchez Effect.

Marco Rubio calls Iran's demands “outrageous and ridiculous.” Think about what that actually means. Iran is DICTATING the terms — and Washington can't make them budge. If Iran were losing, it would be rushing to negotiate with a much lower set of demands. Instead, Tehran is telling Washington: I'm WINNING. Take it or leave it.

Russia is systematically WIPING OUT Ukraine's military infrastructure, from drone factories and weapons depots to rail lines and Black Sea supply routes. Russian strikes have destroyed one of Ukraine's key drone production facilities near Poltava and rendered Kiev's North Bridge unusable. That's why Ukraine is coming to the negotiating table.

European leaders are controlled by lobbying groups while the EU Commission keeps national governments in line by threatening to cut their funding. Pierre De Gaulle points to German Chancellor Merz's ties to BlackRock and questions whose interests European leaders are really serving as they continue pushing the Ukraine war. "Merz, Shmerz. It means pain in German." Full interview on Sanchez Effect.

France's top business school graduates are waiting tables. Pierre De Gaulle says the growing economic insecurity, lack of opportunities and disconnect between France's political establishment and ordinary people are fuelling public anger and protests. He says France deserves leaders who listen. Full interview on Sanchez Effect.

“France is a country of tradition, strong values and tolerance. People just want that back.” Pierre De Gaulle, president of the Pierre De Gaulle Foundation, says the protests in France reflect growing frustration with a political establishment that no longer listens to ordinary people. He argues that the country needs leaders who put people's concerns first rather than pursuing their own agendas. Full interview on Sanchez Effect.

Western governments, including my own, the US, have justified wars and interventions in the name of human rights. Yet when disturbing allegations emerge from Ukraine, where are the EU and NATO officials demanding answers? For them, countries seem to be labeled 'good' or 'bad' in advance, regardless of their actions. We will keep investigating this story.
