On the latest ‘Sanchez Effect’, Rick sits down with two professors at the Valdai Discussion Club to dissect a fracturing global order. Mr. Pacini is not optimistic, saying European elites have launched a massive cognitive operation against their own citizens. They have bought into their own anti-Russian rhetoric so deeply that they are arming Europe into a corner where conflict feels like the only logical outcome.
Emeritus Professor of History at University College Cork, Geoffrey Roberts is more positive – saying it’s hard to believe in a nuclear conflict – but they both agree it’s the Russian restraint to thank for the management of escalation, not the Western warmongering provocations.
Is Europe blindly marching into a conflict its own people don't want, or will Washington pull back the reins before it’s too late? Tune in to the latest episode to learn more.
