Today's guest on RT's 'Sanchez Effect'! is former CIA analyst and BERG associates CEO, Larry Johnson. Rick and his guest waste no time breaking down the Middle East and Ukraine conflicts, with Rick saying he believes the Russians want to finish off Ukraine, but Kiev won't back away from its escalation against civilian targets. Larry calls Kiev's weekend drone barrage a 'pyrrhic victory' as Moscow's retaliation will certainly make Zelensky regret his decision. On Iran, Rick poses the question of whether an uprising in the Islamic Republic is possible amid such instability there. Larry says - no chance. Iranian society has become united, with 98% of them now supporting their government - and despite all Washington's efforts to divide them. Rick and Larry also discussed the recent Ansar Allah advances against the Yemeni government and Saudi Arabia. The former CIA analyst reminds Rick that the U.S. and other Saudi friends are not there to help the Kingdom, so perhaps the Houthis might make a move on Riyadh quite soon.
