Sanchez Effect | Craig Murray, British ex-diplomat: 'The Western democratic system is phony'

In the latest episode of the ‘Sanchez Effect’ Mr. Murray critiques the decline in the caliber of European politicians. Today's leaders seem less intellectual, often elevated by more influential figures lurking behind the scenes. Rick questions how they manage to sell their 'offensive' policies to the public—convincing regular folks that their taxes should flow to Ukraine and Israel instead of supporting citizen welfare. According to Mr. Murray, the media bears much of the blame; their coverage skims over the truth about these conflicts.

They also dive into the recent UNGA debacle, where Trump has done a complete 180 on what once symbolized U.S. soft power. His surprising hardline stance on Ukraine also leaves many bewildered—Craig argues it's completely disconnected from reality, given Kiev's inability to reclaim all its territory. He believes Trump might be delusional. But Rick gives him the benefit of the doubt – perhaps it is all a scam and Trump simply aims to divert, get attention and create headlines.
