Sanctions against Russia were absolute suicide in plunging the bloc into huge trouble’ – EU lawmaker




In the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, we dive into how the European Union and the Ukrainian conflict have been overshadowed by the chaos in the Middle East. Our guest, Slovak MEP Lubos Blaha, argues that the EU has shot itself in the foot by cutting off Russian resources, leaving it economically and militarily drained. The turmoil in the Strait of Hormuz has spelled disaster for the bloc.

Blaha says EU officials should urgently rethink their strategy and engage in talks with Russia, but he fears common sense is a thing of the past for Brussels. Say goodbye to rationality and hello to a new era of insanity! How long can the EU hang on with this mindset, especially as the US-Israeli war with Iran shows no signs of letting up?

Rick also sheds light on Trump’s latest flip-flop – now claiming the US is in talks with Iran right after issuing ultimatums and vowing to obliterate its power infrastructure. Is there any truth left, or just a deck full of lies?
