In this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect Rick
discusses the Iran war with Trita Parsi, co-founder and executive vice
president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Amid news
and speculation about a possible US ground invasion of Iran, Parsi says
it would be a disastrous mistake for Trump because right now, he still
has the backing of many Americans, with Fox News and legacy media ‘misinformation’ helping him.
However,
when US ground troops start dying, he will lose his own base. Also in
this episode, a look at the possibility of an off-ramp for Trump, with
Rick asking whether his ability to read the room might help the US
escape the situation and save the president’s ratings. Trita Parsi
discussed how everything depends on which room Trump is reading, with
him having a weakness for the Israeli lobby.
