On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect,
renowned Columbia University Professor Jeffrey Sachs has a reality
check for Washington. He argues that Iran, with its vast, mountainous
territory, large population, advanced missiles and intricate underground
tunnels, is no easy target, especially under the tight deadlines set by
Trump.
Sachs questions whether the US president, with his
hubristic claims about America’s role in the conflict, is either
delusional or an outright liar. History has a way of revealing the
truth, as evidenced by the Vietnam War, when US officials insisted their
military was doing well, before ultimately losing.
We also
examine Trump’s machinations for Cuba, which he insists the US can
seize. We delve into this topic with RT correspondent Donald Courter,
who has just returned from the Caribbean nation.
