Sanchez Effect | Professor Jeffrey Sachs has a reality check for Washington

On the latest episode of 'Sanchez Effect,' renowned 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 U.S. 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 U.S. officials insisted their military was doing well, before ultimately losing.

Sachs also raises concerns about potential U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iranian oil and gas fields, as he says that with the destruction of globally critical supplies, the world's economy could suffer for years.

'Trump? That's your ally? You are putting all your chips with him?' – that's a question that Sachs has for U.S. partner states in the Gulf, warning: 'This is crazy.'

We also examine Trump's machinations for Cuba, which he insists the U.S. can seize. We delve into this topic with RT correspondent Donald Courter, who has just returned from the Caribbean nation. Don't miss the latest, here on RT!
