Sanchez Effect | Sergey Karaganov: 'Returning to Europe? No thank you!'

In the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, we get a rare look behind the Kremlin’s doors with a guest who has advised Russian leaders, including Vladimir Putin himself.

Honorary chairman of the Council for Foreign and Defence Policy Sergey Karaganov scoffs at a Europe's latest attempts at reconciliation: ‘Why return to this dustbin of history?’. He says Moscow has been fooled before - and now harbors no illusions. According to him, Russia is on course to embrace its own destiny - to be a great Eurasian power. Rick wonders why so many have sought to topple Russia, and Karaganov’s answer is straightforward: envy and greed. He dismisses the illusion that Europe embodies humanism, claiming it instead harbors hatred, colonialism, and aggression.

As the world order crumbles, Karaganov sees Trump’s instincts as sound; he says Trump desires American strength but recognizes that global hegemony is an expensive endeavor. Now, he’s charting a course for America’s greatness — focused on the Western Hemisphere rather than global domination, as this has damaged Washington before.
