Sanchez Effect | Vasily Prozorov, former SBU officer

On today’s ‘Sanchez Effect,’ Rick asks why Trump has been driving up tensions across the Middle East. Could it be because of Israel’s influence? Rick thinks all the evidence points in that direction.

The second major topic is corruption in Ukraine. Today, he discusses the issue with the ideal guest Vasily Prozorov, who was a high-ranking officer in the Ukrainian security services before the Maidan coup. He says that since then, corruption has become one of the pillars of the nation’s political system, but it’s not just about Ukraine, according to Prozorov. European and U.S. officials have made great efforts to corrupt the nation, so they can enrich themselves at the people’s expense. Kiev’s former colonel says that this corruption has even had global consequences, with Ukrainian weapons ending up in the hands of Middle Eastern terrorists and Latin American cartels.
