End of the Empire: ‘The US is isolating itself, and its downward ride is far less enjoyable than its rise was’ – Richard Wolff

In the latest episode, Mr. Wolff dives into the looming US economic downturn, shedding light on how Washington has trapped itself in a financial bubble, expelled low-wage migrants, and slapped tariffs on its supposedly closest allies. Trump’s unsteady economic policies are giving incentives to all countries NOT to do business with Washington. Despite this, the US remains stubbornly in denial about losing its grip on global economics, resorting to threats and bullying to assert its power. Meanwhile, countries like China, India, and Russia are standing their ground, banding together against the bully and growing richer and stronger in the process. It’s almost comical – Washington is a mouse shaking its fist at an elephant.

Meanwhile, Rick Sanchez delivers the hottest news updates: Russia convening the UN security council over the Nord Stream pipeline explosion, a US envoy reaching new lows when it comes to diplomatic faux pas, and the dollar’s significant decline. All that and more, only on RT!

Sanchez Effect is a journalistic rebellion. RT’s flagship program is led by Rick Sanchez, the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning newsman who’s made a career out of defying the status quo. “When only one side of a story is permitted, that’s when I push harder. If Moscow is deemed off-limits, it’s precisely where I want to be. Because more often than not, truth resides in the places we’re told not to look.”
