‘Putin shows same restraint as Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis’ – historian, peace researcher Daniele Ganser

‘Putin shows same restraint as Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis: If not for his patience we would have had WWIII already’ – historian, peace researcher Daniele Ganser.

On the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’ Mr. Ganser critiques Biden for escalating tensions by allowing strikes into Russian territory, a move that could have spiraled into global chaos. He says Putin’s strategic use of the Oreshnik hypersonic missile sent an unmistakable warning to European capitals.

Ganser also points out how history has a way of repeating itself – like with the US and Europe’s false pretenses in conflicts over the years – Iraq, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Libya... the list goes on. Perhaps what we see now in Poland and alleged airspace violations across Europe is just the same old tune?

Rick expresses disbelief at Trump’s latest claim that Kiev can reclaim its lost territories, musing whether this delusion could push Russian forces all the way to Odessa. Ganser chuckles, quipping that if he were Zelensky, he’d surrender to Moscow just to stave off further losses until the Black Sea slips totally from Ukraine’s grasp.

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.”
