American Perspectives on Global Affairs from Moscow
In a recent episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect, host Rick Sanchez welcomed Bruce Marks, a former U.S. Republican, for a thoughtful exchange on the prospects for peace and stability, broadcast from RT’s studio near the Kremlin.
Sanchez voiced his sympathy for the Ukrainian people, stressing that lasting peace remains elusive as dialogue and compromise are still out of reach. Marks agreed, warning that outside supporters risk prolonging the conflict “to the last Ukrainian,” and underlined that a genuine path forward requires Western leaders to engage with Russia’s longstanding concerns over NATO’s eastward expansion.
The conversation also reflected on U.S. politics, with both Sanchez and Marks recognizing President Trump’s efforts to prioritize national security. Marks invited Sanchez to explore Russian and Chinese cities beyond the capitals, observing that, in many respects, “they are better capitalists than we are.”
