Clips from Rick Sanchez interview with Maria Zakharova

Rick Sanchez

Jun 3
Apparently, "spokesperson" was the wrong word.

"Beg my pardon. I'm a spokeswoman."

For Maria Zakharova, gender-neutral language was not up for negotiation.

Watch my conversation with Russian FM Spokeswoman, of course, on Sanchez Effect.

Russian FM Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova thanked me for going to Starobelsk following the Ukrainian attack that killed 21 students.

But that's what journalists are supposed to do.

She says journalism is “not only about telling the truth, it's about searching for the truth” because sometimes new facts force you to revisit your reporting.

Full interview on the Sanchez Effect.

“It is our destiny.”

Maria Zakharova reflects on diplomacy, respect for other nations, and why learning a language means understanding a people's history, culture, and traditions, not just speaking their words.

Watch our full conversation on Sanchez Effect.

Superb, I have an enormous respect for Sanchez, he is an unusual creature, a truly critical thinker & someone who can see through the cold war mentality, Scott Ritter also does incredible work & strives for peace, calling this the "Russian Davos" is an affront, it has absolutely no resemblance with that awful organization of tyranny & oppression

• "Today Europe Is a Rabid Dog": Scott Ritter's Brutal Takedown of Europe and the West:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZneRKh4cjyg

"Today Europe Is a Rabid Dog." Those were among the most controversial remarks made by former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter during a panel discussion at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

In a speech that quickly drew attention, Ritter claimed that "Europe doesn't exist," argued that Europe "stands for nothing," accused Germany of returning to its militaristic past, and warned that the world is becoming increasingly dangerous as nuclear tensions rise.

Ritter also criticized U.S. foreign policy, describing American actions in Iraq as driven by regime change rather than disarmament, and issued a stark warning about nuclear conflict, arguing that once a nuclear war begins, it could escalate into global destruction.

[Mike Gorman]

A Rabid Dog indeed, how many of us older folks can even recognize a shred of the Europe we remember from our youth, from our childhood, in the 1960's & 70's there was a genuine element of humanity, of support for science, of aspiration, now there is only a hollowed-out husk, a strange anti-human push for a compelled set of weird ideas: what the fark happened to our civilization?

• “No One Else Has This” – Putin Claims Rivals Cannot Match Russia’s Weapons Production Capabilities:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=zv5n2p3kMWw

Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that Russia possesses a fully independent and advanced defense production base, claiming that “the other side does not have its own production of the kind of weapons that Russia possesses.” Speaking on modern warfare and technological development, Putin emphasized Russia’s capabilities in producing a wide range of advanced military systems domestically, without reliance on external supply chains. The remarks were made during a broader discussion on modern military technology, evolving warfare dynamics, and global security challenges at SPIEF 2026.

With Rick at the St. Petersburg Forum, before Putin's speech, where I detailed the back to back scoops revealed last week on Power Shift, the new project by Larry and myself.

Our page has been ALREADY ERASED BY YOUTUBE - which means we're doing it right.

Here we talk about the fateful Pezeshkian-Sharif phone call and the prospects towards an Islamabad Accord (before the death cult bombed it).

💬 In 2014, the people of Donbass stopped NATO expansion — American journalist about Donbass struggle

🇺🇸John Varoli
@john_varoli
, an American journalist and analyst, visited the DPR stand at #SPIEF’26 and shared his opinion on the Ukrainian conflict, as well as on propaganda in Western media

“Major media in the United States are entirely controlled by CIA, by Pentagon. And they're constantly promoting false narratives, spreading disinformation to discredit the Russian Federation, to discredit the Russian people, to demonize them, to demonize President Putin. And this is obviously, it's a big problem because most Americans, most Europeans are not getting accurate, truthful information”.
