‘20 years from now anybody who is attached to or associated with Zelensky is going to look like a fool’ – Robert Barnes
Published 24 Jun, 2026 06:27‘20 years from now, when the history books are written, anybody who is attached to or associated with Zelensky is going to look like a fool and an idiot. The guy is a disgrace. The country is falling apart’ – Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Robert Barnes.
In this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect, Rick looks at how Vladimir Zelensky keeps burning down Ukraine’s relations with its neighbors. That’s as Kiev has recently been provoking Belarus. On top of that, Zelensky was stripped of a prestigious state award by Poland after renaming an elite Ukrainian unit after an infamous pro-Nazi brigade from World War Two. Rick also got to discuss the Iran war and US internal affairs with Robert Barnes, a former lawyer for Donald Trump. The legal expert said the American president has strayed from his battle against the deep state, but there is hope. According to Barnes, J.D. Vance is still fighting to undermine hawkish policies, with the current talks being an indication that the pro-peace Vance has won at least a temporary victory over figures such as pro-war Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
