That guy is not only very smart and experienced but also was able to explain complex matters in a very clear manner. Well worth the watch. Neocons have been killing our country for at least 30 years now. Rumsfeld, Kagan, Albright, Schumer, Neuland, Cheney, etc are all traitors to America. They’re evil too and have the blood of millions of innocent people on their hands. I’m confident they are or will be rotting in Hell in eternal pain.

Just finished watching this. I don’t know Jeffrey Sachs well enough to know if his assessments are accurate, it is nonetheless, very sobering. Maybe we could stop playing what he has described as an 'enormously dangerous game of Risk’? I kind of want a more peaceful world and for our country, and other nations, to have future generations.

He's a great one to listen to, brilliant. We can't have that peaceful world because our masters in Washington are focused on empire.

Jeffrey Sachs is someone I follow who is sane and intelligent. What people like him, John Mearsheimer and Glenn Greenwald say about our society and our world are why I believe America is collapsing, our world is in a tailspin and humanity is too dysfunctional to survive. Only AI can save our sinking ship. We sure can’t save ourselves. We’re not all crazy but enough are to bring us all down.

I look to God… not to Silicon Valley.

Sachs is certainly not afraid of controversy. From Ukraine to COVID to China to nuclear power to ending poverty, he just jumps right in and whacks the sacred cows. Based on his history and associations, I would say he wants to be a liberal internationalist but can't abide the lies promulgated by others.

I do wish Tucker would do transcripts. I would even pay to join his site but two and a half hours for something I could read in 20 minutes is too much.

If you care about US history (and our future), you need to listen to this. I had heard of this guy but didn’t know anything about him. He was with Yeltsin at the very moment the Soviet Union fell and has had a front row seat or at the table to quite a few of the most important decisions by the US government over the past 40 years.

Brilliant episode, Sachs is fantastic. Trustworthy unlike most of our corrupt establishment.

Wow, that is certainly a pairing I never would have envisioned. Sign of the times I guess. Thanks for the link, I’ll definitely give it a watch!

Extremely astute guy but I loved to hear how on earth he believes a Palestinian State, something that’s been offered to them multiple times for nigh over 75 years right up to today, and rejected BY the Palestinians themselves every time, somehow will magically end that war.

Oddly, this is a case of the US thinking it can do whatever it wants that he so rightly criticizes elsewhere. If the US and EU want a two state solution they will have to impose it on both Israelis and Palestinians. This is known as colonialism and won't bring peace.

Exactly! Curious he can’t see that going on there, yet everywhere else. Same goes for Tucker.

These government fools are destroying us with never a thought to what might be right or to what Americans want. There are truly godless evil people within both parties.

A brilliant account, well worth listening to. I did not realize that the war began much earlier, and the US repeatedly lied and failed to listen to Russia’s warnings for 25 years, based on a cockamamieZbig Brezinski world view of the US needing to be the world’s “constable“ — following the British example of Lord Palmerston.

Right after Russia’s invasion I decided to do a little background research on the situation and stumbled upon Oliver Stone’s 2017 film ‘Ukraine on Fire’. That told me everything I needed to know, and no the US is certainly not innocent.

If only more people actually did a bit of research instead of just believing the duplicitous MSM narratives.

And here I was led to believe the other guys were the bad guys.

When I saw this was a 2 hour interview I almost didn’t listen but glad I did! It was so interesting and Sachs did not talk over our heads.

I didn’t watch this until yesterday. I was quite disturbed by it, and I was really surprised I hadn’t seen much reaction to it. I did some research and he seems to have had somewhat of a conversion. But he has certainly had an interesting career in the bowels of the beast. The Leviathan has been at this for a long time. God help us.

They want to break Russia up into small countries so they can dominate them.

Some of Sachs older interviews show him to be climate change acolyte, a socialist and probably a globalist. So... not sure about this guy.

maybe the world is more complex than our current labeling system allows for...

Very possible.
