Jeffrey Sachs is an awesome human being, courageous, compassionate, highly intelligent, and a speaker of truth. May God protect you Jeffrey 🙏
Sensible assessment. I don’t know why this has largely been ignored by the mainstream media in the West and Japan.
It's refreshing to listen to someone sober in the middle of this collective hysteria.
It's a great honour and respect of such a good American who brings out in details of what his government has had dishonored many walked-out agreements by causing many chaos, tensions and unnecessary wars around the world.
Congratulation and thanks for his courage to admit of what his government did various inhuman and unpeacefulness to the world.
Great talk...You are courage enough to say the truth.
What an honest and straightforward assessment of current world affair!!!
Western media will give this zero coverage.
Western media is doing all the possible to push us towards the 3rd world war
Absolutely China is our enemy.
Bravo bravo bravo!. Thank you for telling the truth.
Thanks Jeffrey, we need more fair-minded people like you, more than ever now.
You don't know his theory led so many countries into the economic instability and caused the inequality among the people. Wake up.
Cannot fault any part of this comprehensive analysis of the global situation.... thank you Professor Sachs 🙏👍
Pray people come to their senses and have the ability to know setting priority for peace and sustainable development. Amen
Great and thoughtful talk which world leaders esp USA should listen and reflect as their actions are harming world peace esp from USA
Unfortunately none of them are listening...
Peace & Solidarity...🙏🏻💚
Excellent presentation...
Thank you, Professor Sachs.
Thank you for your great presentation
May God if there is a one or the power of good bless you and keep you safe.
Its always the same in world history. The wise is unheard and the fool is attractive. And here we go again.
Why is this great man's wise words so much ignored? Why are mainstream media not carrying his tireless warnings for peace and human survival? Why do I have the feeling that the world is not picking up the broken pieces to meet the challenges for peace and not war, for goodwill and not hate?
Crimes against humanity by US in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and Somalia it was not punished. Why?
Let's not forget Hawaii, South America, the Philippines,Japanese Americans,Indigenous Americans, Black Americans, and Chinese railroad workers just to name a few more crimes and incursions on humanity. This is not a new phenomenon. The chickens will continue to come home.

Says it all really.....
Guess we are not in the coopration mode. We need to fight and win before we can work together.
We said
Please share
excellent presentation
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
All these politicians decide your fate.
Interesting 🤔
I am listening and reading the comments after breakfast. A mistake. Now I feel like throwing up.
You just need a laxative you have been consuming ingredients that are not good on the digestive system.
Why America elect such leadership continually?
If only the US keeps out of involvement in other countries for whatever reasons the world would have been peaceful.
Wait till you see the nuclear war with China.
great stuff, unfortunately the supreme court in the usa has descided that the epa has no juristiction in climate matters. this is the big blow for the climate. its looking very bad for the future for humanity the sixt extiontion is nearly upon us and it is called the antropoceen
You chickened out there by finishing about the constant Ukrainian shelling of the Donbass. Also not mentioning the horrific loss off life by the shelling of the Donbass by Ukraine

The truth can be hard to expect. Delusional a false belief that exist in my mind inspite of fact.
Japanese have not learned something from that 2actomic bombs. I think they need more.
You can set fire to your neighbors house but that fire sometimes jumps on to your house.
I agree with most of his comments about the behavior and non-cooperation of international leaders. The WTO and WHO failed to enhance the world's cooperation. Both world organizations are corrupt and fail to act on behalf of the world. Instead, they acted as puppets for some corrupt nations. However, the speaker did not express the threat of China's "Belt and Road". Instead, he just commented on how the U.S. is accusing China of baseless facts. The speaker simplified China's threat to the world and made no mention of China's trade war with Australia and Lithuania.
Like any other country, China has the right to defend its legit interests by any means possible.
Tariffs imposed on imported Lithuanian and Aussie exports is not equal to punitive sanctions.
They are still trading with China
Why belt and road threat world peace? Is China building military base along that? China silk and road also passes through Ukraine. Russia will complain if it threats its security
The US is the real threat, their blind and ignorant pursuit of hegemonic power is leading all of us to the abyss
You're thinking, unfortunately, like an American Neo-conservative, one hallmark of which is to be threatened by another nation's success and smart choices. It's a zero-sum thinking. And getting into the nitty-gritty with specific trade conflicts (China--Australia/Lithuania) at a conference like this is going way beyond what a keynote speech should address. I understand that you are worried about China's aggression related to expansion in the South China Sea (and now they're working with Russia), but look at what the US has done in its hegemonic philosophy globally. While we were spending $5 trillion on two failed wars, China was incorporating 70 nations into its Belt and Roads Initiative. I'm sure you already know this. We also completely sold out our domestic production to China under Bill Clinton and successive presidents. We're currently pushing Russia even closer to China by giving $55 billion to Ukraine and letting Finland and Sweden into NATO. We have no grounds to complain at this point. The destruction of the US has happened--and continues to happen--from within.
@@briananderson8428 listen up you little pink we either stay number one or Armageddon so pick one. 👉🏼☢️
Get to the point. What is the core of your speech??? Another American mumbling. Waste of time.
