I have sent this interview to my NYC Assembly Member and asked her staff to: a) watch it; and b) assist if possible in supporting an online conversation between Prof. Sachs and members of the NY Delegation.
Biden regime isn't interested in peace, he will never let Ukriane negotiate , especially after we sent them all this money and weapons to destroy Russians. Plus we haven't been this close to full on regime change and chaos in Russia since the 90s, though back then we weren't able to fully balkanize them, im sure this time will be easier to install a puppet in Russia that's not so blatant about selling them out to us like Yeltsin was. We need to hang on bc if Putin falls Russia will become very weak and thier alliances in Asia will crumble, making it easier for us to do the same to China with Taiwan serving as the catalyst. Once China and Russia fall, the others ( India, Iran, N Korea etc) will fall in line giving birth to a true global Western Hegomony ran from DC benefitting all Americans for hundreds of years to come where we will be able to spread our liberal values and help poor people all across the world.
The understanding that Nelson Rockefeller built the Dominoes of the Capitol Mall as well as presided over the Empire State for a while as Governor, seems to imply that profits to the Proper People is the imperative that the State embodies? You do not get elected to serve the average Human resident of the State of New York, without some restrictions on your ability to damage profits that Wall Street demands? The Conflict in Ukraine was designed to enable sanctions, the sanctions were supposed to drive Russia out of the Gas Business that they had developed over the last 50 years of assembling a pipeline web that serves Nations from Greece to Germany, and the ability to convert some of the Russians gas to profits has actually been indicated as flowing into Britain. Overcoming that system and replacing it with LNG from the US and Qatar, seems to offer profits to the Investors who struggle to finance their investment in Fracking up some excess Natural Gas in the US? As in Vietnam and Iraq, millions of Humans will die to enable a small number of humans to make a buck. The oil company investors will profit and we will continue to question how such a lovely Nation as the US could infect the world with so much hatred and lies, to promote killing innocent individuals for profits? We do need to question the basic social system of Capitalism to find answers? The Professor seems to diminish that issue.
@@billiamc1969 she and her staff are actually very responsive. If you are in NYC, approach your Democratic City Council member - their staff are more sensitive to local residents, and obviously well connected with the Democratic delegation / staff. Also approach Church and Community Groups - many NYC ministers / rabbi's etc are involved in ecumenical groups concerned with the same issue at the moment. Please listen again to Prof Sachs at 35:00. NYC politicians would to get some online profile #NYDelegation #ProfSachs #UkrainePeace - people just have to generate some interest.
Thank you Professor Sachs for your honesty, your humanity and your courage to share your truth on this conflict. Your knowledge and humanity could have helped so much to de-escalate this dangerous situation, but politicians and journalists are not that interested in truth, or peace. We are going through a very dark moment , our own existence is at stake and yet people are largely sleeping. Im not so optimistic about the coming years, it's the End of an Era. And it's approaching fast. Thank you again for speaking frankly, and for sharing your knowledge and solutions with us
First, I live in Croatia, eastern Europe...and situation here is the same as in the USA - our politicians lost themselves, every process is organised from the USA and now I think they are scared and because they lost the ground - this will end bad for them, one way or another. But, key point now is peace....and people like prof Jeffrey Sachs, dr Jordan Peterson, and even Tucker Carlson (I know many of you will not agree with last one...) are gold standard in todays geopolitical chess game. Through history east Europe always have some differences, as any part in our planet Earth, and the need for influence from third side inside is great mistake, because we always have enough problems inside and not need influence. What we need is smart words from honorable people to understand once we all have the same goal - living in peace in this planet - and to understand that every, but every human life is worth to be safe and equal to other. For me, and as I see here last months (as this war not end) neither Russians are the enemy, neither Ukrainians are allies. So, thank you so much for this interview, prof Sachs is brave man who really knows what he is talking about....stay strong and together and hope is all we have right know, bye
Hi Mr Sachs. First watched your video explanation on Redacted News on UA-cam. Really learned alot. Can you please open up your own UA-cam channel Sir. I do feel your shared knowledge will help us alot this young generation. Thank you.
I have listened to that JFK speech at least 30 times in my life. It is perhaps the most important speech ever given. Thank you for being the voice of reason Professor Sachs. I just wish people would listen.
My generation lived through the murders of the 1960s (Kennedys, Evers, King, etc). We lived and fought through the Vietnam, Israeli Arab, Gulf, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, etc wars. Enough of war. You cannot send boy and girls into that horror and expect to get them back. Always remember what these western leaders are capable of anything. It is amazing what people will do for a few pieces of silver.
Joe has backed himself into a corner in regards to Ukraine, similar to Lyndon Johnson in Vietnam. He cannot admit he was wrong about anything, otherwise he is finished. And he lacks the awareness and personal integrity to have considered it before he made these choices. This is a very dangerous predicament. One that was so easily avoided.
True but Joe isn't sending Americans to die in Ukriane, and like I've said before and many Americans agree with me is that we will fight Russia to the last Ukrianian. Also we are directly weakening our biggest historical enemy, so the older people like it bc they've hated Russians since birth, and the younger people like it because Putin is a war criminal who doesn't respect liberal values. We have no wide spread protests either, Biden has been running the show very well imo and kept the media on script too, if Biden was a republican he'd be impeached by now, but democrats can get away with a lot more lol 😉
@@drmodestoesq Joe was there from the very beginning of this mess. He installed himself as a “helper” in Ukraine from even before 2014 and then put his son in a lucrative position - talk about corruption, greed and nepotism! Fortunately, Hillary didn’t become a president in 2016 - we would have been at war with Russia soonest as she would have stepped into the office. USA doesn’t care about Ukraine. It doesn’t care about the little. Baltic states it used as a template of what they’ve planted and seeded and watered until it flourished in Ukraine. Divide and conquer is not a noble strategy
I've lived in Europe and went to East Berlin two times before the wall came down. I've traveled to former Eastern block countries and talked to the locals. I haven't written any books, but I do have a observations. In a nutshell, the USA still tends to be a destination, Russia is not. That pretty much sums it up.
The solution is within the USA’s framework of foreign policies. The US is the one that drew up policies to weaken USSR and now Russia, together with the UK got a few EU nations to collaborate in attempts to break up Russia into smaller pieces in order to distribute the power to plunder Russia’s resources. If Russia has policies like that for the USA, do you not think the Americans would react the same as the Russians now? And pray tell why did the US approved a budget of 300 million for the media to smear China? Americans, it’s your behaviour and your belief that you’re holier than anyone else that make you the global problem.
@@konradvonschnitzeldorf6506 Well, the Chinese name for the USA means beautiful country. They didn’t need to smear the USA my dear for the USA are doing an excellent job themselves. As for Russia, so far what I’ve read were proven to be true by the American’s action and conduct.

Gorbachev had no option to keep the Warsaw pact together, he couldn't keep the USSR together. The former satellite states have a right to a security defense system. Georgia and Ukraine prove the wisdom of joining NATO.
@@cathybrelsford4365 The former satellite states and Soviet Republics in NATO have what they want. Security from an attack by an aggressive criminal regime.
The US economy depends entirely on selling war weapons from air craft carriers , planes and tanks to guns and atomic weapons all over the world. The new NATO countries are all new customers for the USA. The USSR , that we supported, secretly, from 1927 till 1980. Shortly afterward our support, the USSR collapsed. The US is caught in the same trap of war that destroyed every empire from the Ancient Greek empires, Ancient Rome, Great Britain and soon us. It is all so predictable for those who know history. .
Actually: Yes. We would be in a worse situation if we negotiated now and Russia violated this agreement: Every minute counts for Ukraine: give Russia more time and they will just push back in.
Appreciation from Poland to Prof. Jeffrey Sachs. Few days ago there was powerful speech in EU parliament by Clare Daly from Ireland 🇮🇪 who called for peace talks
Amen to that. I'm on the politcal right and everything JS said in this video deeply resonates with my understanding of the war in Ukraine. I would not hesitate to join arms with those across the political aisle from me to advocate for peace. This escalation of war is sheer madness.
I have loved Prof. Sachs from the first time I heard him speak in Alpbach. Everybody was so excited about his panel, and I did not know who he was. But I was so amazed by his insight, analytical skills and objectivity that became a big admirer right after. Thank you, Mr. Sachs for staying the voice of reason in these crazy times ♥️
Its a voice of total and utter betrayal of America by Sachs...YOU NEVER EVER NEGOTIATE WITH THE DEVIL SACHS...YOU SCOUNDREL ...YOU WIMP...YOU WEASAL.THIS GIVES THE MONSTER PUTIN A FILTHY VILE MOMENT
@@kalle911 Sachs as I thought when listening to your extreme and wrong anti US propaganda .. I thought when I heard rant after rant , the Sachs marriage would be in tatters.. my intuition is right 4 perhaps more failed marriages.. no wonder .. he's a lunatic and clearly could not make any relationship work.. so he's a another screwed up academic who neglects everything in his life as well as being totally shunned by Americans now.. except for nutters who go to his public talks.. and even in those he mortgages the debates.. oh so obnoxious and f ..ked in the head
I am glad to listen to Prof. Sachs's excellent insights on this conflict. Our Indian envoy recently spoken at UN post Russian annexation, and I quote "No matter how daunting the peace talks seem to be right now, dialogue and diplomacy is the only solution to this conflict". Prof. Sachs calls for dialogue is a very rational argument to end this war.
Completely false. Dialogue can only work if there's space on either side to accept something. To accept territorial conquest by Russia would have massive consequences for the world order - and - only encourage Russia to invade later and in other countries.
@@saattlebrutaz Entire World knows which country has the habit of invading the soverignity of other nations in the pretext of "protecting the democracy". If Russia's invasion is to be debated then why not the injustice done by devastating bombing of Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Murder of a Sovereign country leader Qaddafi is debated. What a hypocrisy from western media outlets in portraying Putin as aggressor. Other than some fraction of population in Europe and North America, the entire world especially India and China aren't buying the "fake news". Russia on the other hand is protecting the genocide of ethnic Russians in Donbass regions. NATO is solely responsible for creation of this conflict by overthrowing popular regime in 2014. NATO's ultimate goal is to weaken Russia economically. This proxy war by NATO is not intended to protect Ukrainians at all rather and they are willing to throw Ukranian people under the bus to achieve their goal of hegemony.
May God bless protect and guide us as we fulfill our lifes MISSIONS I pray Amen Read your Bible Revelation tells us everything. It is time to pray like we've never PRAYED before and repent for our sins for we are all SINNERS.
Great interview, thank you very much. I am looking for all Mr. Jeffrey Sachs' speeches/interviews, he is so a great speaker, and he sure "holds" one's attention from beginning to end.
Amazing Stuff, it is so sad that Jeffrey's sane voice is not broadcast all over the planet right now... this should be what we are doing, our current path is the road to insanity..
Thank you to Mr Jeffrey Sachs for the honesty, Integrity our voices and peace is so important in this dark time. Zelensky is selfish man care for himself not for millions people on this planet. I agree with Mr Jeffrey Sachs every single word that he said.
What does that mean? You are Chinese or American? You sum up why the the west will die VERY SOON. People like you with hyphenated loyalty. You don't give two shits about america go home to the country you love.
@@michaelashley2855 1st Ukraine didn't broke Minsk agreement. 2nd Karter haven't rights to promise do not move NATO east. it's simply can't be legal and this is can't be justification for Moscows aggression at all. And 3rd : war criminals always mast be stopped and loose.
Thank you for your truth professor. You could get a Nobel Peace price if you could bring together a successful peace agreement for these people. But I’m afraid your right about the USA not wanting peace.
Obama got his "Nobel Peace price" for his drone strikes on civilians, now they wanted to give one to Elensky who is asking for preemptive nuclear strike on Russia. Nobel Peace price is not what it used to be.
I am deeply indebted to Professor Sachs for shedding much needed light on this very dangerous conflict and for his proposals on how to end it. It’s profoundly dismaying how little heed the mainstream media give to his thinking.
Dismaying, indeed. And they do so, so much to push the narrative, fanning the flames; it's astonishing. And there are numerous journalists regularly echoing Professor Sachs words. Biden, et al, truly seem to want to be sure Putin is perceived of as the evil, somewhat lunatic-like madman ready to send nukes if he's backed into a corner. Putin has NOT spoken about using such weapons, as he is accused of. That's coming from Biden. Follow The Duran, Patrick Lancaster, Brian Berletic, and many others for insightful discussion., and on the ground reporters/journalists like the brave Eva Bartlett and Patrick Lancaster, interviewing those in areas shelled regularly by Ukranians, as they've done since 2014, and earlier, but especially since the coup of that year, with U.S. input. Scary, scary times indeed. And MSM of the airwaves and print should be prosecuted for all the war-mongering, misrepresenting, outright lying, re events, now, and especially the history leading to Putin's February aggressive moves.

This is so insightful and so disturbing. Pure stupidity IMHO. Today’s politician is bent on rating, busy with tweets, no time to read books, learn about history, develop a vision of a better world. We’ve been gaslighted on a massive scale.
@@saattlebrutaz Care to share your informed version of what is unfolding as prof Sachs has been in the room when much of this occurred over the past 32 years and nobody saw you there?
God bless you professor Sachs for your contributions and your efforts for world peace, in that to prevent the World war 3!, AND my appreciation and thanks to all YOU kind folks as well, who are working to prevent a NUCLEAR CATOSTROPHY FOR THE WORLD! THANKS!
I’m absolutely amazed at Sachs. I always thought that he was the ultimate technocrat. I suppose that he’s so concerned at this insanity that seems so dominant. My respect for you Jeffery.
Thank you, Prof. Sachs! Love your work and your books. Thank you for bringing truth and rational in this confusing world. It is difficult to hold the minority view in this country. When I listen to other people in the rest of the world in different languages, I know how truth and reasonable you are.
I want to join you professor Sachs, but I don't know how. I think I represent millions of common people who hear this but feel completely powerless as to who to call to express our outrage and anger.

Hi is complate lier. Sorry for you low intelligibility. Ukraine is peaceful country that have to defend from bloody aggressor. It's no justification at all!!!
This was one of the most disappointing presentations I have heard yet from a person as distinguished as Dr. Sachs. My mother worked on the staff of Prime Minister Waldemar Pawlak and NATO didn't approach Poland for membership as you clearly stated, but it was President Lech Wałęsa who in 1993 said it was imperative for Poland to have security guarantees from NATO since the newly formed Federation of Russia would not offer any. I am sure I do not have to remind you of the abuse the USSR acted on to Poland. President Lech Wałęsa was the initiator of NATO membership and not the other way around. I can even present to you the original draft of this proposal if you have doubts, but its easy to find since it is public record and recorded in Warsaw. Prime Minister Pawlak even started an initiative called the Partnership for Peace program and wanted, and got, assurances from NATO (I'll paraphrase the exact assurance: the possibility of joint military exercises, participation in peacekeeping and humanitarian operations, and consultations with NATO partners in the event of threats to their safety.) NATO never asked Poland to join and NATO did NOT approach the Baltic States on expansion. I only went on this tangent because you present a rather Russian side of NATO and their goals. I am in agreement that NATO should probably have disbanded after the fall of the Central Party powers in Moscow as it was not a needed alliance anymore. My problem is you neglected to present the factual story of Poland's membership in NATO and make it appear NATO went to the Baltics and Poland and asked them to join. President Clinton did make statements that NATO would eventually have the former Eastern Bloc countries in anyway, which I can understand the provocation but please if you are going to give a history lesson get your facts straight.
He is an appeaser and suggesting to negotiate brave Ukraine into slavery for his own security. Peace won in that way is shameful and not lasting as shown by history. The quickest way to end this war is to support Ukraine with all weapons they need and kick invaders off their land.
@@Celticowl4136 my suggestion is to let Ukraine win their freedom. Situation is not getting worse, but better. Ukraine is tearing up Russian army. There won't be any nuclear war. Grow some balls and stop being scared by Putin's bluff. And yes, it's very much like the 30s
I find it amazing that the US talks a lot abour democracy, freedom and other two faced concepts but has never tried to make peace. The Minsk agreements were never taken seriously by the US as they wanted a proxy war. Why? They wanted to weaken Russia, sell arms, cause rifts between Ukraine and Russia, install illegal sanctions, follow their plan to main hegemony and US exceptionalism (Nazism/fascism under new management). If you look at Nazi's plans for domination it mirrors the US having 750 bases around the world and delusions of hegemony at all costs. The facts add up and the US is on a moral precipice with one leg hanging into space.
Poland has its eyes on it's former territories in the west of Ukraine, if it takes those or is given them back by agreement, that part of Ukraine will be managed better, more fairly and less corruptly than it has been for the past 30 years. I suggested this months ago as a circuit breaker, and if l remember correctly Ukraine and Poland entered into a legal pact along those lines that involved ceding the western territories. Poland wants to protect ethnic Pols in the west as much as Russia wants to protect Russian speaking Slavs in the east of Ukraine. Russia does not really want to have jurisdiction over those western territories anyway, they are only interested in lands which it formally had control over or had a cultural investment in, not an economic or ideological one, not withstanding that Kiev was the first Russ capital more than a 1000 years ago. This war or conflict is more of a cultural sovereignty battle for Russia than it is an economic or power geopolitics one. Outsiders do not understand the cultural continuity and pride of the Russians. America for all it pretence, is a mish mash of cultures, a homogenous mix of cultures brought to it (but watered down and almost meaningless), by social out casts and misfits as migrants running from circumstances elsewhere. American "culture" being so young, has little or no depth now, and is dominated by progressive liberal popular culture which is vacuous and is soul destroying. This is why deep down, America and Britain and other nations envy Russia. Russia phobia is in part envy of cultural continuity and integrity and what that installs in the hearts of it citizens.....a true sense of belonging to something meaningful, worth defending and preserving. To the Russians, other nations may as well be the mongols, with all that implies, in that they behave the same way and want to impose a foreign shallow consumerist belief system on a Russian nation which cherishes self determination and sovereignty. American neo cons don't understand this at the core of their being, because they are collectively, as stupid as both Nepoleon and Hitler in thinking that Russia is ripe for the plucking and should belong to them, as if it is being wasted. It isn't and won't be. The communist system imposed on Russia by nefarious outside forces, was anathema to Russians living now. They are back to where they wanted to be, with the law and the church as a basis for a cohesive society. It is, in their eyes and hearts something worth preserving. I doubt there is a Russian word for fad.
I have lived in the west of Ukraine the last 5 years - and you bring alot of the right points. They want NOTHING to do with Russia. - or its disgusting Government. If they did - they would run towards Russia and not the opposite direction ! Including he Caucuses, and all the former USSR countries. The Moskovian Orthodox Church worships Stalin - and wants to wipe out Ukraine. ua-cam.com/video/RZzUsEF486g/v-deo.html
The U.S. was taken over by the German communists during WWI and WWII. They call themselves Demoncrats and use Demoncracy that has influenced and infiltrated many countries. NATO United Nations are all in their club (cult) the Vatican is the leader!
You seem to forget that the Ukrainian people don’t see themselves as Russians, they have their own language, history and traditions. Maybe you and Putin don’t see them as an independent nation, but the Ukrainians certainly do and as we are seeing they are willing to fight for it.
Stay safe professor! Your speech will be rewatched decades from now as an example of few voices who told the truth in this moment (that's if we survive). Sad how so many are still sleeping 😴, all information is out there available, people don't want to do some work and look at anything but mainstream media.
His view is what Asians views. The politicians in America are creating troubles to destabilise the world. We hope Americans come to their senses to stop their politicians to destroy the world
The US hopes to remain able to provide all the nice features of civilization that we all enjoy. The actual ability to preserve that stable function that allows Profiteers to extract funds from the Planet, seems to face some very large challenges both economically as well as militarily. I wonder what the Nation will look like in decades?

First, I live in Croatia, eastern Europe...and situation here is the same as in the USA - our politicians lost themselves, every process is organised from the USA and now I think they are scared and because they lost the ground - this will end bad for them, one way or another. But, key point now is peace....and people like prof Jeffrey Sachs, dr Jordan Peterson, and even Tucker Carlson (I know many of you will not agree with last one...) are gold standard in todays geopolitical chess game. Through history east Europe always have some differences, as any part in our planet Earth, and the need for influence from third side inside is great mistake, because we always have enough problems inside and not need influence. What we need is smart words from honorable people to understand once we all have the same goal - living in peace in this planet - and to understand that every, but every human life is worth to be safe and equal to other. For me, and as I see here last months (as this war not end) neither Russians are the enemy, neither Ukrainians are allies. So, thank you so much for this interview, prof Sachs is brave man who really knows what he is talking about....stay strong and together and hope is all we have right know, bye
Tell that to the ukranian Refugees in your country
@@konradvonschnitzeldorf6506 Do not understand your point, but anyway thanks to reply
Hi Mr Sachs. First watched your video explanation on Redacted News on UA-cam. Really learned alot. Can you please open up your own UA-cam channel Sir. I do feel your shared knowledge will help us alot this young generation. Thank you.
Great idea! Appreciate your suggestion and comment.
I suggest he uses Rumble, not UA-cam, or at least not UA-cam alone.
We need more and more of this professor to speak up like him. God bless this professor. He is a true peaceful man
Some powerful group won't allow he to be heard by public
Too well informed and rationale to be popular.
Thank you
I have listened to that JFK speech at least 30 times in my life. It is perhaps the most important speech ever given. Thank you for being the voice of reason Professor Sachs. I just wish people would listen.
Why would the Russians blow up a Russian pipeline, carrying Russian gas, to Russian customers, that is vital to their economy.
My generation lived through the murders of the 1960s (Kennedys, Evers, King, etc). We lived and fought through the Vietnam, Israeli Arab, Gulf, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, etc wars. Enough of war. You cannot send boy and girls into that horror and expect to get them back. Always remember what these western leaders are capable of anything. It is amazing what people will do for a few pieces of silver.
Finally… a Man that speaks the TRUTH!
The newspapers in Germany are reporting the same wrong way as in the US..
would appreciate his insight about the role of Poland and the Baltic countries . They seem to have been deeply involved for many years.
Joe has backed himself into a corner in regards to Ukraine, similar to Lyndon Johnson in Vietnam.
He cannot admit he was wrong about anything, otherwise he is finished.
And he lacks the awareness and personal integrity to have considered it before he made these choices.
This is a very dangerous predicament. One that was so easily avoided.
Yes. And I don’t think it’s Joe calling the shots.
True but Joe isn't sending Americans to die in Ukriane, and like I've said before and many Americans agree with me is that we will fight Russia to the last Ukrianian.
Also we are directly weakening our biggest historical enemy, so the older people like it bc they've hated Russians since birth, and the younger people like it because Putin is a war criminal who doesn't respect liberal values.
We have no wide spread protests either, Biden has been running the show very well imo and kept the media on script too, if Biden was a republican he'd be impeached by now, but democrats can get away with a lot more lol 😉
Yeah...by Putin not invading Ukraine.
@@drmodestoesq Joe was there from the very beginning of this mess. He installed himself as a “helper” in Ukraine from even before 2014 and then put his son in a lucrative position - talk about corruption, greed and nepotism! Fortunately, Hillary didn’t become a president in 2016 - we would have been at war with Russia soonest as she would have stepped into the office. USA doesn’t care about Ukraine. It doesn’t care about the little. Baltic states it used as a template of what they’ve planted and seeded and watered until it flourished in Ukraine. Divide and conquer is not a noble strategy
thanks ,agree ...unfortunately
I've lived in Europe and went to East Berlin two times before the wall came down. I've traveled to former Eastern block countries and talked to the locals. I haven't written any books, but I do have a observations. In a nutshell, the USA still tends to be a destination, Russia is not. That pretty much sums it up.
Mat 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
The solution is within the USA’s framework of foreign policies. The US is the one that drew up policies to weaken USSR and now Russia, together with the UK got a few EU nations to collaborate in attempts to break up Russia into smaller pieces in order to distribute the power to plunder Russia’s resources. If Russia has policies like that for the USA, do you not think the Americans would react the same as the Russians now? And pray tell why did the US approved a budget of 300 million for the media to smear China? Americans, it’s your behaviour and your belief that you’re holier than anyone else that make you the global problem.
Ah yes. Because Russian and Chinese state media are never smearing any country at all hahahah.
@@konradvonschnitzeldorf6506 Well, the Chinese name for the USA means beautiful country. They didn’t need to smear the USA my dear for the USA are doing an excellent job themselves. As for Russia, so far what I’ve read were proven to be true by the American’s action and conduct.
Amazing...I bet Breaking Points with Krystal and Sagaar are part of the people who wouldn't have Mr Sachs on for an op-ed.

Any bets on Zelenskyy winning the Nobel peace prize instead of Professor Sachs?
And are Sweden and Finland wrong for asking to join NATO?
Yes.
God help us all if the button is pushed
Gorbachev had no option to keep the Warsaw pact together, he couldn't keep the USSR together. The former satellite states have a right to a security defense system. Georgia and Ukraine prove the wisdom of joining NATO.
Have they got what they want? What kind of wisdom is that?
@@cathybrelsford4365 The former satellite states and Soviet Republics in NATO have what they want. Security from an attack by an aggressive criminal regime.
Yes. The framing that those smaller States in Europe basically have no agency is absolutely stupid.
The US economy depends entirely on selling war weapons from air craft carriers , planes and tanks to guns and atomic weapons all over the world. The new NATO countries are all new customers for the USA. The USSR , that we supported, secretly, from 1927 till 1980. Shortly afterward our support, the USSR collapsed. The US is caught in the same trap of war that destroyed every empire from the Ancient Greek empires, Ancient Rome, Great Britain and soon us. It is all so predictable for those who know history.

I thought when I heard rant after rant , the Sachs marriage would be in tatters.. my intuition is right 4 perhaps more failed marriages.. no wonder .. he's a lunatic and clearly could not make any relationship work.. so he's a another screwed up academic who neglects everything in his life as well as being totally shunned by Americans now.. except for nutters who go to his public talks.. and even in those he mortgages the debates.. oh so obnoxious and f ..ked in the head
I am glad to listen to Prof. Sachs's excellent insights on this conflict. Our Indian envoy recently spoken at UN post Russian annexation, and I quote "No matter how daunting the peace talks seem to be right now, dialogue and diplomacy is the only solution to this conflict". Prof. Sachs calls for dialogue is a very rational argument to end this war.
Completely false. Dialogue can only work if there's space on either side to accept something. To accept territorial conquest by Russia would have massive consequences for the world order - and - only encourage Russia to invade later and in other countries.
@@saattlebrutaz Entire World knows which country has the habit of invading the soverignity of other nations in the pretext of "protecting the democracy". If Russia's invasion is to be debated then why not the injustice done by devastating bombing of Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Murder of a Sovereign country leader Qaddafi is debated. What a hypocrisy from western media outlets in portraying Putin as aggressor. Other than some fraction of population in Europe and North America, the entire world especially India and China aren't buying the "fake news". Russia on the other hand is protecting the genocide of ethnic Russians in Donbass regions. NATO is solely responsible for creation of this conflict by overthrowing popular regime in 2014. NATO's ultimate goal is to weaken Russia economically. This proxy war by NATO is not intended to protect Ukrainians at all rather and they are willing to throw Ukranian people under the bus to achieve their goal of hegemony.

You could get a Nobel Peace price if you could bring together a successful peace agreement for these people.
But I’m afraid your right about the USA not wanting peace.
Obama got his "Nobel Peace price" for his drone strikes on civilians, now they wanted to give one to Elensky who is asking for preemptive nuclear strike on Russia. Nobel Peace price is not what it used to be.
Professor you are very wise. I only wish the leaders who wants to perpetuate the war listen to this and hope it put some sense in them.
I am deeply indebted to Professor Sachs for shedding much needed light on this very dangerous conflict and for his proposals on how to end it. It’s profoundly dismaying how little heed the mainstream media give to his thinking.
Ummm, compare putin to Hitler's pre-war ideas. The British gave him Czechoslovakia. Turns out that wasn't enough.
Dismaying, indeed. And they do so, so much to push the narrative, fanning the flames; it's astonishing. And there are numerous journalists regularly echoing Professor Sachs words. Biden, et al, truly seem to want to be sure Putin is perceived of as the evil, somewhat lunatic-like madman ready to send nukes if he's backed into a corner. Putin has NOT spoken about using such weapons, as he is accused of. That's coming from Biden. Follow The Duran, Patrick Lancaster, Brian Berletic, and many others for insightful discussion., and on the ground reporters/journalists like the brave Eva Bartlett and Patrick Lancaster, interviewing those in areas shelled regularly by Ukranians, as they've done since 2014, and earlier, but especially since the coup of that year, with U.S. input. Scary, scary times indeed. And MSM of the airwaves and print should be prosecuted for all the war-mongering, misrepresenting, outright lying, re events, now, and especially the history leading to Putin's February aggressive moves.

Hi is complate lier. Sorry for you low intelligibility. Ukraine is peaceful country that have to defend from bloody aggressor. It's no justification at all!!!
This was one of the most disappointing presentations I have heard yet from a person as distinguished as Dr. Sachs. My mother worked on the staff of Prime Minister Waldemar Pawlak and NATO didn't approach Poland for membership as you clearly stated, but it was President Lech Wałęsa who in 1993 said it was imperative for Poland to have security guarantees from NATO since the newly formed Federation of Russia would not offer any. I am sure I do not have to remind you of the abuse the USSR acted on to Poland. President Lech Wałęsa was the initiator of NATO membership and not the other way around. I can even present to you the original draft of this proposal if you have doubts, but its easy to find since it is public record and recorded in Warsaw. Prime Minister Pawlak even started an initiative called the Partnership for Peace program and wanted, and got, assurances from NATO (I'll paraphrase the exact assurance: the possibility of joint military exercises, participation in peacekeeping and humanitarian operations, and consultations with NATO partners in the event of threats to their safety.) NATO never asked Poland to join and NATO did NOT approach the Baltic States on expansion.
I only went on this tangent because you present a rather Russian side of NATO and their goals. I am in agreement that NATO should probably have disbanded after the fall of the Central Party powers in Moscow as it was not a needed alliance anymore. My problem is you neglected to present the factual story of Poland's membership in NATO and make it appear NATO went to the Baltics and Poland and asked them to join. President Clinton did make statements that NATO would eventually have the former Eastern Bloc countries in anyway, which I can understand the provocation but please if you are going to give a history lesson get your facts straight.
Thanks for bringing on Jeffrey Sachs. He truly is a man of peace and understanding.
He is an appeaser and suggesting to negotiate brave Ukraine into slavery for his own security. Peace won in that way is shameful and not lasting as shown by history. The quickest way to end this war is to support Ukraine with all weapons they need and kick invaders off their land.
Gee, where was he in 1939?
What a cheap shot drive by comment. At least he is trying to avoid this situation getting worse. Jesus what's your suggestion? Nuclear war?
@@Celticowl4136 my suggestion is to let Ukraine win their freedom. Situation is not getting worse, but better. Ukraine is tearing up Russian army. There won't be any nuclear war. Grow some balls and stop being scared by Putin's bluff. And yes, it's very much like the 30s
Thank you professor! Great to listen to a reasonable and rational voice in this completely unreasonable and irrational world.
I find it amazing that the US talks a lot abour democracy, freedom and other two faced concepts but has never tried to make peace. The Minsk agreements were never taken seriously by the US as they wanted a proxy war. Why? They wanted to weaken Russia, sell arms, cause rifts between Ukraine and Russia, install illegal sanctions, follow their plan to main hegemony and US exceptionalism (Nazism/fascism under new management). If you look at Nazi's plans for domination it mirrors the US having 750 bases around the world and delusions of hegemony at all costs. The facts add up and the US is on a moral precipice with one leg hanging into space.

Poland has its eyes on it's former territories in the west of Ukraine, if it takes those or is given them back by agreement, that part of Ukraine will be managed better, more fairly and less corruptly than it has been for the past 30 years. I suggested this months ago as a circuit breaker, and if l remember correctly Ukraine and Poland entered into a legal pact along those lines that involved ceding the western territories. Poland wants to protect ethnic Pols in the west as much as Russia wants to protect Russian speaking Slavs in the east of Ukraine. Russia does not really want to have jurisdiction over those western territories anyway, they are only interested in lands which it formally had control over or had a cultural investment in, not an economic or ideological one, not withstanding that Kiev was the first Russ capital more than a 1000 years ago. This war or conflict is more of a cultural sovereignty battle for Russia than it is an economic or power geopolitics one. Outsiders do not understand the cultural continuity and pride of the Russians. America for all it pretence, is a mish mash of cultures, a homogenous mix of cultures brought to it (but watered down and almost meaningless), by social out casts and misfits as migrants running from circumstances elsewhere. American "culture" being so young, has little or no depth now, and is dominated by progressive liberal popular culture which is vacuous and is soul destroying. This is why deep down, America and Britain and other nations envy Russia. Russia phobia is in part envy of cultural continuity and integrity and what that installs in the hearts of it citizens.....a true sense of belonging to something meaningful, worth defending and preserving.
To the Russians, other nations may as well be the mongols, with all that implies, in that they behave the same way and want to impose a foreign shallow consumerist belief system on a Russian nation which cherishes self determination and sovereignty. American neo cons don't understand this at the core of their being, because they are collectively, as stupid as both Nepoleon and Hitler in thinking that Russia is ripe for the plucking and should belong to them, as if it is being wasted. It isn't and won't be. The communist system imposed on Russia by nefarious outside forces, was anathema to Russians living now. They are back to where they wanted to be, with the law and the church as a basis for a cohesive society. It is, in their eyes and hearts something worth preserving. I doubt there is a Russian word for fad.

AMEN! Death is nothing to fear. Just like waking up from a nightmare. Anyone who's had a NDE knows we're eternal consciousness's of God's light. Either ascend or get stuck in this insane 3D Matrix.

America are the masters of propaganda.
Never forget, the dudes pulling the strings are Luciferians!!!!
