Very difficult for a small country like Denmark to stand up and speak straight. America has two kinds of power , military(hard) or economic (soft). Denmark is desperately dependent on trade with companies like Maersk, LEGO, and makers of Ozempic Novo Nordisk. Economic damage from the US would really hurt the nation
Thanks for sharing and surfacing the truth. 👏👍 Respect Jeffrey Sachs for speaking out the truth against the majority of Americans. A high moral standing and brave individual. We need more of him so that we can have a peaceful world.
The Chinese took a different approach when engaging Africa or Latin America or any developing countries in the world by “make you rich before trading expensive goods with you” whilst the West only do “nature resource exploitation and leave you un-industrialized at forever poor.”
Greetings from Russia. Unipolar world with western hegemony showed that it works only in one way in case of development. But the new developing multipolar world seems more fair and it will make the world more balanced.
British Empire never really collapsed. It just moved its center to the US just like Roman Empire became Byzantine. The end of American Empire will be the real end of British Empire.
I also believe that Russia, as long as it has leaders of the caliber of Putin, is the one nation who will learn the most from lessons of the past. They have learned to no longer count on the West as a potential group-partner, and they certainly will not let the Chinese dominate them within their new alliance. That is why they always allow doors to remain open, like with India, and regardless of what people may think, some parts of Europe as well.

I've concluded - and I believe that history agrees - that nations must always have counter-balancing rival nations (even outright enemies) to keep them healthy, wealthy & wise. And if not, they are guaranteed to lose the things that made them 'great' to begin with. This should be recognised as at least one good argument against the US desire to be the hegemonic world power.
Whichever way you try to fudge it, the attempts remain ineffectual, and the prospects for Europe look bleaker, even though it might not seem so to ordinary Europeans living their everyday lives. At a time when they are grappling with severe demographic decline, which is worsening the immigration problem, it's hard to envision the consequences of a protracted land war that would devour their youth. What such a war would do to the legacy of this beautiful continent is horrific to imagine. One can only hope that sanity will prevail and the proud citizenries of these nations will choose to live today and fight another day.
One wonders,,, How well disguised the ENEMY WITHIN THE WESTERN WORLD,,,,Methodically yet in sequences that tears that house from deep underground up which leaves me utterly shocked,
I believe that those 3 gentleman should spend a couple of years or more working in China, not with the elite alone, but among the average Chinese, to understand what China will do in the next decade worldwide, and then give a better informed opinion on whether China will follow the Mearsheimer path or the Sachs path. They are talking out of ancient history (one during which China was never the only superpower in the World - and they knew it, through missionaries for example), statistics (which can be cooked) and information shared at international conferences (which the hosts can always manipulate), but not reality in the field.
There are plenty of Westerners living and working in China side by side with average, ordinary Chinese and none of them support your rather uninformed Sinophobic paranoia.

Has anybody heard of Katherine Tai? She is responsible for developing and coordinating US international trade, commodity and direct investment policy, and overseeing negotiations with other countries. That this lady is totally invisible and never heard of tells us that trade, peace and prosperity for the American people is of little concern to the real power in Washington. Its objectives are 98% hegemony, 1% liberalism and 1% peace & prosperity for America.
I wonder what would happen if a state like germany would say "no" to the us and stopping the arms shipping to ukraine and doing business with russia like in the good "old" days. what would be the consiquences?
1. Western media would launch a slander / propaganda campaign against whatever german officials decided to pursue their own policies. (they did this for Viktor Orban for opposing aid to Ukraine) 2. The opponents of said official(s) would be given significant funding from US backed groups to give them an unfair advantage on top of positive media coverage to help them win. 3. If 1 or 2 fail then likely lawfare would be conducted, accusing them of some sort of made up crime to slander and destroy their reputation even more if not arrest or kick them out entirely.
In one key overlooked respect Glenn is even more prodigiously gifted than Sachs/Mercouris because he's not even speaking in his native language/mother tongue.

Imagine that from 1999 a mind in a human, for the first time started reading the the good book ? And in that book there are accounts and statements, and in that mind everything had come to fruition because that is his whole purpose. Why do you think things into disarray ?
"China" in its history has seen Empire home & gone. Hittite, Assyrian, Persian, Macedonian, Roman, Maurya, Byzantine, Islamic Caliphates, and even it's invader Mongol Empire, Ottoman, Mughal not to mention the others 11 Civilizations That Disappeared Under Mysterious Circumstances, and China's DNA is still here.
Europa has become irrelevant because its leaders forgot who they are and found it easier and more comfortable with being LED by others. Look at Germany today. What do you see? This is not the country that I know and whose culture I admire. Good discussions led by a EUROPEAN.
Yes Jeff, did you watch Glenn recently and thoroughly answer previous question about Crimean war re warmed? Wasn't the video title, ask Glenn I gave a Norwegian homework, and he didn't disappoint
Thank you all for the meetup. Anglosaxons do have a national behavior that is problematic - and to a lesser extent the rest of the West. That said, in this particular video the stance of Jeffrey, and a little that of Alexander are surprisingly caricatural to the point of being ridiculous. The only novel and reasonable points were those of Glenn: BRICS+ have adopted a structure that promotes balance, internal appeasement between natural opponents, and external fairness, while NATO is structured as a feudal overlord-vassal system, hostile to the rest of the world. Onto criticisms - let me say that i often watch Jeffrey, and watch Alexander daily, and i love him for his neutrality and rigor, from which he rarely departs like he has here. 1 Jeffrey and Alex dissert as if they had never heard of limited resources, competition, nationalism, property. Almost all living entities act in their best interest; in most areas resources are limited and to be competed over. 2 China, like other BRICS nations, is not particularly benevolent: they defend their interest, they acquire resources, power, and exert it, often to the detriment of others. In most sectors the more power China has, the less other nations have. China has benefited tremendously from the work of western nations, for instance through copying inventions and outright intellectual property theft - i do not deny that the West has also benefited from and committed wrongs against China, this is amply reminded by others. Usually individuals, companies, nations, like to be rewarded for their work; there are good reasons, in particular evolutive reasons, why humans and other animals behave this way. BRICS know quite well they are not benevolent themselves, there is intense competition between BRICS, like on territorial claims. Presumably once the West will be somewhat subdued after it has self-destructed tensions will increase within the BRICS - already it's not total happiness, Saudi Arabia for instance has been lukewarm to entering the organization. The point for everyone is to manage those issues intelligently, which the US and EU are not doing, not to deny the oppositions of interests as Jeffrey and Alex do here. 3 Jeffrey and Alex often observe that it would have been in the EU's interest to partner with Russia, rather than forcing it to turn to China, but if as they claim the more power China has the better, then why is it not good that Russia increases trade with China to the detriment of the West ? Russia always was wary of China's need for raw materials and its ambitions over Siberia, shouldnt they criticize that ? Now they are in great terms with China but how will it be in a century ? Many russians - and i as a french - hope that western Europe will make peace with Russia so as to balance China's influence. 4 Why have humans invented property, intellectual property in particular, if not because it is good for individuals to maintain power over some (their) goods and the use of their work ? 5 Jeffrey recommends that western nations boundlessly relish China's growth, thus approriation of resources throughout the world, and on the other hand he often denounces exploitation by the US of the natural resources and work of other countries: so is exploitation only good in one direction ? China is a huge and very efficient nation it was obviously going to become a dominant power, and is today the single most powerful nation, all its decisions have a major impact, they shape events. I observe that so far China is taking decisions which are not terrible for myself, my nation France, and the rest of the world, but they are not ideal for me. I have no guarantee that in the future China will not use its power with worse consequences for France. Generally i consider it is desirable to keep a certain balance among powers, i think that multipolarity and the BRICS favor that, and that letting China develop its influence without opposition probably is not ideal for the world. Is it good that China manipulates its currency to promote its interests, uses protectionist policies like tariffs, or limitation of CRMs exports like on graphite or antimony ? China has, i surmise purposefully though that is a natural consequence of protectionism, promoted consumerism in the West as a revenge on how the West promoted the use of opium in China. Where is the right boundary on economic warfare, for China, for the US,... ? I think that the way to fix that boundary is through intelligent competition, economic players have to try and figure what measures are acceptable "intelligently": trying to maximize their long-term utility, which involves making reasonable introspective efforts to develop self-interest that is compatible with others' - this is where goodthink fails and turns into nihilism as it sees itself failing. I think that when nations focus on their interest intelligently, thus both introspectively and empathically for other nations, they maximize global utility. This ought to be a result in mechanism design if you wish, that the optimal unsupervised design procedure is selfish but maximally self and other-aware; supervision can have players make extra efforts but there is no one above nations - at least for some practical purposes, and my lippmanian belief is that collectivism, here at the supernational level, is misguided because there is no entity more intelligent than nations. I will not discuss China in WTO or other particular points, they are technical and my comment is already long enough, but contrary to Jeffrey's irenism i believe it is good to ponder reasonably aggressive policies - eg like those China uses. 6 In fact the attitude of Jeffrey and Alex is typical of men past their 50s, whose personal situation is settled, who do not have to consciously deal with competition, who are happy with what they get from their routine, easily enough - of course some days are more demanding than others. Nowadays they are listened to by millions of people every month and they are pleased with that, Jeffrey and Alex are authorities, they command great power. Surely if they were totally ignored, if they did not have viewers, income, a loving wife, loving kids,... they would probably try to gain all that from the rest of society, all those resources are scarce and men compete for them. 7 I could go on and on. My conclusion is that international competition in all sectors is a good thing, inasmuch as it is not too violent - which is not easy to estimate precisely. The US adopt a pathological attitude in competition, way too violent, and their vassals. All these countries act destructively for themselves and the rest of the world. But critics like Jeffrey and Alex should beware to keep self-critical and not indulge in caricatural, silly rants against everything the US do.
as an indian im asking wtf is UK doing in the permanent membership of United nations i mean UK is a weak country get the eff out or keep crying about brics
Jeffrey Sachs isn’t an economist all he does is going around saying the US bad, China good or US bad and Russia good. To be honest I have no idea what he is if you want to see a real economist look up Michael Pettit.
To slander Jeffery Sachs saying he isn't an economist because he doesn't approve of US foreign policy towards other countries, and as such, doesn't align with your personal beliefs about the United States is naive. Professor Jeffery Sachs speaks not only as a distinguished economist from the University of Columbia but also as a person with decades of experience in international relations between countries, having observed nations, leaders, interactions and behaviors firsthand, in person. Again, to slander or discredit him because his statements about the United States' behavior don't align with your views of the United States isn't a good way to learn or understand anything new to yourself. If you are looking for Russophobe or anti-China media there is plenty of that elsewhere.

You can make a lot of money from the market regardless of whether it strengthens or crashes. The key is to be well positioned.

All you need is a good capital and the service of a professional broker, with those your investment will most certainly produce high yields.

Jeffrey Sachs isn’t an economist all he does is going around saying the US bad, China good or US bad and Russia good. To be honest I have no idea what he is if you want to see a real economist look up Michael Pettit.
Michael Pettis is what I mean.
@@Steve-e5cTry Michael Parenti.
he is a true genius brilliant
To slander Jeffery Sachs saying he isn't an economist because he doesn't approve of US foreign policy towards other countries, and as such, doesn't align with your personal beliefs about the United States is naive. Professor Jeffery Sachs speaks not only as a distinguished economist from the University of Columbia but also as a person with decades of experience in international relations between countries, having observed nations, leaders, interactions and behaviors firsthand, in person.
Again, to slander or discredit him because his statements about the United States' behavior don't align with your views of the United States isn't a good way to learn or understand anything new to yourself. If you are looking for Russophobe or anti-China media there is plenty of that elsewhere.
I dont understand why you dont tell Putin to get out of Ukraine.
USA/UK/West - The only future left for them is the innovation of LGBTQ technology.....😂😂😂
