Professor Sachs is a very experienced and knowledgeable expert on his field about foreign and international geopolitics and affairs and so on but a BIG BUT he should not keep promoting and talk about climate change crisis, WHO’s pandemic hoax and mRNA-vaccine.
Mr Sachs is absolutely totally WRONG and WOKE about these type of corrupt science and medical research.
This is also very important to be aware of about Professor Sachs.
His major problem is the same as Professor Diesen's and every other academic; they simply cannot even conceive of the evil of the people whose decisions they're analysing. So they're constantly reverting to the "mistakes were made" fallback position. The Ukraine war is a huge strategic blunder but it was never a mistake. It's a crime. Indeed, an enormous series of hideous crimes. The architects of the war don't care one whit about who wins the conflict. They profit from the process either way.
They don't care:
-who we fight against
-who we fight with
-who we kill
-how many we kill
-what happens after the war
-how many of their own people they rob, impoverish, or kill
-etc.
War is the most profitable racket they know. A golden gravy train ("grave-y" - get it?)
People have to make adult decisions. I respect Jeff Saks positions on geopolitical events BUT I never "idolize" people. Just because I agree with some positions and analysis I always reserve the right to disagree. We have a society that believes in hero worship, you must believe everything a hero says instead of basing your decisions on other evidence you have
Thanks so much Glenn. I really enjoy you allowing Jeff to just talk for the allotted time he has, Alex M. just could never help himself and he would end up hijacking the conversation. In my opinion this is much better !
Listening to Trump is like listening to a stoned hippy
while everyone else sits around and says "Wow, Man, that's like, that's like really deep, Man,"
when in reality he's just talking gibberish.
"mmrmrmmr herr, uhdurrurmrrmrumruh hurr, uhhdrrummumu.." [your average Trump sentence]
It's really very simple, and can be expressed thus:
"Dear America, if you want us to buy more of your stuff, try making stuff that is less shit."
But no, American stuff being less shit isn't on the agenda. What is on the agenda is forcing other countries to buy more American shit, via tariffs, or any other levers, legal or (likely) illegal, that Trump feels like applying against those countries, whether they are friendly or unfriendly.
Take NATO. NATO is a protection racket. Trump says Europe must spend more money on NATO. Where does the funding come from? European taxpayers. So if European (including British) politicians cave in to Trump's demands, they are de facto handing over powers of taxation to a foreign government (the USA). That should not be acceptable to any European/British citizen.
I would go as far as defining the handing over of powers of taxation to a foreign state (even if only de facto, not de jure) as treason, with all the consequences that should flow therefrom.
This is where we are at. The United States has run out of money and raising taxes on American citizens will be massively unpopular. Therefore, they'll raise taxes on foreign citizens instead. Have no doubt about this. This is what Trump's agenda is. He's even set up a department for it, called the External Revenue Service. He's not even trying to hide it. It's right there for all to see.
Will European politicians stand up for their sovereignty, or will they sell out their countries?
I still don't understand the obsession with every word out of Trump's mouth. He is a con artist and a bafoon. is that not clear? this attention to Trump is a reflection of a delusion to think words mean anything to the US political hacks.
If I can't sleep at night, I put on a Sachs 'interview' and boom, out like a light. This Harvard political economy man has so much more he could tell us about FDI and imperialism, how the capitalist imperialists work, but he doesn't. I lost interest in what he has to say long ago, simply because he says nothing interesting or useful. More to the point, because he doesn't say what he has to know.
“..But you CAN'T HOLD ALL ELSE EQUAL, people are not only consumers, they're also producers, or workers, and citizens of a country….”
Actually that’s what makes it worse for Americans. They live in a country where most of what they buy is sold by oligopolies and monopolies, that also corrruptly control politicians, so that labour has poor bargaining power and interest rates are used as a class warfare tool.
Sum total: Trump tariff walls will lead to even WORSE outcomes for Americans: higher prices for everything inside fort America, while wages don’t rise.

Climate change is a real problem with already hard impact on many people.
No one serious is complaining about a political commentary mentioning this pressing crisis.
...yawn...
Stop bot.

Glenn, this was an excellent discussion. Thank you!
To have a vision one has to learn from the past mistake of indulging in a Forever War which achieved nothing.
War vanquished Greece 2000 years ago . England is in its death throes.
War didn’t make America great.
What did seems not to be understood by our intellectual class.
Not understood? Or just not discussed?

You are correct, of course, but they just cannot stand it when someone else cannibalizes us. We are their's to cannibalize. So much for globalism.
