Professor Jeffrey Sachs is the President of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network and Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University. He is the author of many best selling books, including The End of Poverty and The Ages of Globalization. Here he is with probably the smartest and most accurate assessment of the Ukraine war, and American foreign policy more broadly, ever caught on tape
2+ hours? I don’t think so. Most of us gotta work. Tucker could be headed down the Bill O’rielly path. I wouldn’t jump on his wagon. Too many bumps past and future.
Yea, it’s long, but I guarantee it’s worth the time. Our problem today is that there’s so much we are not told. We know we’re being lied to by the media, & it’s been going on for years. Sachs has been working in the world of foreign relations & his personal experiences & insights about what has gone on before, causing the problems we have today, just have to be heard. You can then evaluate against what you know, or think you know.
A 2.5 hour conversation with Jeffrey Sachs - the President of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network and the Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University.
Uh - no thank you.
I’ll record it for later viewing. Thanks.
They don’t chat about climate. This is most all foreign relations - stuff he’s been involved in. He talks to journalists, he talks to diplomats. He discusses covid in here. Don’t just ASSUME. :-)
Well worth it. Sometimes you have to invest a little time on other than NFL or NBA.
When I see the word "Sustainable," two times, in the same introductory sentence, I definitely and righteously assume.
Indeed. Often the same folks who can't concentrate on an interview for 2 hours are the same folks who think nothing of spending 4-6 hours watching something of zero actual importance like football on a Sunday.
In the Cold War we were fighting marxism abroad. Now we are fighting it at home.

It’s fantastic. Everyone should watch this. We have to be the informed ones.
Increase the playback speed to 1.25 or 1.5 (depending on your tolerance) and break it down over several days.
This is really an interview worth hearing.
Talks big but he’s all over the place. Per Wikipedia:
Keynesian economist.
According to the Canadian journalist Naomi Klein, Jeffrey Sachs is one of the architects of “disaster capitalism” after his recommendations in Bolivia, Poland and Russia led to millions of people ending up in the streets.[79]
Sachs is a “long-time advocate of dismantling American hegemony and embracing the rise of China.”
In May 2022, Sachs said that the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 would be hard to beat and that Finland’s moves to join NATO would undermine a negotiated peace:
The Idealist: Jeffrey Sachs and the Quest to End Poverty, says that, although well intended, poverty eradication projects endorsed by Sachs have years later “left people even worse off than before”.
It says somewhere Nono wrote a foreword in one of his books. That’s all I need to know.
We blew up Nordstream. Guess he knows.
If you don’t have the time, I understand. Tucker’s interviews can really cover lots in the time allocated. It is best to listen while driving, flying, working out, walking, etc. Invest in a reasonably priced noise cancelling headphones.
Two good things about Tucker’s interviews: he speaks really clearly, and he is a disciplined interviewer.
I do not buy everything Tucker says, but I like his honest discussions. That is so rare on the new Fox News and always absent in the mainstream media propaganda networks.
He sounds like a fella making money off the misfortune of too many others. Like the arsonist getting paid to put out the fire.
“If there were a state of Palestine the fighting would stop today”
He really believes that. Naive. Doesn’t cost him anything to say it.
We started the war in Ukraine-NATO expansion.
Once again he’s all over the place. Borrows too much from the left-people like Bono.
Same here. Some of his views are out there. After all, he grew up in California.
He markets himself as a champion of who is the current fashionably oppressed, while ignoring his role in building up oppressors.
