Thank you for the timeline of the discussion. Very helpful
I don’t know what to make of Jeffrey Sachs.
Mike Benz provides some troubling background about Sachs and his closeness to Bono starting at 16 min mark … https://x.com/MikeBenzCyber/status/1930568736370573409

Mixed bag. I’m not a fan. That said, an argument is judged on its merits, not solely where it comes from.
.
.
Just to be clear, doesn’t mean he’s necessarily correct (or all right or all wrong), or that what colors his position should be ignored.
.
Point well-taken; thank you.
DITTO
THIS
TRUTH has no agenda.
He is critiquing American Foriegn policy, since at least the ’50’s.
It doesn’t matter if HE has an agenda, the TRUTH does not.
Mike Bentz is a similar counter point to Jeffery Sachs, and again is it TRUE is the criterion we should judge by.
Sachs take in our history with Russia matches with Kennans, and not coincidentally with President Putins, and reeks of THE TRUTH.
Ditto, his abreviated recollections of our relationship with Iran .
WE have been the spoiled kid bully on the block, so consistently that I just start out ASSUMING thats the case, in any oc these scenarios.
And, reggretably becayse we have been so consistently gaslighted, with utter demonisation of both the leaders and the peoples of other countries, I am open to believing the Iranians are not crazy, just as President Putin is not insane, etc.
Always use an appropriate amount of salt on anybody’s “information”.
Sachs has been vocal and precise in discussions I have seen about who it was who broke the Minsk agreement.
It helps as a listener to have historical knowledge.
And it should go without saying that as with any interview with anyone, discernment is a plus.
Off to listen now….
Like what Sachs says or not, he appears to have the facts.
And, it all seems to make sense.
Those offended by his stance on Israel should know that Israel is itself split.
The religious in Israel are peaceful and don’t want war.
The war mongers in Israel, like those in the US are not God fearing people. They are driven by evil.

What a waste of time listening to Sachs.
Sachs is heavily involved with the UN and a big supporter of 2030. He advises policy for the 2030 project.
He’s also for open borders for the US.
Sachs and Tucker are bashing Israel again.
“Ho, Zion! Escape, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon.”
For thus says the LORD of hosts, “After glory He has sent me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye.
For behold, I will wave My hand over them so that they will be plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me. (Zechariah 2:7, NASB)
Eye To Eye Bill Koenig researches every time America does Israel wrong some natural disaster comes our way.
I used to wonder why the US was fighting so many wars in the middle east, when it seemed to offer us no advantage and considerable disadvantage.
It’s not solely about Israel.
90% Israel/10%energy
This ratio of likes says a ton.
One of the things I admire most about Trump is his pragmatic approach to friends and foes alike
We really need to be rid of the false choice of the either/or dichotomy, it’s a sneaky trap
Most Israelis, like most American ‘Jews”, are atheist’s. They despise people like you.
They denied Jesus when he walked among them but in the end every knee will bend!
yeah i know God wants us to have nuclear war and use children to blackmail US leaders
Right from the get-go, Tucker:
“Donald Trump ran as a “peace candidate”, he was going to end the biden administration’s disastrous war in Ukraine…”
And it seemed a credible promise, because all he had to do was end the US support and it would end.
Tucker continues:
“…and for the past seven months, he’s been trying to do just that…”
BS. All he has to do is end US support.
Once again, Tucker serving his role in the Theater.
And the Theater-goers eat it up. By the end of today, there will be hundreds of reader comments appended to this article debating the finer points painted by this vignette, while the tectonics under their feet continue the inexorable movement toward the coming totalitarian subsidiary US in the coming “multi-polar global governance” led by ascendant industry-tech engine China.

“All he has to do is end US support.”
When President Trump implemented the tariffs there was almost universal agreement that they would lead to total collapse of the market. This did not happen. Similarly, there is almost universal agreement that disengaging from foreign interventionism would be ruinous. Perhaps, though, the result of extricating ourselves from a failing and costly worldwide American Empire would be positive. At least we could redirect our resources to stopping the ghastly illegal alien invasion that is destroying what remains of our own country.
The challenge with simply guillotining support to Ukraine is dealing with US Senators who grift off Ukraine, and whose supprort PDJT needs for OBBB and the like. Maddening, certainly, but a factor nevertheless.
Russia will end this war by defeating Ukraine. Trump has no say in the outcome.
“All he has to do is end US support.” Trump probably will, after the midterm elections.
Trump’s priority should be the ‘enemy at home’, and as many deportations as he can accomplish.
I heard talk that the BBB limits deportations to a million per year, if true, there’s no reason for any limitations.
Around 50:00 – 60:00 Sachs makes the point that President Trump simply does not have control or leverage over the US elements that initiated the war and cause it to continue. He says that no US president has had control for 50 years or more.
I’m slowly getting through this interview in 10 – 20 minute pieces. Very clear and credible exposition so far. Thanks, Sundance.
Correct by Mr. Sachs. The CIA/deep state is running this proxy war, not the Trump administration. But why PDJT has not called Ratcliffe to put an end to these misadventures is a mystery…likely threats to his family?
PSJT and Ratcliffe can be ignored or given lip service while the opposite is being planned.
How exactly do you suggest that Trump “end US support”? Congress has appropriated money and equipment to send to Ukraine. Trump was already impeached once for just putting a temporary hold on aid to Ukraine back in 2020.
Meanwhile the CIA continues to work at cross-purposes to Trump. He still does not have complete control over what is supposedly “his” administration.
I dont like Sacks either
but what he describes is a huge reality
that our media hides away.
And if we are serious we must accept and deal with this reality.
The fact of the out of control intelligence state is so horrid that
you want to look away.
Who has been assassinating Presidents?
Sacks forgets that Russia is a pipsqueak superpower.
The Russian economy is about the size of Italy’s.
10 or 20 times smaller than the US and EU.
Russia is a threat mostly because they choose to be
threatening. When the price of oil goes down they
will not be able to afford their military.
The question not asked is what do we gain by breaking up Russia.
The answer is chaos and an expanded China.
It does not have to be this way, and Trump seems to see that.
The key seems to be how you bind the peace in
Ukraine.
Trump wants to step back, but also
bind the peace with American rights to access to critical
minerals. Certainly a better idea than depending
only on diplomacy and the lazy, flakey and fractious Europeans.
Another reality that Sacks skips over is that Ukrainians
have a justified depth of hate for Russia that is beyond our own experience.
Russia under Stalin committed a genocide against 8 million or
more Ukrainians early in the 20th century.
The New York Times and Duranty won the Pulitzer for covering up
the genocide, but Ukrainians remember.
Trump will have to force and bind a peace.
And that seems to be what he is preparing to do.
That “pipsqueak” Russia has hypersonic missiles that we can’t shoot down.
Stalin was not from Russia. He was from Georgia. He was installed to control the USSR and had no love for the Russian people either.
Eastern Ukraine is made up of 90% Russians. Same with Crimea.
Ukraine was once the capital of the USSR.
I live in an area composed of many Russian and Ukrainians. They don’t hate each other and have family in both countries.
You’re spreading lies.
Jeffrey Sachs is a sane voice of reason. Sadly, there is a dearth of reason these days.
Jeffrey Sachs Blasts US Sanctions on Russia: “Just one absolutely naive idea after another.”
By Ahmed Adel
June 02, 2025
Jeffrey Sachs, a world-renowned professor of economics and bestselling author, recounted how he warned senior US officials that sanctions on Russia would fail. His statement comes as Daleep Singh, the US deputy national security adviser for international economics, said a large flow of Russian weapons is still powered by electronic components from companies in the United States and allied countries.

“By Ahmed Adel, June 02, 2025”
I seem to recall SD doing a fine piece (or 3) long before that based on his actual travels regarding how Russia positions itself to counter the effect of run-of-the-mill sanctions. Especially with the EU pearl clutchers doing what they do.
The more voices, the better, that’s how Truth eventually vets itself
Pragmatism good
False dichotomy bad
I believe that guy Sacks/Sachs is the same guy my late green Pope eulogised and together with Shellenhuber – a German pretend scientist – were mainly responsible for the notorious Green Encyclical. Soooo be careful with him.
The truth is always found in context of history….
Professor Sachs’ willingness to discuss facts about current events noticeably accelerated after he was stonewalled on covid investigation. Redpilled?

Jeff probably believes that the large missiles that Iran has built are for delivering dates to market. Iran has spent one trillion dollars to develop nuclear energy despite having the cheapest petroleum prices at home. Clinton had an agreement with North Korea. They have dozens of nukes now. Iran is funding Hamas and Hezbollah to deliver Meals on Wheels.Jeff is always right.

We all have good reason to be disgusted with the Ukrainian government. It is a dictatorship that outlaws rival parties and Christian churches. Their violent attacks on ethnic minorities have been ignored by our idiotic neocons and our press. Time began in 2020 to these morons. The intelligence agency led 2014 coup and the unleashing of real life Nazis can’t be discussed. They don’t even want our government to be responsive to the people and throw their lot in with unelected bureaucrats in the Intelligence agencies. We all have good reason to be disgusted by neocons and our intelligence agencies.
With regard to criticizing Israel, has anyone read the Bible? Read through 2Kings and it will release you from the notion that you must accept whatever Jewish people do. Criticizing is not the same thing as trying to destroy.
It has been eighty-plus years since the last World War. There is likely no one alive today who experienced it. All that they see today is precisely what “Ike” warned us about: a very lucrative industry. This industry requires “continuous war” to feed itself.
Europe, also, has now forgotten the utter devastation that it experienced at the hands of the Germans. Apparently, the Germans have also forgotten what it meant to be defeated twice. They’re now ready to bring back Churchill’s “Operation Unthinkable” and go to war with Russia, just because it’s the biggest country that they can choose. And because it is stuffed with natural resources. (Russia doesn’t need to import anything, if it doesn’t want to.)
Meanwhile, our “Fourth Branch” is once again confident that any “World War” they ignite will simply remain a “European War.” That it will never touch the American mainland. Today, this is an extremely foolish assumption – it is altogether wrong.
“War. Is. Hell.” Remember that. But also, remember the words of one of our nation’s most-decorated (in battle …) Marines: “War is a racket.” The man who invented the term, “military-industrial complex,” was a supreme commander before he became commander-in-chief. (You basically can’t earn “six” stars …)
We have literally hundreds of “Four Stars” in our ranks today who have never commanded anyone, anywhere, in actual battle. Everything to them is utterly academic. And we know that they are on the 💰 “receiving end” of their decisions. They could draft 500,000 young American men and send them off to the meat grinder, and never personally feel a thing.
99% of Jeffery’s YouTube clips are TDS based in nature. He exalts China.
Jeffery is a Sach of S**t, not to be taken seriously.
.
Yes. Anything he says has to be filtered through the man’s leftist kumbaya ignorance of Muslim and Chinese motivations. You may notice that most sources he refers to are anti-Israel/Netanyahu and/or leftist. Have to parse the valid stuff, the facts from the propaganda. Annoying.

Someone needs to sit this man down and Clockwork Orange him while educating him on Muslim jihad. And since he’s a big history monger, ask him how “Israel” — before it even existed — caused nearly the entire Middle East to turn from Christian majority countries to Muslim.

I must lose the meaning of death to the little satan and death to the big satan.
Pretty much with the 4 years with Biden Iran got 6 Billion in cash and was left alone. Looks like they were busy enriching uranium? For what reason
They claim for medical purposes. Or at least that’s what I’ve seen lately.
Jeffrey Sachs is a well-paid influencer for the best interests of the Chinese Communist Party. No more. No less.
I find Mr. Sachs a bit self serving, especially giving his involvement with Russia after the initial collapse of the USSR. What a hot mess. I would like to know Sundance’s perspective on his Nato/Russia/Ukraine analysis. It seems spot on.
His view of Qatar, supporter of Muslim Brotherhood, is rubbish. The notion that Palestine would live peacefully side by side Irreal is rubbish, IMHO.
WWIII is getting closer!
Frightening!
Mr Sachs glosses over the problem of Hamas being the governing body, brutal as it may be, of the palestinians, and how that would be uncoupled, especially with those people saying Israel needs to vacate the entire area. At the same time, you have BB, who has never met a war he didn’t like, all with the MIC back-up, of course.
Mr Sachs also doesn’t think China is a threat, and he throws that in at the end, I guess expecting the viewer of not believing their lying eyes?
He seems to be a good historian, I’ll give him that.
It appears that his memory for historic events, the players, and dates are greater than his biases, but his biases are clearly there.
His analysis of how we got to where we are with Russia and Ukraine because of our violation of agreements with the USSR are spot on.
As an economist spreading the message of “sustainability” around the globe, my assumption is that he would have been one of the key players in the outsourcing of US manufacturing to China.
Jeanie is spot on with Hamas and Gaza, and virtually all of the commentors above her are as well.
Just a little info on Sachs:
Jeffrey David Sachs (/sæks/ SAKS; born November 5, 1954)[4] is an American economist and public policy analyst who is a professor at Columbia University,[5][6] where he was formerly director of The Earth Institute. He worked on the topics of sustainable development and economic development.[7]
Sachs is director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University and president of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.[8] He is an SDG Advocate for United Nations (UN) Secretary-General António Guterres on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of 17 global goals adopted at a UN summit meeting in September 2015.[9]
According to New York Magazine,
At about 1:18 or so, Jeffrey addresses Netanyahu and Israel.
How many times is it now that the Palestinians have been offered a separate land, only to say “no” because we refuse to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist. It was offered in ’48, again to Yasar Arafat, and at least one other occasion. Look at how they treat, and are treated by surround Arab states. They attempted to overthrow the King in Jordan where they are generally from, and the King tossed them out. Look at the refugee camps in Lebanon. Not exactly and example of how you want to be treated by your so called brother.
Should they live in peace with each other? Absolutely! Many Arabs, and Palestinians are citizens with the right to vote. It was the Palestinians who voted for their suicidal government in Gaza.
Jeffrey, for all his brilliance, obviously does not have a Biblically based perspective on that conflct.
