One on One - Economist Jeffrey Sachs 

Prof Jeffrey Sachs, Prof John J Mearsheimer and Prof Stephen Cohen are few in the western politic, even in academic still being rational when it comes to anything with Russian. We need more of them to make the world a safer place.

Professor Sachs is a rare and exceptional human being that the world and in particular American leaders need to listen to. Professor Sachs summation and course of action is the only sane and sensible course. The Washington war mongers need to pull the heads in and do what is right for humanity. Not there war machines or misguided egos if they want humanity to survive.

Prof Sachs, hopefully the world leaders listen to you. Peace!

Jeffrey Sachs is truly a great thinker of our time and a very impartial one too; and also an expert international economist. Keep up the great work and sharing your opinion for solutions to world peace.

Jeffrey Sachs just spoke the inconvenient truth.

It is clear that the world has absolutely gone crazy when people like Prof Sachs who think rationally and always hold peace as the ultimate goal represent the minority of opinion

Thank you professor ,for speaking the truth .

Thank you Prof. Sachs for your courageous voice of reason!

Prof Sachs is one professional I can really trust. Rare species of honest human being in a world of lies and selfish agenda.

Sensible persons should unite to save the world.Thanks Sachs.

The problem in the United States is that there is no government that decides. Those who decide are the military-industrial complex. Now that the Afghanistan war is over, they must have a new war for their weapons. It is completely inconceivable that the United States in 2022 will not get better. Had Zelensky been able to implement the Minsk Agreement for the United States, which they approved in 2015, the war would never have started. But that is when big business money is more important than human life.I have listened to Jeffrey several times before because he seems sensible and I have many other Americans on my favorite list, but the power in Washington is regardless of government in the hands of the military-industrial complex that is now looking for replacements for Afghanistan and Iraq.

Prof Sachs true Patriot to his country USA n The World. Rare individual.

A big fan of Professor Sachs. The difference between Professor Sachs and the other "experts" is Professor Sachs is honest.

Prof Sachs is a visionary, I saw an interview of his about Syria and it was smart and true to the point, now he puts his finger on the wound again, I hope someone at the US administration would hear and react , but of course, they don't need someone to tells them they're wrong, they need blind followers.

TRUTH always prevail. Thank you Prof Jeffrey Sach - PEACE

Very humbled Professor Sach.

Excellent presentation,

Jeff is not only an economist he is a statesman. An authentic one too.

I admire prof Sachs as he speaks with great sense and every word speaks logic. I agree completely with your analysis. 👍👍

Prof Jeffrey Sachs is one of few cool headed influentials. Biden is no comparison.

Thank you Prof Sach, peace for the world.

Very clear and comprehensive honest delivery . Why doesn't White House take heed of what this brilliant professor says . Sadistic and disingenuous of US policy makers. Here is this truthfull professor conceding that Putin is right. Thank you its always heartening to hear Prof Sachs . Indian Military Veterans .

Total agree and support Professor views and opinions. I pity normal ordinary Ukrainians who already die and more to come as a result of US + NATO + UK + Canada + Australia Hegemony Continuance. Sad that citizens of these countries are not able to see the self inflicted harms to themselves coming soon if not already affected.

The arrogance of the EU and the US is unimaginable. US- OK we are sending weapons to Ukraine because we want peace. Give me a break the US wasn’t interested in peace in this particular situation.

Great guest! Thanks

Dump USD = peace and stability !

A voice of reason.

Spot on! Professor.

Very good discussion. Jeffrey Sachs is right and knows what he is saying. He is very sensible.

Mr Sachs has been always right on the point ever since I have been following from 2008 Financial Debacles and Enron WorldCom era

Great interview! Professor Sachs’s analysis is spot on.

Brilliant.!

Itzak Rabin “. The graves are a testimony to the politicians failure to negotiate peace “.

Professor Sachs, you are monumental ! I had the privilege to be a student of yours! Thank you for your integrity and the principles you stand for, something scarce nowadays in our Western institutions. Fortunately, people like you, Professors Noam Chomsky, John Mearsheimer, Stephen Walt, Ilan Pappé, Shlomo Sand aren’t afraid to speak out and be on the side of what is right and morally acceptable.

Professor Sachs, how I wish the USA politicians and EU leaders litsen to you! My salute to you for your pragmatism and support for the poor nations.

Professor Jeffrey Sachs is a true champion of peace. A brave and honest American advocating for a multipolar world that considers the well-being of all countries.

All excellent and intelligent commentary on this intensely concerning subject and exposes the truth and reality behind it all.

Brilliant contribution from prof. Sachs, very valuable!

Prof Jeffrey Sachs absolutely correct.

Estoy muy de acuerdo con este razonable caballero.

First normal and reasonable reaction I hear in three months!!!!

Strong analytical assessment, very healthy criticism with highly plausible solutions. Thank-you

Prof, I am a big fan of yours, you are wise man💪💪💪👍👍👍

If we were living in a world dominated by reason...

Finally a man with sense, pity there are so few of them.

Glad to hear one of the few intelligent and wise voices from the U S. Pity that the U S regime is not listening.

Professor Jeffrey Sachs, You can save the world and move us forward, go for President in 2024.

Agreed. Sanctions might actually harm USA as more capital could be shifting away from the dollar.

That´s really very very good. I am translating this to Greek. And I say, let´s make Sachs the general secretary of the UN - before it´s too late.

Nobody in the West is listening to Prof Jeffrey Sachs.

Very sensible perspective

If Ukraine is to remain one country it needs to be neutral and allow the disparate population to achieve disparate goals and needs. No forcing one future on everyone. If the Donbas republics are to remain separate then their existence should be recognized and respected. Their people shouldn't be forced to be a part of a country that wants to kill them, force them to change, or imprison them.

I love listening to this sane rational guy. Why isn't he the US President?

Just love Jeffrey- please lısten to him.

World leaders should think and be like Jeffrey How much better the world would be Thanks Jeffrey

Thank you very much Jeremy Sachs. It's uplifting to know that there are still some intelligent people in the world in the midst of all the mass hysteria and insanity. You are a beacon of hope.

Great interview from guest and journalist.

only sane solution thx Mr Sachs

Proffesor Jeffrey Sachs is a very intelligent man. I enjoy listening to his interviews.

Spot on!

I generally don't care for the guy but he is spot-on on this.

Prof Jeff Sachs hits the nail on the head surprisingly no Senators in the USA would like to land an ear and bring about peace through diplomacy. May God bless you Sir.

Yeah , Listen to this man his every Word is worth gold

Be blessed be economists intellectual cell if production unit is that

Agree With Professor Sach, sanction would not resulted as desired. Only it will Buberang.

Amazing video

Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Jefferey Sachs!!!!!!!!!!!

Prof. Jeffrey, thank you for your sensible views of the world.

Very good points.

Jeffery one of the Best don’t miss on him

nail on the head

When Professor Sachs speaks, I listen.

Great analysis

Well Said....👏👏👏👏👏

This is news, really. I appreciate your effort

Thanks your show with Jeffrey Sachs is yea opener I listen to others channels and basically (independent) they view is the same but Jeffrey put in such language like nobodies' Thanks again and I would like to mention language is a powerful tool.

So far the best speech from the west

Well spoken Jeffrey ☀️ 🌿

Just imagine Jeffrey Sachs president of the US...

Correct analysis provided by Professor Sachs.

Prof Sachs your analysis is highly commendable

Professor Jeffrey Sachs is perfect Professionalism in his every speech about Economic and Climate change matter even in Political affairs .

I truly respect Prof. Sachs👍

Prof. Sachs is a brilliant public speaker, thinker and writer. However, I don’t agree with him on a small part. I believe Russians’ demands are pretty reasonable.

Thanks for the unbiased opinion

I agree with Mr. Sachs. USA wants Russia to stay engaged with Ukraine to keep Russia focused on the western border for geopolitical reasons. Putin put his rationale out, which should not be disregarded. Whole thing is tragic and pathetic at the same time. Zelensky is more about being actor then the leader and he created pathetic figure on the world stage. The world has no chances to stay uninvolved, neutral in the phase of globalism.

Very good interviewer.

Indeed, sanctions imposed on Russia has plunged the global community into a deep catastrophic depression and starvation for millions around the world...and various economic collapses

Well said. I hope world leaders put pressure on America to change it’s distractive path. We have some dumps in the Biden administration.

Mr Jeffrey was totally right after the war has been existing over 8 months. He is a very smart Professor.

The interviewer said that Germany is traditionally pacifistic! Does he have no knowledge of history?

Food for oil In 1992, Putin was investigated for a deal he oversaw while an official in the mayor’s office. The deal involved the export of $100m worth of raw materials in exchange for food for the citizens of St Petersburg. The materials were exported, but the food never arrived. Marine Salye was put in charge of a city council investigation into the deal, and fastidiously kept the documents from that time. Papers granting export permits to companies involved in the deal appear to show Putin’s signature. Salye told Bureau reporters working for Al Jazeera’s People and Power: ‘The raw materials were shipped abroad but the food didn’t materialise. There’s 100% proof that in this Putin was to blame. As a result in 1992 - when there was no food at all - the city was left with nothing. The evidence I have is as solid as it gets.’ Salye continued: ‘We also found out that Putin - well, his committee - made bartering contacts to get food for the city. He issued licences. And commodities - wood, metal, cotton, heating oil, and oil - flew out of the country.’ The investigation at the time did not turn up any evidence that Putin had personally benefited from the deal. The Kremlin denies Putin ever signed the documents. Salye died of natural causes weeks after talking to the Bureau. Twentieth Trust Putin moved on from the oil for food scandal, rising through the ranks and being elected president in 2000, after serving in the role for several months following the resignation of Boris Yeltsin. Despite his rise, rumours continued to bug the politician. In June 1999, as Putin prepared for the role of first deputy prime minister, a criminal case was opened looking into his past. Lt. Col. Andrei Zykov, a former senior investigator at the Russian Interior Ministry, was put in charge of criminal case number 144 128. Zykov was given the task of investigating a construction company, Twentieth Trust. Officials suspected the company had been used to siphon money from St Petersburg’s city budget in the early 1990s, when Putin worked in the city office. The company continued to receive government funding despite being in debt. Zykov told the Bureau, ‘The question was, why? A corporation shouldn’t receive any public money if it is in debt. But it was getting more and more funding. The answer is they were bribing the St Petersburg mayor’s office.’ Unlike Salye’s investigation, Zykov feels Putin did personally benefit from the scheme. He alleges: ‘We investigated and found out that the Twentieth Trust corporation built a house for Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin on the shores of Lake Komsomolskoye, as well as a villa in Spain,’ said Zykov. Putin’s dacha compound on the banks of the lake was set up by Putin and colleagues in 1996. However, in 2000, Russia’s prosecutor general shut the investigation down on the grounds of ‘insufficient proof’. Zykov was fired a year and half later. We asked the Kremlin to respond to Zykov’s claims. It declined to do so. Sign up for email alerts from the Bureau here.

Fast forward to October 16, 2022. He was right all along...

Lord help us all. 🖤♥️💛💚

Prof. Sachs is such a brilliant man. I would vote for him as president with my hands and legs.

Jeffrey Sachs a real philanthropist, and a clear mind thinker in a world of opportunists who are keen to bet with others' lives.

We need more like this gentleman, who understand this situation ✌️

Unfortunately the walk backs the USA and the EU have to make is far too humiliating for that to happen. Putin and Russia will not relinquish territories won and with the 30 year history of non-compliance to negotiated Russian-US/EU agreements, Russia is right to do so. The only expansionist parties today seen to be the USA and the EU. The NATO or proposed "global NATO" is nothing more than expansionism under another name. Russia and China are far too busy and prooccupied trying to lift the standards of living including the security of its people to think about expansionism. Their relative self-sufficiency indicated by their relative low external debt levels attests to that. They've little motivation to adopt expansionist agendas. Taiwan has been recognised as an unrelinquished rogue breakaway province of China since after WWII and the civil War that ensued. In fact for decades the Taiwan-based Chinese Nationalist Party laid claim to be the legitimate government of all of China! Taiwan reintegration into China is a non-negotiation issue.

Professor Sachs is the best analyst

Here is the person better than Bernie Sanders on a kinder world, economically. His honesty is similar or beats Jordan Peterson of Canada. His vision for world peace is above average. My differences with him is I wish he emphasized the need for Africa to learn and apply. It is shameful for year round warm Africa to suffer on food because relatively small and one season Ukraine is in trouble. Investing smartly and better land policies can help Africa feed itself and the world with relative ease. Invest in free water more than tractors+... My bonus: Bad Trump got elected because of worse Clinton and worst u.s election system. Some guilty one -eye Americans are blaming the good , bad, or OK Trump voters, Russia, Wikileaks, FBI director, etc. Your terrible system even contribute to 01/06. Open your eyes and act, or stop opening your mouths to waste our time.
