Peace is the Result of Diplomacy, Never of War 

The best decision I ever made in my life was investing in financial market. Trust me guys, it pays!😊

Europeans and Anglo Saxons look down on Slavs as inferior. This mindset has been expressed over the few centuries by many western politicians. Read about it.

Very informative. Now we know why Iraq, Libya, Syria were/are so targeted.

I find it surprising that you appear to hold to the premise that the government still makes decisions based on what is best for all, when in fact, it is well documented that the government does exactly what it is told or paid to do on all matters except those of little or insignificant meaning to the masses.

The most intelligent conversation I have heard in a long, long time it's almost non existent in these crazy times and idiotic leaders. People are not educated and are totally ignorant of world history and I am afraid that all knowledge will be lost as the wise men and women are slowly disappearing and young people are being robbed from learning from the wise not to repeat the wrongs from the past but to learn from it. Education is so important for a better world, humanity and prosperity of all people. Just hoping and wishing is not enough we all need to work hard towards accomplishing it. Again Education Education education!!

There are very few Americans left who can genuinely be called a gentleman. Both of them are the one in this video that i am referring to. They earned my Love and Respect.❤❤❤❤🙏🙏😍😍

Beautiful discussion. I so wish sane people like this were the ones running the world.

An excellent summary of the failure of US Empire in only 40 minutes. Packed with historic accuracies.

This is a great interview. Wish more people view it. Thank you both.

The Soviet officer who stopped the launch was Vasili Arkhipov. He was a hero. Most people who don't know about these events. There are many crazy military now who only know about video war games.

Another great interview of Prof. Sachs, really is though-provoking one. I wish our leaders and presidents have 50% of thinking and understanding of Prof, then our world would be a better place to live.

"Peace is the result of Diplomacy, never of War"... Nice and wise words... Only problem is when you are convinced you are "exceptional", that you have a "divine" right to Rule the World, that your political ideas and model of democracy are the best and that you can impose them on the other Nations. Those words are even far more from REALITY when you have a group of military hardware companies employing 10+ million direct workers and 4+ million contractors who "of course" cannot and will not go bust if all of a sudden there is PEACE in the world... Those words are gone with the wind if you DO NOT want Peace! Simple proof (among many): The United States could have easily avoided the Ukraine war with a simple WRITTEN statement (as repeatedely BEGGED by President Putin thru all diplomatic channels): 1. "Ukraine will never join NATO" 2. "We guarantee Donbass Region will never be attacked again by the Ukraine Army". The Arrogant Hegemon just laughed at this simple request which would GUARANTEE PEACE in Ukraine!

Please keep healthy and continue to speak especially to students in universities and young people everywhere.

Enlightening discussion. Thanks for this interview

Thank you for speaking the truth.

Will be waiting to hear Prof. Sachs. One of the few that speaks the truth and enjoying seeing some squeam in their seats.

This is the kind of reasonable, objective, intelligent discourse that is today more important than perhaps ever before. Keep it coming, gentlemen.

Thank you for your insights. What we all need is PEACE!

Sadly, nobody (especially the world leaders) talks about peace. I hope more leaders can speak to Prof. Sachs.

Thank you for the interview. Two decent good gentlemen who work for peace.

Thank goodness for Mr Sachs. He is so erudite and has a deep knowlege of the flaws of the sytem which is geared towards self-interest.

About Ukraine: nation created in Lenin's time (not to be confused with the history of the city of Kiev and/or with Kievan Rus & its Rurik dynasty started by Prince Rurik of Novgorod; Novgorod is an ancient Russian city), but only theoretical/administrative terms, since it remained under Russian control in the Soviet era, the conformation of its territory today consists mainly of territories that have historically belonged to the Russians (from the center to the eastern and southern side) and the western side has historically belonged to Poland. Important issue about Poland: the h4tred of the Poles towards the Russians is immense and it is they who have partly influenced the western part of Ukraine, this h4tred is historical, since Poland and Russia have had multiple w4rs for several centuries, even the Poles invaded Moscow at some point and were driven out by the Russians (look for the monument to Minin and Pozharsky in Moscow's Red Square). Now if you add this historical h4tred towards Russia with Neo-Naz1 elements (in western Ukraine) that by default relate Russia to the greatest enemy of the Naz1s, that is, the Soviets, who ended up destroying their beloved H1tler, you will have a gigantic anti-Russian national1sm, which the United States has been able to use as a geopolit1cal tool against the Russ1ans. On the current crisis: The people of Donbass are ethnic Russians and they did not support the 2014 coup, as those who took control of Kiev (with US backing) are openly xenophob1c against the Russians, they even banned the Russian language in Ukraine, which is the native language of the people living in Donbass. Ethnic Russians have lived in Donbass for several centuries, so at the moment they are defending their families and the lands where they have lived for many generations. People living in Donbass voted in a referendum to gain more autonomy and stay *inside* Ukraine, the latter being important as it shows that the Western narrative that the Donbass conflict was started by "pro-Russian separat1sts" is not is so true and this was part of the typical western pr0paganda to confuse the world about reality and adapt everything to the western narrative of "it's Russia's fault", I repeat "the people of Donbass did not vote for independence from Ukraine and/or to join Russia, they voted to have more autonomy within Ukraine", in fact this is the basis of the famous Minsk agreements that Kiev and the West refuse to implement (accusing Russia of not complying with them, when Russia does not has obligations in the agreement), and it has to be repeated that the people of Donbass wanted this because they simply never accepted the 2014 coup, which brought to power people who h4te ethnic Russians. The Ukrainian army launched an 4ttack on these regions in 2014, moving its entire 4rsenal against the civilians of Donbass, this topic is important since the w4r takes place in the lands of Donbass, therefore civilian v1ctims are always the civilians who live in the Donbass (usually the Western media always interviews Ukrainian civilians living in regions that do not suff3r the real consequences of these w4rs), the people of Donbass won practically all the b4ttles, there were a lot of material on youtube about these b4ttles, where they showed civilians f1ghting aga1nst the Ukrainian army, but youtube has cens0red almost everything. These victories should not really surprise us too much, since the people of Donbass were defend1ng their homes against people who h4te Russians (their ethn1city), any of us would fight with full force if you see that your family is thre4tened by crazy rac1sts that h4te your friends and family, today after all the 4ttacks they have received by Kiev, if they hold a new referendum it is very sure that they will vote to join Russia, they have already seen the true face of the Westerners and of those they control Kiev today. It is interesting that the West always supports autonomies when they are initiated within en3my nations: H0ng K0ng in Ch1na, the K*rds in Syr1a, K0s0vo in Serb1a, Ch3chny4 in Russ1a and a long list. It is true that Russ1a supports those Russ1ans who live in Donbass, in fact it has more right to do so than the illegal military presence of the Y4nkees in northern Syr1a ("support1ng" the K*rds and steal1ng Syrian oil along the way), the inhabitants from Donbass are ethn1c Russ1ans, they are in lands close to the Russ1an border (secur1ty issue), they have an obvious connection with Russ1an culture and above all they share many family members with Russ1ans, for this reason after 2014 many residents of Donbass have obtained a Russian p4ssport (Russian citizensh1p). Possible w4r: If a w4r breaks out between Russ1a and Ukra1ne, it will be when K1ev attacks the Russ1ans living in D0nbass, because Russ1a has said for years that it will intervene with the Russian 4rmy to protect its citizens in any part of the world, including the D0nbass region, some believe that Russia will r0ot out the pr0blem, even reaching K1ev to cle4n up the g0vernment house that is under US c0ntrol. The US n4rrative about a possible Russian 1nvas1on of Ukra1ne is based on this last point, because the Y4nkees know very well that a provocation from K1ev is enough for Russ1a to 1ntervene and the Western med1a will have "pr0of" of the alleged 4ggress1on against the "peaceful" K1ev. The western n4rr4t1ve has always been based on l1es, they are heirs to the Br1t1sh emp1re, experts in this type of str4tegy: ly1ng, caus1ng d1vis1on and succeed1ng. The objectives of the Un1ted States: Everything written above explains some symptoms, but not the real cause of the confl1ct and the main objective. As everyone knows, the United States became the hegemon1c world power when Europe was totally destroyed in the Sec0nd W0rld W4r, destruct1on that also extended in Asia, China was the second nation to suffer more hum4n l0sses after the Sov1et Un1on. Therefore today, in a world where Ch1na has managed to 0vertake the United States in terms of GDP-PPP, becoming the first und1sputed w0rld p0wer in economic terms, the United States has no other alternative than to resort to w4r in order to ret4ke the hegem0ny that has been l0sing, a new c0ld w4r is necessary to d3str0y Russia economically and gain full c0ntrol of Western Europe (in ec0nomic and p0litical terms), this will help to c0nfr0nt Ch1na (the Western med1a is already mention1ng Ch1na in this European confl1ct). You have doubts? Just look at what N$TO's first secretary general, Lord Ismay, said, explaining NATO's goal: "to keep the USA in, the Russ1ans out, and the Germ4ns d0wn." The US is the one who needs this w4r, that's why the western med1a controlled by the western el1te push this w4r, the Ukrain1ans are just a che4p t0ol for the westerners. Now we must write using numbers to avoid western c3ns0rsh1p, long live fr33 w3stern express1on haha.

We are so grateful to have both of you, many thanks for this very insightful conversation.

Gorbachev, the greatest statesman? This man, the one who heralded the demise of his nation as the world's 2nd superpower and made many people homeless and destitute while at the same time enriching many industry officials and turning them into oligarchs almost overnight? Nothing great about him, or even considering him a statesman with a sense of good political know-how and imagination. Otherwise, he would've had the wisdom and ingenuity to deal with his country's problems at a time when that kind of statesman was needed most. Instead, he opened the door for the worst gang of traitors and con-men who had wormed their way into important positions in the communist party of Russia. If only Russia had a leader like Joseph Stalin at the time Russia would've never faced the problems it had to begin with. Regardless of what many people may think about the man he was one that surely can be called a great statesman.

Thank you, I’m so happy to hear Jeffrey talk we have to have more peaceful thinking people in our government.

I truly believe the world would be much better place if there are more wise and sensible people like you in USA.

Both of you are amazing for voicing out the truth.

Jeffrey Sachs is a great inspiration to me. I’m so glad there are truly rational and wise Americans speaking up about what the US is and has been doing and objectively assessing the impact of his country’s actions on the world. I hope his countrymen will listen to him. I sometimes get the impression that most Americans are in a state of slumber, leaving their arrogant leaders with a free hand to stir up conflicts and bully other countries, creating such a bad impression of Americans. What our world needs, and they can’t see, is for leaders who can cooperate with each other to deal with the problems facing our Earth.

I am sure the professor is a very honorable and nice human being. The tendency of nice people is to assume everybody is nice so their solutions to everything discounts that the real world has the opposite also and even if they acknowledge it some, they see the remedy is that we need to be nicer to them! The inteligencia's over-worn references to Scandinavian countries is falling apart since they now realize that the need to be part of NATO and being nicer to Putin is not a solution. Yes we wish that the world could be a better place but it is not now. The tension between the collective mind set and the individual freedom will go on.

What an enlightened interview/chat amongst you two and what a pleasure to listen to your reasoned talk. Gives me hope that we may yet avoid 3rd world war and nuclear armageddon.

An awesome interview. I accidentally came across it when I woke up this morning and found my phone youtube was still on so I spent the morning listening and how informative this is. Gives a very clear perspective of why the world is today. Much appreciated.

Both of you are amazing! I have been following your work as a Gen Z'er since the election of DT. I wish I hadn't been so late to the party, but listening to the likes of you both, and others like C. Hedges, A. Martin, R. Wolff, J. Ventura, R. Nadar, and even comedians such as Lee Camp, G. Elwood,etc. Has shaped my life in ways that is hard to describe. I am no longer a capitalist, but strive to find equality in all folks, no matter race or borders. Thank you for taking the time to educate, and dive deeper into issues that don't make sense if you follow the mainstream media. I appreciate all that you do to keep those who question these narratives informed without the gross hyperbole that is present in this R vs L and Russia vs Ukrane narrative. I am by no means smart, but I know right from wrong. And this hits the nail on the head.

Great interview with two beautiful minds. Thank you.

The system seems to be based in "we don't negotiate with terrorists". And then we call everyone who isn't an ally a terrorist. Complete psychopaths in the driver seat. Thank you also for pointing out how our system is completely broken. This is such an important and impactful conversation. It should be required listening.

It is truly stunning how quickly when lies are exposed the Liars moved to have new lies to replace the otherwise without even considering what may have caused them to be looking so bad right now

I thank you for your efforts. When I saw that you think the human impact on climate is so great, I couldn't watch to the end. I think you really need to reconsider your own view on this. First, CO2 has no effect on climate at all. First, the temperature rises mainly due to the intensity of cosmic rays and solar activity (which has been increasing for decades), and a few centuries AFTER THAT the CO2 only rises. In the years between 950-1450 the temperature was higher than in our time 2022 and mankind flourished. A higher CO2 content is favorable, which leads to a strong increase in plant growth and is of great benefit to nature and mankind. No harm! CO2 is only 0.038 percent in the atmosphere, the man-made share of CO2 is just three percent of the total CO2. Wake up and study the "forbidden knowledge"! (BTW I would be nicely surprised if this my comment will appear. That's the saddest truth of mankind today.

Why can't we elect people like Prof. Sachs? He has a clear understanding of the problems our species faces and what it will take to overcome them.

This is one of the most intelligent conversations I have listened to in a very long time. You’re going to be at the top of my list!

7 years of back-breaking and ad-nausuem of diplomatic talks via the Minsk accords to “stop the war” turned out to be fruitless after all. As long as criminal psychopathy exists amongst some of us, then diplomacy is useless; it does not produce “peaceful” results in EVERY hostage scenario.

Thank you for this exquisite conversation. The world should pay attention to the risks of a Nuclear Holocaust. The nearly doomsday incidences during the Cuban Crisis was particularly revealing and indeed scary. Khrushchev was the true hero in that incident for his courage to stand down and allowing Kennedy to take the kudos.

Yes Gorbachev was a great statement, but the disaster that he left 30 million Russian in a limbo outside Russia , that's maybe the issue the whole world has to deal with it right now...

I have heard of this story and it was true people have to understand in a nuclear war if no bombs fall in your area everything will be contaminated by nuclear fallout the lucky ones are the ones that are vaporized by the bomb

Why didn't Kennedy engage in "constructive engagement" with Vietnam before he started the war?

This video belongs on mainstream news channels but the rich and the military industrial complex will never allow it.

What a shame Sachs believes all the ´climate change` nonsense. Otherwise not a bad analysis.

I love your videos when the two of you are working together. Great content. By the way, I have expressed the same points of view in my RU-vid videos, RU-vid comments, Twitter, or private conversations.

I guess they can shut up some people, but not all people. Thank you Prof. Sachs.

Is neither "Democracy" nor the "leader" is err. Is societies' - Believe, Value and Deeds of "Capitalism". Not only the "US of A", but also nations that are plugged onto this "Capitalistic System", whom are at risk. The "New World Order" focus must shift away from the fault lines of ideologue and politics - "Democrats vs Republicans, West vs East, North vs South or even Liberalism vs Communism". The focus and thinking should be on how the whole world's human race, not only USA, were held hostage by this new class of Capitalistic System "feudal lords"? And made to pay "ransoms" thru their designs - military and or economics, of fear, wars, chaos, and inflation, in order to continue control and influence the use of earth resources, climate, health, and hunger, to feed their greed - lifestyle and mind-sets? We, the human race of this earth, must represent not only ourselves, but Mother Earth and other living beings. We need to Re-Think, if not "Re-Vision" this current addiction to this hypnotic "system", originated from Europe during the colonial era centuries ago, peddled and sold to the world by the post WW2 Capitalistic USA. The power in the hands of the few capitalistic lords is ruling the whole earth - politicians and leaders, in the West, East, North and South. Politicians and leaders, Nixon, Donald Trump, Senators and Congress men and women, Pentagon, CIA, Boris Johnson and like, no longer represent those whom elected them into offices. They are lacking the will to do the biddings of those elected them, but instead are doing the biddings for new "feudal lords" of the new era. Is it not already all out there for all to see? The "New World Order" is about how common human race and laws, taking back control from these new capitalistic "feudal lords", whom had replaced the "masters and slaves" relationships of bygone eras of the Pharaohs, Maharajahs, War Lords, Monarchs, European Colonies and Plantation Owners? Are we able to prevent the human race sliding back into the "back ages"? Trump and likes are signs of time. The Senate and Congress are breeding grounds for such characters, and the people whom elected them to offices only has "Hobson's choice", if the "big debate" continues along the "blind side". There will be more like him, if not worst kind, if we just "fixing the Symptoms, and not the Cause", not only in the USA, but the whole world.

Prior to the Cubs missile crisis… there was a Turkey missile crisis. Let’s remember that.

Sachs lost me at 9:47 where he said " we know we need to move to a zero carbon energy system" . No we dont.

Amazing stories. Should be watched by all American so we can hopefully find a path to take world to a better place… and address global warming asap

This is what too much time spent living in the long peace, a historical aberration, does to people. It melts their brains and makes the spout drivel. Of course empathy and diplomacy are important, but they are only aspects. Sometimes what the other guy wants is just to shank you and steal all your belongings, and no amount of 'hey let's discuss this first' will make him change his mind

We have no time to dilly dally on the message that not tomorrow, but today the technology exists to get out of a heating mess and restore ballance. The analogy is, 'chess', we need more pieces backing each piece up, more queen preferably but if not, more in numbers. Self sufficient micro stations to compliment the macro farms, should that fail. We have seen what happens if this energy does not flow fluently, bottle necking, geopolitics etc. The idea is to increase each proven piece by 15% efficiency(wind turbine, solar, flywheel, battery)and others to compensate when the intermittent latency occurs, thats backing each other in a territory strong hold. If you continue with developing product's specific to fill that void, the more robust you become, and the more flexible in options for variety of terrain. Longshot haymaker's are a turn off's to new green investor's, because the material's are to exotic or expensive to produce. This is why these pieces require parameter's of ease of manufacturing, durability, easy maintenance. After all, if the third world cant use it, they cant participate. For this challenge we need all hands on deck. We can improve life and produce more Einstein's to replicate the successes. Even though things look bleak the solution's aren't far off, if anything it's clarifying where not to go. Big oil mess.

Raytheon is moving their headquarters to Virginia to be closer to the pentagon! Crazy. Thanks for this discussion.

Overall, this was an excellent discussion. Where it faltered was the mention of taxation and the national “debt.” I will just urge two things rather than starting a miles-long thread: 1. Read Stephanie Kelton’s book “The Deficit Myth,” and give it some thought before reaching out and putting it through the paces. 2. Invite the following to discuss macroeconomics: Stehanie Kelton Fadhel Kaboub L. Randall Wray Bill Mitchell John T. Harvey Pavlina Tcherneva Steven Hail Phil Lawn There are more. Start with these. If we keep parroting the mainstream narrative, we condemn ourselves to a front row seat to societal collapse because we try to fit real solutions and facts into a deeply flawed narrative.

46:11 "don't talk to me about your values,show me your budget and I will tell you your values" tremendous expression

Love Jeffrey Sachs, this man is a level headed, intelligent and wise. Thanks to him for keeping us informed.

"Peace is the Result of Diplomacy, Never of War " That is belatedly false statement. History if full of examples why. When diplomacy fails, how do you shake hands with a clench fist. And why does diplomacy works in the first place? Because of fear of war, not love for piece. And lately, there is a good reason why expression; "When you want peace prepare for war," exists. Because its true. Ad for special military operations in Ukraine, they are there as the last resort, because the other side does not want diplomacy, but destruction of Russia. Russia has done all the diplomacy it could. Including Minsk Agreements, and yet clearly no diplomacy. Even now, The US neocons won't let Zelenky negotiate, that is official policy. And this is just recent example. So what the hell are you talking about? " Peace is the Result of Diplomacy, Never of War " Said, clearly by someone who has never been in a war. I'm sure Poland in WWII wanted to negotiate too.... ups, false flag and the rest is history. History has endless examples, that diplomacy works mainly when there is mutual respect of others powers in the event of war. When there is no fear of that, no diplomacy is done. You think US regime changes around around world would happen if the country could defend themselves? Surly not. Hence there is no regime change in Russia, despite many attempts by the US. And just how diplomacy works in Columbia University..... Brzezinski will tell you all about it, won't he? lol I swear the more diplomas they have the more delusional, conformist and just clueless they are. "Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them." - Assata Shakur "To secure peace is to prepare for war" - Carl von Clausewitz The commonwealth of Venice in their armory have this inscription: “Happy is that city which in time of peace thinks of war.” "No country without an atom bomb could properly consider itself independent." - Charles de Gaulle

prof.Sachs thanks for the talk.History is really important in the understanding of the root cause of the present war in Ukraine.

What about Hitler?

Fully agree...let's send them a message...nobody wins in war..

Dipmlomacy and violence or the threat of violence work hand in hand

The Biden administration should see this.

NATO have never tried to prevent war. They really wanted tis war to happen. A few days before russian intervention, NATO forces intensified shelling of Donbass from 40 shelling a day to 2000! That’s why Russia left with no choice.

To solve the grave climatic problems of our globe we need Not only on peace but on empathy for others and the redduction of GREED which the USA is full of !

Jeffrey Sachs is a national treasure. I don't agree with him on everything but that's irrelevant. I wish more people realized that, we don't need to agree on everything, just what's most important for us and our kids

This is a wonderful conversation. The latter part reminds me of something, there's some research that says the nuclear winter won't happen, or it won't be as bad. Sounds like some people are trying to make nuclear war a viable option. This scares the crap out of me.

For a moment I thought I had found some knowledge and wise people to listen to. The it turns out they think global warming is a real threat. You are either on the wrong side and should not be listened to on anything, or you literally have no idea what is going on at all

In 1854 Tennyson wrote The Charge of the Light Brigade. The Charge happened in Crimea in 1853. It was a suicide of 600 of England's finest. It was a war between Russia and the West. Tennyson justified the suicide with these words. Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die.

On 24 May 22 a team of border patrol agents killed a Uvalde gunman. No one disputes the mandate of the border patrol to act in that situation, but they do criticize the local police for not acting sooner. In the nine days leading up to Russia's action The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) observed over 6000 ceasefire violations as Ukraine began artillery strikes against the Donbas republics. Like we blame the local police in Uvalde we should blame the EU for not taking military action, we should indeed praise Russia for having the courage to do what legal authority would not do. Force is needed to save lives when diplomacy fails.

War and peace are opposite sides of the same coin.

Wrong, you are looking at the world how you want it to be, not how it actually is

Excellent conversation between two men with the experience, intellectual ability, and most important the concern with our world and humanity to really mean what their saying here.

Please improve the audio; it sounds like a tin can echo with a radio on in the background.

Very factual,very telling. One point that isn't talked about is federal reserve act. All the federal lands in the United States are held as collateral against default of national debt. The federal reserve wants that default to happen so it can take posession of

I was born in 1948. It was the year Orwell wrote 1984.

I like to remind people that there's a big difference between the claim that something was provoked and the claim that it was justified. Are Russia's actions in Ukraine morally justifiable? Absolutely not. Were they provoked? Clearly.

The US today is mirror image of where the USSR were in the late 80s. GREAT INTERVIEW

Should be Ukraine state and Ukrainians sacrified for good economic development?

People should learn what Mr.Jeffrey Sachs done in Bolivia, Poland and Russia.

Very good comment from Mr Biden "Do not talk about values, tell me your budget and I will tell what your values are" and it is ironic how his deeds conflict (may be confirming?) his rhetoric.

I find Jeffrey Sachs' comments around 22:00 describing his opinion that US diplomacy failed to advance a friendlier, cooperative relationship with the new Russia that followed the dissolution of the Soviet Union interesting and am disappointed he wasn't questioned further on what type of framework should have been proposed to facilitate a Russia that wouldn't pose a threat by simply becoming a new iteration of the Soviet Union. I'd also be interested if Jeffrey Sachs was questioned in more depth what was to be expected if NATO didn't expand.... Remember, NATO expansion didn't happen simply because NATO wanted to expand, new membership starts with the applying countries feeling an existential threat from Russia first. How would Jeffery Sachs address that kind of diplomatic imperative, simply ignore the plight of the applying countries? Or, does Jeffery Sachs agree with John Mearsheimer that weak countries just don't matter and must accede to the wishes of their more powerful neighbors? And, after Putin's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine I don''t think that anyone can say any longer that Putin doesn't pose a military threat of conquest, that his words are empty threats. Russian military invasion of former Soviet Warsaw Pact members has been demonstrated at least twice in Ukraine in 2014 and 2022. At 42:00 I'm concerned that Jeffery Sachs is of the thought that America should not get involved in Russian expansionism in any way.

How do you speak diplomatically about virtual human trafficking, done to people w/o their awareness or consent? This obfuscated economy is based on socially"killing off" its victims to make them into a zero-cost resource for its market. The resulting genocide-for-profit does incredible harm to whole communities where it's practiced. How do you approach this topic diplomatically, if surveillance capitalists are not even willing to acknowledge the harm they're causing? I guess I want to know, if peace includes stopping the genocide or do people just pretend it's not happening for the sake of their own financial interest? Victims aren't being asked if they want to be trafficked, and traffickers casually cause injury till death for profit. How does peace and diplomacy fit into this genocidal equation? People are intentionally being injured, while, it seems, everyone talks around the topic. The viciousness is blatant! Is diplomacy being used as another cover for this continuing practice?

fantastic interview.

I do agree with most of what Chris says. But surprised to his understanding of Gorbachev. Gorbachev was Don Quixote on steroid of twentieth century. Was he naive enough that possibly can imagine that capitalists world that worked so hard to destroy USSR help that country recoups and gets its strength and power back? Chris had a Job to sell market economy to him and has to admire his client. History tells the truth . the 2 men that help to destroy collapsing economy of Russia have been the two most hated politicians in Russia history. Btw just wondering plundering Russia main resources and giving them to those oligarch was part of proposed Chris market economy.

To bad he doesn't have an opinion about fixing Columbia University to stop poisoning students against America... The BIG questions always seem to involve climate and defending the Europeans...

It would be interesting to hear about how These two feel about John Kerry. I personally think that the guy is thick and dull. Not an attribute of a successful diplomat. I wish that academic types would just let JFK slip into fog of history. His speeches were lofty but his administration was a shambles.

American dream, you need to sleep to believe it. / George Carlin.

For me it goes back to when Vilnius Lithuania gave birth to the Enlightenment much to its regret.

Nope. Si vis pacem para bellum. That's what works; nothing else ever does. Diplomacy might buy you time, but it won't bring you peace.

President Trump keep his foot on the brake of the Military Industrial Complex and keep us out of new conflicts and actually advanced peace across continents and yet you don’t give him credit for no new wars; Interesting you left that out.

The reason why there is so much conflicts around the world, is because weapon manufacturers and arms dealers need wars and conflicts to sale weapons and guns, and religious differences and racism also have been stoking these conflicts, religious nationalism feel under attack by secularism….and corporation are runner by psychopaths who only care about wealth and power, of course this simply all this but poverty also creates serious problems etc….in my opinion!

It’s naive to think Russia would have turned out differently if it were integrated more closely into EU or West. The same with China. All we’ve managed to do is make ourselves more dependent on their resources or exports while having our technologies stolen.

The langest lasting peaceful periods in history were 1) pax Britanica 2) pax americana. Both the result of war. You're are talking utter horseshit.

In hindsight, Gorbachev was naive (or perhaps politically amateur to trust the West) that gave raise to Putin, which learned the lesson and won't repeat the same mistake twice.
