Main message is: “Talk to Russia. Dangerous to be US’s friend. US is the one that feeds you Russophobia propaganda, and embarked you into the Ukraine adventure”.
Headlines from Europe after today’s white house drama is “We will always love Ukraine, and hate Russia”
Hmmm… I wonder who can sell weapons if Europe goes to war with Russia? It takes a special level of brain worm to follow up supporting the sabotage of your pipelines, to responding to economic coercion and military abandonment by also clinging to war on your new enemy’s traditional enemy.
US is giving EU/NATO an opportunity for freedom. Doing the CIA’s wettest dream is the opposite of waking up.

Np 😉
i’ve seen so many soundbites of this address all over tiktok; i wonder how it’s being received by europe.
are we taking advice from jeffrey fucking sachs?
i hear larry fink is doing a talk soon. think it might interest you.
Really curious how western economists/journalists/organizations are shouted down as imperialists not worth listening to when they’re advocating against imperialism.
Sachs might still be a liberal who buys into the freedom and democracy shit, but he has been consistent on this and one of the few sober voices with regards to US foreign policy.
jeffrey sachs is not merely an innocent economist/journalist though.
he helped turn the soviet union to capitalism (with a dash of fascism) and came up with the framework to subjugate any country to imperialist goals. he is the one responsible for the things he allegedly doesnt like.
I’m well aware of his work and the impact it has had (although a bunch of it has been overblown). It makes no difference to how valid his point is. What’s more his credentials lend him great credibility among those who still believe in the dogma of liberalism, and make it undeniable that if a highly accomplished working economist, shares the opinions of many Marxist analysts then delusional libs should probably listen for a change.
His perspective on war isn’t Marxist. Economics thinking, doesn’t put a lot of weight on irrational hatred as a basis for happiness.
It’s not only mean and unfair, it’s unprofitable to make a war on Russia.
I never said it was. I just said he’s liberal economist who has come to some of the same conclusions as Marxists, obviously because of different motivations.
ok you have a good point
