Jeffrey Sachs: The US is leading us closer to nuclear war | The InnerView

World-renowned economist Jeffrey Sachs tells Imran Garda he doesn’t trust the US — its intentions, foreign policy, or direction — no matter the administration. He says that the United States is steering the world toward disaster. As he castigates America, the Columbia University professor denies that this has made him an apologist for countries like China and Russia. Rather than Israel being an extension of US policy in the region, Sachs provocatively declares that Benjamin Netanyahu is steering American policy with Israel’s wars in Gaza, Lebanon and even had a hand in earlier wars such as Iraq. He also argues that western countries, led by the US, and not Vladimir Putin, are ultimately to blame for starting Russia’s war in Ukraine. An advisor to UN Secretaries General and governments around the world, Sachs gives us some personal insights into his own experience of what he says was a CIA orchestrated coup in Haiti, and how he decodes the intentions of those he is certain are taking us ever closer to global nuclear catastrophe. 00:00 Meet Jeffrey David Sachs 01:00 The Doomsday Clock 03:20 Annie Jacobsen’s book Nuclear War: A Scenario 05:06 “I don’t trust US policies” 06:30 Who was the biggest gangster of the 20th century? 09:58 How many naval bases does China have? 10:16 The US’ covert regime changes 12:06 CIA orchestrated Haiti’s 2004 coup 14:02 The US intervention in Ukraine’s affairs 16:41 “The US is an extension of Netanyahu’s policy” 17:20 Discussing Netanyahu’s ideas from his book Fighting Terrorism 19:15 Two schools of thought in Israel 19:59 Netanyahu’s war on terror: Seven wars in five years 22:22 Two-state solution 22:44 An apologist for China and Russia?
