I’m not 60, but not far from it and l have seen good things. Of course I have seen bad things as well… our foreign policy needs to be adjusted. Sacs says some agreeable things but the fact that he always speaks in support of our adversaries makes him non credible. He’s just as corrupt as the politicians in my opinion it’s quite obvious. He sits here saying the same things that could be said about Russia, China and Iran. He speaks of corruption? The people in these countries have spoken out about their own governments and we communicate with their citizens now through social media. It’s ridiculous like these places aren’t corrupt with greater wealth disparities than the US. He must be for authoritarianism because he never is concerned about the citizens and just continuously bashing America on behalf of Russia & China.
@solomongrundy145 I disagree because “believing them to be infalible” is not part of the definition. I believe a true patriot will criticise their government when needed, like Mr. Sachs is doing right here.

I agreed with Professor Sachs except the Israel issue.I strongly believed that hatred by the Muslim countries against Israel is the driving force.Yes,America has become very corrupted.Profesor Sachs is wrong in stating " which country is going to invade America?We are being invaded,not in war but in peace.Look at the illegals coming in thanks to Biden's policies.If this is not an invasion I don't know what is it.800 billions for the " defense" and 800 military bases= 100 billion for each base,isn't it?Plus caring for veterans,ECT.Too much.Last,the communists in south America( Venezuela)use the tactic of rationalizing food( scarcety) to keep citizens busy in looking for something to eat.Same here,but out of reach with high prices= same results,people don't protest.
Thank you Jeffrey Sachs. Americans need to elect leaders who want to reduce this wasteful and destructive spending and demand better infrastructure at home.
I’m American and I don’t support Israeli actions toward genocide in Gaza. I also don’t support American arms export economic reliance. Americans are exceptional and should turn that exceptionalism toward security and true national equality.
Nothing will change though. The average American isn't very bright. They sit on their couch all day, eat potato chips and watch CNN/Fox News. They lap up whatever is fed to them.
this information been known for years and coming from america itself, but only Jeffrey Sachs and some couple of independent journalists chooses to not stay ignorant about it.
How could anyone not see this. It's so obvious. America starts wars equips them and finances them. Korea, Vietnam, the list is endless. It's a gravy train.
This is an accurate analysis of the situation. And it is up to the American people to reverse the situation and restore the constitutional republic such that it serves them and not the terrible financial criminal and war industry.
Jeffrey Sachs is a saint, I can't imagine the courage it takes to speak true to power against these institutions. Peace is the only solution. We need a policy where corporation is the end game. The computer age has connected people of the world, why can't we communicate? Thank You for having Mr. Sachs on, he has an important message, I hope it gets though.

The defense industry wants to sell more weapons. But with more wars. And the Bankers want to screw the people. And they have largely succeeded. Donald Trump is America's last hope. He is unsophisticated, is not perfect, a bit divisive, but loves his nation, loves Whites and Blacks alike, and believes in personal freedom and liberty. He is not the ideal candidate, but the alternative is worst. Trump believes in personal freedom which is the true American spirit. He should work with China and tone down his attacks against that nation as they are not the cause of America's problems.

China has many high speed rails, incredible bridges, not only in China but in other countries as well. All of the wealth of America and it’s people are like poor relations.
If you want to know how good US corporations are doing, why don’t you look at how many tax deductible business jets have been bought in the last three years. They use them for their family vacations. Just look at who’s on the aircraft during crash investigations….their family, side chicks or nannies.
I worked for one of the largest US defense contractors for a decade, and I can say they are not making their rank and file workers rich. They treat their non-union factory workers like Wal_mart.
Help with their economy wtf? He destroyed Russia with the shock doctrine/theory. Russian life expectancy dropped by something like 10 years after he "helped" their economy. He is correct here and I agree with him but his history with Russia is disgusting and something that will forever stain him.
@@kwakkers68 The USA asked for his expertise but did nothing with it with respect to Russia as the goal was to divide and conquer. But then Putin showed up and fixed it all.
Great interview. Tragically, we Westerners need to seek out international sources. Our media is comprised. This type of conversation desperately needs to occur in the USA. There is no public outcry because the public is ignorant.
Pakistan knows very well how destructive US policy has been in the region. The US doesn’t listen to any advice even from allies like pakistan. The US needs to look at how China and pakistan cooperate with each other and learn. ❤
The ignominious departure from Afghanistan, the debacle in Ukraine, an inability to manage Israel in Gaza and now an opened ended war in Yemen has the potential of causing the US's global empire to unravel. This is the result of corrupt leadership, a complete lack of diplomacy and an industry that has the incentive for the creation of war...
Lots of these are happening under a guy who doesn’t know where he is most of the time. God help the US and the entire world if obiden wins again this year 😓
Instead of calling it “Defence spending”, it’s a market theme to sell the idea of conquer n rule. Might consider re-labelling that to “Aggression Budget”.
Oh, and one more thing further to my comments below, the public couldn’t care less about loss of life, they care about money. That’s why no one protests about the loss of life in Ukraine, but the public are on the streets when their subsidies and benefits come under attack, like in Germany, France, Netherlands, Poland! The Western public loves virtue signalling, but has no morality if it costs them money.
Good questions from the interviewer. She asked for concrete examples. Sachs gave a reasonable answer but it does not go far enough. We need politicians to be named and what their connections are with whom. For example we know Cheney was on the board of Halliburton and Freeport McMoran (connected to the exploitationary Javanese regime in Papua). Where are the Biden administration and Congressional officials connected? For sure Lindsay Graham is connected somewhere. But it is not only the miltary-industrial complex. It is also the financial one. Goldman Sachs and various equity firms have a huge stake in this as well. This needs to be made clear.
The biggest business of US is arms sales. The main objective of the US government, Congress and Senate is to profit the arms companies. There is no such thing as a waste of money so long as arms are concerned. The more money is wasted the better because this means the arms companies are making tons of money. See how many millions of tons of weapons are left in Afghanistan after the American soldiers ran away. The US government is not worried about those weapons because the arms companies have already profited from those weapons.
It’s why the US leadership will rarely ever enact common sense gun legislation, arms are seen as powerful and essential, more than children’s lives domestic and abroad
If the United States cannot own the markets and production of other countries, then the next action is to raze Their manufacturing capabilities to the ground.

Jeffrey Sachs speaks the TRUTH
If you want to know how good US corporations are doing, why don’t you look at how many tax deductible business jets have been bought in the last three years. They use them for their family vacations. Just look at who’s on the aircraft during crash investigations….their family, side chicks or nannies.
Absolutely 💯 percent agree with every word he’s uttering!!!
FACTS! Great discussion. Professor Sachs speaks with a breadth of fresh air. Indeed, one of the few that speaks truth to power.
Yes
Profersor is Right
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I worked for one of the largest US defense contractors for a decade, and I can say they are not making their rank and file workers rich. They treat their non-union factory workers like Wal_mart.
Yes, but you get red-white-and-blue party favors.
@@Polit_Burro And plastic coffee cups!
Yep, good ol' Capitalism.
You could be rich if you bought the shares
@@peanut0brain If only the working castes were born without stomachs maybe we could afford to spend the money we spend on foods on stocks.
Absolutely agree.
It's the only explanation that makes sense.
Jeffrey was very consistent for decades, even since the time he was sent off to Russia after USSR collapsed to help them with economy
'help'. What an interesting take!
Help with their economy wtf? He destroyed Russia with the shock doctrine/theory. Russian life expectancy dropped by something like 10 years after he "helped" their economy.
He is correct here and I agree with him but his history with Russia is disgusting and something that will forever stain him.
@@kwakkers68 The USA asked for his expertise but did nothing with it with respect to Russia as the goal was to divide and conquer. But then Putin showed up and fixed it all.
Great interview. Tragically, we Westerners need to seek out international sources. Our media is comprised. This type of conversation desperately needs to occur in the USA. There is no public outcry because the public is ignorant.
Truth. You will get a more balanced and realistic view of currant affairs.
comprised ? I think you mean compromised.
Pakistan knows very well how destructive US policy has been in the region. The US doesn’t listen to any advice even from allies like pakistan. The US needs to look at how China and pakistan cooperate with each other and learn. ❤
America's hegemony would have ended long ago if it weren't so fiercely supported by non- white people! White worship is a big problem!
Pakistan is in the USAs pocket
Pakistan is China’s most important partner. We need to work together to promote peace and prosperity for our people.
The USA has no allies. It has only underlings and slaves.
At last someone in USA has shown the guts to speak the truth. He needs to be careful or else the MIC may try to silence him.
The ignominious departure from Afghanistan, the debacle in Ukraine, an inability to manage Israel in Gaza and now an opened ended war in Yemen has the potential of causing the US's global empire to unravel. This is the result of corrupt leadership, a complete lack of diplomacy and an industry that has the incentive for the creation of war...
I'm not sure that they are unable to manage Israel. They can stop the war by stopping the supply of weapons, if they really want to.
we are living in exciting times. actualkly i am glad i am old..wont last many more years..
agree@@wout123100
Lots of these are happening under a guy who doesn’t know where he is most of the time. God help the US and the entire world if obiden wins again this year 😓
Nothing and absolutely no one will take down the United States no matter how much you believe it.
Professor Sachs and professor Wolff should run this country.
Powerful jobs attract the most unscrupulous and often psychopathic individuals.
God's own psychopaths in the Political Zionist Apartheid Occupier Regime called Israel
Refreshing to see Jeffrey being allowed to speak his mind....
Evil, corrupt and greed
Thank you, professor! I agree 💯.
Compared to Dr. Sach's benign wisdom, America's sophomoric foreign policy makes me weep.
Sachs' "benign wisdom" is what nearly wrecked Russia in the 1990s.
It makes me laugh 🤣
Instead of calling it “Defence spending”, it’s a market theme to sell the idea of conquer n rule. Might consider re-labelling that to “Aggression Budget”.
At the time of WW2 the US Defence Secretary was called The Secretary of State for War.
Oh, and one more thing further to my comments below, the public couldn’t care less about loss of life, they care about money. That’s why no one protests about the loss of life in Ukraine, but the public are on the streets when their subsidies and benefits come under attack, like in Germany, France, Netherlands, Poland! The Western public loves virtue signalling, but has no morality if it costs them money.
Wait till Muslims take over Europe
We are anti-china for some reason you try to separate us from that but it's the truth.
You mention about loss of lives in Ukraine,,BUT NO MENTION OF THE GENOCIDE TAKING PLACE IN PALESTINE BY THE EVIL JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL.
Great to hear a credible outlet speaking truth and important issue. Good on U.
Justice, Freedom, Sharing, and Truth for All
that would be anti semitic
So....Jews don't believe in Justice, Freedom, Sharing, and Truth for All ?@@federalreservebrown2507
This is my idea of a legitimate presidential candidate. He actually wants peace! God bless this man.🙏🙂
..and their media is complicit too... true journalism is non existent
This professor speak from the heart bing peace
Not war’
call it what it is the war department. nothing to do with defence.
Professor Sachs is so right !
Good questions from the interviewer. She asked for concrete examples. Sachs gave a reasonable answer but it does not go far enough. We need politicians to be named and what their connections are with whom. For example we know Cheney was on the board of Halliburton and Freeport McMoran (connected to the exploitationary Javanese regime in Papua). Where are the Biden administration and Congressional officials connected? For sure Lindsay Graham is connected somewhere. But it is not only the miltary-industrial complex. It is also the financial one. Goldman Sachs and various equity firms have a huge stake in this as well. This needs to be made clear.
I LIKE LISTEN TO TRUTH, REALITY, AND FACTS FROM JEFFREY SACHS..
Oh my God Jeffrey speaks the truth it's about time
America is in urgent need of regime change so that it will be more constructive to world peace, global climate, and human right.
Too late
We can not be ignorant in either direction of these issues,...😡🇺🇸
The biggest business of US is arms sales. The main objective of the US government, Congress and Senate is to profit the arms companies. There is no such thing as a waste of money so long as arms are concerned. The more money is wasted the better because this means the arms companies are making tons of money. See how many millions of tons of weapons are left in Afghanistan after the American soldiers ran away. The US government is not worried about those weapons because the arms companies have already profited from those weapons.
It’s why the US leadership will rarely ever enact common sense gun legislation, arms are seen as powerful and essential, more than children’s lives domestic and abroad
Healthcare is bigger now.
Thank you for articulating the money in politics problem so well
If the United States cannot own the markets and production of other countries, then the next action is to raze Their manufacturing capabilities to the ground.
America is a good country.
It doesn't really matter what the citizens say or want, the government will do what it wants. Tictoc is rife with calls for revolution.
Sorry to tell you but we're not leftist in the United States
Absolutely, the truth 💯🤣💯🤣💯.
Hasn't it always been the case that the people who want war don't fight themselves but make money from it?
Oh we will enlist over Taiwan.
