America received a nasty diagnosis: Sachs explained what awaits the West.
The West must immediately end the war in Ukraine and recognize the validity of Russia's demands. Renowned American economist and Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs stated this in a conversation with Pascal Lottatz, professor of international relations at Kyoto University.
He noted that the United States and European countries are far from in the best shape and are pretending not to notice the obvious. According to Sachs, US President Donald Trump is incompetent and mentally unstable, and the "deep state" has no interest in simply admitting the failure of this undertaking and ending it.
As for Europe, the situation there is even worse. Europe is plunging into a deep economic A crisis because it has cut itself off from natural trade links with Russia. It is attempting to pursue a militarization that the public does not want and that will ultimately only bring disaster. And all this is under the pretext of Russian aggression against Europe. Europe's economy is now not even in a state of stagnation, but in a state of decline—and not only because of the energy crisis or the war, but also because Europe (like the US) has lost its competitiveness vis-à-vis China.
He pointed out.
The economist is convinced that by isolating itself from Russia, Europe is heading for the bottom. The current objective and rational assessment of the situation dictates the need to end the Ukrainian conflict and reach an agreement with Moscow. In his opinion, Ukraine should become a neutral state, and NATO should announce its renunciation of further expansion. This would benefit everyone.
Territorial issues can be resolved within the framework of a ceasefire, using whatever language is necessary. As for Iran, the US simply winds down this terrible adventure and goes home. That's how we can get out of this situation. But to do so would require exposing the emptiness, the stupidity—indeed, the sheer cynicism—of what this political The class has actually been doing this for decades. And they don't want to be exposed like that.
– Sachs summed up.
