Jeffrey Sachs' View of US Trustworthiness

Economist Jeffrey Sachs says he doesn’t trust the US — its intentions, foreign policy, or direction — no matter the administration.

January 21, 2025

Sachs, professor at Columbia University, has advised presidents and heads of NGOs over a long career. He remains extremely well connected at the highest political and intelligence levels.

Rather than Israel being an extension of US policy in the region, Sachs 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.

Sachs’ opinions are well worth listening to.
