Why would Putin want to stop the war?
Finally an economist who gets it
So we have wasted every dollar
As Donald Trump said i want people to stop dying 😢
Ukraine is a huge success, just ask the defense contractors and the politicians that are paid.
Then more trillions to rebuild Ukraine. While cutting social security
61 billion thrown away like it's nothing. These leaders have no respect for money.
Biden has been a total and utter disaster for the Ukrainian people
“Biden has DESTROYED Ukraine”? How strange! I was sure it was the Kremlin regime that invaded Ukraine and has been bombing it and launching drones and missiles at Ukrainian cities for the last two years! That’s weird! I must go back over all those news reports and videos!
Prof Sachs
Spoutin facts.
Thank you so much Dr. Jeffrey Sachs for saying the truth and presenting all the issues of that war in such a clear and concise way! Brillant! May all the people hypnotised by the mainstream media and "progressists" gvts hear you! This tragedie has to stop before the western world collapses into chaos and totalitaisme! Bless you and bless the great journalists at The Hill! Bon baisers de France!

Whoa. 😮 hopefully the elected people are listening lol
Fake President Biden and all of these greedy politicians from both sides, need to send their own money to Ukraine. This is utterly ridiculous to keep sending billions to other countries and then letting millions into the United States, this could only have a negative ending. FJB
Guy is literally a putin apologist,😂
He is correct on most of his data but claiming Odessa etc will be lost is unlikely. Russia has held onto the rougher 20% of Ukraine seized at the beginning. Note most of that area was already not under Ukrainian control. He says the war started ten years ago while ignoring Russian overthrow of belarus. Ukraine was the most likely next target. Putin dreams of re-creating the russian empire. Whether by subterfuge or invasion he is not going to stop attacking vulnerable targets.
Mr. Sachs is on point.
We better let the kleptocratic regime of criminals win and extend their influence round the globe then….
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Unbelievably good summary! This interview should be shared to everyone that put up an Ukraine flag for a few weeks to show off their virtue.
One day Karma will catch with USA!
The hill is full of January 6ers and election deniers.
…who is that angry black woman that is calling this war "Project Ukraine" ?
He's right on every point, except a nuance at the end: "It will leave Ukraine like Afghanistan". But Afghanistan was a disaster before USA went in there, whereas Ukraine was not. They had their problems with corruption, debt and lower standard of living than their neighbors, but certainly was not a disaster. And once the war ends, both the Russian side and the Western side will recover. You just need the war to stop.
I hope the Biden admin is made such an example of in international courts that their families have to change their names
Robby is 'correct': Ukrainians want to fight so bad, military is forcing people against their will, and now have lowered mandatory death sentence to 25 years old. Males are not allowed to leave the country.
Ukrainian Russian soldier blood on Biden and Zelinskis hands.
“During a January 2021 interview, despite the interviewer's repeated prompting, Sachs evaded questions about China's repression of Uyghur people and referred to "huge human rights abuses committed by the U.S."”
The hypocrisy and anti-Americanism of this guy is endless
“Sachs's economic philosophies have been the subject of controversy. Nina Munk, author of the 2013 book The Idealist: Jeffrey Sachs and the Quest to End Poverty, says that, although well intended, poverty eradication projects endorsed by Sachs have years later "left people even worse off than before".”
I respect Sachs and his candor. He comes with receipts and he gives context, and he’s ANGRY about it.
I appreciate the honesty.
“Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, Sachs vocally rejected the COVID-19 lab leak theory (a version of which was being supported by President Donald Trump), which posited the SARS-CoV-2 virus was released from a Chinese laboratory, denouncing it as "reckless and dangerous" and arguing that right-wing politicians pointing fingers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology could "push the world to conflict… Neither the biology nor chronology support the laboratory-release story."”
“Sachs is a "long-time advocate of dismantling American hegemony and embracing the rise of China." He believes the term "genocide" is mistaken in relation to the repression of the Uyghurs in China. He has argued for closer relations between the US and China and warned of the danger of tensions between them”
If only our congress had half the wisdom of jeffrey sachs.
