On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, Director of Columbia University’s Center for Sustainable Development. He discusses the upcoming Trump-Putin meeting and the chances of success or failure at ending the Ukraine proxy war, Donald Trump’s behaviour as a ‘King’ and why it harms global security, the contradiction of the US government wanting security while the US military attacks Russia in the Ukraine proxy war, how Trump’s ultimatums and threats against major powers are bringing us closer to nuclear war, Washington’s campaign since the fall of the Soviet Union to bring Russia to its knees, the European Union’s complete vassalage to Washington, the US-Israeli attack on Iran and the damage Iran’s retaliation caused to Israel, how the US still could end the Ukraine proxy war quickly, the US’ continuing support of Israel genocide in Gaza despite overwhelming public opinion against Israel, and much more.
