Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: We are at dire risk of nuclear war from Russia-NATO escalation over Ukraine

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, director of Columbia University’s Department for Sustainable Development. He discusses the mood on the Ukraine proxy war at the UN General Assembly and what the only glimmer of light was, why the Ukraine proxy war and the war on Iran have sensible exit ramps, the UN’s absence in efforts to end the war on Iran’s and Ukraine proxy war, Trump’s incompetence in negotiating with Russia to end the Ukraine proxy war, the dire risk of nuclear war as Europe refuses to negotiate sincerely with Russia, his conversation with then-National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and the one thing which could have stopped the Ukraine proxy war happening which Sullivan refused to do, the incompetence of European officials as Europe gears its societies for war with Russia, the media’s role in continuing the Ukraine proxy war, and much more.
