now the coverage of the fighting is no longer the main topic in the us, probably partly because of the elections, but also because there are things going on there that our media doesn't want to talk about, so what's going on there at the moment, well ukraine is losing on the battlefield, that's basically it, there was some distraction with the invasion of this brigade of ukrainians and so-called mercenaries.

we can stop, but on conditions, but the west, the us, especially britain, no, we will win, we will win, so ukraine is losing from one to two thousand soldiers a day, killed and wounded, a day, yes, a day, yes, it's just a terrible meat grinder, but neither in kiev, nor in washington, nor in london, nor in warsaw, no one... counts the dead, so it all

continues, because no one in the west wants to take responsibility for stopping all this, but what can push them to action is that there are elections coming up, because if the administration changes, then it is assumed that us policy on ukraine will naturally change, but i hope that if trump wins, and is that, is that what is pushing the current administration to not even...

what is happening, people have been told the complete opposite. i don't think there is even now an understanding that nato troops, in some form, and us troops, government employees and government contractors are fighting inside russia, fighting in russia. yeah, that's obvious. right now, we are fighting russia on the battlefield. yeah, it's not just our money, our equipment, our goals, our objectives, our strategies, and our advice. but

we also have personnel there, yeah, sometimes they're not dressed in the us uniform, sometimes they are mercenaries, sometimes there is simply no identification, but the decision...

he understood this, so we overthrew him, and that is when the war began. it was obvious that any scenario would eventually lead to a nightmare. ironically, the scenario

that is unfolding at the moment, where russia wins the war, is the safest one. yes, because if russia lost the war, then we would be faced with the threat of a nuclear war. and all those experts who say: yes, don't worry, it's all bleev. i am genuinely outraged by the ignorance of these people. i'm not usually outraged by people's ignorance. i try to be. but i am outraged by the ignorance that puts my grandchildren in danger, they put my grandchildren in danger when they say, don't worry about nuclear war, it's all bullshit, and i don't want to hear it anymore, because anyone who

says that doesn't understand anything about our world. we have forces in the united states that like to stir up trouble, literally. "we have to provoke, we have to destroy russia, we have to break up russia, we have to dismember china, we just can't let other countries get along with each other, all the other countries can see that, but when i say all this, it sounds so weird to americans who read the new york times or read the washington post or read the wall street journal, because mr. sachs, but china is our enemy, they do everything." all this nonsense that doesn't make any sense, but if you repeat it over and over and over and over again, and the government, and you know this better than anyone,

the government is trying to control narrative, trying to control what we hear, trying to control the information on social media, and because of that... the most obvious truth becomes questionable. so, you asked me, does america want to fight iran? of course not. does america want to fight russia? of course not. does america want to fight china? my answer is: god forbid, it would probably be the end of the world. here's one of the interesting points about the war in ukraine. we have one principle, it's stated in article 10 of the nato charter, which we so proud: russia has no say in any decisions that we are going to make

about nato expansion, even to the very borders of russia, this issue does not concern russia in any way, it is written down. it is called the open door policy, where it is stated that we do not even in principle consider the idea that russia has no right. vote, even if us military bases and us missiles are placed in ukraine. in january twenty-second, according to very informed sources, blinken told putin that the us retains the right to place missiles in ukraine, right on the border. putin responded, but i thought president biden said the united states would not do that. "i was not present during that conversation, but apparently secretary of state blinken's response was,

"no, no, no, we reserve the right to do whatever we want, these are our missiles, you have no say in this, this is how we treat others, you just said something very interesting, it looks like blinken is running our foreign policy, well, who knows who tells blinken what to do? how do you who do you think is in charge? i think it 's important to understand that..." it's a huge machine, it's a trillion -dollar machine. the military-industrial system of the united states. its course is set at a very deep level. there is a strategy. that strategy doesn't change just because a new president comes into office. presidents may think they can influence it, but their influence is very limited. as i said, the strategy for nato expansion began in... in ninety-four, this program is 30 years old, it was developed very carefully,

in a book that hasn't been published yet, i read that president putin once very aptly noted that when he talks to the us president, he said this during your interview: in the morning, presidents say one thing, and in the afternoon , they say the opposite, because someone has already explained to them that everything should be different. 180-degree turn in this wonderful book that hasn't been published yet, written by a historian following this period, there is a quote from putin, where it says that the president says something, but then these comrades show up in dark suits and blue ties, they explain to the president how things should be, and i think that's how it is, there is an irremovable state, the state. it's a profitable business, don't forget that we have 750 military bases around the world, 6.0

nuclear warheads, the open military budget alone is a trillion dollars, not to mention all the other expenses that are not included in this budget, it's a very huge machine, and it's an open machine, as we know from the publication.

nuclear powers or east asia, where china has an industrial base twice the size of the united states, a population four times the size of the united states, hundreds of nuclear warheads, and its own interests, and its own civilization. well, that seems like a recipe

for endless war, in the nuclear age, that's a recipe for, at some point, what's it been 90 seconds, an absolutely catastrophic end, because... we don't talk, we provoke, that's the main thing to understand, this whole nightmare comes from the idea that we have to interfere in everybody else's affairs, we have to determine who gets to rule, we can change borders at will, we can overthrow the government, that approach has led us to disaster, trillions of dollars, millions of lives lost, a worldwide

disaster in us foreign policy, we don't need those 750 military bases around the world, we don't need them, they're too expensive. oh, my god, we need to fix our roads, we need our country to function properly, when i or we go abroad, we see what's going on abroad the infrastructure is much better, which is what 's most annoying, i, as you know, have been traveling all my life, and you know , you think you're in developing countries, and then when you come back... through kennedy or san francisco or los angeles or boston, logan, and the first thing you notice is that there's more dirt and chaos here, that it's less convenient for a person than in the developing countries you came from, and that's so sad,

if people traveled more, then there would already be a revolution in our country, if they would see that turkey is better than the us, what? i had a wonderful you know what i mean i had a wonderful conversation with an italian politician, i was in northern italy in balzan, a beautiful alpine city, and i admired the local infrastructure, and he sighed said that yes, it's all wonderful, but it's not oslo or copenhagen, it's even better there, but then, to my surprise, he added, but oslo and copenhagen, now if you go to china, right. in china everything is even better, and we can see it, everything is so, it's all so terrible, it's so depressing, and the worst thing about it is that most of the people don't even realize how powerful their leaders and the advisors to these leaders are, they betrayed this people, like bill-crystal, who don't give a damn about the united states,

they don't even remember the country, they think about anything else, the people were screwed, all the money went abroad. all the aspirations are directed outward, well, maybe in their mansions everything is pretty good, but in the rest of america, what are we even doing, why are we supplying all this money, weapons and lives to all these conflicts, anyway you have to understand that the american people are very little involved and even less... understand what exactly our government is doing abroad, americans more or less understand what the government is doing domestically, but what it is doing abroad, this information has been deliberately kept very secret for decades, and even when the information

becomes publicly known, the government denies everything, for example, i told you how in february of 2014 the us staged a coup in ukraine. it was a secret a regime change operation, in the jargon of the intelligence services. that's how we make money. that's what the united states does, dozens and dozens of foreign governments that have been overthrown. i 've seen it myself, because even though i'm an economic adviser, not a military adviser, but... i've heard some things from the president, and i've seen some things with my own eyes, but none of it has made it into the domestic agenda, and that 's why this deep state machine runs itself, and that's the unique job of the president, to stop it,

because i think that what the president should do... the intelligence services, or he just thinks so, or he doesn't think at all, in the end we are a war machine, there are three interesting points that... it

doesn't work, it has led the united states to a series of successful wars worth trillions of dollars, everyone can see that, the american people absolutely do not support our foreign policy, that's the first point, the second, we see politicians who say, no... something needs to change, and that's very important, the third, now the truth is starting to come out, in time for these kinds of conversations, and even if these conversations are not on the mainstream media, but people listen to them instead of listening to all these boring, worthless narratives of the media, which no one believes anymore, this also matters,

our economy, this is that for the last 40 years we have had two economies: we have had an upper class and white collar economy, it is doing well, we have a middle class and working class economy, and things are not going well there, there is a lot of debt and a lot of problems, so in fact in our country there are two different worlds. and these worlds do not really intersect with each other, this is our economic reality, it is quite clear, it means that, for example, we

know, based on a lot of surveys and data from the federal reserve, which collects such information, how many people in our country will not be able to afford an unexpected expense of 400 dollars, well... you know, for example, the cost of a dentist or treatment or medication, and this is a huge part of the population, but if we talk about my environment, then i don’t even think about it, because i, you know, live in a world where people are making good money and things are completely different, no, i know about that. because i've been writing about this for a long time, and it's a big challenge for us and a big problem that we don't pay attention to, but

that's the reality, so it's not because the rich are spending money on parties that the debt is growing, it's because people are trying to make ends meet, they're having trouble feeding their families, they don't have money for medical expenses, more and more people are facing these expenses, that's the the real situation, and we do nothing about it, we do not discuss it. in addition, this situation with our politics, where all this demarcation occurs. it is ironic that the republican party has become the party of the working class, the upper class - the democrats, have become the party of the upper class. this is the reversal that has occurred. the reason is that... there are many reasons, but what is important is that this whole split began in the seventies, and then it only

intensified. after that, nothing changed globally in the country. voters from the working class class that voted for... democrats in the era of franklin, roosevelt, kennedy and johnson, over time felt that the party was not doing anything for them, in '16 trump, with his keen political instincts, saw an opportunity, he understood what was happening , essentially took the working class away from the democratic party. but on a deeper economic level, this split in the country , there are many reasons for this split, but the main reason for it...

that, in fact, this is the main factor in the entire economy, which is that, that if you graduate from university, then everything is fine with you, your income is growing, you have this education, the level of education, so you enjoy life, basic school education, your affairs are bad, and this manifests itself through so many parameters, this manifests itself through real estate.

and this has been going on for decades, and almost no one understands this and does not talk about it, our political system, unfortunately, is no longer able to solve problems. jeffrey sachs, i think that you need to sit down and reveal 10 stories that were wrong told or misunderstood by the public over the past 30 years, let each be 4 hours long, like a university lecture, upload them online make higher education more accessible, as always a great idea, thank you, jeffrey sachs, thank you, used to watching videos online, stopped

working. install, open, watch, russian channels all tv series, movies and cartoons, educational programs and documentaries, watch, watch in the application or on the website.

we will take on this matter, it will be honest detective.
