1:50 this statement is confusing, because though the leaders in the Pentagon and by extension the chiefs of the different armed serves branches are elected (neither all the staff for Congress or the President), they all take guidance from elected officials. Congress has oversight and sets fiscal and legal boundaries on the armed forces. The president's policy flows through the NSC to the service chiefs. It's illogical to think that every member in every institution could be elected. The people who control those institutions already are. So what seems to be a problem here doesn't quite make sense in the way that it's presented.

Thank you for the content. A note on your notes. Is it possible to list your guests preferred links in the "more" section of the video? Thank you for the effort.

Karim Makdisi and his brothers are exceptional for the breadth and depth of their knowledge of the region. Thank you for this interview.

It strikes me, though, that the Lebanese government and Hezbollah are happy to agree to a ceasefire when they're on the ropes, 3 weeks to reconstitute. I don't see why Israel is to blame for pushing harder when they are on the front foot. Is that really Israeli intransigence?

Extremely biased analyst who refuses to call out Hezbollah and its sponsor Iran as well as its criminal and autocratic dealings. He also calls the attack by Hezbollah on Israel with two kidnappings „a pretext“ and he conveniently ignores the fact that Hezbollah attacked Israel on October 8th

All sane people fully endorse & support the GOOD prof Jeffrey Sachs who is so enlightened & brave to speak the truth to keep the Peace of the whole world. Well said Prof ❤🤩👍✌️🫶👍

He is sick

Ok this is purely hezbollah talking points..now do the vintage point from Israel next

5 minites in, and not a single mention of the word Hizballah. Ive heard lebanese army, Israeli forces, UNIFIL... You would think mentioning Hizballah would be at least appropriate. I guess its clear to see whos side this "expert" is on. Israel has beed dismantling Hizballah war infrastructure day by day is southert Lebanon. "Weird" they were not mentioned yet.

Im going to put this phone down

If there is an occupier of Lebanon it's Hezbollah. This bloke is spouting toxic drivel. If the Lebanese Army and state, and Unifil, for that matter, are collaborating with Hezbollah, then they are accomplices to its crimes and had better watch out.

This man is a smooth LIAR and PREVARICATOR. - There was no provision to let Hizballah keep its weapons. - There was no provision that would allow Hezbollah to keep the weapons " hidden" . This is preposterous and funny. - There was no other provision concerning armed presence other than the one of the sovereign Lebanese National Army. No Hezbollah in any capacity. - The only legitimate force to defend a sovereign nation is its military. NOT the Iranian stooges they financed. Hezbollah took and still take orders only from Iran. - Hochstein is not an Israeli / American. He was born in Israel to American parents but currently he is strictly an American citizen. - The Israeli aggression started only after the Iranian stooges in Hezbollah bombed Israel with thousands of rockets for months. .......... and much more prefabrications but the bottom line, my friend , is that this time Hezbollah will not be given any chance of reforming like they did in the past. The game is coming to an end.

Notice how he never mentions Hezbo attacking Israel on October 8th.

This guy is a Hezbollah sympathizer. under 1701, resolution 1559 is supposed to also be executed, which means disarmament of Hezbollah. UNIFIL had one job, and they failed.

A very strange discussion when he says that the Libanese army needs all help in order to keep Israel out of Libanon. Israel is not a threath to Libanon as soon as nobody (Hezbollah) is firing missiles on Israel. In all the years Hezbollah has transformed south Libanon to a Swiss chease - why, to attack Israel. The Libanese state (and army) has to choose if to have an own country leaving in peace with Israel or to continue being a hostage of Iran through Hezbollah. The discussion if to trust the Israel government is clear - as long as Hezbollah is the party to discuss peace with then there is no solution. The peace has to be with the libanese government, without Hezbollah.

He hides facts such as the fact that in 2006 Hezbollah invaded Israel, killed soldiers and kidnapped them and because of that Israel could not ignore it. That is why the war started. Why is he hiding it? You can hear that he hates Israel. He has no credibility.

Bravo Zaynab , on est fière de toi ma jolie.

Hezbollah 💀 is ruining the county of Lebanon 🇱🇧 a beautiful country w many good people

Excellent (and enlightening) interview, thank you!

Uh, uh, uh, eh, eh, eh! Too much!

The empirical fact that James K. Galbraith's extremely pertinent and incisive analyses are practically absent from even specialized macroeconomic and financial discourse and media, while the foolish and consistently wrong analyses and predictions of the likes of Larry Summers and Jason Fuhrman are repeated ad infinitum and nauseam, ought to tell us something about the actual state of our society.

I usually agree with Mr. Sachs on all but this, his steadfast belief in the "good intentions" of the UN. This is pure Pollyanna thinking of the highest order. The global community isn't interested at all in "helping reverse poverty" or in improving the lives of the ignorant masses, only in furthering their own personal desire for wealth building and hegemony. If this were true, poverty would have been wiped out a century ago. He really needs to read the book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins, which presents in shocking detail how countries like the US go into Third World nations promising to build their infrasture (with hydroelectric dams and extractive industries, for example), only to steal their natural resources, put them in irreversable debt to international bankers, then leave the indigenous people in even worst condition than they were before.

Yes there is a Blob that has total control of US government. Yes you know who o mean.

Maybe the West was eyeing their skilled population and oil. The only way to loot a country is for external forces to divide and rule. All Muslim countries seem to have gone through the same fate

The United Nations should establishe a Digital Charter for the digital age, stipulating that any individual, institution, or country found in violation of the charter, or engaged in data theft or misuse, will be considered a criminal and will face severe penalties.

I wish we could've gotten a recording of the actual micd audio instead of just a recording of the speaker output.

You earned yourself a subscriber. Vijay is a walking encyclopedia. Not the Wikipedia kind full of CIA sponsored narratives, but an encyclopedia who has read Marx. Waiting for his return to India, a la Lenin 1917.

人の死と投降を伴う戦争ゲームで、どちらかがエスカレートしたりエスカレーションを解除したりした場合に、アメリカが何ポイント獲得するか、中国が何ポイント獲得するかなど誰が気にするでしょうか？ あなたの戦争ゲームで人が死んだとき、私たちはその死に対して何点もらえると思いますか? 戦争を変えたほうがいい、さもなければ次の戦争は政治家/政府高官/中央銀行とジェフ・D・サックスのようなインサイダーが互いに戦うことになるだろう…役に立たない悪党が死ぬたびに1点ずつもらえる…それはどうだ？

Que carajos acabo de escuchar? Este tipo no tiene ni idea. What did I just hear? This dude has no clue what he's talking about

Somewhat concerned that Millie wants dictatorial power for two years. It is dangerous to give anyone that power they will abuse it and in all cases seek to keep it. Hope the parliament vote this part of legislation/omnibus bill down.

This woman is jealous she is not attractive enough to even larp as a far right female influencer.

Just found your channel. Top notch. I subscribed.

Great interview, always a pleasure to listen to analysis and knowledge from Vijay

dr sachs is wrong. usg wants to own the world, and china may limit their success. that's a real fear. can't think why he didn't figure that out. burdened with logic, ethics and good-will, is likely the problem, although he has had ample time to understand the usg is populated with orcs.

To those with the power to intervene, your silence is deafening. You're cowards. This is what heroes look like. Take note. 🇵🇸❤️

The majority Syrian Sunny or Alawite understood that US never bring freedom or Democracy .. its not about Assad , the majority believe is US monetary is occupation and divide Syria just like Iraq or more US program to make syria against iran ... so syrian is a stronger fighters 13 years all the propaganda to change syrian mine failed Assad is a strong his people believe in him as freedom fighter I don't think the west project will succeed in syria

Sri Prashad - how did Amy Goodman react to your analysis of the NATO Libya hit job, especially after her reporting did so much to excuse and assist in the run up to the UN R2P ? did you ever get in her face about that ? why does Democracy Now do that, is it the Soros funding ?
