Jeffrey Sachs on China's "Historic" Push for Multipolar World to End U.S. Domination

China is taking an increasingly assertive role in world affairs, helping to broker a restoration of relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, offering a 12-point peace plan for Ukraine, and strengthening its relationships with European and Latin American powers. Last week, China continued its diplomatic outreach by offering to hold talks between Israel and Palestine. "China doesn't want the United States to be the preeminent power. It wants to live alongside the United States," says economist Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University and president of the U.N. Sustainable Development Solutions Network. He has also served as adviser to three U.N. secretaries-general and currently serves as a sustainable development solutions advocate under Secretary-General António Guterres. His latest article is headlined "The Need for a New US Foreign Policy."

"A US led world"? Who are you kidding? US led, more like US dominated world that is why the US has 800 military bases in other countries AND the BIGGEST army in the history of the world. A country does not need military bases everywhere to lead the world, unless it decides that there is only ONE WAY, its way. Like US domination over the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Colombia, Cuba, Guatemala, Panama, Dominican Republic, Iraq, Iran, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Libya, Laos, Syria, Indonesia, Grenada, Haiti, Mexico, Canada... Hell there are so many I do not have time to list them all. According to Kelly and Laycock's book, the United States has invaded or fought in 84 of the 193 countries recognized by the United Nations and has been militarily involved with 191 of 193, a staggering 98 percent. You might not know it, but the rest of the world does, it has felt it, and is fed up, just like me, an American citizen, fed up with this country which is not really a country but a MAFIA. What really irks me the most is that with all the taxes I have paid there are 42 MILLION Americans, 12 MILLION of them children, ONE OUT OF SIX, that are starving and our MAFIA in control DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT!!!! It hurts me to admit it, but the world would be a better place WITHOUT the USA in it.

Some economists have projected that both the U.S. and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.

No worries, just send your kids to Taiwan to defend democracy from the Chinese attack. God will split Taiwan straight and drown all Chinese invaders.

So, you must hate China and want to kill the Chinese because our government never lies when it talks about China. The US government only tells the truth about China. After all, China certainly has weapons of mass destruction, which is reason enough for the US to go to war with China. Therefore, when it comes to war with China, all Americans must be willing to fight the Chinese, rush to China or Taiwan, and die there happily for democracy.

And what most of the world wants, in fact, is rules written in a multipolar or multilateral setting, not rules written by the U.S. and a few friends and allies." Yes. We need rules written by the dictatorships, especially the committers of genocide against Uighurs, suppression of democracy in Hong Kong in violation of international agreements signed by the PRC, persecution of Falun Gong adherents through imprisonment, torture, murder and forced organ-harvesting, repression of Tibetan self-determination for 70 years, chief sponsor of the most repressive government in the world in North Korea, and of the Myanmar junta as it commits genocide againt Rohingya Muslims, just as it was the chief ally of the former Sudanese regime as it committed genocide, and main sponsor of the genocidal Khmer Rouge. We need the democracies to shut up about human rights. In a "multilateral world" led by the two nuclear superpower dictatorships and their nuclear North Korean ally, the new "rules" will not allow complaints about "so-called human rights", as those governments are fond of calling them. There will be no rule barring invasion of and annexation of Ukraine or Georgia by Russia (or invasion of any other country deemed in Russia's "sphere of influence"), nor any rule prohibiting China's impending invasion of Taiwan and suppression of democracy there, or seizure of the South China Sea in violation of current international law, treaties, the World Court, and the wishes of countries of the region (Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, etc.).

In 250 years of existence as a nation, the US has fought (some successful, some not, some in complete failures) against 29 sovereign countries. (In Fact, since 1785, US have been involved, for 219 years, in some kind of war. And this wars, against all varieties of sovereign nations. From going against the Sultan of Morocco, to invading the tiny island of Grenada. Well, this means that in its entire history, it has only had 17 years of peace, and even fewer, cuz here the almost 5 years (1861-1865), of its Civil War of Secession are not counted (Union/Confederates), since this war was not with another country, but against US. And the wars against the Native Nations of America are not counted too, for the same reason). Anyway: US fought against 29 countries. It has "Grown" 711 times the size of its territory from the original 13 colonies. It has provoked with total impunity, Genocides, inside and outside its own borders, and assassinations of Gov’t. Leaders, Coups d'État and Economic Blockades in 6 UN member nations. (Between 1947 and 1989, the US tried to change other nations gov’ts. 73 times. It includes 66 covert Ops. And 7 overt ones. In Civil Wars: The US has taken advantage of and intervened without justification in the following Civil Wars: In Cuba (1898 and 1960). In Haiti (1813 and then 1915-1934). In Colombia (1899-1902 and 1948). In Mexico (1847 and 1914 and again in 1916). In Russia (1918). In the "Republic Banana Wars" of Central America (1912-1934). In Venezuela (1945 and again in 1948). In China (1857, and 1900, and again in 1945-1946-1949). In Korea (1950-1953). In Viet Nam (1959-1975). In Panama (1964 and again 1989). In Central Africa (1969-1974 and 1982-1988). In Nicaragua (1937 and 1985). In Bosnia (1995). In the Philippines (1898 and 1900)... In Kosovo, Libya, Lebanon, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Afghanistan, etc.). And more: US has almost 800 Military Bases scattered around the world; 93 of which are against China. On the other hand, China and Korea (The "Axis of Evil"), in 1,000 years of history have NEVER invaded anyone. These nations have fought their Civil Wars, defended themselves against foreign invasions, and secured their immediate borders, but they have never been meddling or aggressor countries. Do you know how many Military Bases China or Korea have outside their territory? None. Zero. Any. NADA! They do not have a single Base. These are verifiable facts. Neither China nor Korea will invade the world; US does... that's DONE, as US does in the Middle East. Iran also does not have a SINGLE MILITARY BASE outside its national territory, and it is surrounded by 16 US Bases, and it is US who call the Iranians Terrorists. Well, very good. You already know. Now, compare the Greatness of the US with the Greatness of China. The "Greatness" of the US is built on the foundations of Piracy, Slavery, Genocide, the Assassination of opponents, Opium Traffic, or Cocaine in its case, and is under the foundations of the weakness of other sovereign nations.

That's an honest confession, I applaud you for sharing. I just want to point out the 'eco chamber' and 'sheltering folk from knowledge' is not isolated to modern GOP. This is equally true for modern Democratic party. When it comes to foreign policy, the modern political establishment is a uniparty (with a few exceptions), hellbent on maintaining global hegemony and a unipolar world, and saturates the mainstream media with propaganda to gather political support for their agenda.

In the 1990s, Robert Kagan, along with Bill Kristol, who is on Institute for Study of War(ISW) board, founded the Project for a New American Century, which in the view of some observers played an important role in convincing George W. Bush to invade Iraq. The Kagan-Kristol Project for a New American Century(PNAC) was funded by arms makers, thanks largely to the work of Lockheed Martin executive Bruce P. Jackson, who became a director of PNAC. Jackson had earlier organized the US Committee to Expand NATO, which successfully lobbied for what its name suggests it lobbied for. Some people think NATO expansion-in particular George W. Bush’s 2008 addition of Ukraine to the list of future members-helped cause the Ukraine war, but in any event NATO expansion has over the past quarter century made lots and lots of money for Lockheed Martin and other American arms makers.

It's the *failure* of NATO expansion to Ukraine and Georgia which caused the war (and "has made lots of money for Lockheed Martin"). Putin has been very explicit that the countries of the former Soviet Union belong to Russia and have no right to independence. He laid this out in a lengthy article in 2020, in numerous speeches including days before the invasion of Ukraine, and in speeches going back to his declaration years ago that the breakup of the Soviet Union was the "worst catastrophe of the 20th century", i.e. worse than WW2, the Holocaust, and WW1. At the same time, he has always regarded countries under NATO's protective umbrella as - to use Mark Galeotti's expression - bullet-proof, that is, untouchable. That was his real objection to "NATO expansion" to Georgia and Ukraine. NATO has been on Russia's and the USSR's border since its inception in 1949 (Turkey), and that was never an issue. What *was* an issue was the "threat" (in the dictator's eyes) to expand protection to Georgia and Ukraine, which would have prevented Putin from invading those countries, crushing their democracies and self-determination, and seizing their land and annexing it back into Russia. This professor here has got everything completely backwards, but that's no surprise, since he's just parroting word for word a line you can hear on Russian state media every day. The democracies' real mistake - call it a crime if you want to be sanctimonious as is the style on this channel - is to talk up the possibility of those countries joining NATO while doing nothing about it (out of craven fear of Putin). Countries being considered for membership should immediately receive full NATO protection while their application is under consideration. That would have prevented war.

That lack of respect is also clear in Putin's repeated remarks about Ukraine being "not a country" and having an "illegitimate" government. There is nothing wrong with Ukraine taking Putin's concerns into account when UKRAINE decides for itself what alliances it will or will not join. Sachs repeatedly left Ukraine out, implying that the US is making decisions for them, which there is no evidence for, and which is pure, unadulterated Russian propaganda. As a side, Putin's belief that Ukraine's government is not legitimate is rich coming from a man who literally rigged his own election and changed laws to pave the way for him to become dictator-for-life. I was actually in Ukraine during Zelensky's campaign. Support for him was organic, even as far east as Mariupol. There is zero evidence for claiming that Zelensky was installed by the US.

What is your point of view, comrade? Please elaborate.

[@triskelion86]

Europeans are some of the most manipulated people in the world by their media which are usually aligned with Washington’s perspective.

[@misterae6430]

well sure but dont overcomplicate things in terms of breaching international law

[@paulshubsachs4977]

Professor Sachs makes much of NATO's "expansion", for which read, "popularity". The notion of a buffer zone for Russian security has been obliterated by Russia's savage invasion of Ukraine, which, if successful, would render NATO states even closer to Russian controlled territory. There's an old joke about a curfew situation in which a running citizen is shot by a soldier of the occupying force. The sergeant demands to know why the soldier shot the man, when the curfew is not enforceable for another ten minutes. The soldier replies, "I know where he lived;...he'd never have made it!".

This needs to be mainstream - otherwise the slaughter continues ..

Thank you. US news media show no interest at all to let people know.

13:03: "We have this very funny expression called a 'rule-based international order'; the U.S. government uses it everyday. But what does it mean? Who writes the rules? And what most of the world wants, in fact, is rules written in a multipolar or multilateral setting, not rules written by the U.S. and a few friends and allies." Yes. We need rules written by the dictatorships, especially the committers of genocide against Uighurs, suppression of democracy in Hong Kong in violation of international agreements signed by the PCR, persecution of Falun Gong adherents through imprisonment, torture, murder and forced organ-harvesting, repression of Tibetan self-determination for 70 years, chief sponsor of the most repressive government in the world in North Korea, and of the Myanmar junta as it commits genocide againt Rohingya Muslims, just as it was the chief ally of the former Sudanese regime as it committed genocide, and main sponsor of the genocidal Khmer Rouge. We need the democracies to shut up about human rights. In a "multilateral world" led by the two nuclear superpower dictatorships and their nuclear North Korean ally, the new "rules" will not allow complaints about "so-called human rights", as those governments are fond of calling them. There will be no rule barring invasion of and annexation of Ukraine or Georgia by Russia (or invasion of any other country deemed in Russia's "sphere of influence"), nor any rule prohibiting China's impending invasion of Taiwan and suppression of democracy there, or seizure of the South China Sea in violation of current international law, treaties, the World Court, and the wishes of countries of the region (Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, etc.). Thank you professor. Dictatorship Now!

Who owns both The Media & Hollywood this one 👉🇮🇱 That's why & why cause they are the ones behind all the problems worldwide.

[@lavendereucalyptus3225]

Because they basically serve US imperial state department. Especially after a bill was passed by Congress to give all media government money to bash US self inflicted ‘adversary’.

​@@sheilamacdougal4874 Rules written by the same USA junta regime government that committed the biggest genocide in entire human history, the two-century extermination of 100 million native Americans and robbing of their America homelands!

[@benjamins8082]

​@@sheilamacdougal4874 you forgot the killings of innocent Iraqi, Vietnamese, Korean, cuba, Chilean, syrian etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc the 🇺🇸. . Use your moyjrg for something more useless and swallow 😅😅😮😮

[@numinuecooper9975]

Thank you very much Mr. Sachs. I too believe that either every country or every continent must have a representative on the world stage not only five countries. Respect is why countries are turning away from the West. The West must treat all countries with the same respect she thinks she deserved and not to make the rules for the world. Every country must be represented, that would be fair and it would keep peace around the world.

[@gypsylove4291]

I agree. The US acting as if the other countries wanting the same respect that is given. Unfortunately it is very hard for us humans to understand their is more to world economics and hopefully world peace someday soon. Tic TOC. Better late than never giving a thought as to the damage we may have inflicted with our arrogance. Does that make sense? Hmm

[@geraldgreenman4715]

yes Jeff ,when pres Putin has finished killing all his own soldiers [cannon fodder] maybe he will have time to be fair and teach us all about peace ,jeeff arent you lucky to be able to castigate the American government WHY DONT YOU TRY IT WITH THE rUSSIAN AND CHINESE GOVERNMENT JEFF I will prepare your coffin

[@claytonmurray5004]

Russia is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. All that power and yet they haven't kept the peace.

[@rberliner6680]

The trouble is that we cannot have mutual respect for dictatorships and authoritarianism. How much do we cede to them?

[@ALTHAB-gd6ks]

Dictatorships and tyranny? Wait a minute, who told you that you are a free country? Who establishes tyranny and dictatorship? Do you mean that the country that imprisoned Assange and tried him because he published the truth and did his work as an honest journalist and exposed the tyranny, tyranny and crimes of the West in Iraq and Afghanistan? Wait, wait.. You do not know who appointed the regimes of these countries, which you describe as tyrannical? For example, countries in the Middle East.. Do you know how rulers are appointed there? Certainly not and you will not know as long as you think that you are free and that your values that you see as human and that most of the world see as decadence and injustice and do not fit the values and principles of the majority of societies should be published.. You do not know the truth of September 11th do you? Don't you know about the US intelligence recruiting two terrorists in cooperation with the Saudi intelligence (a branch of the CIA) and facilitating their entry into the United States? Don't you know that you invade countries, kill their people, and abandon them based on the "Greater Middle East" that the criminal Bush and Tony Blair started? To redraw the borders of the Middle East and Africa? You do not know the truth about what Israel (the terrorist state) is doing and being funded by Western countries that claim to be democracy, human rights and dirty Western nonsense. This state considers the Palestinians to have no right even to life, and considers any Palestinian a legitimate target that can be killed under the pretext of (terrorism). And I repeat the terror that began in Europe, especially in France in 1793, as a law allowing the authority to carry out popular genocide against what they called sympathizers of the monarchy. The same countries that claim to fight terrorists have supported, financed and armed terrorist groups, the first of which is the United States of America in order to control oil fields and gold mines in Africa, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Yemen and Somalia. ISIS was funded by French intelligence through a French company.. This is not a conspiracy theory, but it was condemned by the US Department of Justice Even the United States of America supports ISIS in Syria, and Jabhat al-Nusra (al-Qaeda in Syria) supports the organization that carried out the 9-11 operation, which it calls terrorist, and is still supporting it until now in Syria. Damn your freedom if it makes you an ignorant person who manipulates your mind and you see that you are the good who fights the bad while the reality of the situation you don't know It is that you are the only evil that threatens humanity, threatens the world, threatens freedoms, and suppresses peoples under the corrupt and tyrannical Western democratic propaganda.
