Sachs: We've divided the world, now paying the cost

“Russia needs to leave [Ukraine], but the United States doesn't need to fill in afterwards. That's the basic point.”
Columbia University Center for Sustainable Development Director Jeffrey Sachs discusses Russia’s war in Ukraine and the costs of a divided world.

Saw an interesting article the other day. (for educational purposes only). There is a reason that most countries polled in December 2013 by Gallup called the United States the greatest threat to peace in the world, and why Pew found that viewpoint increased in 2017. But it is a reason that eludes that strain of U.S. academia that first defines war as something that nations and groups other than the United States do, and then concludes that war has nearly vanished from the earth. Since World War II, during a supposed golden age of peace, the United States military has killed or helped kill some 20 million people, overthrown at least 36 governments, interfered in at least 85 foreign elections, attempted to assassinate over 50 foreign leaders, and dropped bombs on people in over 30 countries. The United States is responsible for the deaths of 5 million people in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, and over 1 million just since 2003 in Iraq. Since 2001, the United States has been systematically destroying a region of the globe, bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Syria, not to mention the Philippines. The United States has “special forces” operating in two-thirds of the world’s countries and non-special forces in three-quarters of them. The U.S. government provides weapons, military training, and/or military funding to almost every dictatorship and oppressive government on earth. See my 2020 book 20 Dictators Currently Supported by the U.S. U.S. weapons are used on both sides of many wars. In an attempt to quantify U.S. warmaking, I’ve copied below lists from these sources: David Vine: The United States of War William Blum: America’s Deadliest Export: Democracy Dr. Zoltan Grossman: A Century of U.S. Military Interventions James Lucas: U.S. Has Killed More Than 20 Million People From David Vine’s The United States at War: A list of wars (italic) and of military combat that for some reason isn’t called a war (non-italic) that does not attempt to include every war and combat against Native Americans: 1774-1883 Shawnee, Delaware 1776 Cherokee 1777-1781 Iroquois Confederacy (Haudenosaunee) 1780-1794 Chickamauga 1790-1795 Miami Confederacy 1792-1793 Muskogee (Creek) 1798-1801 France 1801-1805 Tripoli 1806 Mexico 1806-1810 Spanish, French privateers 1810 Spanish West Florida 1810-1813 Shawnee Confederacy 1812 Spanish Florida 1812-1815 Canada (Great Britain) 1812-1815 Dakota Sioux 1812-1815 Iroquois Confederacy (Haudenosaunee) 1813 Spanish West Florida 1813-1814 Marquesas Islands 1813-1814 Muskogee (Creek) Confederacy 1814 Spanish Florida 1814-1825 Pirates 1815 Algiers 1815 Tripoli 1816 Spanish Florida 1817 Spanish Florida 1817-1819 Seminole 1818 Oregon (Russia, Spain) 1820-1861 African Slave Trade Patrol 1822-1825 Cuba (Spain 1824 Puerto Rico (Spain) 1827 Greece 1831-1832 Falkland Islands 1832 Sauk 1832 Sumatra 1833 Argentina 1835-1836 Peru 1835-1842 Seminole 1836 Mexico 1836-1837 Muskogee (Creek) 1838-1839 Sumatra 1840 Fiji Islands 1841 Samoa 1841 Tabiteuea 1842 Mexico 1843 China 1844 Mexico 1846-1848 Mexico 1847-1850 Cayuse 1849 Turkey 1850-1886 Apache 1851 Johanna Island 1851 Turkey 1852-1853 Argentina 1853-1854 Japan 1853-1854 Nicaragua 1853-1854 Ryukyu, Ogasawara islands 1854-1856 China 1855 Fiji Islands 1855 Uruguay 1855-1856 Rogue River Indigenous Peoples 1855-1856 Yakima, Walla Walla, Cayuse 1855-1858 Seminole 1856 Panama (Colombia) 1856-1857 Cheyenne 1857 Nicaragua 1858 Coeur d’Alene Alliance 1858 Fiji Islands 1858 Uruguay 1858-1859 Turkey 1859 China 1859 Mexico 1859 Paraguay 1860 Angola 1860 Colombia 1862 Sioux 1863-1864 Japan 1864 Cheyenne 1865 Panama (Colombia) 1866 China 1866 Mexico 1866-1868 Lakota Siouw, Northern Cheyenne, Northern Arapaho 1867 Formosa (Taiwan) 1867 Nicaragua 1867-1875 Comanche 1868 Colombia 1868 Japan 1868 Uruguay 1870 Hawaii 1871 Korea 1872-1873 Modoc 1873 Colombia (Panama) 1873-1896 Mexico 1874 Hawaii 1874-1875 Comanche, Apache, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Kiowa 1876-1877 Sioux 1877 Nez Perce 1878 Bannock (Banna’kwut) 1878-1879 Cheyenne 1879-1880 Utes 1882 Egypt 1885 Panama (Colombia) 1888 Haiti 1888 Korea 1888-1889 Samoa 1889 Hawaii 1890 Argentina 1890 Lakota Sioux 1891 Bering Straight 1891 Chile 1891 Haiti 1893 Hawaii 1894 Brazil 1894 Nicaragua 1894-1895 China 1894-1896 Korea 1895 Panama (Colombia) 1896 Nicaragua 1898 Cuba (Spain) 1898 Nicaragua 1898 Philippines (Spain) 1898 Puerto Rico (Spain) 1898-1899 China 1899 Nicaragua 1899 Samoa 1899-1913 Philippines 1900 China 1901-1902 Colombia 1903 Dominican Republic 1903 Honduras 1903 Syria 1903-1904 Abyssinia (Ethiopia) 1903-1914 Panama 1904 Dominican Republic 1904 Tangier 1904-1905 Korea 1906-1909 Cuba 1907 Honduras 1909-1910 Nicaragua 1911-1912 Honduras 1911-1914 China 1912 Cuba 1912 Turkey 1912-1933 Nicaragua 1914 Dominican Republic 1914 Haiti 1914-1919 Mexico 1915-1934 Haiti 1916-1924 Dominican Republic 1917-1918 World War I (Europe) 1917-1922 Cuba 1918-1920 Russia 1918-1921 Panama 1919 Dalmatia 1919 Turkey 1919-1920 Honduras 1925 Panama 1932 El Salvador 1941-1945 World War II (Europe, North Africa, Asia/Pacific) 1946 Trieste 1947-1949 Greece 1948-1949 Berlin, Germany 1950 Formosa (Taiwan) 1950-1953 Korea 1953-1954 Formosa (Taiwan) 1955-1975 Vietnam 1956 Egypt 1958 Lebanon 1962 Cuba 1962 Thailand 1962-1975 Laos 1964 Congo (Zaire) 1965 Dominican Republic 1965-1973 Cambodia 1967 Congo (Zaire) 1976 Korea 1978 Congo (Zaire) 1980 Iran 1981 El Salvador 1981 Libya 1981-1989 Nicaragua 1982-1983 Egypt 1982-1983 Lebanon 1983 Chad 1983 Grenada 1986 Bolivia 1986 Libya 1987-1988 Iran 1988 Panama 1989 Bolivia 1989 Colombia 1989 Libya 1989 Peru 1989 Philippines 1989-1990 Panama 1990 Saudi Arabia 1991 Congo (Zaire) 1991-1992 Kuwait 1991-1993 Iraq 1992-1994 Somalia 1993-1994 Macedonia 1993-1996 Haiti 1993-2005 Bosnia 1995 Serbia 1996 Liberia 1996 Rwanda 1997-2003 Iraq 1998 Afghanistan 1998 Sudan 1999-2000 Kosovo 1999-2000 Montenegro 1999-2000 Serbia 2000 Yemen 2000-2002 East Timor 2000-2016 Colombia 2001 -

Sanity from Jeffrey Sachs. Good for him for keeping his cool in face of "fight to the last Ukrainian" pro-war questioning on the part of CNNs State Department stenographer.

[@philiptan2051]

Agreed entirely with prof Sachs. 👍👍

[@pl494]

The professor makes a lot of sense. He needs to convince members of the defense-industry complex and Republican members of Congress who may or may not rely on financial contributions of the arms producers. It is time that U.S. adopt a law outlawing the lobbying of gun dealers, weapon producers and outlawing political donation from these interest groups. Whoever runs for government positions should be barred from taking donations from the gun/weapon dealers and manufacturers. Isn't it clear who can benefit from American wars overseas?

Jeffrey Sachs seems almost always right. We have divided the world, and that arose from competition, and from capitalist acquisition and accumulation. The ultimate answer must lie in the simple notion that people must cooperate. We must all live on this planet with caring for the rest of the people. Through cooperation we rise; through the market place we are divided and must fail.

It is already happening, applications to join BRI and BRICS have been inncreasing weekly. Even KSA applied for BRICS which means the death of petrodollar rule over the world.. 70% of the world now is outside of the US empire, and represents all the growing economies. I an American who has been living in Russia for 22 years and can see daily the more optimistic views and confidence that result in Russia turning its back on the empire and Europe after centuries of abuse and hostilities from the west. The majority of Russians clearly want all trade to end but Russia always honors contracts and treaties so Europe will still get resources needed for its declining industries until the contracts expire. They will not be renewed however so the US and Europe are going to wish they had not been so aggressive about threatening Russia by moving US missiles right up to Russia's border as it has been doing for 7 decades. Everyone in the west it talking about prices increasing but they are at least getting those commodities but soon will not get them at any price. Russia is simply not going to trade countries that are hostile aggressors. Europe is in a triple bind, a vassal to the US, having no say in their own future and being cut off from the rapidly expanding second pole of the new multi-polar world that was created in March when the US broke apart its ownn unipolar workd order. 70% of the world population is now outside the US empire. The massive change has not hit Americans yet but soon will. Even KSA is moving to the second pole so the dollar will no longer be the world reserve currency. That changes everything. Why all the world moving away from the empire? Simple, they are all victims of western imperialism and Russia has exposed the US and NATO as weak and ineffective so the targetted world is moving to the exit door. The US ruled as Europe did for 400 years, by violence and aggression but now the world sees when it sticks together, the US and its NATO are beatable.

Don't be idiotic, Russia had no intention of invading/attacking Sweden or Finland. It comes down to weak leadership from those two countries. They reacted to their fear rather than fact. Prof Sacks is totally correct.

[@farshidbazyar6626]

And thats gonna make more problems. Russia will put their nukes next to Finland and Sweden border, in Kaliningrad, they will help US and NATO enemies like Iran having Nukes, and the world will be more divided. One side is West (EU and US in general), other side will be Russia, China, Iran, Africa, South America and some more. And Im telling you, the Russian side will be more powerful and stronger militarily and economically. They already have 60% of the world population. They will have more then half of the world economy. But these will happen in more than 20years. It has already started.

[@bigmaristuff]

I just had a conversation with some Swedish friends. When I suggested that by giving up neutrality they were giving up their freedom by becoming puppets of the US run NATO. They replied that it was better then being invaded by Russia. This is the kind of foolish nonsense that the main stream Swedish media is spewing . My friends thought that they were next on Putin's hit list.

Jeffrey Sachs is one of the very few rational, anti-war voices. If our leaders were listening to advice from persons like him, our world would not have these ridiculous problems of military aggression. The other anti-war voices are actually pro-war, if we look at their actions/goals/perspectives. But certainly it’s very difficult for a true anti-war position to prevail. Our leaders get money from arms corporations and fossil fuels corporations.

The war ends when Russia decides to end it, either by leaving a landlocked Ukraine as a buffer, or by taking it all. NATO (read the US) has LOST not only the military war but also the economic war. The US should acknowledge this reality and work to build a lasting peace (wishful thinking).

[@asdrubalanibal6853]

“Russia needs to leave [Ukraine], but the United States doesn’t need to fill in afterwards. That’s the basic point.” The Soviet Union left Ukraine in the early nineties. The USA, the EU, and the whole Atlantic Alliance immediately “filled in” already, three decades ago. That is why Russia is back in Ukraine, that is why Russia directly involved itself in a military conflict. This is what the USA wanted all along. Either was this current bloodbath in Ukraine, or it would have been later in Russian territory, with NATO nuclear, ballistic missiles, and massive number of troops amassed along the old Ukrainian- Russian borden.
