Jeffrey D. Sachs, a professor at the renowned Columbia University, recently wrote a sensational article about the current situation in Ukraine, in which he explained that America is primarily to blame for the situation escalating to this point. Sachs also expressed his opinion on the left-wing CNN broadcast, according to which the Western powers first lied to the Soviets and then to the Russians, while provoking the Russians with the continuous expansion of NATO, the campaigns in the Middle East and the expansion of the Black Sea.
Jeffrey D. Sachs said that the world is increasingly divided, and the sanctions introduced against Russia are causing enormous damage to Europe and the United States, and Western countries are increasingly threatened by stagflation (high inflation combined with recession). According to Sachs, American foreign policy has been provocative towards China and Russia in recent years.
We have shared the world and now we are paying a heavy price for it
he declared. Russia sees the issue of Ukraine as a matter of national security, and because of this, the war soon turned into a nuclear threat, but both the United States and Russia must keep their cool before the disaster happens, says Jeffrey D. Sachs,
The expert emphasized that a dialogue would have been necessary when Vladimir Putin spoke about the fact that NATO should not expand into Georgia and Ukraine. In addition, the Russian president offered to negotiate, but Joe Biden said that this was out of the question.
NATO was a defense alliance against the Soviet Union, which no longer exists. Despite this, it continues to expand, including to the Black Sea. To this, Russia said that they cannot allow this.ű
