Jeffrey Sachs joins Glenn to share a powerful analysis of the Russia-West conflict and the ongoing war in Ukraine. In this in-depth discussion, Sachs explains why NATO’s expansion was a major provocation, how missed peace opportunities prolonged the war, and why Ukraine’s neutrality could be the only path to lasting security.
From the historical roots after World War II to the missed negotiations in 2022, Sachs argues that the crisis is not just about Ukraine but about the failure to build a fair post-Cold War security order. He highlights the need for diplomacy, UN-backed agreements, and a collective security system that respects all sides. If you want to understand the real story behind the Ukraine war, NATO’s role, and U.S. foreign policy, this conversation with Jeffrey Sachs is essential.
