If you listen to Sachs on this topic, he claims (And I do not doubt him) that the modest – few billion dollar, underpinning of Poland that the US provided which bought time for recovery was laughed at in Washington when he suggested it for Russia.
He’s the scapegoat not the cause.

Cohn was more flouted than flouting, and that explains
his “tough pussy” caricature. Was he Trump’s mentor
in depravity, or was Donnie a natural- born scuzz?

Going Down!

” The wolves don’t gather to watch a wounded cow die.”
Sachs was not a wolf.

Anyone silly enough to put Jeffrey Sachs into the same putrid bowl of shit as DEMONIC George Soros has no idea what he’s talking about. One works for Peace, the other for Chaos and Destruction of the White Race.

However, I think your quip about Eddie Murphy’s character in “Trading Places” being the “first Obama” is hilarious and on point. I see the resemblance, and it’s not just in skin color. Both were con artists in the extreme, who achieved quick wealth due to funding from unethical billionaire currency speculators, in Murphy’s case the fictional Duke Brothers and in Obama’s George Soros.

Quebec might expand by allowing thousands from Haiti to arrive

They’ve been doing this since at least the 1970s, of course they ramped it up during Baby Doc Trudeau’s misrule. When I drive by my suburban Montreal high school at lunch hour, I see groups of students coming and going, I rarely see a white kid. It’s just a sea of black with the occasional lighter brown mixed in. Apparently all of Montreal is like this. There are 2 white kids on my street (about 80 houses), and they’re from immigrants from Kazakhstan. Most of the houses are still owned by aging whites, none of us have school-aged children.

Quebec might expand by allowing thousands from Haiti to arrive and many are combat ready and are good at organizing gangs.

Mogilevich has his tentacles everywhere …

And Donald Trump was mentored by Roy Cohn….”Laws do not apply to us Donnie as Cohn dashes through another red traffic light Manhattan rush hour. However AIDS eventually caught up to Roy Cohn…..you can not flout Nature forever.

Not as many. And certainly not according to most accounts. Unless those guys tossed out windows and poisoned across a host of western cities weren’t in fact who we think they were.

I lived thru that era. As I recall the consensus was as I described. If you can argue against it, please do so.

Are you jewish?

I actually there, melonfarmer and I clearly recall the facts and you do not. “The consensus was”??? Was the local We ‘R’ Weakass Bullshit Arguments store closed and you had to work that out of your ass with a pencil like the constipated accountant in the joke?*

And yes I’m as Jewish as you want me to be, stud! For an extra two hundred dollars. I will treat you like a Palestinian POW for your guilty pleasure because it’s better to give than to receive.

*punchline is “He worked it out with a pencil.” I may be a Jew for the right john and an extra two hundred dollars but I’m no Buddy Hackett.

Once again, commenters are throwing Mr Sachs under the bus as the guy who destroyed the Russian economy, and he is part of a Zionist/Jewish clan to take over the world or whatever. And once again I protest. I could provide links to several long posts I have made here in the Unz comment section outlining my view that this take is both wrong, unfair and absolutely not helpful. But it’s late so I won’t.

Mr Sachs has been quite vocal in recent months pointing out Netanyahu’s part in provoking endless conflicts in the mid-east. And his significant part in the hoax to bring about the war in Iraq. So his take isn’t – it’s all about the Oil. Not anymore at least. He constantly attacks the Israels lobby, the Zionists billionaires and points out the outsized and totally ridiculous power these entities have over U.S. politics. How many figures of his stature do that?

He has also strongly emphasized and exposed the anti-semitic canard as rhetorical weapon used endlessly by the Zionists to silence their critics.

As to his involvement in Russia during and after the fall of the Soviet Union. We don’t have to guess about his position because we have a paper he wrote in 1992 available on the web. I suggest people read it to realize the situation he was trying to deal with. http://earth.columbia.edu/sitefiles/file/about/director/documents/jnraer0192.pdf

Brief comment about this:
At the time, the powers that be in Russia had given up on the communist system and wanted to be a ‘normal’ country with market economy. From what I gather it was seen as almost the only viable option. It follows enormous privatization was needed. And at the time, the centrally planned economy of the USSR was suddenly ripped apart by new boarders with several fully independent nations being born. This left most of Russian industry and other companies in a Zombie like state. Without customers or suppliers and basically no idea what to do.

In Mr Sachs defense, instead of digging up my previous posts I asked Open A.I. this question:

Mr Jeffery Sachs is frequently accused of being one of the ‘gang’ that caused enormous economic catastrophe in Russia by providing bad economic advice. Sure the privatization in Russia was a disaster. Recently Mr Sachs has defended himself in interviews and articles. Can you summarize his defense?

I was so pleased with the answer I got I posted it under the MORE tag. The story is quite different than most people believe. And no, as far as I can gather this isn’t the A.I. hallucinating or making stuff up.

China can have bases in Cuba, Mexico and Venezuela. And I hope they get them, too.

NOT a good way to play the game. Think Vietnam and Afghanistan, China never had bases in these countries. Just gave them the weapons they needed!

Less than before, but much more than most people realize.

The ancient Greek historian Thucydides records that when imperial Athens confronted the small island of Melos in 416 BC, the Athenians declared that “the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.�

Further apropos Thucydides, there’s this.

According to Gore in 2006, we would all be dead in 5 years. Why do you persist in believing in this nonsense? If you are young enough, will you realize this was false in 10 more years? 20 more? What would it take?

That big arab taking the rifle off the bloke in black obviously wasn’t part of the, er, script.
Your thoughts, Mulga?

Re the Bondi Beach mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration:

Israel says “blood of the victims is on the hands of the Australian government�

Likewise, the blood of several hundred thousand Gazan victims is on the hands of the genocidal Israeli government, which routinely murders more civilians every day than even the most unusual and extreme mass shooting in Australia.

Australia should not tolerate this vicious slander from a rotten, flea-bitten, non-western little apartheid colony.

Death to the IDF.

‘“I’m saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oilâ€�. Alan Greenspan 2007. Warfare in Iraq ultimately benefited U.S. arms manufacturers, Chevron and Condoleezza Rice.’ — RoboMoralFascist 1st

Ah Christ, here we go again with the Jeffrey Sachs / Michael Hudson / Jonathan Cook canard that “It’s all about the oil.”

NO. It was all about little Israel’s plan to destabilize seven Arab countries is seven years. Nothing else matters. And the US doesn’t particularly need the oil — it’s a net energy exporter.

But hasbara requires that failed adventures like the US invasion of Iraq are passed off as American rather than Israeli initiatives. It won’t work, despite the highly-credentialed propagandists lined up to spew this errant nonsense.

Death to the IDF.

“Climate-change-policy coordination� IS a hoax.

Just so.

The NSS … dismisses climate cooperation as “ideology,� and indeed a “hoax� according to Trump’s recent speech at the UN.

Since the quoted sentence stands as yet another confirmation of the familiar old saw “even a broken clock tells the right time twice a day,” it is unfortunate that Sachs partly undercuts his otherwise strong case for abominating this barbarous document by sneering at what appears to be the one thing the document gets right.

Russia is still controlled by jewish oligarchs

You should title your post with the warning…

The Northcom treaty, USA and Canada to observe no borders regarding armed forces.
I cannot remember any pre publicity or Congress voting on the treaty with another country.

It was signed by American and Canadian generals February 14th 2008

https://www.globalresearch.ca/north-american-military-agreement-signed-by-the-u-s-and-canada/8551

In a political move that received little if any attention by the American news media, the United States and Canada entered into a military agreement on February 14, 2008, allowing the armed forces from one nation to support the armed forces of the other nation during a domestic civil emergency, even one that does not involve a cross-border crisis, according to a police commander involved in homeland security planning and implementation.

There were Canadians (Quebeckians ) videoed at the Sandy Hoax event in one video clip, you can just hear the french being spoken in the background.

And a sidenote, by allowing Candians onto US soil this also gives the UK a covert backdoor into the US. re Wikipedia and its outsourced connections.

“I’m saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil”. Alan Greenspan 2007

Warfare in Iraq ultimately benefited U.S. arms manufacturers, Chevron and Condoleezza Rice. The Saudis wanted their $100 billion in loans back with interest from Saddam for financing a war against Iran. Saddam took his arms business to Russia and Bushco couldn’t have that business go elsewhere.

The president’s latest National Security Strategy memorandum treats the freedom to coerce others as the essence of US sovereignty. It is an ominous document that will—if allowed to stand—come back to haunt the United States.

Clearly simple evidence of the criminal mind that cannot produce intelligent, rational, peaceful and productive results. Vested to that criminality is destructive, irrational, warmongering chaos through unsupported claims and accusations against other nation/states.

Trump overwhelmingly displays he is nothing more than another fool on behalf of anti-Christ shittyworld and endlessly in need of another resource war thinking that it supports the USD and a printing press economy.

BRICS, dedollarization, debasement investing and a bullshit attitude thinking you can tell others who they can trade with and what they can trade (U.S. sanctions) is the desperation of the criminal imbecility that consumes the United States federal government and the Trumpstein economic toilet.

Perhaps the corruption and insanity of Biden shittyworld was worse. The Ukraine war has no end until the Russians decide to get rid of Zelensky and crew. Meanwhile the whorehouse of U.S. empire needs another war in Venezuela, Iran, Africa… wherever they can start another fire.

Trump’s Chicago-gangster proposals: “You trade with us or we break your country” contrasts sharply with Lavrov’s eloquent requests for Indivisible Security. Here’s what he said in February 2022:
https://mid.ru/en/foreign_policy/news/1796679/

I have said before that Trump and his MAGA people are just American imperialists who are too stupid to understand how modern imperialism works. This strategy document confirms that. Smart imperialism looks like George Soros and Barack Obama… As Sachs notes above, they only undermine themselves by taking a sledgehammer to the foundations of the American imperial order.

Sachs, Obama and Soros are “ease into it” Anti-Christ Zionists. Smooth, jive-talking hustlers who slowly insinuate their way into the world, get it dependent on JUSA heroine ($$$) and then mass-kill their prone victims. This is how gradualist jew Sachs tried to take down Russia in the 90’s with his kosher cabal, and how the jew Soros has always operated. (Obama is just a Black voodooist, street hustler/hired hand. Eddie Murphy in Trading Places was actually the first Obama. The arrogant Zionist jackasses just can’t help themselves.)

Covid was a Sachs/Soros style jew job; 9/11 was a hard-Zionist “sledgehammer” style jew job.

Trump and his kosher crew are sledgehammer Anti-Christ Zionists. Sachs/Soros/kosher Dems are gradualist Anti-Christ Zionists.

So they both end up in the same place: Anti-Christ hell on earth. Those nations around Israel are increasingly hell on earth thanks to jews and the neocons, their wars, and the Satanic “Abraham Accords”. Latin America is increasingly hell on earth due to jews and the neocons and the Satanic “Isaac Accords”.
http://www.judeofascism.com/2025/12/failing-to-rope-more-major-arab-and.html?m=1

The JUSA/ Anglosphere/ NATOsphere is increasingly hell on earth thanks mostly to gradualists Sachs/Soros jews, Covid scams, “Green” scams, divide and rule identity politics scams, Big Pharma scams, etc, and now going down with the rest of the world.

All we know at this point from the NSS is that it suggests that new leadership has asserted itself in the US with the capacity to see itself in relation to the world realistically, update its worldview, and adjust its corollary behavior in response to changing conditions.

Or possibly, they asked Elbridge Colby to write the thing because no one on the Trump team is smart enough to do it, and since none of them read and wouldn’t have understood half of it if they tried, they simply published it. Thinking no one else was smart enough to figure out what it says, either. Stupid people are stupid that way, they assume everyone else is stupid too.

Sachs has repeatedly explained that the actions he prescribed for Russia in 1990s, which were similar to what he prescribed for Poland, were ignored directly by decision makers above him

That is indeed the story he tells today. But somehow, back in the ’90s, the whole country was looted and handed over to his tribe. What he says doesn’t matter; what matters is what actually happened, and he was part of it.

Commies in Canada should take note: this kind of nonsense in America’s back yard is just the excuse they need to send troops.

Best just to stay away from the communism plague altogether.

There are no ‘commies’ in Canada, haven’t been any in fact since USA/UK sent a bunch of Ukrianian Nazis here to destroy the last pocket of genuine communism, the pre-WW2 Ukrainian immigrants and their union hall movement. The Nazis succeeded, breaking heads under the approving eye of the RCMP, and we haven’t had organized communism since then.

The RCMP no longer has to bring in foreign Nazis to break communists’ heads, since the ‘5 Eyes’ security agreement requires participating countries to keep an anti-communist police task force. To prevent any ‘commies’ from getting anywhere close to the levers of power. Since then, any genuine left-winger who tries entering electoral politics in Canada is taken out by the RCMP, one way or another. Like the other 5 Eyes countries, they occasionally admit this is part of their mission. I have seen similar admissions from UK and Australia.

As for defending ourselves from USA, Canada’s categorical imperative in foreign policy since 1814 is to avoid a repeat of 1812. We do it by integrating our military and economy with USA’s, to make annexation superfluous. Doesn’t stop them from trying anyway, like when the CIA armed, funded and trained Quebec terrorists during the 1970 October Crisis, with the goal of separating Quebec from the rest of Canada, so the whole country could be annexed piecemeal. They’re doing the same with Alberta and British Columbia right now, in fact I’m a bit surprised we aren’t seeing weekly bombings yet. It’s coming. Terrorists gonna terrorize. A leopard doesn’t change his spots; this is how USA does ‘regime change’ and allies will not be spared. They are certainly flooding Canada with guns deliberately, just like they do Mexico.

And the loyalty of our RCMP and CAF to Canada cannot be taken for granted in dealing with such terrorism, they are both under indirect command of their US counterparts.

[Sachs wrote:] “Following the American War of Independence, thirteen newly sovereign states soon adopted a constitution to pool key powers—over taxation, defense, and diplomacy—not to weaken the states’ sovereignty, but to secure it by creating the US Federal Government. The post-WWII foreign policy of the United States government did the same through the UN, the Bretton Woods institutions, the World Trade Organization, and arms-control agreements.�

[WingsofaDove wrote:] Obviously the plan among the secretive plutocrats who hid out writing the constitution was precisely to weaken state sovereignty. Why pretend otherwise? The statesmen arguing in the Federalist Papers were more honest than Mr. Sachs. They stated clearly that the ‘overall public good’ was served by limiting or de facto eliminating, States’ sovereignty and transferring that sovereignty to the Federal Govt.

Well said. Why did Sachs choose to mar an otherwise good article with such an obvious and because obvious, seemingly purposeless lie?

Exactly as predicted by moi, the Zionazis have confected a ‘terrorist atrocity’ in Sydney, to punish Arsetralia for the massive Harbour Bridge march against the Holy Genocidal Gaza Holocaust. As ever, Gaza is vanished, never to be mentioned. ‘Memory-Holed’, entirely.
All opposition to that genocide is simply ‘Jew-hatred’, and the Zionazis are already, also predictably, blaming Iran. Meanwhile, sixteen dead (plainly a tragedy and atrocity)evoke one thousand times more angst and blubbering from the vermin who rule us, than the TEN THOUSAND TIMES more victims in Gaza. The word ‘evil’ is being bandied about, obviously correctly, but NO Arsetralian politician has ever or will ever dare describe Gaza as evil.

‘Drill, baby, drill’, and die in a climate destabilisation apocalypse. By 2050, I’d say. The eschatological psychopaths actually welcome it, unsurprisingly. ‘No more water-the fire next time’. Got that wrong-it’s fire AND water, ‘baby’.

The thuggery and hubris are perennial features of US behaviour. What is different is the naked assertion, deriving, I would say, from the TOTAL control of US politics by psychopathic Judaic supremacists, whose ideology of ‘Chosenness’ and superiority over ALL other people has been fully integrated into US elite psychology and behaviour.

The original Constitution did not enable the obliteration of state sovereignty.

That was effected by a dictatorial Lincoln and multiple examples of Supreme Court betrayal. The 16th and 17th Amendments transformed the original scheme and enabled the Congress and the president to obliterate state sovereignty big time.

I remember Nixon and his Plumbers who broke into the wrong houses and scared the bejesus out of innocents.

That never happened. Why do you feel the compulsion to lie?

And post WWII, immediately, the foreign policy of the USA was not about “securing� the sovereignty of various govt’s around the world. Sachs knows this. Why the subterfuge?

Because part of the “securing of sovereignty” was that of Israel and the rest is a smokescreen for that?

BTW, US support for decolonization was a longstanding conspiracy to ensure US financial control over former Empires and to prize open their markets to burgeoning US manufactures while Europe was on its knees.

Someone wrote above that “No one has ever viewed USA as Athens.” Actually there is a lot to compare imperial Athens to USA. Athens tired to be an imperial power and a Democracy at the same time. Melos was an island nation of fishermen. Athen survived its fall in 404 B.C. because its enemies loved Athens’ soft power. Hollywood and Country and Western might save America.

You’re right over the target.

Sachs is an anti-nationalist Jew (!!!) who’s still a Two-Stater, meaning a Zionist and an Open Borderist.

I haven’t seen one 0f his contributions on Gaza where he doesn’t shift most of the blame onto the US.

‘It’s a twwwrrick: we always use it.’

There are important considerations this article misses.

First, even a glimmer of realism is a supernova compared to what we have witnessed over the last 25 years. And isn’t the hubris just par for the American course? And so, sheer rhetoric aside and given the timeline and historical context, I would consider just this glimmer in and of itself to be hugely significant.

Secondly, despite the repugnance of its tone, the NSS is the most honest policy document we have seen in quite some time – although, this does admittedly feel strange to say. But consider that unlike the pseudo-intellectual, mealy-mouthed neocon think-tank policy documents, the NSS manifests a higher fidelity correspondence between the stated policy and the types of actions we have come to expect the US to carry out in any case. This is also of paramount significance because such a policy change implies that the Trumpists, despite their abrasive style, have the capacity to view themselves in relation to the world objectively, are open to feedback, and, as a consequence, have adjusted their world view accordingly. Such attributes are strong indicators of an intellectual and emotional maturity we have not seen since before the Neocons.

It has become fashionable to reflexively bash the Trumpists. But absolutist value judgements come at the cost of visibility into the nature of the system as a whole.

There is a major civilizational refactor underway in the world. And it is organic. The forces at play are vastly larger than any one individual or nation can control in its favor. The neocons thought they could outshine the face of God. There was no place for the American people in their hearts or cognitive maps, only for Israel. But now the geopolitical context has changed to the extent that there is no basis for their continued influence and no reasonable expectation of their return.

It is too early to know which way the wind will blow. Will action follow blindly from policy? Will policy be continually updated to reflect changing conditions? Will optimism regress to business as usual? All we know at this point from the NSS is that it suggests that new leadership has asserted itself in the US with the capacity to see itself in relation to the world realistically, update its worldview, and adjust its corollary behavior in response to changing conditions.

Whether you like the Trumpists or not, these are the leadership characteristics the US needs in order to regain its posture within the scope of its actual influence in a rapidly changing world beyond the control of any individual or nation.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things that I can; and the wisdom to know the difference. — unknown

But will these observations remain consistent over time? We shall see…

The president’s latest National Security Strategy memorandum treats the freedom to coerce others as the essence of US sovereignty.

First of all, I think one needs to ask if this assertion is really true? That is, is it really this new NSS which suddenly, out of nowhere, gives the US “freedom to coerce others”, as the Author says? Or is there nothing new about it and this has been a long standing policy and practice? I am not entirely sure the Author is correct on this point.

However, putting these doubts aside, for the moment, that is assuming the Author is correct in his analysis, then the real question that needs to be asked is about the root causes of that change of behavior (assuming there is a change in behavioral pattern here). Unfortunately the Author does not look into the causal relationship between what is going on in the US vs its allegedly changing international strategy.

In psychology, a great deal of effort has been put into understanding bullying patterns. And today we do know quite well that bullying stems from (often deep-seated) insecurities and fear, from low self-esteem, from past traumas, from attachment issues, or simply from learned behaviors.

If we were to translate these individual experiences to a societal level (which often is justified), then it would indicate that the American nation has recently experienced many of these issues. I do not think past traumas or learned behaviors are at fault here. But: deep-seated insecurities, fear, low self-esteem, and attachment issues, all seem rather evident the modern US society.

So, IF that is the case, then the only way to deal with the bullying is by dealing with the internal problems. Is anybody doing that in the US? Personally, I doubt that.

The Zionists want all these Wars and are pushing for them. These people do not care one whit for the welfare of anybody–except for themselves. The Neocons and Zionist will have to have Reality rammed down their throats–likely multiple times before they change their ways.

If the USA is to save itself in the long run the talmud and the Protocols of The Elders of Zion must be studied at the high school and university level. The devils cannot stand the light.

The so called war on drugs is bullshit, a lie. a scam, a psyop, just recently zionist puppet Trump pardoned Honduran drug boss Juan Orlando Herandaz who had ran tons and tons of cocaine into America and was sentenced to 45 years in prison and Trump pardoned him, so much for the war on drugs.

The biggest drug runners in the world are the CIA and the Mossad and MI6 and these are fully backed by the ZUS and Israel and ZBritain. The attack on Venezuela is outright criminal by the criminal terrorist zionist regime in the ZUS which has total control over America and is destroying America for the zionist globalists.

One of the reasons for the United States’ interest in controlling Venezuela and its oil, according to Ed Conway of Sky News:

“The real reason Venezuela matters�

Sachs has a way of noticing things with Trump that he could never see with Clinton, Bush, Obama or Biden. Nevermind that the very unilateral looting and plunder he pretends is alien to US policy was how he first got rich in Russia during the 90’s. Trump just cuts the fake veneer of politesse from the gangsterism that was there all along.

Heck, bombing a few fisherman and speed boats off Venezuela, and pirating one puny oil tanker, is like three days of what we’ve been doing nonstop in Syria since 2011. If we can have bases in Ukraine, Poland and Finland, then Russia and China can have bases in Cuba, Mexico and Venezuela. And I hope they get them, too.

Trust The Plan, either god’s plan or the White Hat plan of Q, depending on your level of critical thinking skills. All roads lead to the Synagogue where our ultimate fate is pre-determined, so the path taken really doesn’t matter much in the grand scheme of things, does it?

Is Denmark a friend of America’s? Sachs doesn’t pose the tough questions, like:

Why was Denmark allowed to keep Greenland despite the global shift toward decolonization and the wishes of the Greenlanders themselves?

Why is Denmark one of the most belligerent Russophobic countries in Europe with a vicious succubus serving as PM who when she’s not murdering defenseless animals is saying “all red lines” must be removed in Ukraine, a WW3 guarantee?

Did Mette Frederiksen actually say “peace is more dangerous than the current war?” Yes she did. How are those the words of an ally? That’s a country I don’t want to defend or be associated with in any way.

Why do people like Sachs think that Danes are “a good ally” because they sent troops to Helmand Province? Agreeing with Bush, Cheney and MI6 makes you a good ally? FOH

Good point. But … Trump’s administration is rising well in the rankings. A ways to go yet to catch up with FDR, WW, and such.
Duck and cover, World!

No doubt Sacks was never a free agent, but the fact of the matter is, that billions of Rubles were transferred from the average Russian to a handful of Jewish Oligarchs. Sacks was at the scene of the largest robbery of the century, therefore, guilty, by association.

“even the shooters don’t know” is a foolproof tactic that has served god’s self-chosen ones very well for a very long time. That Magic bullet is still bouncing around in JFK’s limo and Mohammed Atta’s passport is still floating around in the shadow of the Twin Towers. Only by examining the shadow, can we even approximate the motives of “god” Goyim are not privy to the Master Plan. As George Carlin said, “there’s a club and you’re not in it” Until the FBI places listening devices in the inner sanctums of the Synagogue and translates the Hebrew, we will remain forever off-guard and clueless.

Deranged boomers like you and Trump should kindly die before you get us into World War III.

agree, there’s nothing new in this, trump just pruned away the fig leafs and now we see the ugly naked agression, that has been at the core of u.s. policy for centuries. the difference is that trump is bluffing, hoping he can live off of our dark reputation and threaten countries into compliance with his petulant demands.

too bad for him, that the u.s. has lost its magic cloak of invinciblity. through all of their military adventureism of the last 25 years, the u.s. has exposed their weapon systems as dated and ineffectual. in the past the mere threat of their use was enough to force compliance, out of fear of their wunderwaffe.

the russians have now exposed the true nature of their overpriced and outdated weaponry. this is a double blow to them, showing the world that they cannot rely on the strength of the former hegemon and even worse that their weapons are vastly overpriced, as well as ineffectual on the modern battlefield.

the parasite that caused all of this unnecessary adventureism, that spent us into a 40 trillion dollar hole, also hollowed out the military industrial complex, turning it into the full blown ponzi scheme it has now fully devolved. this is checkmate in x number of moves.

What’s DaUS?

“Climate-change-policy coordination” IS a hoax.

That’s the only part of the NSS I agree with.

Jeffrey Sachs, your Unz.com rant “Trump’s Empire of Hubris and Thuggery” is pure Trump Derangement Syndrome bile. It’s not analysis—it’s a globalist tantrum against a president finally putting America first.
You call Trump’s 2025 NSS “grandiosity” for touting U.S. supremacy in economy, tech, and military. Wrong—it’s reality after Biden’s disasters. Our economy booms, military rebuilds, and tech leads because we stopped China’s theft.
“Machiavellianism”? Trump’s demanding Latin America ditch Chinese influence and favor U.S. firms isn’t coercion—it’s protecting our hemisphere from debt traps and fentanyl. Tying aid to expelling Huawei? Smart, not bullying.
“Naïve nationalism”? Dismissing UN and Paris Accord “obstacles” is sovereignty, not isolation. Those institutions hamstring us while adversaries cheat. Trump’s realism beats your endless entanglements.
“Thuggery”? Seizing Maduro’s tanker and CIA ops against a narco-regime aren’t illegal—they’re justice against a threat flooding us with drugs and migrants. Your outrage is selective; Obama and Clinton did worse.
Quoting Thucydides to warn of America’s “hubris” fall? Bad analogy. Trump ends wars, brokers peace (Abraham Accords), and deters without overextension—unlike your neoliberal quagmires.
Sachs, your piece exposes terminal TDS. You’ve peddled failed globalism for decades; now you’re seething because Trump exposed it. America isn’t an empire under him—it’s a strong republic. The world respects winners, not whiners like you. Retire the keyboard and let patriots lead.3.4sAsk anything

MAGA…..It’s not about oil…….Trump seizes oil tanker. Lol! You can’t make this stuff up.

I would say this is a good article because it does two things quite well. It quite clearly shows the reasons why Trump’s NSS is faulty but it also shows that Sachs is a die hard globalist even to the point that he still believes in global warming. If I had to choose between the two Trump or Sachs, I think we can recover from Trump’s mistakes easier than we could recover from an over reaching global power.

Now read Hua Bin and the Debt Trap!

First a slight edit: DaUS=USRAEL……

Then a more specific reference:

However, beneath the surface of this escalating military confrontation lies an overlooked dimension: the Jewish angle in U.S.-Venezuelan relations. Israel’s strategic concerns have played a significant role in shaping American policy toward Caracas. As Venezuela has emerged as the most consistently anti-Zionist country in South America, Jewish factions within the U.S. foreign policy establishment have increasingly viewed Caracas as a threat extending well beyond traditional hemispheric security concerns.

https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2025/09/22/the-untold-jewish-role-in-venezuelas-crisis/

By emerging as South America’s most reliably anti-Zionist country, aligning with Iran, and tolerating Hezbollah’s presence, Venezuela has drawn the ire of Jewish policymakers in Washington who interpret challenges to Israel as pretexts for expanding U.S. power in defense of Zionist objectives.

Taken together, these dynamics reveal how Venezuela’s defiance is not viewed in Washington merely as a hemispheric issue, but as part of a larger ideological battle tied to Israel’s security and the global reach of Zionist influence. With Jewish interests shaping foreign policy at the highest levels, the pursuit of genuine U.S. interests becomes impossible.

Athens and Sparta were Greeks, i.e. White but China isn’t Sparta and Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya were islands of Melos and they suffered for what they must.

Your drumbeat of Israel, Israel, Israel has gotten old and tiresome that now you’re beating the drums of China as usual and probably having tired with Ukraine, have gone on to the drumbeat of Venezuela.

From where I sit, taking over Taiwan isn’t ever gonna be a cakewalk for the hubristic Chinese with America, Japan and South Korea hovering over their head as it had been when the thuggish Beijing took over helpless Xinjiang. I think the Turks and their clients Pakistan might join in to free the East Turkmenistan and India to free Tibet. China would not be able to take on all fronts’ assault in spite of the lukewarm support from Putin. Let’s just wait and see where all these things going to lead.

And some believe Sachs is an all good Jew. How gullible.

Trump IS and was the us empire, mask off.

This is what happens when you elect a ‘businessman’ con-artist to public office.

People like Trump see the world in zero-sum terms. But that’s not how the world works, particularly in the sphere of international relations.

And it would be one thing to give an actual successful businessman a crack at it, but to elect an abject failure masquerading as a success is another thing entirely.

In the final analysis, Trump is the perfect embodiment of the disgraceful, laughingstock USA. He’s the prototypical ‘ugly American’: fat, loud, obnoxious, arrogant, intellectually uncurious, never reads, no class, no style, no taste, and most of all, utterly lacking in self-awareness.

I can’t think of any other plausible reason Trump is attacking Venezuela. Trump and Rubio are servants, possibly blackmailed, by Israel.

Killing has been institutionalized in the US since its inception. Include killing of Indians, and the military interventions in Central America. Aaron Burr uniquely believed Indians should be treated as equals. Hamilton, loved by liberals, opposed slavery but called Indians savages and was the father of the eventual Indian removal. Good for Burr, he plugged Hamilton even though Hamilton supplied Burr with a pistol with faulty sights. Hamilton, who wanted a central bank. Hamilton advocated for a powerful president, akin to a monarch in authority.

Quoting Pogo, we have met the enemy and he is us.

Obama… lmao.. moron

Trump’s Empire of Hubris and Thuggery

How many American administrstions does Professor Sachs think have been free of thuggery and hubris in the post WWII era? Hmmm… just thinking.

Yep the garroted pregnant woman on the Trade Union desk 2014 shall have her spiritual revenge, Sacred War pay attention to the lyrics-the enemies of Andrei Schleifer:)

Bruce. Sachs has repeatedly explained that the actions he prescribed for Russia in 1990s, which were similar to what he prescribed for Poland, were ignored directly by decision makers above him. So while he may have been part of the team they were doing the opposite of what he wanted.

Rarely have thirty pages caused such interpretative dissension and consequence-mongering.

With regard to the Zel-baby hugging Mette of Denmark, her little country must suffer what it must.

Trump IS and was the us empire, mask off.

The Jew knows that the goyim will always fall for it. Either they never notice the switch in sides, or they think it somehow makes the guy “an expert.”

Sachs is the first type; all those 5-D Putin “alternative” shills who brag about being “former CIA officers” are the other.

“Everybody’s switching sides, fun and games, but who pulls whose chain? Who the fuck knows? Even the shooters don’t know.” — David Ferrie, Oliver Stone’s JFK

Federal Gov‘t will have an insolvency Crisis in 2027. thats now baked in the cake.

You see, a pimp’s love is very different from that of a square.

I think the people of Melos should have shelved their absurd arrogance and negotiated with Athens. No one will come and save those criminal Venezuelan drug dealers.

Israeli publication, Israel Hayom, says it was ISRAEL that pushed Trump to bring about regime change in Venezuela.

So, while the USG is fighting everlasting wars for Israel…

…CHINA is forging ahead, beating every country, incl. the US, in every possible sphere.

http://biblicisminstitute.wordpress.com/2014/08/05/israel-the-scourge-of-empires/

So, Americans, keep fighting the world for Israel and see where that gets you.

I’m a fan of Mr. Sachs, so my criticisms of his work tend to focus on the implicit assumptions woven into his talks and interviews and writings rather than with his overall quite informed and intelligent critiques of US policy.

So that said, look at this paragraph from Sachs’ article:

“Following the American War of Independence, thirteen newly sovereign states soon adopted a constitution to pool key powers—over taxation, defense, and diplomacy—not to weaken the states’ sovereignty, but to secure it by creating the US Federal Government. The post-WWII foreign policy of the United States government did the same through the UN, the Bretton Woods institutions, the World Trade Organization, and arms-control agreements.”

Obviously the plan among the secretive plutocrats who hid out writing the constitution was precisely to weaken state sovereignty. Why pretend otherwise? The statesmen arguing in the Federalist Papers were more honest than Mr. Sachs. They stated clearly that the ‘overall public good’ was served by limiting or de facto eliminating, States’ sovereignty and transferring that sovereignty to the Federal Govt.

And post WWII, immediately, the foreign policy of the USA was not about “securing” the sovereignty of various govt’s around the world. Sachs knows this. Why the subterfuge? Occupying Germany and Japan did not ‘secure’ their sovereignty. Nor did overthrowing the elected leader of Iran via a USA/UK coup d’état. Etc Etc. Why does Sachs spin this fake tale of the USA wanting to ‘secure’ other countries’ sovereignty ‘in the past’ when he knows that’s Fake History? Odd, in my opinion.

The Missing Pillar: Law, Reciprocity, and Decency

Perhaps the deepest flaw of the NSS is what it omits: a commitment to international law, reciprocity, and basic decency as foundations of American security.

Agreed that one has to view everything that comes out of the US government through a Zionist lens. From that point of view the NSS normalizes what Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank – which may in fact be the whole idea. Might = Right. The US beats up the Venezuelans and steals their oil. Israel beats up the Palestinians and steals their land and gas fields.

treating other nations as instruments to be manipulated for American advantage.

this is not Machiavellian. This is how nations should behave. They should act in their own interest, and to the benefit of their own citizens. Within reason, of course, and bound by human decency.

But it’s indecent for nations to behave otherwise.

You can see how easily Mr Sachs, who had no shame representing the monied interests of the World Bank, makes humanitarian arguments to prevent America becoming a normal nation again.

Depression, War, Fiscal folly , 50 million illegals plus 30 million niggers/and 40 million Beaners who will mau-mau the Whites Folks when the Free Money runs out.

What are folks complaining about, don’t we want a revolution? Don’t we want the Uni Party to collapse on the Jews who run the fuckin place?

And .. Today…..TRumpstein, Tomorrow the Reckoning long overdue.

I remember Nixon and his Plumbers who broke into the wrong houses and scared the bejesus out of innocents. That is when I bought my first .357. Such Innocent Times. Nixon, the last President Jew Hater.

No one has ever viewed USA as Athens
In no respect

‘Thirteen newly sovereign states soon adopted a constitution to pool key powers—over taxation, defense, and diplomacy—not to weaken the states’ sovereignty, but to secure it [sic] by creating the US Federal Government.’ — Dr Jeffrey Sachs

Dude, share the blotter acid. As we know today, the constitution enabled the complete obliteration of state sovereignty, to the point that the US fedgov now dictates the DUI threshold, READ-ID drivers licenses, special education down to the local level through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and on and on.

Mercifully, despite his excursion today into hallucinatory inversion of reality, Dr Sachs has spared us his customary lecture on the mythical ‘two state solution’ for Palestinian sovereignty, which (though it never will happen) would work about as well as the US constitution did to preserve state sovereignty.

Coming from a group of Economists-thugs who enabled the plundering of the collapsed Post-Soviet Russian Economy until Putin gave the Oligarchs their ultimatums which prompted many to leave and had some looters of Lukoil face the Criminal Courts…

…is priceless.

Annnd No – BoneSpurs is just a Meat Puppet of the Adelson/AIPAC/Likudnik Factions.

Commies in Canada should take note: this kind of nonsense in America’s back yard is just the excuse they need to send troops.

Best just to stay away from the communism plague altogether.

Good point. I agree w/Sachs that the US is probably ill advised to do what it is doing, at least the way that it is, in Venezuela. I also agree with his many critiques of US policy w/Ukraine.

That said, he is at his core an economistic liberal, and genuinely believes that commerce and code solve everything. Hence, his naive appeals to international law, hence his tendency to see each and every appearance of nationalism as “Machiavellian.”

He probably still believes that Russia would have been better off under the oligarchs.

It’s odd how Jeffrey Sacks criticizes Trumps thuggery and brazen thievery when he himself was part of Russia’s disembowelment back in 1991 sending millions of Russians into abject poverty. Certainly people do not change that much over the years.

Smart imperialism looks like George Soros and Barack Obama.

I thought one of the pro-Trump talking points was that Obama got involved in a lot of wars, whereas Trump got involved in none.
As for George Soros, his “soft” imperialism doctrine went only as far as his ability to operate in a country allowed it. When the Ukraine war broke out, he was an enthusiastic supporter of it. As you probably know, he was banned from operating in Russia.
For Sachs, America is Athens and China is Sparta. Since Sparta was a fully militarized State, and he’s trying to discourage the U.S. from challenging China, I wonder whether the comparison isn’t an own goal.

A leopard can’t change its spots.

A former Congressman wrote a book “The 1600 Killers”. Once elected to the White House at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, every President is convinced they have to kill someone.

It is not only oil; Jews are another reason behind the ongoing US terror for regime change in Venezuela. The reason the U.S. is addicted to war is because the US is controlled by Jews who have violence as part of their DNA. Jews want to gain control of Venezuela’s finances, and Trump is their obedient attack dog.

It is now a great opportunity for the BRICS in Venezuela to bog the U.S down in an adventure on the U.S own doorstep.

The South American’s have to send Uncle Sam back home with a “bloody nose” so they will think twice about coming south again.

This is South America’s turn to front up…I couldn’t understand why they never pooled their resources against the U.S in other theatres around the world…there is no doubt that the U.S is still determined on world domination… first Russia…then the middle-east and Iran now it’s South America’s turn… oh aren’t they the pillars of BRICS? Without these weaklings of the collective the U.S only has China to go.

So the gauntlet is thrown at Chinese feet…is China going to bite? No not so far from their shores… supplying South America with the means to resist is sensible but there won’t be any major assets committed… they’re need for war in the Pacific.

Me: You can pretend to laugh now. 🕶�

• LOL: meamjojo

Just call me Dr. Pavlov.

One post, and the Ziotard drools. 🕶�

The faux-west globalists, as populated by two inter-dependent poles; – the western (and semi-western) billionaires on the one hand, and then on the other hand, the top leaders within each of the several technocratic civilizational and cultural silos of regulation/deregulation and control/decontrol (these silos include the politicos, the Academy, finance, the various healthcare industries, media and entertainment, and what I guess I would call the religiosity-grifter-racket that comes in a huge array of flavors, …. as all such silos exist and operate within western, and increasingly even semi-western, nations).

Those at the reins of the top leadership positions within the mentioned civilizational and cultural silos, though not billionaires themselves, seem to so aspire (personas attracted to real power, of which ‘billions’ offers just that). Thus a corruptive ‘hand-washing’ among the two poles, results, around special-elite-status and such, around the themes of regulation/deregulation and control/decontrol, within each silo, to suit the join effort: More control. Each pole of these faux-west globalists highly covet more control. This is not a new thing. It is the age-old civilizational and cultural story. In past innings, it was ‘king’ and ‘courtiers and lords’ for example.

What is different this time is the global nature of the aspirations, and as well the astounding amount of power-inducing tech in the pipeline, right now, that will end up in the hands of the few (faux-west elitist globalists), due to the human nature issues as outlined here, which this time is likely to lead to an actual two-tier humanity, as actually taking this time. ‘Two tier humanity’ is the resultant goal of aspiration of these elitists, because the greed for much more power (among technocratic silo leaderships) and the fear of losing heady billionairist power (among the billionaires themselves) forces that mindset, …. which is not hard to glean these mindset facts, as that is precisely what always actually happens within elite circle interfacing with non-elites, …. the elites do in fact succeed in creating at least the temporary trappings of a two-tier humanity around themselves, but these massive ‘perks’ borne of unfair advantage mostly, have never become permanent (at least as far as we know, without invoking some deep rather occult conspiracy theories around the ‘the Rothschild clan’ or something), because the Darwinian environment has always forced genotype churn among elites/non-elites, …. the existing elites, whatever the genotypic tendencies may be, over time tend to just trade places with newly emerging elites of at least somewhat differing genotype lines.

IsntReal hasn’t lived up to the original UN conditions for statehood for almost 80 years.

But there they squat; committing the very war crimes they cry so much about having allegedly been done to them.

So don’t even pretend the UN is any more relevant than the League of Nations.

We can’t be stopped!

Famous last words.

The only thing your news indicates is Israel’s desperation.

Same thing with its student deportation, university divestment, lawfare, media censorship, and intimidation schemes — to name but a few.

Because you people can’t win on the intellectual strength of your position, you resort to mob tactics. Take that sniveling weasel Ben Shapiro, for example… He’s supposed to represent one of the best and brightest Jewish minds of his generation, yet he absolutely refuses to debate anyone on the topic of Israel but unknown undergraduates. Norman Finkelstein is 72, he’s regularly challenged Shapiro to debate, and Shapiro consistently cowers out.

Were Israel’s position truly popular, it wouldn’t need to threaten the world in the manner it does. It enjoyed a groundswell of support following October 7, 2023, support it has largely squandered away as a result of its ensuing genocidal rampage and thuggish disposition against anyone who offers even a tepid critique of it.

And now?

Israel’s approval numbers have reached historic lows.

AIPAC floundered in the last election cycle.

Team MAGA is tearing in half.

Your support base is rapidly crumbling, which, let’s be honest, is yet another reason for your desperation.

I’d tell you to enjoy your time while it lasts, but I don’t think you would.

It’s coming to a close, which explains your entire shtick in the first place: grasping at the last straws you can reach as the leaden heft of your ego draws you further underwater.

You can pretend to laugh now. 🕶�

You’re all pushing at water. We can’t be stopped!

Speaking of the UN, it has been put on notice that changes are coming, changes that they aren’t going to be happy with. Best that they don’t stir up more trouble for themselves!

US Signals Intent to Cut UN Salaries
By Brett D. Schaefer
November 13, 2025

Earlier this week, the United States Representative for UN Management and Reform, Ambassador Jeff Bartos, spoke bluntly at the meeting on the “UN Common System� on the need to address unsustainable levels of compensation in the UN system.

The UN Common System is a network of 30 specialized agencies, funds, programs, and other entities affiliated with the United Nations that apply the salaries, benefits, and allowances determined by the International Civil Service Commission based on guidance from the UN General Assembly.

As noted by Amb. Bartos:

We must urgently confront the fact that the UN is currently spending an unsustainable $16 billion a year on staff compensation across the common system…

UN staff currently out-earn their civil service counterparts in every Member State, including the United States, by wide margins on base salary alone.

And unlike their civil service counterparts, many UN staff also receive costly dependency allowances, education grants for children, and duplicative field allowances. Together with rising health insurance costs, these are the cost drivers that the General Assembly must address now.

You don’t know what true peace is. Peace is the sum of all rights in law. Continuity of obligations must be restored in both belligerent parties. That means Israel’s Apartheid regime cannot discriminate. Which ends the Jewish state.

Russia’s draft supersedes this abortion because it conforms with Article 51. Any contribution to a peacekeeping force must be at the UNSC’s disposal. Not a Savile bumboy like Tony Blair.

Israel might just get away with this travesty unless the world speaks up with urgency & indignation.

Lol

Only problem is, all the nations of ‘the world’ are occupied by Jewish owned/managed central banks, which is the actual base/power behind their respective governments, thus they will do nothing against Israeli interests.. The world is about 80 years too late, for the only chance the Palestinians had, was via the Third Reich & a Nazi Germany victory.

“The removal of the so-called Jewish National Home, & freeing all Arab lands from oppression & the exploitation of the Western powers is an unalterable part of the policy of the Greater German Reich.” –von Ribbentrop, 1943

now you know

I believe its time to act… another story about the Trump regime and what they’re up to isn’t going to change the dynamics.

The facts of an evil agenda afoot is obvious and trying to wake up all the Zombies isn’t necessary… enough are awake now to make a formidable force against this agenda…for goodness sake if Trump can get into power anyone can!

It’s time to act locally by the formation of a political alternative to the status quo…first you create a force to match the force in control then you delegitimized the evil by not voting in their elections.

It’s up to those leaders who have awoken a large swathe of humans to get it rolling otherwise why did they bother to awake people?
