Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : Why Iran Can't Trust TrumpSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

So far, the US-Iran agreement has given both sides the cover to declare victory while somehow satisfying nobody. The inclusion of Israel and Hezbollah in the agreement - surely at Iran's insistence - means it will also be in constant danger of collapse. But with the US and Iran now committed to ending the war, Uncensored looks at the big picture. What has been achieved, if anything? And how will it reshape the region?

Ein Standpunkt von Hans-Jürgen Geese.Professor Jeffrey Sachs ist ein weltweit bekannter amerikanischer Ökonom, der sich insbesondere als Experte für nachhaltige Ökonomien und Armutsbekämpfung einen Namen gemacht hat. Er war und ist Berater einer Reihe von Regierungen. Professor Sachs ist bekennender Jude, der die Politik der Regierung in Israel scharf verurteilt.Durch sein Eintreten für den Frieden wurde er zu einem der weltweit bekanntesten Kritiker der momentanen Kriegspolitik in Europa und im Nahen Osten, insbesondere des aggressiven Vorgehens der U.S. Regierung.Hier ist eine leicht verkürzte Wiedergabe des von mir aus dem Englischen übersetzten Briefes, den Professor Sachs kürzlich an Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz sandte. Dieser offene Brief wurde von den deutschen Medien ignoriert, er verdient aber meiner Ansicht nach weite Aufmerksamkeit in der Bundesrepublik, da er überzeugend die ganze Entwicklungsgeschichte des Krieges in der Ukraine im Detail aufzeigt.Nachdem Sie diesen Brief gelesen haben, können Sie nicht mehr behaupten: „Ich habe es nicht gewusst.“„Bundeskanzler Merz,in meinem Brief an Sie vor einem halben Jahr drängte ich darauf, dass Deutschland diplomatische Aktivitäten mit Russland beginnt, anstatt die Normalisierung des Krieges weiterzuführen. Jetzt, 6 Monate später, hat sich die Situation dramatisch verschlechtert. Europa und Russland gleiten in einen offenen Krieg. Und in diesem Trend, Herr Bundeskanzler, ist Ihre Verantwortung einzigartig. Keine europäische Führungspersönlichkeit – weder in Paris noch in Warschau noch in Rom – hat den gleichen Einfluss, den Sie besitzen oder hat die Macht, die Sie persönlich innehaben, um den Verlauf dieser Katastrophe zu unterbrechen. Werden Sie sich für den Frieden einsetzen?Im Januar 2026 haben Sie sich selbst, mit Premierministerin Meloni und Präsident Macron, dafür stark gemacht, wieder Beziehungen mit Russland aufzunehmen. Sie beschrieben Russland als „ein europäisches Land“. Aber Sie haben diese Diplomatie dann doch nicht begonnen. Da es um die Zukunft Europas geht, ist Ihr Verhalten eine ungeheuerliche Verweigerung von Führung. Haben Sie in Ihrer Zeit als Kanzler auch nur einen einzigen Versuch unternommen, mit Präsident Putin in einen Dialog zu treten? Oder hat Ihr Außenminister auch nur einen einzigen Versuch unternommen, mit Außenminister Lavrov in einen wirklichen Dialog zu treten? Soweit der Öffentlichkeit bekannt ist die Antwort nein. Nicht ein einziges Mal. Und nicht, weil die Dringlichkeit von Ihnen nicht erkannt wurde.Die vergangenen Tage haben eine gefährliche Beschleunigung der Ereignisse herbeigeführt, die jeden in Europa aufrütteln sollte. Beide Hauptstädte sind jetzt unter ständigem Angriff. Die ukrainischen Langstreckendrohnen haben Moskau getroffen, einschließlich ziviler Residenzen. Der Beschuss von Kiew durch Russische Raketen und Drohnen hat sich intensiviert. Ukrainische Drohnen haben den Luftraum der baltischen Staaten überquert, wodurch die Gefahr aufgekommen ist, dass Europa direkt in diesen Krieg verwickelt wird. Ein grauenvoller Angriff auf eine Schule in Lugansk hat noch weiter die ohnehin dürftige Zurückhaltung aufgelöst, die bisher bestand. Und am 25. Mai, auf Anweisung von Präsident Putin, informierte Außenminister Lavrov offiziell den amerikanischen Außenminister, dass die russischen Streitkräfte von nun an „systematische, ständige Angriffe“ auf Einrichtungen und Entscheidungszentren in Kiew durchführen werden. Das russische Außenministerium riet, dass die Vereinigten Staaten und andere Länder „die Evakuierung ihres diplomatischen Personals und anderer Bürger aus der Hauptstadt der Ukraine sicherstellen.“ Diese Mitteilung ist die Ankündigung einer verschärften Eskalation. Diplomatie ist dringender denn je gefordert....http://www.apolut.net/brief-an-den-bundeskanzler-von-hans-jurgen-geese/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send us Fan MailJoin Professor Jeffrey Sachs and tax policy expert Professor Dorothy A. Brown for a thought-provoking discussion of her books, The Whiteness of Wealth and Getting to Reparations. Drawing on decades of research, Brown examines how seemingly race-neutral tax policies have contributed to widening racial wealth disparities in the United States and explores what meaningful economic repair could look like in practice.Together, they discuss how the U.S. tax system has historically advantaged white households while limiting wealth-building opportunities for Black Americans. The conversation explores the hidden ways tax policy shapes homeownership, education, employment, and intergenerational wealth, as well as the broader historical forces that continue to influence economic inequality today. Brown also outlines her vision for reparations, arguing that confronting the legacy of slavery and systemic discrimination is essential to building a more equitable society.This episode offers listeners a deeper understanding of the intersection of race, public policy, and economic justice. It challenges conventional assumptions about fairness in the tax code and invites a broader conversation about how societies can address historical harms while creating more inclusive pathways to opportunity and prosperity. The Book Club with Jeffrey Sachs is brought to you by the SDG Academy, the flagship education initiative of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

On June 5, JWE president Helena Cobban sat down with the renowned economist and UN advisor Prof. Jeffrey Sachs to assess the impact of the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, and the long-running Israeli genocide in Gaza on global governance and the global economy. In this convo Sachs was forthright in his denunciation of the stupidity of the Trump-Netanyahu decision to launch the war against Iran. He noted that while the war and the naval blockade that Washington set up around Iran's ports was inflicting mounting economic costs on most of the peoples of the world, a few bodies have been making super-profits off the war's continuation, including big U.S. oil companies and military production entities across the U.S. and Israel. He also shared several crucial observations about the currently poor state of the UN's effectiveness and the degree to which the body is hobbled by the actions of the U.S. president (as well as by Israel.)Listen to the whole of this super-informative conversation! It is the latest episode in Just World Ed's continuing series on the Iran Crisis.

Send us Fan MailJoin Professor Jeffrey Sachs and historian Professor Rana Mitter, for a compelling discussion of his book Forgotten Ally: China's World War II, 1937–1945. Drawing on extensive archival research and long-overlooked sources, Mitter brings to light China's central, and often underappreciated, role in the global fight against Imperial Japan during World War II.Together, they explore how China's prolonged resistance tied down vast numbers of Japanese troops, shaping the broader trajectory of the war in Asia and beyond. They examine the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek, the fragile alliances between Nationalists and Communists, and the immense human cost borne by Chinese civilians. The conversation also addresses how China's wartime experience influenced its postwar political order and its place in the emerging international system.This episode offers listeners a powerful reframing of World War II, challenging Eurocentric narratives and highlighting the global dimensions of the conflict. It is a story of resilience, sacrifice, and strategic complexity, one that continues to shape how we understand China's role in the world today and the enduring legacy of a “forgotten ally.”The Book Club with Jeffrey Sachs is brought to you by the SDG Academy, the flagship education initiative of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

Is the American Empire finally crumbling? In this episode, I analyze the mounting evidence that the U.S. is facing a pivotal moment of decline—drawing on insights from experts like Douglas Macgregor, Michael Hudson, Jeffrey Sachs, and Alfred McCoy. From the strategic failure of the Iran War and the global gold exodus to the collapsing petrodollar and striking historical parallels with the 1956 Suez Crisis, we break down why the era of U.S. hegemony may be ending. We also expose RFK Jr.'s lies about prescription drug prices, reveal what the World Economic Forum quietly admits about inequality, and explain why Trump's "micro-military disasters" have only accelerated the empire's unraveling toward a multipolar world.

Today's episode covers rising regional tensions impacting tech infrastructure in the UAE, Khalaf Al Habtoor's response to Jeffrey Sachs' warning on Dubai, and growing backlash over war-related betting platforms like Polymarket.

The Pentagon is currently preparing plans for a weeks-long ground operation in Iran, including a raid on Kharg Island—where 90% of Iran's crude oil exports are processed—despite military experts warning that 50,000 troops are nowhere near enough for a decisive victory in a country of 93 million people with rugged terrain and a formidable military.  Jimmy notes that even experts admit any ground incursion would lead to heavy casualties, political backlash, and prolonged conflict, while Iran has been preparing for this invasion for decades. He points out that Iran is already winning the war: it has seized control of the Strait of Hormuz, is charging $2 million tolls per tanker, and has achieved its long-sought goal of getting U.S. oil sanctions lifted—something diplomacy could never accomplish. He warns that if the U.S. attacks Kharg Island, Iran will retaliate by destroying oil infrastructure across the Gulf States, triggering a global depression and food crisis. Plus segments on Marco Rubio's admission that Iran will control the Strait of Hormuz after the war ends, reports emerging that the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk doesn't match the gun allegedly used by Tyler Robinson, and the Israeli army sitting out a ground invasion of Iran. Also featuring Jeffrey Sachs, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from JD Vance!

Send a textA single stretch of water is now dictating the mood of global markets and the direction of a widening war. We dig into the Strait of Hormuz crisis and President Trump's whiplash messaging: demanding other countries step in, hinting the U.S. “maybe shouldn't be there,” and floating coalition talk that even close allies appear unwilling to join. When the world's energy chokepoint becomes a battlefield problem, “keep it open” stops sounding like a slogan and starts looking like an escalation ladder.From there, we follow the money trail and the lived reality. Oil hovering near $100 a barrel can be a win for producers while still being brutal for families facing higher gas prices, costlier shipping, and travel disruptions. We talk through how tanker insurance, commercial routing, jet fuel, and supply chain shock can turn a regional conflict into global economic pressure. We also examine why escorting ships isn't a clean fix, why mines and coastal missile batteries change the math, and why any serious attempt to “secure” the strait can pull the U.S. toward ground-force commitments that nobody wants to own publicly.We also step back into the information war. A sharp media segment on JD Vance's ideological trajectory raises questions about power, donors, and how leaders sell hardline policy to a mass audience. Then we evaluate the international law argument featured on Democracy Now with economist Jeffrey Sachs, who calls the U.S.-Israel attack a blatant UN Charter violation and warns of catastrophic blowback. The throughline is credibility: with allies balking, markets jittery, and nuclear claims contested, the hardest part isn't starting a war. It's finding an off-ramp.Subscribe for more deep coverage, share this with a friend, and leave a review with your take: what's the first realistic step toward de-escalation? Support the show

Send a textJoin Professor Jeffrey Sachs for a compelling conversation on Martyrs to the Unspeakable: The Assassinations of JFK, Malcolm, Martin, and RFK by James W. Douglass. In this sweeping work, Douglass reexamines the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy, arguing that these four leaders were killed not by isolated actors, but within a deeper context of national security power and Cold War politics.Drawing on extensive documentary evidence, witness testimony, and declassified records, Douglass challenges the official lone-gunman narratives and situates each assassination within a broader struggle between movements for peace and justice and entrenched systems of violence. At the heart of the book is the concept of the “Unspeakable,” a term Douglass uses to describe the hidden structures of power capable of silencing transformative leadership.Together, they explore how each of these figures, in different ways, broke with prevailing orthodoxies, opposing nuclear brinkmanship, militarism, racism, and war, and how their evolving commitments to peace may have placed them in direct conflict with powerful institutions. This episode invites listeners into a profound reconsideration of one of the most turbulent eras in American history. It is a story of conscience and consequence and of how the unresolved traumas of the 1960s continue to echo in political life today.Footnotes:Books by James W.

The newly released Epstein-related documents are filled with unquestionably horrible allegations, including sworn statements accusing powerful figures of sexual abuse, blackmail, and involvement in trafficking networks, yet many files remain hidden — no doubt to protect elites. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger reference Elon Musk's claim that Trump appears in the Epstein files and speculate that geopolitical pressure, particularly involving Israel and major donors, explains why full disclosure has not occurred.  Throughout, the discussion repeatedly cites graphic allegations from affidavits and complaints, while emphasizing that only a fraction of the total documents have been released and that no clients have been prosecuted. The broader theme is systemic impunity, media silence, and the use of kompromat to control U.S. political leadership. Plus segments on the media commentators whose dismissal of the Epstein files are looking the worst today, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's surprising admission about the Iran protests and why even after the latest release, the Epstein files remain a huge coverup protecting powerful interests.
