Sachs is a powerhouse on US foreign policy and heads Columbia's Ctr for Sustainable Development. His reaction to Putin recently putting forth a proposal to immediately end the war and sit down at the negotiating table:
Putin's proposal is a very good start.
Is it 100% ok? Of course not...but it's a reasonable place to start and an astute good-faith effort for both sides to negotiate an end to this madness.
Predicably the US and Nato told him to go f-ck himself. We refuse to sit down and talk. We'd rather keep shipping weapons and let the meat grinder continue.
Our government is beyond ridiculous. Do I find this offensive? No, that word isn't strong enough.
We have no end game or plan other than indefinitely fighting a war we can't win.
Suggest you skip ahead to 2 mins 20 secs in and catch about 10 mins.
