In this compelling discussion on the Glenn Diesen show, Professor Jeffrey Sachs provides an incisive analysis of the recent U.S. military actions against Venezuela, highlighting the implications of such interventions on international law and global stability. Sachs argues that these actions are not isolated incidents but part of a broader pattern of aggressive U.S. foreign policy that disregards constitutional order and international norms.
Glenn Diesen is a professor of Russian international affairs, with focus on geoeconomics, conservatism and the Greater Eurasia Initiative.
Following are some of the the key highlights of this discussion. While much of it has already been said, it must be repeated consistently until it is covered by the mainstream media.
1. “This is a blatantly illegal act… a long line of blatantly illegal American actions.”
2. “We are in an order led by a military state. We do not obey the US Constitution.”
3. “What happens when there’s a thuggish rule remains to be seen, but in my view, this makes the world extraordinarily dangerous.”
4. “The idea that democracy is peace is a fairy tale that was disproved 2,300 years ago.”
5. “This is a project of the United States… the world’s largest reserves of oil in the whole world.”
6. “If you think about Roman history going from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire, we’re somewhere into the reign of Tiberius now.”
7. “This kind of thuggery has a contagion effect… complete lawlessness by the United States does not lead to good results.”
8. “The UN is in the same situation today as the League of Nations was in its defunct period in the late 1930s and early 1940s.”
9. “We should understand how U.S. foreign policy operates… it’s been a long-term project.”
10. “This is extraordinarily dangerous to have an unhinged, undisciplined bully in the presidency.”
