'All Hell Will Break Loose': Jeffrey Sachs' Stunning Warning & Full Geopolitical Analysis Oct 15, 2026 #nuclearwar #geopolitics #uschina (Contd) United States will find out that being 4% of the world population is just 4%.
30:22
It's not enough to rule the world. It the US will have to learn to be cooperative and will have to learn that
30:30
state craft is more than overthrowing governments. But and here I will come to the point
30:36
about current politics. The US still does not understand this
30:42
till today. And the wars that we see and the crisis that we see are still crises
30:51
of the old imperial mentality. So the war in Ukraine
30:58
is a war that the US caused, not a war that Putin caused, but a war
31:04
that the US caused by expanding the military alliance NATO eastward and
31:13
trying to set up a military base or bases in Ukraine and in the South
31:21
Caucuses, especially the country of Georgia and
31:27
the Russian government said, "No, you can't have military bases on our border. We don't accept that. That's that's a
31:33
real security threat for us." And the American position was, "It's none of your business, Russia, what we do. If
31:41
Ukraine says yes, we're going to put our missiles next to you." And President
31:46
Putin said, "No, you're not. That's dangerous for us." And the United States
31:52
said it's none of your business. And so this is the essence of the Ukraine
31:59
conflict, which is that the US said we can expand our military reach anywhere.
32:07
The Russians said not on our border and it finally came to war. Before it came
32:13
to war, the government in Ukraine in n in 2010 was very clever. It said, "We
32:20
want neutrality." Huh? Well, read Thusidities. Uh, the Americans did not
32:26
accept Ukraine's call for neutrality. What did the United States do to the
32:31
president who wanted neutrality? It overthrew that president in February
32:37
2014. So, the US made a coup together with Ukrainian forces. The US role was quite
32:46
obvious though it was denied. So we can call it a covert regime change
32:52
operation. I happen to have been told by some of the participants just how much the US
32:59
played a role. And at a crucial moment, a phone call by the US diplomat
33:07
Victoria Nuland was intercepted by the Russians and posted online and that call
33:15
said the next government should be so and so which was the next government actually. So the US chose the next
33:21
government and where is Victoria Nuland today? She is my colleague at Columbia
33:28
University. So this is the route to success. Make a coup and then you get to
33:33
be a Colombia professor. Uh so this is uh the Ukraine conflict. President Trump
33:41
came into office saying I want to stop this war because it's useless and the
33:47
Russians are winning on the battlefield. But interestingly, President Trump does
33:53
not have the power or the logic to stop
33:59
the war because he can't say publicly the obvious. He can't say to the
34:06
American people, NATO will not expand. If he says that, he's declared, "You're
34:13
a weakling. You're a traitor. You're making a concession to President Putin. You're giving up. you're uh on the
34:20
payroll of the Russians. And so the imperial logic still prevails even if
34:28
the individual as president might want to do something different. Of course,
34:34
none of us can figure out Donald Trump's mentality, not even Donald Trump. So, we don't know
34:41
what he really truly thinks, but what I know is that he seems to want to end the
34:48
Ukraine war, but does not have the political strength and the individual
34:53
leadership to end it because all around him is the militaryindustrial complex
34:59
that says the US can go where it wants.
Then comes the Middle East conflict. second conflict. This is also an
35:11
imperial conflict. It started, of course, as so many conflicts do with the
35:17
British. And the conflict with Ukraine, by the way, started with the British because in 1853,
35:24
Britain went to war against Russia for exactly the same reason that the United States went to war against Russia in
35:31
2014. Britain said, "We need to weaken Russia in 1853." So the war in Ukraine
35:40
is like the 19th century Crimean War. Almost the same actors, but the United
35:47
States wasn't involved in the first one, but Britain was involved in both of them. When it comes to the Middle East,
35:53
this is also a crisis made by Britain. uh and it comes from World War I as you
36:01
know when Ottoman Empire uh which ruled the Middle East was defeated by the
36:10
Allied powers the US, France and Britain and Britain was the dominant imperial
36:17
power of the age especially in the Middle East. It ruled over Egypt. It
36:23
ruled over Aiden which is Yemen today
36:28
because this was the route to Britain's empire in India the seaw route and so
36:33
Britain was very careful to control the whole sealane from the Mediterranean to
36:40
India and India was the crown jewel of the British Empire. So at the end of
36:45
World War I when the Turkish Empire was defeated, Britain aimed to control all
36:52
of this territory. And it made many promises and many
36:58
contradictory promises to other powers. Britain told the Arabs, "You will
37:03
control this region." Britain told the French, "You will control this region."
37:08
Britain told the Jews, "You will control this region." uh and of course Britain
37:15
ultimately wanted to control the region. So this was typical British imperial
37:21
deceit or duplicity. But one of the outcomes was the Balffor
37:28
declaration which in which Britain called for the establishment of a Jewish
37:35
homeland in what was a province of the Ottoman
37:40
Empire and which was became known as Palestine after World War I which was
37:47
the ancient Roman name uh that was used for this territory also. So Britain took
37:53
over Palestine under the League of Nations and it said that this would be a
37:59
Jewish homeland. This is a very complicated weird story because the
38:06
Jewish faith had his had its uh main
38:12
temple in this place 2,000 years earlier, but it had been banished from
38:20
this place by the Roman Empire in the year 135 AD. And now it was recreating
38:29
this ancient state. The only problem was that 95% of the population was Arabs who
38:36
did not want a Jewish homeland in this territory. But Britain used its imperial
38:43
power to force the [clears throat] inmigration of people of Jewish religion, especially
38:51
from Eastern Europe, to claim a part of
38:56
uh British controlled Palestine. And
39:01
a very long story that has led to a hundred years of crisis because there
39:07
was a local population. the local population resisted the incoming uh of
39:14
migrants from Europe especially and then after
39:20
uh the state of Israel was established from other regions of the world including the Middle East and South Asia
39:26
and the mentality of the British of of the uh Jewish state which was
39:34
established in 1948 by the United Nations was Our security depends on
39:41
having no Arab state next to us that opposes us.
39:48
And so the idea of sharing the land, which was a UN idea, was
39:55
actually rejected by both sides in a way. The Arabs said, "We're the majority. We should rule." And the Jews
40:02
said, "We're the minority. We need to dominate because otherwise we won't be safe." And so this has led from 1948
40:11
until today to an unresolved war. But remember it this was a state
created by the British Empire and now backed by the US Empire. So, Israel
40:26
could not survive without the US being the imperial power
40:32
that enforces Israel's uh power in the region because Israel is
40:38
just 8 million people. The Arab world is about 400 million people and uh Israel
40:45
therefore depends on its security entirely on the United States.
40:50
The United States has seen this as an imperial project that's good for the United States because if the US
40:59
has control over the Middle East through Israel, well, that gives the US control
41:05
effectively militarily in the region. So, the US has backed Israel for many
41:12
decades during this period. It's a very dangerous ongoing conflict.
41:20
because it is very unjust and Israel needs to use more and more
41:27
force in order to repress the aspirations of the Palestinian people.
41:34
And the more force that Israel uses, the more resistance there is. And we've
41:40
reached a point of violence that is unprecedented in modern times. Israel is committing a
41:46
genocide in Gaza right now, which is one part of the Palestinian lands. And every
41:53
day they're slaughtering tens or hundreds of innocent people with open
41:59
fire. And today there was another massacre. People came for food and they
42:05
were just shot by the Israeli armed forces.
42:11
Iran, as you know, which is a long empire that has 5,000 years of history,
42:19
backed the Palestinian cause, and it supported resistance to Israel,
42:27
both the Hamas and Hezbollah, two groups, and in Yemen also the Houthi uh
42:35
militants. So, Israel has always had the idea we need to topple the
42:43
Iranian regime. Instead of saying we need to settle the Palestinian crisis by giving a state of
42:51
Palestine next door to a state of Israel, Israel has said we need to overthrow the
42:57
Iranian government so that they don't bother us. And Israel actually made a
43:04
long list of governments that it wanted overthrown by the United States because
43:09
those governments were resisting Israel's attempt to control the region.
43:15
And the list actually was made, literally made, we want seven
43:20
governments overthrown. And that list was unveiled in 2001
43:27
uh in a and one of our generals, General Wesley Clark, talked about this in an
43:33
amazing set of interviews. And the seven countries are Lebanon,
43:39
Syria, Iraq, Iran, Somalia,
43:45
Sudan, and Libya. So, seven countries that were supporting
43:52
the Palestinian cause and the Israeli government said to the Americans, "You
43:57
overthrow those seven governments." Well, it's not so easy. Those turned
44:03
into seven major wars. We had the war in Lebanon for many, many years. We had a
44:10
15-year war in Syria, which is still going on because the US tried to over or
44:16
did overthrow the Syrian government. We had the US invasion of Iraq in March
44:23
2003. We had the US bombing of Libya in 2011,
44:31
which created a civil war in Libya. We had the US supporting an insurgency in
44:38
Sudan to break Sudan into two countries, Sudan and South Sudan, both of which are
44:44
in civil war now. And we have had the US supporting interventions in Somalia,
44:52
which is an ongoing battleground as well. So the US, the one that was
44:58
missing up until two weeks ago or up until last month was Iran.
45:04
And the Israeli government was always begging the US, "Bomb Iran, bomb Iran,
bomb Iran." And finally, Trump, who's again not very smart,
45:18
not very effective, uh not very capable of resisting uh
45:23
these kinds of demands, said, "Okay, we'll bomb Iran."
45:29
And the war, such as it was, lasted 12 days. Israel went in and assassinated
45:37
dozens of people through its Mossad, the secret service or the um spy agency, but
45:46
basically it's an assassination unit. And the idea was to create a regime
45:51
change, but it failed. The government is intact. Uh and um the situation is more
45:59
dangerous than ever because Iran is a country of a 100 million people almost.
46:04
It's a major country. It has big missile systems. It has a real military capacity
46:11
and it has an alliance with Russia and it has friendship with other nuclear
46:17
powers like Pakistan. So even if it doesn't have its own nuclear weapons, maybe Pakistan will
46:23
give it nuclear weapons. Maybe Pakistan would defend Iran if there was a full-fledged war with Israel. So this is
46:32
the second region where imperial mentality lasts until today. The US is
46:39
unwilling to compromise on the imperial prerogatives.
46:45
So the final uh point that I want to raise and then close is the US China
46:51
confrontation and how dangerous it is. As I said, the
46:58
US got along well with China from the 1970s
47:04
to around 2010 in my estimation because China was viewed by America as poor.
47:13
lots of villages that grew rice. You could make our components for our
47:19
products, make our smartphones, uh, and so forth. But China wasn't a
47:26
threat. And it was a good counterweight to the Soviet Union or to Russia. That
47:33
was the attitude. Not too much more. So, not too much attention given and not too
47:39
much concern. and ideology played no concern because during the cultural
47:47
revolution period uh which was not exactly American ideology this is when
47:54
the relationship was formed between Mao and Nixon
47:59
then came the opening and that was an opportunity for investment and trade
48:05
that's fine but ideology played no special role
48:11
started around 2010, the American leaders that were watching this said, "Oh, this is China's getting
48:19
awfully big and uh rather successful."
48:24
And then I think two announcements by China really opened up American eyes.
48:30
One was the belt and road initiative which was suddenly an economic financial
48:36
uh infrastructure initiative that had suddenly a 100 partner countries and the
48:42
US didn't have anything like that and then the made in China 2025 program
48:49
which was a really brilliant initiative of China to identify 10 major technology
48:56
areas and set policies to make a major major advance in these areas. And this
49:03
is one of the most successful industrial policies I know of in history, the made in China 2025 because it really worked.
49:12
It really produced the EV revolution. It really produced uh the digital
49:18
revolution here. It really produced the renewable energy revolution. So it was very successful, but it terrified the
49:27
Americans suddenly. So starting around 2015, the whole view changed almost
49:34
suddenly in the United States. The view went from economic partnership to the
49:40
need to contain China, the need to do something to slow down China's economic
49:47
advance. Okay, all of this is quite dumb in my view. Uh you don't get ahead in
49:53
this world by stopping someone else. uh and uh there's no reason to. You're not
49:59
going to be better off. You're not going to be safe. Uh it's just a lose-lose
50:04
proposition if it's successful and it probably wouldn't be successful in any
50:09
event. It started under Obama, by the way. It didn't start with Trump. It
50:14
started definitely under Obama uh and uh the uh Trans-Pacific Partnership idea
50:21
which was the dumbest idea of trade policy that I know of which was to make
50:27
an Asian trade system without China. How can you do that? China is the main trade
country for all of Asia. But the United States had the idea we'll make an Asian
50:40
trade system without China. This is only in America. Uh could you have such
50:46
delusions? In any event, it started with Obama. It continued with Trump and it
50:54
also implicates Taiwan issue. Of course, this is the most dangerous flash point
51:00
of all, maybe the most dangerous in the whole world because the American
51:07
politicians because of this mindset do not know how to stay out of China's
51:12
internal issues. And so rather than saying that's not our problem, uh you
51:20
settle this peacefully, but uh it's not our issue, the United States, of course,
51:26
is providing large flows of armaments to Taiwan. And the American political
51:32
leaders are talking openly about defending Taiwan and militarily
51:37
defending Taiwan. If China said, "We're going to militarily defend the state of
51:43
Missouri or we're going to militarily defend Texas or we're going to
51:48
militarily defend California, it would not play very well in the US." But the
51:55
US because of the imperial mentality cannot put itself in China's position or
52:01
doesn't care to because the US can determine what should be done. So just
52:07
to conclude, I view this issue as extremely dangerous and peace actually
52:14
depends on the good sense of the Taiwanese leaders, which is fragile because if a
52:22
Taiwanese president were to declare independence, all hell could break out
52:30
because the United States would not necessarily have any responsibility.
52:37
And this is why the situation is so dangerous. And if Taiwan were smart, and my feeling
52:45
is Taiwan could end up like Ukraine, destroyed in between two uh fighting giants. And
52:54
if Taiwan were smart, the first thing they should say is to the United States,
53:01
don't send us any weapons, please. We don't want a fight here. We'll handle
53:08
our own diplomacy across the Taiwan Straits. Please quote, "Don't defend us
53:15
because we don't want to end up like Ukraine, caught between two giant
53:22
powers." So I'll conclude here for our discussion to say that the world really is
53:30
dangerous right now because of this mindset on the one hand
53:35
that I've described in the US and at the same time because of changing reality. I
53:42
want to end on an optimistic note. If we can avoid conflict
53:49
because of the technological revolution, we really could have a world of shared
53:54
prosperity and other regions of the world that seem hopeless right now like African
54:01
countries could really have 40 years of economic development if they would
54:10
follow China's roadmap for how to do this. and they would end up as a
54:15
highincome continent alongside the rest of the world. So I'm actually basically
54:22
optimistic, worried, but optimistic. Thank you.
