Jeffrey Sachs: A Negotiated End to Fighting in Ukraine Is the Only Real Way to End the Bloodshed
With the war in Ukraine now in its 10th month, Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Joe Biden have both expressed openness to peace talks to end the fighting, as have leaders in France, Germany and elsewhere. This comes as millions of Ukrainians brace for a winter without heat or electricity due to Russian strikes on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. "This war needs to end because it's a disaster for everybody, a threat to the whole world," says economist and foreign policy scholar Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University. He says four major issues need to be addressed to end the war: Ukraine's sovereignty and security, NATO enlargement, the fate of Crimea and the future of the Donbas region.

Negotiating with Putin will be as fruitful as Negotiating with Hitler was.
Focusing on finding ethics and honesty in Lindsay Graham would have been a futile endeavor since he lacks both qualities. Instead, my main concern lies in navigating the current economic and global difficulties and ensuring stability, especially given the ongoing political power struggle in the United States.

Wasn’t attack on Yugoslavia in 1999 a violent defiance of international law? Wasn’t war in Irak or Libia a violent defiance of international law? It was a breach of soverenity and teritorial integrity of those countries without any UN resolution justyfying those invasions. Milions of civilians perished, as „colateral damage”. Cyvilian infrastructure (bridges, energy facilities) were targeted from the first moments of those invasions, also against the law. Extrajudicial killlings with drones, torture. All in front of the wole world, without any accountability. So I’d reccomend you come down from that western neo-colonial and patronising moral high-ground.

Was Putin the one who recently admitted that he never intended to hold up his country's end of the bargain in the Minsk agreements and only signed it in order to buy himself time for building up his military and retaking Donbas by force, or was that Petro Poroshenko? Was it Russia who withdrew from the AMB treaty, the INF treaty, and the Open Skies treaty over the last 20 years or was it the US? Ukraine's post-Maidan leaders and their US handlers have a long and thoroughly documented track record of opportunistically making agreements in bad faith and disregarding multilateral treaties they've signed as soon as they outlive their usefulness or become inconvenient to their policy goals, do you have any evidence that Putin would have done the same if his counterparts hadn't consistently done so first? For better or worse, Russia has established a relatively consistent track record of keeping its promises with other countries, even when those promises are threats. Their years of threatening to take military action if mutually tolerable diplomatic solutions couldn't be reached and adhered to on NATO expansion and the placement of US strategic nuclear missiles within NATO territory (threats that have long preceded Putin's time in power), or ending the civil war in eastern Ukraine, are themselves examples of a promise they've kept after being ignored for a very long time by the US and its proxies and exhausting its diplomatic avenues of recourse, as we saw in January of this year immediately before Russia's intervention when Biden and his representatives told Russia that their concerns were non-starters for negotiation and not legitimate in the first place before any negotiations could even begin. The US empire would go to war over far lesser threats to its own national security or its national interests, and we know this because it has done so countless times. The US had countless opportunities to prevent this particular disaster over the last 8 years but instead chose to escalate the situation at every opportunity while posing as if it had some kind of moral high ground because doing so served its interests and its leaders weren't the ones who would have to deal with the potential consequences and felt that they were infallible despite having the blood of millions on their hands, largely as a result of the same kind of reckless, callously opportunistic, and self-serving interference that they've perpetrated in other parts of the world as they're now doing in Ukraine. Even during the most tense and dangerous periods of the first cold war, the US state department and its dozens of subsidiary think-tanks were never dominated by the kind of fanatically unhinged, reckless, delusional, hawkish, and entitled American Exceptionalist ideologues that they are now in the era of neo-conservative hegemony.

@@DissidentB Yes, Putin did all these things and openly admitted he did so. The Minsk agreements were never honored by anyone in the conflict. Fighting never stopped. Putin was supporting separatists with Russian forces in violation of the Budapest memorandum of 1995. There was nothing any leader of Ukraine could do except become a vassal state of Russia like Belarus. The people of Ukraine wanted freedom and made it very clear they were willing to fight for it in 2013. Much of this conflict in Donbas has roots in the Holodomor initiated by Stalin in the 1930's. Where a genocide against Ukrainians with an attempt to replace them with Russians took place. Millions of Ukrainians died. Small wonder Ukrainians turned to the West and rejected Putin's attempts to enslave them to the Kremlin.

Today, Sven G Holtsmark has a good review of a three-day-old interview that the International Peace Agency (IPB) had with Jeffrey Sachs. Here, Sachs was allowed to make sweeping claims unchallenged, and Holtsmark explains why. At the same time, there is another interview with Sachs that is also being shared on social media. It was done last December 6 by Democracy Now! It is confusingly similar to the IPB interview and not that much better. At the very beginning of the interview, there is a clip with Macron from "60 minutes" where you can hear Macron say that: "The only way to find a solution would be through negotiations. I don't see a military option on the ground". But Democracy Now! had cut out what he had said in the sentence before. The sequence went like this: Interviewer: So how does this end? Macron: I think it's important to convey the message that this is, the Ukrainians to decide that. The only way to find a solution would be through negotiations. I don't see a military option on the ground. Democracy Now! thus tore away important context. After all, Macron emphasized exactly the same thing as Biden - that negotiations must take place on Ukraine's terms, and that the war must ultimately be resolved at the negotiating table. Instead, Democracy Now! it sounds like Macron was critical of the American position and that it should be negotiated now. Democracy Now! thus served the viewers manipulation. During the interview, Sachs said that 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed, referring to von Leyen. But at this point the EU had explained that Leyen had said the wrong thing and had meant "casualties". Then it is not serious to continue to quote her in this way a week later, as Sachs did. Sachs thus attempted to inflate the Ukrainian loss figures on an unjustified basis.
