WW3 HAS ALREADY STARTED — No One Is Ready | Prof. Jeffrey Sachs

I think Netanyahu confirmed what I've been saying for uh many many years. He says this is uh my dream come true uh for 40 years. I had put it at 30 years because he's been prime minister for 30 years. This is a long-term plan. This is a Mossad CIA plan for American control of the Middle East and Israeli military hegemony in the Middle East that has been underway since 1996. It has involved wars across the Middle East. It has left rivers of blood from uh Libya to Sudan, Somalia, uh the genocide in Gaza, uh the annexation of the West Bank, the bombing, including today, of Beirut and the destruction of Lebanon, the destruction of Syria, uh the destruction of Iraq and the Iraq war, uh the destruction of Yemen as a functioning country and the goal of Netanyahu since 1996 he says it's 40 years I I have put it at 30 years is the destruction of Iran this is madness this is murderous delusion and this is what is underway right now this is not some short-term issue these These are the famous seven wars in five years that Wesley Clark told us about a long time ago. This is clean break doctrine of Netanyahu. He's a madman. Uh and he and the madmen in charge in the United States uh have brought us into this. They are systematically destroying our country as they are destroying the Middle East. It's very very serious. Uh if you ask why do the roads not work and the bridges not work in the United States? Why is infrastructure falling to pieces? Why are living standards stagnant or declining? It's because we spend trillions of dollars in war. Why is China advancing so rapidly, so effectively? Why does the United States have not one mile of fast rail? China just completed its 50,000th kilometer, approximately 30,000 miles of fast rail because China doesn't go to war. The United States is in non-stop war. And so this is just adding to the destruction of our country. Uh it's like your lead in every day judge uh about uh undeclared wars about the cost to our society the loss of freedom of being ruled by a military state which we are of being uh in partnership with a absolutely rogue murderous nation which is Israel which thinks a little bit beyond its means because it thinks thinks it has the United States uh to do all of its work for it. But that uh country of 10 million people thinks that it is going to run the Middle East. And the United States has been uh duly following orders coming from Mr. Netanyahu for 30 years and we're at it again. Trump, let me add, is an utter disgrace to our nation. Utter disgrace. He lied to us. Every word about America first. His whole premise was, "We're not going to do this." And he did exactly the opposite of what he said. He did exactly the opposite of what the American people say. Of course, Congress is dead for all intents and purposes. Doesn't matter whether it's Johnson or Schumer. They're useless, these people. They're all in the Zionist lobby payroll. They have squandered our wealth. They have squandered our strength. They have diverted our attention from our elevators and our escalators and our roads and our power grid and all the things that make life viable for us, our housing stock, everything to divert our trillions of dollars to this madness that is underway right now. It's been a 30-year project of madness that has cost us trillions and trillions of dollars. And it's a kind of psychopathy because they're killing people wantingly. They're killing school girls. No one even pauses. 150 school girls bombed by Israel. No one even mentions these things. It's absolutely shocking, disgraceful, dangerous, bankrupting our country. And Trump lied. Lied every word of what he was going to do. >> How do you think this uh will affect uh relations with Russia? I mean, who would negotiate with America again? This is the second time in eight months that these have attempted to lull Ukra Iran into a false sense of security believing that they were engaged in legitimate negotiations whereas the decision for war was made before the negotiations started. >> The United States does not negotiate, it cheats. That's been true for a long time. By the way, [snorts] that is the mentality of the CIA security state, which is that it can do what it wants. The war in Ukraine came because of the US push for NATO to go to Russia's border. But that itself was a lie because there were negotiations with Gorbachev in February 1990 in the context of German reunification where the United States and Germany told the Soviet Union in no uncertain terms NATO would not move eastward. The litany of lies is non-stop. But Trump can't even open his mouth to say a truthful word. not once. So there there's nothing to do. What's novel right now is that if you negotiate with the United States, they kill you. That's that's the new thing. They used to just lie. Now they kill you because if you negotiate, it means you're weak. Anyone that would negotiate is weak. So we can kill you. And then Trump by the way says, "Oh, they want to negotiate with with us." And Mr. Ali Larijani who is responsible now in Iran explains that is a complete delusion. And that is a delusion that it's partly uh of course just Trump's PR to say whatever he wants to say. But he says that all over the place about who wants to negotiate and nobody does because nobody trusts the United States for one moment. Has uh Trump or has u the secretary of defense who calls himself the secretary of war articulated a clear goal or militarily achievable purpose as the law requires? >> Of course not. There is no law here. Uh and uh this is a war full scale as they explained to us by the hour now that only Congress has the right to declare. This was not in response to an imminent emergency where the president invokes authority as commanderin-chief. This is a war, a war of choice that under our constitutional system, which admittedly is defunct, but under our supposed constitutional system is the prerogative of Congress and Congress only. Again, our Congress is so corrupted by Israel that I don't think anything good comes out of it. But under our system, what is happening can only come from the Congress. Why do you think um and this has been reported, I don't know if you accept this, but we've seen it in a number of places, Professor Saxs, the Trump administration reached out to the Italian foreign ministry and asked them to ask the Iranian foreign ministry for a ceasefire and the Iranian foreign ministry said no and hell no. If true, why would the Trump administration have done that? Do they know already? They bit off more than they can chew. >> I have no idea. I have not heard this uh account until this moment uh because I'm in a lot of meetings these days. Uh but uh >> all I can say I have no idea whether such a report is true, but we can say the following. Uh Iran is uh shooting missiles uh that cost uh uh maybe uh a hundred or $200,000 and they are being accepted intercepted by anti-missile systems when they are intercepted that cost $2 million or more. uh the US stockpile of such systems is depleted in any event because of uh the Ukraine war and uh past wars, Israel's uh defense including last summer. The US cannot sustain what it's doing for more than some period of weeks. I am not close to being the military expert that you have on the show. So, we'll listen to them. But, uh the fact of the matter is that this is uh not something that the United States can sustain. Uh and uh they surely know that they think that Iran will capitulate. They thought that killing the religious leader, which is so grotesque, it's just hard to know even where to start on this. But they thought that that would perhaps change everything. These are mad men, people of extraordinary ignorance and vulgarity who think that murder is their business and think that murdering the religious leader of a faith is somehow going to bring people crawling to the US for relief. This is a a profoundly evil, but also in my view a profound miscalculation. >> Isn't perpetual war Netanyahu's only means to stay in office and out of jail? >> It could be, but I think his delusions are bigger than that. Uh he believes that Israel rules in the same way that our ambassador to Israel said last week. Netanyahu believes. So does Ambassador Huckabe. For all I know, so does Donald Trump. For all I know, so does the CIA. Who knows in our country anymore? But Netanyahu believes that Israel should rule the Middle East. and many of his uh uh his uh gangster acolytes believe that that's God's promise and that's what Huckabe believes as well. Uh and so you've got a lot of things going on here. Uh it's not just a calculation about staying out of jail. Uh it's a calculation that goes back 30 or 40 years to the belief that Israel with the America's trillions of dollars and non-stop war will rule the Middle East. >> Let me um try and expand this by playing a clip from President Mcronone uh of France. uh terrifying [snorts] in its tone and import. Chris number 21. I have uh ordered that we increase the number of nuclear warheads on our arsenal in order to put pay to any speculation. We will no longer communicate on the figures regarding our nuclear arsenal contrary to past practice. In order to be free, therefore we must be feared. And in order to be feared, we have to be powerful. This increase in our arsenal reflects that uh approach. But in order to be powerful, and this is the second part of my intervention, we have to be united. And I'm I'm going to speak. >> Has Trump just started World War II? >> Uh there's a good chance of that. uh Mcronone was not responding specifically to this war but he was expressing a mindset which is insane. Uh and um the mindset is uh uh the only way uh to be safe in this world is to instill fear in others. And the way to instill fear in others is to build up one's armaments to a maximum extent. You teach even four year olds that this is not the way to be safe, that uh this is not the way to play with others. Now, Mcronone has an approval rating of about 10%. I regard that as a rounding error to zero because in any survey some people will even mistakenly answer something. He has no support. The European leaders in general have no support. Trump's support is plummeting and will continue to plummet. We're in the hands of gangsters. We're not in the hands of a constitutional system. were in the hands of a broken, corrupted, gangster-led system. I'm sorry. I don't mean to be rude or hyperbolic. But how can we have wars like this declared by Trump and Hegsth? And this is how we behave in the context of what was supposedly negotiations which the mediator said was making great progress and would meet again the following Monday. This is not even remotely in the category of normal. This is just gangsterism. The people don't buy it because we're becoming more and more endangered. None of this is bringing us any security at all. None of this is bringing us any security at all. Here is the uh Iranian foreign minister on the negotiations and having been duped. Chris cut number nine. >> We negotiated with with the United States twice in the past 12 months and in both cases they attacked us in the middle of uh negotiation and that has become a very bitter experience for us. In last June, we were negotiating. We had five rounds of negotiations and we had we had already fixed the sixth round for 15 June when the Israeli attacked us and then the US joined the attack and and this time we had three rounds. Last uh Thursday we had a very good discussion, very good talks in Geneva. Uh the both Iranian and the US delegation were happy at the end of 7 hours of negotiations. some other differences were left for the next meeting and we decided to go for Vienna to send our technical teams to Vienna on Monday which which means tomorrow uh to uh to go to the IAEA and with the help of the uh international atomic energy organization try to find uh technical solutions for the uh political problems. When they understood that that that diplomacy is going un well, they decided to spoil it and they created a buildup in the media, you know, against the Islamic Republic of Iran. They convinced President Trump to attack us unprovoked and unfade and all predictably so. Iran has wanted to negotiate for 15 years. It's tried repeatedly. Uh it signed an agreement with the United States in 2015. The joint comprehensive plan of action. That was an agreement reached with the United States, Britain, France, China, Russia, and Germany. And then it was ratified unanimously by the UN Security Council. and Iran abided by the agreement. It opened up to inspections. It kept the uh activities strictly within the bounds of the agreement. And then Trump ripped up the agreement. Trump not only ripped up the agreement, but then Israel and the United States proceeded to assassinate Iranian leaders and scientists to attack Iranian facilities and to show there will be no negotiations. When these negotiations started a year ago, uh it was quite clear this was in bad faith. But then it was proved with the bombing. The Iranians are nice people. Uh they actually wanted they wanted to believe well that was then we we've really got to try. But the war was set when Netanyahu was who's not a nice person came to see Trump a few weeks ago and this war was set then. So this is all a charade and it is a charade in the interest of Netanyahu's uh ardent desire now I know it's 40 years I stand corrected I used to say 30 years his ardent desire to take over the Middle East it's insanity it's putting us all in extreme danger why is Trump doing this well I think there are maybe three things that uh can be said. Uh one is uh the CIA runs our country. Uh the uh security apparatus runs the country. Uh second uh Trump is a weak unstable individual uh and uh BB seems to own him. Uh third, there may be uh there there may be more whether in the Epstein files or elsewhere that account for this kind of behavior. But what we can say without question, judge, is that this is contrary to the American interest. This is America last. This is endangering everybody. This will absolutely do great economic damage to the people that uh voted for Mr. Trump and the ramifications of an expanding war are very great. I can also add another point that I think is important. countries that house US military facilities like uh Bahrain or Qatar or Saudi Arabia or France and Britain or Denmark are basically vassels of the United States. The CIA operates out of those uh military bases. uh these uh countries are subordinate to the US imperial designs. Uh and that's why Europe cannot utter one single word of honesty about what's happening right now. We shouldn't hold our breath for it. It won't happen. They're all attacking Iran. They're attacking Iran for escalating, not the United States and Israel for attacking Iran. The one exception to this is the Spanish government. And all kudos to the president, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez for speaking honestly. All the rest are just vassals, useless. They don't tell the truth at all. I was at the UN Security Council meeting emergency session on Saturday. There is the Danish ambassador attacking Iran under these circumstances of after Iran was attacked and bombed. And this ambassador thinks that somebody's going to come to Denmark's rescue when the United States invades Greenland. no principles at all because they're all occupied countries and it's really very dangerous for this reason because we don't get honest discussion. So, uh CNN and Al Jazer are reporting 18 American casualties. I don't know if that means deaths uh or just uh injuries. Usually, if you say casualties, it combines injuries and deaths. So, we know of four that are dead uh and that would leave uh 14 uh that are injured. I mean, how do you see this ending? >> I see it escalating and spreading and I think it's extraordinarily extraordinarily out of control because we do not have uh we we we do not have any safety in the US. a a leadership structure right now. It's extremely dangerous. It's all based on lies and it's all based on violence. And um this it's hard to see. It's not going to end in some victory. It's going to continue with the escalation and death. And um we're wondering where, if any, are there any grown-ups in the United States uh in positions of responsibility that will speak truthfully about this? I I don't see almost any. Uh there are few voices in Congress. Rand Paul is one of them. Uh Congressman Massie is another. These are real patriots because they truly understand the constitution. They truly understand the danger of the kind of uh security state that governs our country and they know how disastrous this can be. But there are very few others.
