In this video, Professor Jeffrey Sachs discusses the current tensions between the United States and Iran, arguing that the situation is a sign of decadent American hegemony (0:00 - 1:05). Sachs characterizes Donald Trump's recent statements as potentially delusional or confabulated, noting that Trump claimed constructive talks occurred when the Iranians reported none took place (1:11 - 1:55).

Key Points Discussed:

Trump's Mental State: Sachs suggests that Trump's erratic behavior and lies may stem from underlying pathology or cognitive decline, making the situation unpredictable (1:58 - 3:55).

Escalation vs. Diplomacy: Despite talks of a breakthrough, US Marines are moving toward the region, indicating a likely escalation rather than a peaceful resolution (6:18 - 8:05).

Lack of Competence: Sachs criticizes the general quality of US governance and foreign policy, describing it as devoid of serious planning, analytical thought, or long-term strategy (11:04 - 15:58).

Comparison with China: He contrasts the haphazard US approach with China's highly planned and collaborative governance model (12:00 - 13:20).

Subservient Europe: Sachs argues that European leaders are largely failing to act independently, instead following American foreign policy even when it is irrational (19:33 - 22:31).

Potential Offramp: Sachs believes the only hope for avoiding a larger war is for other great powers—specifically India, China, and Russia—to unite and force the US to stop its aggressive stance (27:35 - 28:50).

There are two kinds of people here actually more than that there are a variety of people and groups.

But both are there the ones who are very much loyal to the regime and they're not few at all and also the ones who want regime change and they're also a lot.

Yes there are also lots of people who are not pro regime but are behind their country and anti war so right now they are you could say behind the regime for their country.

But if I could say most of the people want regime change as they wanted it before the war too.

I guess the regime will gain a points of legitimacy. I'm trying to understand the logic of the US and Israel. What do they hope to achieve with this? It's childish to say they're mentally deficient; there's intelligence and strategy behind their actions. But I don't understand it.

Trump seems seriously mentally deteriorating; he seems like a 12-year-old. I doubt Trump has made any decisions about this war. They let him make minor decisions and make him believe he's the great president. It's pathetic.

And what the Marines will do? Suicide? Nowadays with drones any invasion is a hell, we can see it in Ukraine. J guess that they are going to put some pressure

Maybe there is and he doesn't understand it. For Sachs everything is very simple, he's totally one tendency, no nuances

Let's see how it ends. Really I don't understand it, but maybe they saw absolutely necessary to get low the military capacity of irán, destroying factories and weaponry. The Iranians will always say that this doesn't make them weaker, while the Americans claim to have destroyed 99.9% of Iran's offensive capabilities, so it's impossible to know.

The fact is that Iran is an aggressive country. We'll see how the situation stands after the war; judging it now, as Sachs did, seems premature to me.

Meanwhile while everyone is distracted by the war, Israel does this thanks to the continued support of people like breakingthewall

@Raze disgusting. 
 

it’s crazy how most of Israeli society are pro this war whilst the population of thejr main backers are against it - poetic really.

The world is going to be even more enraged with Israel if the perception remains that they were the sole cause of this war - and the world has to suffer in recession, inflation etc for it.

The gulf are angry - though UAE seems to be pushing itself as a frontline state against Iran - a bit like a Taiwan or Ukraine but on a way smaller scale.

Apparently extra troops get to ME tomorrow so if there is to be some ground invasion it could be this weekend or in the next week possibly. Maybe they’ll try something else (air campaign heavy bombing) before committing to that.

This guys been shared before but this new podcast was very good;

Joe Kent  is a former U.S. Army Special Forces veteran who recently resigned as the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) in March 2026.   His resignation is significant as he became the highest-profile official to leave the administration of President Donald Trump in protest of the war in Iran.  Kent resigned on March 17, 2026, stating he could no longer support the ongoing conflict. In a public resignation letter posted on X (formerly Twitter), he made several key assertions: 

No Imminent Threat: He claimed that Iran "posed no imminent threat to our nation".

Foreign Influence: He alleged the U.S. was pressured into the war by "Israel and its powerful American lobby".

Military Experience: As a veteran of 11 combat tours and a Gold Star husband, he stated he could not support sending a new generation to a "manufactured" war. 

Here is a video, where Joe Kent is being interviewed live where he discusses his reasons for leaving in detail.
