In early 2023, months before Israel launched its genocidal war on Palestinians, renowned French anthropologist Emmanuel Todd opined that World War III had begun.
Today, with major wars escalating in both West Asia and Ukraine, Todd’s assessment seems prophetic.
To examine the trajectories of these wars, I spoke this week with Dr. Jeffrey Sachs.
Dr. Sachs is a professor at Columbia University. From 2001 to 2018, he was Special Advisor to the UN Secretary General. He also was an economic adviser to Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and his successor, Russian President Boris Yeltsin.
According to Dr. Sachs, direct attacks on Iran by Israel and the United States could draw Russia and China into a world-historical confrontation with the West.
You can watch and listen to our discussion here:
-
[…] and China into a “world-historical confrontation with the West,” Dimitri Lascaris recently suggested. Meanwhile, Hungary’s top diplomat on Tuesday warned that if Ukraine received a NATO membership […]
If Communism had a ground zero it would be Columbia U.
Those trying to start a WW3 war party might succeed but America aint gonna show up this time, they gonna be all dressed up and have nobody to blow.
Dimitri: you do brilliant and essential work as a truthteller and peace activist during these dangerous times.
Regarding your latest conversation Jeffrey Sachs:
Here is a satirical novella I wrote a little while ago about WW3 as a result of the US and Israel going to war against Iran, as a narrative by a US veteran of Afghanistan suffering from PTSD.
Spoiler alert: it is a comedy with lots of bad jokes in which everybody dies.
