Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : Is Trump Any Better Than Biden?

Surging financial flows in January 2025 suggest Russia’s economy is growing more strongly than recently indicated, the Russian Central Bank said Friday.

Exactly 177 days after being sworn to office, America’s greatest peace president, Dwight D. Eisenhower, announced that the demolition derby on the Korean peninsula would be halted, and that an armistice would prevail henceforth – which armistice remains in place to this very day.

War over Ukraine? It mustn’t be. Some of us believed that at the end of the Cold War in 1991 American and Soviet nuclear rockets would be left to rust and rot in their silos. Indeed, we actually saw Ukraine, where the Soviets made most of their rockets and based many, (who says that Ukraine doesn’t have an umbilical relationship with Russia?), deciding to give up its nuclear armoury- for which the world should give more praise than it does.

Evgeny Velikhov’s many accomplishments in reducing the threat from nuclear weapons—during and after the Cold War—are unparalleled.

They’re protecting their bottom line.

President Trump’s decision to cut funding to USAID revealed the extent to which the US government has been financing media, protests and other means to hijack civil society around the world. In Ukraine, USAID had a key role in toppling President Yanukovych in 2014 and has since financed between 85-90% of Ukrainian media to ensure narrative control. The Georgian Prime Minister has also been warning that Western NGOs have been activated to topple the government and convert Georgia into a second front against Russia. There is also overwhelming evidence that the US government established “non-governmental organisations” (NGOs) since the 1980s that are financed by the US government, staffed with people linked to the US intelligence community, and pursue US geopolitical interests under the guise of promoting democracy and human rights. One of these “NGOs” is the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) established by Reagan to take over some of the tasks of the CIA. These organisations are instruments for the US to govern the societies of other nations and pursue regime change when necessary.

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE/MOSCOW, Feb 9 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he believed the United States was making progress in its talks to end thewar between Russia and Ukraine, but declined to provide details about any communications he had had with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

USAID and the NED have been funding media and journalists in foreign countries – notably in the Ukraine, where Ukrainian media now claim they cannot continue without American money – substantiating what most of us already knew — that Ukrainian propaganda is orchestrated from, if not written, in Washington.

President Donald Trump’s troubling “rethink.” Now, he seems to agree with the continuation of the war and U.S. military aid, as long as Ukraine repays: “We want – said the 47th president of the U.S. -, to make an agreement with Ukraine under which they reciprocate what we give them with their rare earths and other materials”.
