Aesthete Sachs: The United States is very likely to have ignited the fuse for a world war

On March 1st Beijing time, renowned international economist and Columbia University professor Jeffrey D. Sachs stated, “The United States may have already ignited the fuse for a world war. Praying that it does not escalate into nuclear war.” Why did the U.S. suddenly strike Iran despite progress in negotiations? According to Sachs, “This has never been about negotiations.” He said the core of this action is regime change, and the goal is even broader than regime change — the true intention is to bring the entire Middle East completely under U.S. control, with Israel acting as America’s hegemonic proxy in the region. “The U.S. hopes to control Middle Eastern oil supplies just as it tries to control Western Hemisphere oil supplies.” Sachs emphasized that this approach could have far-reaching impacts on the global energy supply chain, macroeconomic stability, and international security. Meanwhile, he warned that the conflict could escalate into a larger regional war or even trigger tensions among multiple countries worldwide. Sachs called on the international community to clearly oppose unilateral military actions and to promote a return to multilateral negotiations and peaceful resolutions. (21st Century Business Herald)
