TUCKER CARLSON: Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce someone who I consider one of the smartest people I know and whose understanding of the world is matched only by his ability to synthesize huge themes and illustrate them with precise detail. Someone who traveled the world for forty years, a man who not only writes about the leaders of the world but knows them personally, Professor Jeffrey Sachs.
This is an interesting video (part of a much longer interview), in that it describes the big picture history of Ukraine, Russia, the United States and NATO. What do you think?

If you want to understand why we’ve got a pretty shady reputation among many of the Countries around the globe, this 9:00 or so explains things quite clearly. The neo-cons of our government/deep state/military industrial complex are a big reason why there is a lot of unrest in the world. That, and the fact that about a third of all world leaders are psychopaths does not lead to a good mix of positive things going on out there.
