 listening to Jeffery Sachs speak at Cambridge, and having even more layers of my naivety stripped away.

 So much information about US foreign policy, NATO and the installation of the current Ukrainian government.
I'm just saying, is the western legacy media reporting a one sided account?

Is Putin the bogeyman as we've been told, or just trying to push NATO back?

 I was worried at the Keynesian fanboy intro but it got a lot better after that 🤣👍🏻 
 yeah he almost lost me there too. 
 Very interesting talk, thanks for sharing 🫂 
 I like Sachs, even if I do not share all of his views. Ukraine must be allowed to decide for itself, and there is no question that Russia is violating international law. Whether there is a backstory or not does not change that fact. The role of the West is concerning as well. Instead of fueling the fire, they should be sending diplomats to Moscow every day.  I wish they would finally find a way for negotiations and a ceasefire. War is terrible. 
 you have good character and a good heart.❤️ 
 kind words atyh 🩷 - I can be terrible too though. 😏 
 i might give you a run for your money in that.
