Jeffrey Sachs: Only India, Russia, and China can stop ‘psychopath’ Trump’s war on Iran

On this episode of New Order, we speak to Professor Jeffrey Sachs, the director of Columbia University’s Center for Sustainable Development and special adviser to three UN secretaries-general. He discusses Donald Trump’s threats to “bomb Iran back to the stone age” and Iran’s inevitable retaliation which will result in an out-of-control global economic crisis, the empowerment of the war machine in the US and the absence of any attempt by Trump to stop it, the dangerous personality traits of Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu which led to this war, his belief that only Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Narendra Modi can stop the war, his advice for how India should position itself in the unfolding crisis, his appeal to India and China to not allow the border dispute created by the British Empire to hinder a multipolar world, and much more.

Finally, New Order’s Zarah Khan asks questions from you, the viewers, to Afshin Rattansi. You can send in your questions to @AfshinRattansi on X to be answered on next week’s episode!

And a question for you, the viewers: How can Modi, Putin, and Xi Jinping pressure Trump to end the war against Iran?
