Is Jeff Sachs going to be wrong about every damn thing?
Posted by scrabb on May 17, 2025, 4:26 pm
I watched Sachs earlier the week (someone I have a great deal of time for) extolling Trump as the ender of wars and bringer of peace to the world and I felt highly sceptical about some of his hopes and predictions. Subsequent events in Ukraine and Gaza have deepened my scepticism to the point where I think he's just about wrong on everything. Anyone share this view?

Perhaps if you could give a quote, a chapter, a verse, maybe with a link and a date of utterance, we would be better equipped to judge whether Sachs might be wrong about every damned thing because you judge him wrong about something we might not have seen

I have the feeling about a lot of that crew with Sachs usually near the bottom of my sceptical scale although I haven't been watching any of them lately so perhaps things have changed.
The Trump as ender of wars and bringer of peace thing always strikes me as deluded but I found it was Crooke, Johnson and the rest that were always on the "He's playing 4d chess" tip.
Do you have a link or reference to the Sachs video?
It's a bad week for people I respect having terrible interviews; I watched Chris Hedges interview Ken Roth the other day and he just let him spew all this garbage with no pushback at all (at one point Roth said, paraphrasing, "...people need to use reliable sources to be informed, like the New York Times") and Hedges just kept a poker face and said nish!
Sachs has been dead on about Gaza and a lot of issues around that but I didn't realise he was extolling donny scumbag as the great white hope now. There's always some measure of "audience capture" for people who are on their channels but for the talking head class it's not usually the same.The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.
