We are live with Alexander Mercuris in London and we have with us once again on the Duran.

The one and only Jeffrey Sachs.

Professor Sachs, how are you doing today?

I'm doing well. Great to be with you guys.

Great to have you with us and we have a lot of news to get to.

A big shout out and hello to everyone that is watching us on all the platforms. A thank you to our moderators in the chat as well.

Alexander, Professor Sacks, what's in the news today?

Well, lots is in the news, which is that it seems to me that we're seeing every part of the great foreign policy that has led us into this disastrous state that we are in in the world unraveled in every single particular place in the Middle East, in Ukraine and wherever.

And yet some people still seem not to get the message and see to be determined

to persist with that foreign policy wherever they can. So in Ukraine, it seems to me that we're

balanced between policies of war and peace. Some people do seem to understand that we need to make

peace, but nobody seems to have any idea how.

In the Middle East, things are going from, I don't really see any sign of progress there at all,

but perhaps Professor Sachs can tell us more. In Europe, the collapse of policy in Europe is terrible,

but we do find Oasis of reason. Both of us attended a conference in Georgia, myself in person. Professor Sachs did the keynote speech there, though it was done

virtually, but it made a huge impact. I was in the room.

And it was fascinating to see how this country has basically woken up out of a nightmare, which is

what they all feel they were living through, and is trying to find its way back. And the way in which

it is succeeding in doing so. So if perhaps we could just say a few

quick things about that, Professor Sacks, we only have a short time, but you spoke to the people

there and it made a big impact and maybe we could just say a few things about this first.

Well, absolutely.
