    Ah yes Jeffrey D. Sachs, trusted and respected economist.

    In 2022, he appeared twice on one of the top-rated shows funded by the Russian government, hosted by Vladimir Solovyov, to call for Ukraine to negotiate and step away from its “maximalist demands” of removing Russia from Ukrainian territory.

    Sachs is a “long-time advocate of dismantling American hegemony and embracing the rise of China.” He believes the term “genocide” is mistaken in relation to the repression of the Uyghurs in China.

    In July 2022, Sachs said he was “pretty convinced,” though “not sure” that COVID-19 came out of “US lab biotechnology,” which is considered by the European Union to be COVID-19 disinformation by China.
