In this episode of The Source, we interview world-renowned economist, UN advisor, and best-selling author Jeffrey D. Sachs about the latest developments in Syria. Specifically, we explore the geopolitics behind the recent events in Syria and the role of the United States. We also assess the significance of the recent meeting in Paris between US President-elect Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, during which he called for an immediate ceasefire in the war in Ukraine. Finally, we examine the reasons why the United States decided to undermine the decision of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, despite their support for the court when it decided to issue an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
To watch more of our videos on this topic or with other experts such as Edward Snowden, Noam Chomsky, Abby Martin, Yanis Varoufakis, Glenn Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill, Jill Stein, Daniel Ellsberg, etc, please visit and subscribe to our YouTube channel by clicking here.
