In a recent talk at the European Parliament, Jeffrey Sachs passionately addressed the complex geopolitical landscape involving the United States, Europe, Russia, and Ukraine. He criticized the long-standing U.S. foreign policy that has largely dominated European politics since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, arguing that it has led to numerous conflicts, including wars in the Middle East, Africa, and the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. #Sachs expressed concern over the lack of a cohesive European foreign policy, suggesting that Europe has been too reliant on American leadership. He contended that for true peace and stability, Europe needs to develop its own independent foreign policy and negotiate directly with Russia.
