I am particularly grateful to Professor Diesen for providing his audience with commentators offering divergent interpretations of the key international developments. Today in separate interviews he asked both me and Jeffrey Sachs the same questions regarding Trump’s speech to the General Assembly gathering, his statements on Truth Social that Ukraine can win the war against Russia and recover its occupied territory with help from the European Union and his answer to a journalist’s question about possible U.S. support should the Europeans shoot down Russian military jets violating their air space, per his recommendations.
I invite the Community to watch not only my interview with Glenn today but also the one with Jeffrey Sachs which you can easily find via the youtube search box.
My point is that Sachs’ derision of Trump and his accusation that Trump has shown ‘a colossal failure of leadership’ by not being transparent with the American public over his intention to end American participation in the Ukraine war must be placed in the context of Sach’s being a champion of globalism and of the Green Agenda in his capacity of director of the Columbia University center for sustainability. It was precisely these core beliefs of Sachs that Trump trashed during a speech to the GA which was definitely not a ‘disjointed rant’ per Sachs but a programmatic statement from Trump.
My further point is that in his remarks on Open Borders (a key aspect of Globalism) and on the futility of Renewable Energy Trump was saying what his MAGA supporters want to hear and so he could allow himself to be candid with the audience and with the American public. On the other hand, Trump’s views on ending the war on Russia’s terms, on normalization of relations with Russia do not find much support within MAGA and are positively hated by a majority of Congressmen and by the American political establishment, hence his duplicity, his espousing the positions of his opponents while in effect trolling them.
Enjoy the show!

Hello Gilbert. I am like Glenn Diesen. I like both you and Jeffrey Sachs equally. I appericiate the distinction you make but frankly it is secondary to the important issues. Also I would never trust Donald Trump. He is the American Zelensky. That said, I do think he knows that Ukraine has lost the war (someone in the Pentagon must have told him) and this was the basis of his Alaska meeting. But he has to deal with Americans who simply are not yet able to accept that Ukraine has lost. So you have to treat both the EU leaders and the Americans with kid gloves, since their egos are about to be badly bruised. I have to add: congratualtions on your celebrity status in the alternative media. Thank you and keep up the good work. Dan Good
