๐ŸšจPROF. JEFFREY SACHS:

"How many wars has China๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ been in, in the last 40 years? Let me count them. That would be zero. Not one war in 40 years.โ€

The US๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ does not need to make an enemy out of China. While the US has been going around the world bombing and invading everything in sight, China focused on trade and business, including with the United States.

If the US goes on the path of cooperation and peaceful coexistence with China, the world will enter a golden age of prosperity in the multipolar world. If the US goes down the path of confrontation, the world will enter an age of darkness with no winners.

US Secretary of State Rubio on Trump's warning to Hamas:

โ€œHe's tired of watching these videos every weekend where hostages that are emaciated are released and bodies are turned overโ€ฆhe has lost his patience."

Has he seen the hundreds of Palestinians released who are emaciated, visibly have injuries of torture, and clearly have signs of psychological trauma?

"Frankly, it's a proxy war between nuclear powers, the United States helping Ukraine, and Russia and it needs to come to an end.โ€

The number one dynamic of a proxy war: It ends when superpowers want it to end, not when proxies want it to end. This is what Zelensky signed up for.

How well did this mindset go for Hitler, Napoleon and others?
