On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, President of the UN’s Department for Sustainable Development. He discusses the mood surrounding the Ukraine proxy war at the UN General Assembly and what the “only glimmer of light” was, why the Ukraine proxy war and the war on Iran have “sensible exit ramps,” the UN’s absence in efforts to end the war on Iran and the Ukraine proxy war, Trump’s incompetence in negotiating with Russia to end the Ukraine proxy war, the “dire risk” of nuclear war as Europe refuses to negotiate sincerely with Russia, his conversation with then-National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and the one thing which could have stopped the Ukraine proxy war happening which Sullivan refused to do, the “incompetence” of European officials as Europe gears its societies for war with Russia, the media’s role in continuing the Ukraine proxy war, and much more.

Twice a week, award-winning journalist Afshin Rattansi and his team go underground to cover geopolitics and current affairs from a perspective you won’t find in the mainstream media, with some of the most high-profile guests.
