acTVism Podcast | english

In this episode of The Source, we interview world-renowned economist, UN advisor and best-selling author Jeffrey D. Sachs on the recent developments in Ukraine and Gaza. We begin the interview by assessing the student protests at American universities and whether they are anti-Semitic. Then we examine the role of the United States in relation to Israel's attack in Gaza. Finally, we talk about recent developments regarding Ukraine, including a recently approved $61 billion U.S. aid package and NATO Secretary General Jen Stoltenberg's promise that Ukraine will become part of Ukraine, and whether these steps are enough to ensure Ukraine's victory over Russia.
