Sachs says the battlefield is dismantling the official story faster than Washington can spin it, and that two American jets going down in a single afternoon while the president was claiming Iranian air defenses had been 100% annihilated is the clearest possible evidence that the war is not going the way the public is being told. Sachs argues that the American assertion of hegemony is the structural problem, but that the personality of the U.S. president is making it dramatically worse. He describes him in clinical terms as impulsive, paranoid, and a megalomaniac, drawing on assessments forensic psychologists have made publicly for years. He says the same psychological traits apply to Netanyahu, and that both men view stepping back as a personal test they cannot afford to fail. He warns that the war is escalating without any functioning brake. No interagency check, no congressional constraint, just a president extending deadlines and then escalating anyway. He points out that in Europe, leaders who side with Washington are losing their own political base, citing Italy's Giorgia Meloni publicly breaking with the U.S. position to secure energy supplies for Italy. He warns that Gulf governments who built their security around American F-35s and military bases are now trapped between their own publics and a war they did not want. His one proposed off-ramp is that Putin, Xi, and Modi pick up the phone together and tell the U.S. president directly that this is not going anywhere good and it needs to stop. He admits even that may not be enough. This interview was recorded as a US F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down inside Iran with one airman still missing, as a US A-10 went down near the Strait of Hormuz the same day, as oil traded above $111 a barrel, and as Iran's Revolutionary Guard publicly named 18 US tech and defence companies including Palantir, Meta, Google, and Microsoft as targets for further action. 📚 Sources cited in this video: • U.S. Energy Information Administration, Strait of Hormuz https://eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=39932 • International Energy Agency, Oil Market Report https://iea.org/reports/oil-market-report • Council on Foreign Relations, US Military Operations in the Middle East https://cfr.org/region/middle-east-and-north-africa • Brookings Institution, US Hegemony and the Multipolar World https://brookings.edu/topics/u-s-foreign-policy/ • Pew Research Center, Public Attitudes Toward Use of Military Force https://pewresearch.org/topic/international-affairs/ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This channel provides geopolitical commentary and analysis for educational and informational purposes only.
