Description:
Professor Jeffrey Sachs joins Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris on The Duran to lay out a four point peace plan he believes could end the Ukraine conflict almost immediately. Sachs traces the crisis back to the 1990 NATO non expansion pledges made by Genscher, Baker and Kohl, then explains how an end to NATO enlargement, Ukrainian neutrality modeled on Austria and Ireland, a path to EU candidacy and a negotiated armistice line could restore inclusive security in Europe. If Europe's leaders already admit all of this in private, why won't a single one of them say it in public?
