Jeffrey Sachs· Guest0:11
You know, we always talk about the fork in the road. We're really, we're really at a decisive moment. Uh, there's an off-ramp. It's definitely, definitely, definitely the one that we should be taking. We should be avoiding a return to outright bombing, to, uh, uh, renewed, uh, military, uh, action. That's a very real possibility. And the other possibility, in my view, is pretty much an uncontrolled, uh, escalation into a full-blown war, uh, that would become a regional war and that could become a world war. Um, I think we're really at that moment right now. Maybe that, uh, sounds naive because why not next week? Why not the week after? Why not the week after? Uh, but the problem is that we're not in a stable situation where we can choose one or the other. We're in an unstable situation. As we speak, uh, the world economy is reeling.
