Jeffrey Sachs warns US militarism risks wider war over Iran - LightAngel - 03-10-2026

Jeffrey Sachs, a public policy analyst and former senior advisor to the UN, strongly criticizes the US's militaristic and imperialistic actions, particularly under the current administration.

He warns of the devastating consequences of the conflict with Iran, and highlights China and most of the world's belief in international law and multilateralism, in contrast to the US's disregard for these principles.

Sachs argues that the US is not listening to calls for cooperation, and is instead seeking conquest and hegemonic control, risking World War III.

FWIW, this could be BS, or it could be real...

Iranians won't be cheering for anything once their loved ones are bombed out of existence.

According to Sky news Australia there were crowds in Tehran’s Revolution Square celebrating the announcement of their new spiritual leader and calling for death to America and death to Israel not celebrating the attacks , I guess "Mossad Commentary" mistook their intention.

Militarily, it's gone about as well as we could have hoped

All Im doing is posting what interests me elsewhere to be picked over and dissected by Rogue Nation

The quote "The first casualty when war comes is truth" is often attributed to U.S. Senator Hiram Johnson, highlighting how truth is often compromised during conflicts. This idea has been echoed throughout history, emphasizing the challenges of obtaining accurate information in wartime.


For more perspective....

The New York Times is posting footage from 2020, and saying that its celebrations for the new Ayatollah.

Who needs Iranian State TV when you have the New York Times?


  • Eyal Yakoby's post criticizes a New York Times Instagram image depicting a massive pro-regime crowd in Tehran as recycled 2020 footage from Qasem Soleimani's funeral, falsely presented as celebrations for Iran's new Supreme Leader after Ayatollah Khamenei's death on March 1, 2026.
  • Forensic analysis in quoted threads from
    @ErfInstitute
    reveals digital manipulation in the photo via Error Level Analysis, including uniform noise patterns, cloned crowd sections, and inconsistent lighting, indicating likely fabrication by Iranian state media to inflate support amid leadership transition unrest.
  • The controversy underscores broader disinformation trends, with peer-reviewed studies like those in the Journal of Digital Forensics (2023) noting AI tools enable such alterations in 70% of state-propaganda images, eroding trust in outlets like NYT that republish unverified regime content without scrutiny.

I differ with Mr. Sachs' opinion.

1. EVERY war is a "war of choice". The belligerents always have the choice to either knuckle down and appease their enemy, becoming the slave thereof, or to fight back. That choice is always present, making every single war that has ever occurred a "War of choice".

2. I do not prefer Chinese or Iranian imperialism and hegemony over US imperialism and hegemony. Mr. Sachs clearly differs in that opinion, and would seem to prefer the Chinese over his own countrymen.

3. International "law" is not really law at all. It is based entirely on treaty agreements, which are subject to dissolution when they are no longer advantageous. There is no objective international "law". It's all by treaty, and the US (and indeed most other nations as well) has a long history of tearing up treaties at will. Just ask an Indian.

4. The propagandistic buzz-words are thick and heavy in Mr. Sachs' speech. It leads me to question just how much China is paying him for his support of their agenda.

5. "Multilateral world" and "multipolar world" are code phrases for "We'll play nice with you until we gain dominion over you". History illustrates that pretty clearly.

6. "Diplomacy" is the fine art of saying "nice doggie" until you can get your hands on a big stick or rock. It has only ever been used when one side or the other doesn't have a decisive advantage, and is used only to buy time to gain that decisive advantage,
