Seems like an interesting chap, across diverse areas like Covid conspiracy theories (associations with RFK Jr), China (supporting communist party position on Uyghurs) and Ukraine.

On Ukraine "In March 2023, a group of 340 economists published an open letter to "address some of the historical misrepresentations and logical fallacies" that they said were contained in Sach's arguments regarding the Russo-Ukrainian war."

So in a small minority and associated with fringe positions on many issues.

I think I'd take with a large grain of salt.

I think the other well known Sachs provides a better response to this loony.

Technically, Russia is now broke
The shadow tanker fleet is sailing around the world trying to sell Russian oil is not finding any buyers. India and China have virtially stopped importing Russian Oil as their major companies don't want to to be sanctioned by the US. Even buying Russian oil from a company that breaks sanctions can lead to sanctions being impossed on them!

Both China and India are clearly telling Russia to stop and take what they have taken - but Putin is not listening.

Oil can no longer be essily exported via the Black Sea as yesterday's strike at Novorossiysk has shown. Russian air defence in the area is now unservisable and seemingly with a steady supply of Flamingo missiles the port facilities and shipping can be reduced to a smoking wreck.

Ukrainian attack halts oil exports from Russia's Novo, affecting 2% of global supply, sources say

Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiysk temporarily suspended oil exports - equivalent to 2.2 million barrels per day, or 2% of global supply - on Friday, according to industry sources, after a Ukrainian missile and drone attack.

It should also be noted that businesses in Russia are collapsing left right and centre.

If Europe ups it's support for Ukraine - Russia would be in serious trouble.

A long interesting read on the state of the Russian economy...

Moscow’s Fading Shadow Fleet: Russian Oil Revenues are More Vulnerable than Ever.

The West has cracked the code on how to roll back Russia’s shadow fleet at scale. This gives policymakers new, low-risk, high-impact options for further restricting Moscow’s oil revenues.

I see there has been a sabotage attack (potentially two) on a Polish railway line that helps deliver aid into Ukraine, southeast of Warsaw, an explosion has destroyed some of the line.

Polish railway track blast an 'unprecedented act of sabotage', PM says

An explosion that damaged a Polish railway track on a route to Ukraine was an "unprecedented act of sabotage", Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Monday as he vowed to catch those responsible for an incident he said could have ended in tragedy.

I see they've had to evacuate a Romanian village too, as there's been a explosion and fire on a tanker on the River Danube, I suspect that is some kind of sabotage or russian drone attack.
