Top Economist Sounds Alarm Over Escalating Tensions
Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs dropped a truth bomb 💣 in a recent CGTN interview, calling potential U.S. military action against Iran "a disaster for humanity." The Nobel laureate economist didn't hold back, criticizing what he called "daily war threats" from former President Trump and warning that conflict would destabilize the entire Middle East.
"We're playing with fire 🔥," Sachs declared, pointing to U.S. military strikes in seven countries over the past year. His comments come as global oil prices fluctuate wildly 📈📉 and young activists worldwide rally under #NoWar2026 banners.
Why This Matters for Gen-Z
1️⃣ Energy prices could skyrocket, hitting wallets worldwide 2️⃣ Climate efforts might get sidelined by military spending 3️⃣ Global supply chains face new disruptions 4️⃣ Diplomatic relations between East and West hang in balance
