I beg you to watch the following short video, in which Professor Jeffrey Sachs talks about the extraodrdinary “Peace Speech” given by President John F Kennedy during the first Cold War in June of 1963, a few months before his death. Professor Sachs explains how it can be a guide for peace today, during this very dangerous second Cold War. JFK stressed the crucial importance of diplomacy, the path which our current president explicitly rejects. Listen to Professor Sachs. His passion for this subject is infectious and compelling. If you care about the suffering of innocent Ukrainians, you owe it to them to listen to this.
