US Hegemony, Not Maduro, Is Global Threat: Top US Economist To NDTV | Read

Economist, United Nations advisor and Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs has warned that the United States' latest actions against Venezuela reflect a long-standing foreign policy doctrine centered on attempting regime changes in other countries.

Sachs told NDTV that the US security state is behind around 100 attempted regime changes since the end of World War 2, including through wars, coups, deliberately instigated unrest to overthrow governments, stringent economic sanctions, assassination, bribing militaries to take over governments, and arresting officials or encouraging it. "It is against international and US law. It almost never works in the sense of delivering a stable government, much less a government good for the people. Most of the time, it leads to chaos," he said.
