Jeffrey Sachs: How did Europe become a complete vassal of the United States?


How did Europe become a complete vassal of the United States, which it is a little hard to understand? Partly it's the selection of the leaders which have to go through the US approval mill or they get pushed aside easily. Partly it is simple mechanics. If you have US military bases on your soil, you are an occupied country whether you like it or not. You have the CIA there. You have subversion. You have US direct political interference.  You are a semi-occupied country. 

But I have to just tell you how shocking it is to hear this. I was at the UN Security Council. I had been invited to testify about the war and then the UK and the US blocked me from testifying. This is par for the course. That's the least of it. 

But as I listened of all people, the Danish ambassador launched in to a tirade against Iran on the day that the US and Israel attacked Iran. She couldn't mention that Iran had been bombed or that 150 school girls had been murdered or that this was a violation of the UN charter, an unprovoked attack by Israel and the United States. She didn't even mention that. She just went into a tirade against Iran. 

This is the one that someday will turn to the UN and say, "How can you not help us with Greenland?" after the United States has invaded her country.

I went up to her afterwards to have a word. I wanted to point out that this is not safe for Denmark. She looked up from her notes, looked at me, turned around, and walked away.
