Renowned economist Jeffrey Sachs sharply criticized U.S. foreign policy, calling the much-touted “rules-based order” a myth and accusing Washington of pursuing decades-long regime-change tactics driven by military and intelligence institutions rather than constitutional governance. Speaking after his UN Security Council testimony on Venezuela, Sachs described the U.S. capture of Venezuela’s leader as a violation of international law and highlighted the strategic motives tied to ideology and oil. He warned that Iran could be the next target, potentially provoking a far more dangerous global conflict, and urged BRICS nations to uphold international law. (PC: India Today)
