At a lecture hosted by the Economic Society of Singapore, economist Jeffrey Sachs delivered a powerful critique of Western policy toward the Ukraine war, arguing that the conflict could have been avoided through diplomacy and restraint. Sachs claims the U.S. and NATO ignored decades of warnings about eastward expansion, fueling a geopolitical confrontation with devastating human costs. Calling the war a “tragedy of arrogance,” he urged world leaders to prioritize dialogue, multipolar cooperation, and peace over provocation.
