the world. Included are warmongers in our (USA's) Fed Gov't.
Biden is one of the chief promoters of the "false narrative" described in this piece (which was posted in August of last year, & just as relevant today)---
Sachs is a well respected Professor, a promoter of world sustainability, & a negotiator for several countries (at different times during his career). As he points out, our foreign policy for at least the last 30 years has been overflowing with arrogance and danger to the world, and it mattered little whether Republicans or Democrats were in the Executive Branch. In general, such continues on presently. It's rarely opposed because Main Street is propagandized to the hilt, & few (in gov't or not) seem to have a sufficient grasp of modern history. And history matters.
You don't have to be a fan of Russia's Gov't or China's to call out our own egregious, empire-like hubris. We have just under 5% of the world's population, but our politicians (almost all in both Parties) appear to believe our Gov't should rule/police the entire world. Why? Supposedly because it's our duty to protect & spread democracy. What a bad joke! We don't even have democracy in our own country, not even a democratic republic anymore. What the USA has is a plutocracy and/or a corporatocracy and/or an oligarchy.
I challenge anyone to convince me the USA is a genuine, participatory democracy. Please don't say, "Because we get to vote in elections.". For several reasons, and as one of our corporatist Presidents once said (about something else), "That dog don't hunt.". 
Not only my opinion. Be Well
