The West Warns Armenia of Danger: World-Renowned Jeffrey Sachs Here are some key takeaways from an interview conducted by my dear colleagues at 168. am with Professor Jeffrey Sachs—a world-renowned economist, Assistant to the UN Secretary-General, Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, President of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, and former advisor to the governments of Poland, Russia, Estonia, Slovenia, and other countries. We would advise those who speak on behalf of the West - without having a Western education, relevant experience, or the slightest understanding of international relations - to listen carefully. This man is the West. It is his advice that Western governments actually listen to. Question: How will the war in Iran affect the Caucasus region? And what about TRIPP - does it guarantee Armenia's security? Professor Sachs: Anyone getting involved with Mr. Trump right now needs to have their head examined. Go talk to Bahrain, Qatar, the Emirates, Saudi Arabia! Is it really a good idea? Ask them - did the US protect them? Does having a Trump project on your territory actually help you? It’s a crazy idea, and I’m sorry to be so blunt. STAY AWAY FROM AMERICAN WARS. This is not the business the Caucasus needs, so stay away. Stay safe, stay out of this madness. America is playing games with the rest of the world. The Caucasus is a magnificent, beautiful place with a thousand-year-old culture. Don't get dragged into American stupidity. Look at Trump yesterday—is that the kind of person you want to get involved with? You shouldn't. You need good relations within the Caucasus, as well as with Russia, Turkey, and Iran. You let the US in - and you're inviting war. Please, don't do this. The US doesn't care about a war on your territory. Look at Bahrain, Qatar, the Emirates. Trump said, "We’re leaving, and you guys figure it out yourselves." Question: Our authorities say that this agreement guarantees Armenia's existence for 100 years. Professor Sachs: That is very sad. Very sad, very, very sad. First of all, Armenia needs to exist for thousands of years - Armenia has already existed for thousands of years. Armenia will not find security by getting involved with Donald Trump. Please, take a serious look at yesterday's speech and just ask yourself—is this your partner? You have to draw your own conclusion, but I'll give you my opinion: the answer is no. And I already told the Gulf leaders this a few months ago: do not trust this, you will undermine your economy and your security. The United States is currently a rogue state. What kind of partner talks about bombing Iran back to the Stone Age? Do you realize how risky this is, and yet you think the US is deeply committed to Armenia's security? Are you kidding? Among non-Armenian Americans, there are barely five people who know where Armenia is, and that includes Donald Trump. He doesn't know, and he doesn't care. If your authorities are telling you that signing on to some "Trump highway" is security - oh my god! Come to your senses, please, pay attention! That is not security. Do not get dragged into American geopolitical games. Please, you are too beautiful and too vulnerable a country to get tangled up in American geopolitical games. Every day I repeat Henry Kissinger's famous quote: "To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal." Please take note of this, be careful. And anything branded "Trump" or "Trumpian" is, in and of itself, a sign that you have likely miscalculated.

Which regime?

The Strait of Hormuz will be controlled by me and the Ayatollah😎😁

BREAKING: Tzvika Fogel, Chairman of the Knesset’s National Security Committee and a member of the far-right Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party, is blatantly lying about his encounter with Armenians in Jerusalem’s Armenian Quarter. “I was surrounded by 15 Armenians. They threatened my life and my health, and within two minutes ten Border Police officers arrived,” said MK Tzvika Fogel. You can watch the footage in its entirety where you can clearly see the arrival of MK Fogel, with the Police already present, and not a single Armenian surrounding him nor threatening his life. Furthermore, he mentions that the parking lot in question is public. This is also wrong: there is a sign at the entrance which very clearly states, in 3 languages, that the parking lot is private property. Mr. Fogel owes the Armenian community of Jerusalem an apology.

Gaza is rubble. Syria is a war zone. Libya is a failed state. Iraq is in tatters. Iran is being bombed. Australians are being jailed. Brits are being jailed. Americans are being censored, debanked, and deplatformed. This is how Jews coexist with the people around them.

An oligarch fabricates evidence. His newspapers blame a foreign country. His government launches a war before anyone can investigate. They steal everything. This playbook is 128 years old today. February 15, 1898: the USS Maine explodes in Havana Harbor. Before any investigation, Hearst's New York Journal prints fabricated blueprints of "secret Spanish torpedoes" that never existed. He publishes a $50,000 reward for proof Spain did it. He floods the papers with fake atrocity propaganda to vilify Spain. He refuses to print a single Spanish source. The Spanish investigation that concluded it was an internal accident? Blacked out. The cameraman filming the wreckage arrives... on Hearst's private yacht. The oligarch selling the war produces the visual evidence. The Maine's own commander Cpt. Sigsbee cables Washington: don't jump to conclusions until we investigate. Hearst's presses drown him out. Ten weeks later: invasion of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Philippines, Guam. The following week, Hearst runs a front page headline taking credit: "How do you like the Journal's war?" 78 years later, the U.S. Navy quietly confirms it was an internal explosion. No Spanish mine. No torpedo. Just a fake news pretext and an empire built on it. Maine. Lusitania. Tonkin. Nayirah. 9/11. They never stopped running this play, they just upgraded the cameras.

Honored to receive the Zayed Award for Human Fraternity together with President Aliyev in recognition of the peace agreement between Armenia & Azerbaijan. Grateful to the Judging Committee, to His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan & to all who supported this path.

In Davos, on the margins of the #WorldEconomicForum2026 Forum, honoured to participate in the meeting of the Board of Peace and the solemn signing of its Charter. Armenia’s engagement in this format reflects our continued commitment to lasting peace and international cooperation.

Donald Trump just completely fractured his base. And he did it for the very neocons who minted the #NeverTrump movement. Truly unbelievable.
