Jeffrey Sachs said NATO should stop expanding, calling the alliance’s existence after 1990 “preposterous” during a meeting of the Board of Governors of the BRICS New Development Bank in Moscow.
Sachs, a professor and director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, said that as a multilateral model of the world develops, it is necessary to stop the “residual wars of hegemony.” He added that accepting the development of multipolarity in the modern world should become a “peaceful root forward.”
In January, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also said that any “sense in preserving NATO has completely disappeared: The Alliance is an atavism, a relic of a past era,” arguing that it was created “to contain the USSR and its geopolitical allies.”
