Meet Professor Jeffrey Sachs. This man was talking to the folks of Morning Joe and came out of nowhere to mention Obama, the CIA, and John Brennan. Sachs suggested that Obama put Brennan’s CIA in a position that would spark a ‘Syrian Civil War’ that eventually lead to the rise of ISIS.
I did some digging and it looks like Professor Jeffrey Sachs has been vocal about this since 2016. In August of 2026, he published an entry titled “America’s True Role in Syria” and it was critical of Obama and what he was, or wasn’t up to. It started off like this… and you can read the full entry here. The video of him saying things publicly is below the quote:
Syria’s civil war is the most dangerous and destructive crisis on the planet. Since early 2011, hundreds of thousands have died; around ten million Syrians have been displaced; Europe has been convulsed with Islamic State (ISIS) terror and the political fallout of refugees; and the United States and its NATO allies have more than once come perilously close to direct confrontation with Russia.
Unfortunately, President Barack Obama has greatly compounded the dangers by hiding the US role in Syria from the American people and from world opinion. An end to the Syrian war requires an honest accounting by the US of its ongoing, often secretive role in the Syrian conflict since 2011, including who is funding, arming, training, and abetting the various sides. Such exposure would help bring to an end many countries’ reckless actions.
