Bureaucrat in Washington Bring The World to War

James West:    Okay. So it’s been suggested in other quarters that the Russian involvement in Syria is really a political tactic on their part to extract a favourable outcome in the form of tacit cooperation from the United States on their position in the Ukraine. In other words, the US would sort of turn a blind eye to what they’re doing in the Ukraine, if they extract a promise from Russia to get out of Syria. What do you think of that?

Jim Rogers:    Well, I mean, we can make all sorts of suggestions, and maybe so, but the problem is, and unfortunately, for all of us who are American, you know, we started this thing in Ukraine. You know, we started the thing in Syria. And now it’s costing us money and treasure, and perhaps lives, and I hope somebody can figure out a way to get out of both of these situations, because they’re madness in both cases, and it’s none of our business. Why is some bureaucrat in Washington, what was her name? Victoria Nuland? Bring the world to war and massive amounts of money and lives being lost? It’s beyond me, and now the fact that we’re getting involved in Syria is beyond me. Who cares? Let the bureaucrats fight amongst themselves if they want to, but don’t make us pay for it.
