Talking International Politics in Germany
I was just in Berlin and on 1 November 2024, I appeared on Jasmin Kosubek’s popular podcast for a long interview about all sorts of subjects, to include the major hotspots in the world and the US presidential election and its consequences moving forward.
It’s amazing to me that we can make the trains run on time but we can’t stay out of wars.
Another way to put it is “Isn’t it mind boggling that we as a species have mastered very complicated things like making the trains run on time, successfully flying airplanes and going to the moon but we can’t figure out how to stay out of wars?”.
Staying out of wars is much easier than making a train run on time.
All you have to do is listen to John Mearsheimer and the people on his side of the fence.
Being stupid isn’t smart…
What a great interview, thank you!
