Paul Craig Roberts on U.S. Foreign Policy

Paul Craig Roberts on the appointment of former NEWSMAX host Sebastian Gorka to Senior Director of Counter-Terrorism: "He's appointed every warmonger you can think of. How can you get peace when your government is composed up of warmongers? These people are worse than neoconservatives.

If these are Trump appointees, it's over with. It's insanity. It convinces me there's no hope in the Trump administration. You know it looks worse than the Biden idiots - I didn't think anybody could be as crazy as they are. How can you have a Secretary of State and a National Security Advisor, who, despite the Russian government telling you, you send missiles into Russia you're at war with us - then they go ahead and send the missiles!

This is insanity. No sane person could make that decision.

Two people decide to take the West to war with Russia.

Who do they think they are? They're playing with the lives of humanity.

This is beyond evil. It's so sick and vile."

Newsmax TV host Sebastian Gorka, who was permanently banned from YouTube for spreading disinformation about the 2020 presidential election, will be returning to the Trump White House as senior director for counterterrorism.

Dialogue Works: "What's the change in Washington? Who's going to change it?"

Paul Craig Roberts: "No one is going to change it. I think once it's clear to Putin that no one's going to change it, he's run out of patience. The western world is not a military match for Russia, China, Iran. It's hopeless.

Putin could probably wipe out the United States before the missiles could be fired.

These new missiles could be fired from subs off the coast - in one or two minutes there wouldn't be any American ICBMs left.

It's like I said, these people are insane. They don't accept reality. They're lost in lies, in myths, they think they're invincible. There's a huge amount of hubris and arrogance - it's incomprehensible."

Dialogue Works: "What we can hope on is Donald Trump's ability to fire people."

Paul Craig Roberts: "What they're going to do is convince him that he has to be the tough guy, and it's the tough guy who wins the argument. Trump already thinks that - you know, the Art of the Deal.

His excuse for appointing people who are hostile to our opponents is that it intimidates the opponents; it makes them more readily come to a deal.

Well if he thinks its going to initimidate Putin, he's crazy; or China, or Iran for that matter. It's not going to happen.

It's just going to get the world blown up. We're all going to be blown up because of these idiots. These criminally insane, sick, vile people who are playing Russian roulette with nuclear weapons.

When Blinken and Sullivan gave the go-ahead for the missiles to be fired into Russia, no one said Hey look, what are you doing? Committing the world to nuclear war?

No one protested two, low-grade morons starting a war with Russia."
