  1. 8:30 As to the "stupidity" of American Foreign Policy. What's stupid about America obstructing a successful transition to a genuinely Syrian government? Presumably its intention is to install its own puppet government - because Power and Money are the same thing (each follows from the other). It's egregiously harmful and immoral, but not stupid. P.S. Kudos are due to the Russians for their evacuations.

  2. 8:30 The "stupidity" of American Foreign Policy. As I gathered life experience I eventually stumbled on a truth about other peoples' gross stupidity. More often than not it's not stupidity at all; it's simply that their objectives and values aren't what you assumed. The same applies to organizations. If your thinking hasn't calcified it's a learning opportunity for you about the other party.

  3. 28:30 "The notion of an American oligarch trying to select the leadership of various democracies ..." Notable how you explicitly limit your concern to democracies. It implies that you have no problem with trying to select the leadership of non-democracies. Why not? Also notable that you limit your concern to direct interference by oligarchs. Because US oligarchs have been hand-in-glove with US governments for many decades. Over that time they have routinely interfered in the leadership of foreign governments, some democracies, some not, the only difference being that the oligarchs have been one-step-removed from the interference. However they have profited from it immensely. Mostly Trump is just removing the veneer or making it more transparent. It's almost as if you've been brainwashed not to think about what lies beneath the veneer - every time you get too close you kind of glide off it.
