#388 – Robert F. Kennedy Jr: CIA, Power, Corruption, War, Freedom, and Meaning

And I think there were two million people came into Bogota to see him, this vast crowd, and they were just delirious, cheering for him. And the president of Colombia, Jerez Carmargo, said to him, do you know why they love you? And my uncle said, why?

And we've spent $8 trillion on the Iraq war and its aftermath, the wars in Syria, Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan. And what do we get for that? We got nothing for that money, $8 trillion. We killed more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein.

Iraq today is much worse off than it was when Saddam was there, I'd say. It's an incoherent, violent war between Shia and Sunni death squads. We pushed Iraq into the embrace of Iran. It's now become essentially a proxy for Iran, which is exactly the outcome that we were trying to prevent for the past 20 or 30 years. We created ISIS. We sent 2 million refugees into Europe.

destabilizing all of the nations in Europe for generations. And we're now seeing these riots in France, and that's a direct result from the Syrian war that we created and our creation of ISIS. Brexit is another result of that. So for $8 trillion, we wrecked the world. And during that same period that we spent $8.1 trillion, bombing bridges, ports, schools, hospitals.

The Chinese spent $8.1 trillion building schools, ports, hospitals, bridges, and universities. And now the Chinese are out-competing us everywhere in the world. Everybody wants to deal with the Chinese because they come in, they build nice things for you, and there's no strings attached, and they're pleasant to deal with. And as a result of that, Brazil is switching to the Chinese currency.

Argentina is switching. Saudi Arabia, our greatest partner, we put trillions of dollars into protecting our oil pipelines there, and now they're saying, we don't care what the United States thinks. That's what Mohammed bin Salim said. He said, we don't... He dropped... oil production in Saudi Arabia in the middle of a US inflation spiral.
