Rogers : War in Ukraine is Possible


Let’s move on briefly to one of the issues making headlines: Ukraine. Markets have largely shrugged off that issue. Is there a chance that they’re wrong and this could turn into a deeper crisis?


Jim Rogers : Well, of course. You go back and look at the history of war – people make mistakes. Country “A” makes a mistake and then country “B” makes a mistake, and all of a sudden, you have people at war. In 1914 for instance, within 6-8 months of the war beginning, people all over the world, including Europe, were saying: “How did we get into this?” That was because it was so absurd what was going on. And yet they didn’t manage to end the war until four years later.
That’s often how things start. It could happen in Ukraine, but I doubt it. The US and EU don’t seem interested in engaging in a war over Ukraine. But you never know. Throughout history people have bungled themselves into wars even though nobody really wanted them.
