Jim Rogers : Putin seems to have outsmarted Obama



SS: Jim Rogers, renowned investor, businessman, author, welcome to the program, great to have you with us. We’re going to start with sanctions, the West is busy with them, coming up is a new round for Russia – but Russia, meanwhile, has made a historic 30 year gas deal with China. How painful do you think the consequences could be for Europe and US?
 
Jim Rogers  : Well, I will have to say that Washington seems to be making one mistake after another and I don’t like saying it, since I’m an American citizen, but, you know, America is driving China and Russia together – America is driving Russia more and more to Asia… That cannot be good for America but they still keep making mistakes in Washington.




SS: So you’re saying the US and Europe unwillingly pushed Russia and China together?
 
Jim Rogers : Unfortunately America seems to have really bungled this whole thing very badly. As you know, they’ve tried to instigate a coup in Ukraine against an elected government, and they did that somewhat successfully, but then they didn’t think through the consequences. Mr. Putin seems to have outsmarted us, Putin now is in control of Crimea, which Russians have controlled for many decades, so that’s not so unusual – what’s unusual is that America didn’t think through what they were doing, they seem to just react on a day-to-day basis, so now… Crimea is part of Russia, the Russians have more and more allies in Asia. I’m afraid America just didn’t think it through, they’ve bungled, they’ve acted on a day-to-day basis, and they’ve reacted to events instead of looking to the future and controlling events. Mr. Putin seems to have outsmarted Mr. Obama.- in RT.com

Rogers on India and The Gold Market



ET Now: When we talk about gold, the industry here has very strong expectations from the new government. How would you look at India easing curbs on gold imports?

 
Jim Rogers : I have read about those changes, but I did not think that they were terribly significant maybe because I am too simple-minded to understand them. But if India really opens up its gold markets again, that would of course be very good for the world and certainly the gold world and people interested in it.
However, I did not see that particular change as being very significant and as you know, people have been smuggling gold into India anyway. So I am not sure if it is going to do much more than just offset some of that smuggling. - in Economic Times
