Professor Jeffrey Sachs from Columbia University in the United States has stated that contemporary wars have essentially become costless for Western politicians because they themselves are "very safe and far away." He made the remarks in an interview with Professor Glenn Diesen from the University of South-Eastern Norway. Wars have become remote operations similar to video games. He emphasized that Europeans oppose wars and yearn for peace, believing that politicians can't represent their own interests. However, the politicians are filled with bravado and strategic delusions. #GoodPoint
