The globalists of the World Economic Forum are meeting at Davos to plan the future world order -- the world’s elites meet there annually to tell the rest of us how we should live our lives under their guidance and tutelage.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke to the would-be philosopher kings (and queens) and received a standing ovation for his courageous defiance of Russian aggression. But the speaker who should have received the greatest applause was Henry Kissinger, who at the age of 98 still understands how the world works better than most of his fellow global elites.
In contrast to Zelensky’s Churchillian rhetoric, Kissinger stated that “Parties should be brought to peace talks within the next two months.” “Ukraine,” he said, “should have been a bridge between Europe and Russia, but now, as the relationships are reshaped, we may enter a space where the dividing line is redrawn and Russia is entirely isolated.” This development, Kissinger warned, was pushing Russia into the arms of China, though he phrased it more delicately -- Russia, he said, will “seek a permanent alliance elsewhere.” Kissinger, after all, was one of the architects of President Nixon’s brilliant policy of exploiting the Sino-Soviet rivalry in the 1970s to America’s benefit.
Kissinger called for a return to the status quo ante in Eastern Europe, not the defeat of Russia. Ukrainians, he said, need to “match the heroism that they have shown in war with wisdom for the balance in Europe and the world at large.” This is Kissinger at his Metternichean best, revisiting old but still valid concepts he wrote about in one of his first books, A World Restored, that analyzed the way early 19th century statesmen reconfigured the balance of power in Europe after the Napoleonic wars.

Keep swinging, Henry.
Yea, he’s amazing. And it looks like he went beyond the Western Media, and the Neocons, to find out the REAL CAUSES of this war (hint, nothing to do with Ukraine).
Fossil globalist- who engineered the ignoring of Vietnam Veterans left behind from the Paris Peace Talks. He should rot in hell, and will if he has one.
Recall- he refused to participate in the Russia Russia investigation (and thus screwing with Trump’s obvious defense of-— zero truth to it), because—”it would compromise the business client relationships he has with “parties” to the accusation. Meaning the SOB’s relationship with the wrong part of Mossad, Epstein operation and yes, Putinista oligarchs the world over. This a@@ is a fat out of date greedy lying bastard. Nixon knew what he had in this moil.
Adrenechrome is a hell of a drug.
Henry knows stuff.
For sure! Kissinger is responsible for the murder of millions of people by Pol Pot/Khmner Rouge.
How did Elizabeth Holmes fool Kissinger? He was a board member of Theranos, so it seems he didn’t know how that part of the worlded worked.
If you ever want a simmering conflict to explode into all out war, Kissinger is your man.
Question Kissinger’s moral compass all you like. I’ll join you in that.
His intelligence and his competence however I do not question. Compare him to the imbeciles in the Brandon administration and the Deep State right now. Even at 98, that’s no contest. Kissinger can still run rings around those dunces.
Kissinger is what John Mearsheimer called a “19th century thinker.” He didn’t mean it as a slur - he meant that he recognized that other national powers have interests and red-lines as well. Diplomacy (and war) is recognizing those interests, what is negotiable, and what will be fought over.
Its common sense thinking, although it too can become too reactionary.
He contrasts that with post-modern, 20th century ideological thinking - both of marxists, and US neocons. They do not recognize other countries and peoples have interests - for them, it is everything in the service of their ideology.
The timing of Kissinger coming forward with his realist perspective coincidently happens just after approval of that $40 billion, which I don’t think was accidental. The corrupt grifters had to have their payoff before conceding that perhaps it might be wiser to negotiate an end to this thing rather than allow it to ramp up and risk the prospect of a nuclear exchange.
They know voters on both the right and left have criticized sending such a huge amount when we have such economic problems at home, with European economies being in an even worse position than us. There’s already indications that some EU leaders are getting wet feet over the decision to cut off Russian energy. It’s hard to say for sure how all of this will play out, but you can probably expect the left to come up with another manufactured crisis in the fall just in time to influence the midterms.
Sgt. Henry A. Kissinger was an arrogant authoritarian from his earliest days. He may have had a God-like working view of global matters but he was no team player.
They mention his recent work on the 19th century which I have but have not yet read. It explores territory covered in “Metternich: Strategist and Visionary” by Wolfram Siemann which is one of the best biographies and studies of that era that I have ever read. If they ending of the Napoleonic era and Metternich are at all interesting to anyone, this is a truly dense and wonderful study.
I was just going to say that he probably has that on tap at home.
The 19th century was Europe being ruled by a bunch of inbred blue-bloods, who all thought alike, didn’t care about the lives or dreams of what they saw as lesser men and were firmly in charge of everything. To pass the time they played their games of wars and machinations.
This is not the world we live in anymore. Theories that *might* explain that world of the past are not so useful anymore.
