During his run for the presidency in 1976, Ronald Reagan alluded to Kissinger's remark to Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, made around 1971, that "the day of the Soviet Union has arrived," and that Washington should be satisfied with being "second place" behind Moscow. It seems like the Mid-Century Metternich was rather bearish on America at this time.

Another vindication for Ronnie the Great. I never could stand Kissinger.
