Consider the source: old Mr. Kissinger.
I know who he is. I know that he helped open up China.
At the time he did, it was an ace in the hole for us, as it played off the most populace nation on the planet, against a clear nuclear threat.
China was a closed society before that. It would take months for intel to get out. We didn’t know what was going on inside. Opening up the Bamboo Curtain was good.
It’s what took place around 1992, that took us down the road to where we are today. That was terrible policy, but it took place twenty years after Kissinger and Nixon made their move.
Twenty-two years later, and the subsequent leaders of the day, have gifted us with a serious well-financed global threat.
Kissinger opened the door. It’s those who walked through it that really jeopardized planetary safety.
