I’m no fan of Kissinger but he obviously knows what’s up when it comes to playing geopolitical games. This wasn’t an off the cuff remark he made, it was a serious warning.

Kissinger knew — and I emphasize KNEW, because his acumen for foreign policy was on the wane by 1980 — how to play the game, but that didn’t make him a master of it. You know, I assume, that Ronald Reagan pretty much saw Kissinger as a shameless self-promoter who loved the spotlight, but not much else?
