Henry Kissinger: Realism in Foreign Policy

Whatabout Mao Zedong? Kissinger says that Mao would frequently inject Confucian sayings into their negotiations. The other surprise from On China is that Kissinger has been visiting China regularly ever since 1971. "The Chinese people never forget their old friends, and Sino-U.S. relations will always be linked with the name of Henry Kissinger." Problem is, of course, that the foreign policy establishment is all-in on a Wilsonian foreign policy, bless its heart. That is why, almost a century before Kissinger's foreign policy service, Lord Salisbury conducted British foreign policy out of his back pocket and usually bypassed the British Foreign Office, according to Andrew Roberts in Salisbury: Victorian Titan. The one thing negative thing about Henry Kissinger is that he mentored WEF maven Klaus Schwab. One fine day, I pray, we'll see a smart Jewish kid like Kissinger come out of the woodwork and dig the economy out of the climate crisis the way that PFC Kissinger got Krefeld sorted in 1945.
