Henry Kissinger: the West has no strategy

Moscow saves the Middle East from a nuclear catastrophe

Henry Kissinger, who, from my point of view, still remains the wisest foreign policy analyst in the world, published in the Wall Street Journal an article entitled “How to save the Middle East from collapse” (A path out of Middle East Collapse). Today it is carefully analyzed around the world. The key idea of ​​the article: “If nuclear weapon will be fixed (in the Middle East), a catastrophic outcome will be almost inevitable. "

Obama and Europe have just handed Iran the key to making nuclear weapons. Saudi Arabia is trying to find a supplier willing to sell her nuclear weapons. Pakistan sells it. Have we not already entered the territory of the “inevitable catastrophe”?

Henry Kissinger: the West has no strategyOur crazy liberals swept through this cemetery to protect Obama. But the next president will not have such a chance. Putin recently said that “some American officials have a mess instead of brains,” and these are not just insults.

At the beginning of his article, Kissinger writes about the collapse of the balance of power in the Middle East. And since he writes with long and complex sentences, it makes sense to focus on some of his basic ideas.

1. "With the arrival of Russia in Syria, that geopolitical structure that has existed for four decades collapsed."

2. Four Arab states have ceased to function: Libya, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. All of them are at risk of being captured by ISIS, which seeks to become a global caliphate living under Sharia law.

3. The United States and the West need a thought-out strategy. Now we do not have it.

4. To consider Iran as a normal state is to take what is desired. Over time, it can become such a state. But today, Iran "has embarked on the path leading to Armageddon."

Israel, like most countries of the world, was caught up in the maelstrom, which is why Russia went on an unprecedented military intervention in Syria. Putin defends primarily Russia.

5. “As long as ISIS exists and continues to control the geographically defined territory, it will maintain tensions in the Middle East ... The destruction of ISIL is a more urgent matter than the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad.”

6. "The United States has already allowed Russian military participation in these events." (Vladimir Putin proposed to create a new alliance of Russia and the West on the model of an alliance from the Second World War.)

Given the general lack of political will in the West, such an alliance can produce good results on the condition of Putin’s strategic transparency.

Kissinger did not mention this, but Putin watched the jihadist forces at its southern borders move closer and closer to nuclear weapons. Putin climbed to the top, fighting Chechen jihadists, in a ruthless Russian manner. Today, thousands of Chechens joined the ranks of ISIS in Iraq and Syria, and soon these people may well return to Russia or Chechnya.

Imagine that thousands of fanatical suicide bombers were on your borders, and you will understand how Moscow assesses the current situation.

Conclusion: to avoid a catastrophe of a hot nuclear race in the Middle East, we need an effective alliance of the West and Russia, which, perhaps, will save the world.

    The West has no brains. Recently. It is enough to look at the questions and answers at press conferences ("-what is your evidence?" "-I saw it on the Internet!"). Exclusivity no longer works, the school of competent diplomats and competent intelligence does not work, unfortunately, patients possess nuclear and other types of weapons of mass destruction. And we must admit that it is still an international currency as an instrument of pressure. And they have one strategy, for the collapse of Russia. Does not change, no matter how disguised.

        Kissinger is so much our enemy that he will never see clearly NEVER!
        However, Henry belongs to the very top of the World Pr-va. and he is so old and wise that he is allowed to say EVERYTHING!
        And rightly so: how else will the World Pr-in convey to everyone what it wants - that’s what they attract to their side millions of rotary freebie liberals who don’t realize that they reveal their tasks to them GLOBAL, but at the same time they are not at all interested in the fate of countries, peoples and states.
        And we definitely need to know their goals and objectives not for years, not for decades, but for centuries, so that we can build our strategies against adversaries.
        And in this, old Henry really helps really smart people make the right and long-range decisions.
        And what Russia is doing in BV is really a BASIC decision.

          Less attention should be paid to chatter, more to business. And on business, the West conserves the conflict in Ukraine, until better times. He continues to advance weapons to our borders, and Russia needs him to get out to his mother.

      The West has so many brains that it’s enough to hide their presence. If only politicians are taken into account, this may be partly true. But the West is controlled not by politicians, but by the interests of the global financial mafia.

      Well old man Kissinger from an old American cohort of politicians. And to deny him the presence of common sense is impossible as it is. And it has always been like that, just when he was the Secretary of State he had to broadcast and defend the American point of view with reason, this is normal. Another thing, now he is freed from this work obligation and can speak more freely.
      But the new American "leaders", at least, are very far from Kissinger's level.
      Hence, all this madness and hysteria that we are now observing request

        I see the situation a little differently. To date, a confrontation has begun in the United States between the conservatives, whom Kissinger also represents, and the neocons that are in power.
        Neocons who are accustomed to operating in a unipolar world cannot flexibly respond to changing international situations. They just do not know how.
        At the same time, Kissinger, Carter and other politicians of the Cold War era are well aware of the importance of compromise in politics and are able to negotiate.
        And the lack of argumentation in the current US administration is also a consequence of a quarter century of sole world leadership. Well, they didn’t need argument before. They also wanted to do what they wanted, without any arguments.

    Kissinger has interesting remarks. The fact that the fight against Isil is a priority for the whole world is true.
    Only in the heads of state and EU politicians is there really porridge, having embarked on the path of economic colonization of the world, ignoring the methods of achieving the goal, they threaten the existence and development of our civilization, which is nuclear war, the spread of terrorism.
    Instead of wise, measured steps, the United States demonizes Russia, which does not engage in the conquest of the world, but only wants to live in a civilized world that respects the rules of good-neighborly existence of different countries.
    The West does not have an understanding of how dangerous the chosen method of achieving the goals of American superiority is.

    There are brains in the West, but it’s tense with the mind, unfortunately. The fact that Kissinger says sensible things is a consequence of his non-participation in US government policy. When he was secretary of state at negotiations with the USSR Foreign Minister Gromyko, he almost reached a fight, literally at the negotiating table. But when all these Western ministers and secretaries of state resign, their minds start to appear in an amazing way.

    Why, brains are quite there. You just need to understand that the interests of large corporations are not the same as the interests of the people who make them up. There is a different logic. So there are brains, they are simply aimed precisely at unleashing a nuclear meat grinder.
    This is precisely the political goal.

    The wise American Kissinger yearned for an alliance between the West and Russia.

    Well, well, but before that, grandfather could speak more definitely, and not darken, for example:

    1. Four Arab states ceased to function: Libya, Syria, Iraq and Yemen

    Are they tired of functioning themselves, or who helped to stop them?

    2. Israel was drawn into a whirlpool, and that is why Russia went on an intervention in Syria

    That is, Russia, through the whistle of Israel drawn into the whirlpool, went for intervention? And who twisted the whirlpool and for what purpose?

    3. To consider Iran a normal state means to wishful thinking.

    So, when the Americans ruled Iran before 1979, everything was fine there, and when the American ayatollahs were thrown out of Iran, it became a shame, right, and Iran became crazy, is that so?

    4. we need an effective alliance between the West and Russia

    They need it. When the smell of fried smelled a little, the Americans needed an alliance with Russia, just what will Russia do in the alliance, will you drag chestnuts from the fire, for the sake of patting the shoulder and hearing "rus, peace, friendship, chewing gum, tum balalaika, karasho"?

    At least that in exchange he suggested, an old man, for example, Ukraine, otherwise he strives for free ...

    Henry Kissinger is of course a lump and a clever guy. But whose? He spent all his life and whitewashed and argued that America’s policies and decisions are correct and exclusive. In this article, or rather in its translation, author James Lewis evaluates and draws conclusions from his understanding of these theses of an elderly diplomat. Therefore, the article is minus, but this opinion is presented to the population USA and here Kissenger plays the same tune with the Pentagon hawks. So Iran is bad, Libya, Iraq, Syria are no longer there, the mess is complete, we are not to blame, but without the union of Russia and the USA, it’s impossible to fix the situation.
    This is called a rollback behind the scenes. When the main bearer of the Nobel Peace Prize, Bardak Huseynovich has no right to say, they won’t understand, those close to the authorities begin to whitewash and mitigate the actions and decisions of their bearers of the people's will.

      America wanted everything in its own way. Now the behavior of the United States gives schizophrenia. The fight against terrorism, along with its support, or for the sake of the overthrow of the tyrant Gaddafi, tear

    Kissinger, like Brzezinski, is an old and seasoned enemy. Their whole life was devoted to the destruction of the Soviet Union. Without the Soviet Union, their life lost its meaning. If Russia becomes as strong as the USSR and takes its place, these old coyotes will be happy. And then they will try to cling to us with their false teeth.
