Kissinger: Ukraine must give Russia territory

dukkha said:
Henry Kissinger has urged the West to stop trying to inflict a crushing defeat on Russian forces in Ukraine, warning that it would have disastrous consequences for the long term stability of Europe.

The former US secretary of state and architect of the Cold War rapprochement between the US and China told a gathering in Davos that it would be fatal for the West to get swept up in the mood of the moment and forget the proper place of Russia in the European balance of power.

Dr Kissinger said the war must not be allowed to drag on for much longer, and came close to calling on the West to bully Ukraine into accepting negotiations on terms that fall very far short of its current war aims.

“Negotiations need to begin in the next two months before it creates upheavals and tensions that will not be easily overcome. Ideally, the dividing line should be a return to the status quo ante. Pursuing the war beyond that point would not be about the freedom of Ukraine, but a new war against Russia itself,” he said.

He told the World Economic Forum that Russia had been an essential part of Europe for 400 years and had been the guarantor of the European balance of power structure at critical times. European leaders should not lose sight of the longer term relationship, and nor should they risk pushing Russia into a permanent alliance with China.

“I hope the Ukrainians will match the heroism they have shown with wisdom,” he said, adding with his famous sense of realpolitik that the proper role for the country is to be a neutral buffer state rather than the frontier of Europe.

Germany… Czechoslovakia… Lithuania… Poland. The prime minister was Neville Chamberlain of Britain. The aggressor was Adolf Hitler.

If the Ukraine surrenders territory, Putin will be emboldened, and look like a hero to Russians. They will do it again. When Czechoslovakia was forced to surrender the Sudetenland, the nation became unviable and broke up, becoming a German vassal. The Ukraine would be cut away until it, too, is unviable.

Putin said he wouldn’t invade… and did. It is more credible than not that Russia is committing atrocities.

An atrocious aggressor must not be appeased. We must learn from history, lest we be doomed to repeat it.

I personally have had nothing but good relations with Palestinians. The nice thing about being a Jew in America is we are not in competition with Palestinians in America for land.

In general, Muslims and Jews in America are very close, and have similar goals. The problems only start when we talk about Israel. Israel is not all that central to my life, so it really does not come up much with me.
