Kissinger's comments were about as far from realpolitik as you can get. I wasn't sure what country he was talking about. Ukraine has been losing population since 1990, as people leave in droves, especially young people. It's army has lost at least 100K troops KIA, with probably as many too wounded to return to battle. He seems to think that Russia could trust the west to live up to the terms of any negotiated agreement. The old man is completely full of it.
patriot missile defense systems inside ukraine will be cued (nothing from the soviet era will talk to patriot) by 'aegis ashore' in poland and rumania.
a significant escalation which would justify targeting those trojan horses installed by the neoliberal consortium to rule the world.
Maybe Kissinger’s concept of the Russian Constitution is guided by our elites’ concept of the American Constitution—a document that is to be supported when convenient to their intentions and ignored when it is not?
Realpolitik is one way to describe Kissinger, duplicitous is another. I’m still old enough to remember how he got us out of Vietnam. “Peace with dignity” was the cry, but the reality was an agreement that gave South Vietnam to the commies in a bargain for some pullout time to mask a rout of epic proportion. Note that South Vietnam without direct American support lasted only a bit longer than the American puppet government in Afghanistan.
You could be a bit more Garland Nixon here, but allow me....
Russia ain't going nowhere, except if we all go to hell together...east and west.
So Kissinger, he is a war criminal. Chile.
His opinion is pointless and worthless except for your polite critique.
But being polite misses a lot of the points you frequently have made elsewhere for which I thank you kindly.
Kissinger should be in jail, and his opines left to the warden as complaints.
Clearly he is as wrong as that awful bad actor elenskies who claimed to have had the west including newkraine nUkraine having won the battle for the minds of people around the world.... Who wrote that shit?
Tucker calls him strip club manager, that is polite.
I'd be less polite about elenskies , the man who sold the world, and Kissinger the ugly dude with the lousy mind....and no hearts anywhere amongst them men.
Well, yes to a point. IIRC, the North had already broken the peace accord and were on the move into the South. I remember seeing videos of their columns. US Congress refused to provide aid ($$$), but really that was not going to help. All that would help was US Air Power and carpet bombing of the columns of NV regulars. Hell, the were marching in the open with military vehicles—including heavy tanks. We abandoned SV plain and simple, as we have abandoned every nation that has sided with us since Korea.
Dear Scott, Following your latest rant against General Petraeus on Judge Napolitano show, with this article exposing the flaws or bias of Kissinger’s analysis, you are becoming an increasingly credible voice, albeit not a widely accepted one in the West. Your determination to be heard and your fearlessness to tell the truth as you see it is remarkable.
You are one of the most knowledgeable and articulate person sharing his views about this conflict.
It seems however, that to your own admission, you are not an expert in economics. This leads you to believe that, for no reasons, the politicians of the West are blindly pursuing an attack on Russia that could equate to an existential threat. There are economic reasons why the West, and especially the U.S, have felt since at least 2008 that the Russia of Mr. Putin poses an existential threat to the West. In short, the capacity to undermine the hegemony of the USD is what is making Russia an existential threat to the West. This reality is very concerning because humanity is the obvious collateral damage in the collision that neither side seems to be capable of altering the course.
Totally off-thread, but your cough worries me. Don't know what advices you are getting, but I'll bet that some of them suggest vitamins. In particular a friend of mine introduced me to Vitamin C in 1966. Has done well by me since then. I eat 500 mg per day, but that much several times per day when under threat during cold weather. Given a cough like yours, I'd take 500 every 2 hours or so.
OK actually I started off, surprised that Kissinger would talk about peace. And then, with excellent power of pen and keyboard, Scott lured me in to see that Kissinger has behaved just like Kissinger always behaves. Such a Rasputin and Kissinger is.
Kissinger is only the mechanical rabbit. The pt of The Spectator piece was not the literal; but, to signal the Kremlin a willingness to negotiate. To concur in the etiology and actual facts on the ground would amount to a willingness to surrender and accept Russia's long-standing terms. Naturally Washington has to open with a maximalist posture only slightly altering the tone toward diplomat-ese. Likely, back-channel tentatives are already being conveyed via the Vatican.
Scott Ritter is still banned on Twitter – WHY ?!?! Scott Ritter’s famous tweet below (April 6, 2022).
“The Ukrainian National Police committed numerous crimes against humanity in Bucha. Biden, in seeking to shift blame for the Bucha murders to Russia, is guilty of aiding and abetting these crimes. Congratulations America…. We’ve created yet another Presidential war criminal !!”
It will get worse - Europe is about to get poorer as the NeoConns in the US, who run the Biden Administration and NATO, are hell-bent on destroying Russia. The 100,000+ dead Ukrainians will be insignificant once more and more EU countries are told to respond. Poland will be first? And all the time the energy crisis in Europe gets worse, the economies tank.........and the US remain geographically and economically distant.
Europe is well and truly getting shafted.
Listen to Senator Lindsey Graham - he's a fucking madman. These are the people that are initiating WW3.

His proposal was simply a guarded threat to break Russia up into pieces.

I want to hear the full Scott Ritter peace plan. I think many in DC follow you.

Yes, as in the Vietnam War Henry Kissinger did not have a realistic appraisal of the human situation either.
War is about the collective will of people to determine their future.
The consequences were horrific.
He’s up to his old tricks and keeping true to form at 99.
Bravo Scott an OUTSTANDING article !!
