Kissinger Warns "We Need A New World Order"; Ukraine Should Forget Crimea & NATO

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger spoke about global threats, the secession of Crimea and Ukraine's NATO accession

Mr. Kissinger said that there currently is an urgent need for a new world order, but its coming into being will be long and complicated.

"There are no universally accepted rules," said Mr. Kissinger in an interview with the German magazine Der Spiegel. "There is the Chinese view, the Islamic view, the Western view and, to some extent, the Russian view. And they really are not always compatible."

Speaking of Crimea’s accession to Russia, he noted that this is a special case, as Ukraine and Russia were one country for a long time. In his view, the West must recognize its mistakes.

"Europe and America did not understand the impact of these events, starting with the negotiations about Ukraine's economic relations with the European Union and culminating in the demonstrations in Kiev," said Mr. Kissinger. "All these, and their impact, should have been the subject of a dialogue with Russia."

He is sure that Ukraine has always had a special significance for Russia. Failure to understand this was fatal, and the Ukrainian authorities can forget about the Crimean peninsula.

"Nobody in the West has offered a concrete program to restore Crimea," said Mr. Kissinger. "Nobody is willing to fight over eastern Ukraine."

In his opinion, introducing anti-Russian sanctions was a mistake.

"We have to remember that Russia is an important part of the international system, and therefore useful in solving all sorts of other crises, for example in the agreement on nuclear proliferation with Iran or over Syria," Mr. Kissinger said. "This has to have preference over a tactical escalation in a specific case."

He added that Ukraine should not hope to become a member of NATO in the foreseeable future, as the alliance will never vote unanimously for the accession of Ukraine.

Our advice to Mr Kissinger - don't take any private jet flights out of Moscow anytime soon.

It sure looks like a beginning of a serious shift in policy regarding Russia.

And the fact that they got this cackling cadaver out to announce it only reinforce the point.

Kissinger wants a new world order. Ok he's got it. He and his kind control every aspect of my life and that of my people. What more - exactly - does he want?

Even Dear Henry sees the additional warp to Pax Americana that Reaganomics cum outsourcing cum neo-con hubris has put on the system. 

He saw the dangers of Nam plays (to which he greatly contributed in 1969-1972), but from which he backed away in Nixon's second term. The man has more balance, being a Metternichtian, than the neo-cons, who are unilateralists like Saint Louis or Charles V. 

Having initiated the petrodollar hegemony its clear to him the subsequent unilateral cavorting with Saud has now soured USA's vision of Oil diplomacy to the point its only got two rotten planks in the region to walk on : Israel; land of apartheid, and Saud; land of jihadist Wahhabites. 

Thats the legacy of the Bushist NWO. Two rotten planks for a sinking unilateral world order which has ME oil as its nexus in the current construct.

Better to own up before its too late like Dear Henry is now doing. As the Asian continent now looms as true challenger to "drowning in debt", consumerista  West. 

He is no more Dr Strangelove, the budding cold warrior from a Rockafella think tank;  he is no more Dear Henry, the Machiavellian presidential consigliere who sold his soul to the devil to become NSA boss, then State Secretary; he is is just a wandering Lear on the heath bemoaning a loss of past glory, a Lady Macbeth who fears Duncan's ghost looming behind every nook and cranny. 

At least he is still sane, the lights still function. And he has read Shakespeare. 

Have Obama or the Neo-cons of Congress read Don Quichotte or War and Peace ?

Wasn't Kissinger's idiot Paul Bremmer the one who had billions of dollars of Iraqi cash airlifted into the country immediately after the war? Most of which remains unaccounted for.

Not particularly a likeable guy this Kissinger but he is right. That is because he belongs to a class of people that remember what a world war entails while nowadays we are being run by people who have no clue and who are willing to take a shot -with our lives- at world peace.

Joe, you are right. I'm dissapointed with the average commentor here and elsewhere .

They just express old grudges without any reference to what he just said.

Sometimes the guy you love to hate is right.

I second the motion.  Kissingerian realism is a sight better than incessant neo-com warmongering.

Kissinger was also right back in in 1999 when NATO made Yugoslavia 'an offer they could not accept' over Kosovo, namely the condition that NATO troops would have unlimited and restricted access to all the territory of Yugoslavia effective meaning an occupation. But just like in 1914 the goal was that Serbia would not accept this ultimatum (nobody would) and that NATO would go to war ith YU. Which they did. But instead of lasting 48 hours as NATO expected it lasted 78 days and YU gave in only after NATO started flattening civilian infrastructure. Over a 1,000 civilians lost their lives, military losses still a secret and damages to society and economy worth tens of billions.

After that Serbia was kept in the doghouse by among others Germany. But they all get nervous now because Putin once of a sudden shows an interest in the Balkans. It truly sucks being geopolitically stratigcally positioned (and don't have nucleair weapons).

Here stands the phony, dual citizenship, fat face Kissinger, with his contrived, phony German accent enjoying his American freedom from criminal prosecution for war crimes and Treason to the American Constitution and the American People.

Why not go over to Malaysia and shoot your fat fascist mouth off Kissinger? There is an international war crimes committee awaiting you there. Oh, wait! Maybe after the downing of the two Malaysian civilian jet liners in retaliation for the war criminal indictments of the Bush regime, there probably will not be any more Malaysian war criminal indictments.

For once Kissinger is half right.  Yes Ukraine should forgety about Crimea and the eastern part of their country.  They should pack up their weapons and go home.  We do not however need a new world order.  We need to revert to the old world order.  You know the one.  It is the one with laws for everyone.  Budgets that were not infinite and dollars meant something.  That would be revolutionary.  Unfortunately most of the western world's political and financial leadership would be war criminals or financial criminals if that were to happen so it won't happen until the debt base system we have now explodes.

According to 'secret' State Department Cables obtained via Wikileaks, Kissinger assisted the People's Republic of China in shedding hundreds of billions of dollars of China's full faith and credit sovereign debt owed to foreign bondholders:

Nothing about the right of the people in Eastern Ukraine to be independent or autonomous of the NAZI/Jewish oligarch/US neocon puppet regime in Kiev though, eh?

Kissinger is a narcissist first, a Jewish Supremacist second, and an amoral warmonger 3rd.

 

And that's all he is.

 

I was never impressed with his intellect.  He's like someone who always wins at chess, but never has a lot of pieces at the end.

You don't need a NWO to solve a simple problem of trust.

You just need verification.

Simply give Russia a seat in NATO whether they choose to participate or not.  They'll get to hear about the exercises, and the member country's real concerns, rather than have to interpret them second or third hand.  They'll also get to exercise a veto if someone wants to join and they find it threatening.

Why not?

It is not like having this seat lets them read all the defense plans.

It is not like the Russian representative couldn't be kicked out of the room if real hostilities broke out (rather than propaganda, mistrust, and threats).

Just because they are not a member doesn't mean that you can't choose to treat them as though they were members.

NATO is more a collaborative defense treaty than a top-down directed pact - such as the Warsaw pact was.   Many in the Russian Defense establishment do not believe that.  So, fine.  Let them see first hand.

Yes, they could abuse the position for intelligence.  But the alternative is another Cold War potentially leading to a nuclear exchange. 

If we could do mutual nuclear verification inspections under the START treaty, then why can't we do something simple like this? 

Khodakorsky was already in the NATO headquarters reviewing possible exercises only a year ago.  Why not make such a position provisionally permanent?

Most Americans don't understand that a lot of their former leaders and government officials are not free to travel.They can be detained for various reasons and sent off to another foreign land to stand trial.Most are wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity.The reality is very similar to nazis from WW2 that were wanted and hunted down.Kissinger is still wanted for supporting fasist dictators in South America that killied tens of thousands.Right now Malaysia would like to cut the heads off of Cheney and Bush.I'd make it clean and fast by the old French method.

A New World Order wouldn't be that bad if it limited governmental power, much more than is the case now, to protecting individual rights, and if that limited power was derived from individuals to small groups; from small groups to slightly larger groups;  from slighly larger groups to larger groups, etc. rather than having some oligarchy at the top directing everyone on down. 

Unfortunately, those wanting a New World Order already have power and just want to wield it over everyone.
