In an interview with the German magazine Stern, the former American foreign minister emphasized that if Moscow is treated as an outcast by Europe forever, sooner or later it will make it China's ally.
a German magazine , Kissinger said that in his opinion, "in fact, China is a cause for serious concern. I believe that China and the United States are two superpowers that have the potential to destroy humanity, and these capabilities are getting stronger every year. And all of this is complemented by artificial intelligence, which creates a form of warfare that no one has any experience with."
He added that in terms of American-Chinese relations, "we have two tasks. First, to be strategically strong, avoiding the dominance of another country. And secondly, this relationship must be handled in such a way that we do not end up in a situation like the Europeans before World War I, when they sleepwalked into a war".
The former US secretary of state continued to argue for dialogue with Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin. Kissinger emphasized that the war will end one day, and then the relationship between Ukraine and Russia will have to be redefined. He emphasized that the relationship between Europe and Russia will have to be redefined at the end of the war, as Russia remains an important factor in international relations. However, he warned, "if Russia were to break up, the chaos in Central Asia and the Middle East would create a series of new problems ."
Regarding Ukraine, Kissinger emphasized that "the Ukrainians behaved heroically and defend their freedom in a great way, but other countries also have their own historical and direct experiences and considerations, but these do not necessarily correspond exactly to the Ukrainian considerations. This is the essence of all politics". He added that achieving the final result is an open question and a matter of debate.
