As The Telegraph's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard reports, Kissinger's comments came amid growing signs that the Western coalition against Vladimir Putin is fraying badly as the food and energy crisis deepens, and that sanctions may have reached their limits.“I hope the Ukrainians will match the heroism they have shown with wisdom,” Kissinger warned an audience at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, 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.
The architect of the détente with China under the Nixon administration suggested that 'status quo' ante means "how things were before," implying that Ukraine should accept a peace deal to restore the situation on February 24, where Russia formally controlled the Crimea peninsula and informally controlled part of the Donetsk region in east Ukraine.“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.
Financial Times: The Biden administration is framing its grand geopolitical challenge as being democracy versus autocracy. I’m picking up an implicit hint that it's the wrong framing?
Henry Kissinger: We have to be conscious of the differences of ideology and of interpretation that exists. We should use this consciousness to apply it in our own analysis of the importance of issues as they arise, rather than make it the principal issue of confrontation, unless we are prepared to make regime change the principal goal of our policy. I think given the evolution of technology, and the enormous destructiveness of weapons that now exist, [seeking regime change] may be imposed on us by the hostility of others, but we should avoid generating it with our own attitudes.
...
We are now [faced] with technologies where the rapidity of exchange, the subtlety of the inventions, can produce levels of catastrophe that were not even imaginable.
But there’s almost no discussion internationally about what would happen if the weapons actually became used.
My appeal in general, on whatever side you are, is to understand that we are now living in a totally new era, and we have gotten away with neglecting that aspect
Ubabe uwo unaouongelea haupo kwenye karne hii siyo kama Putin hana roho mbaya kama unavyofikiria, akisema awe cruel dunia itamtenga na urusi siyo kisiwa awawez ku survive kama dunia itamtengaOrigachi mmoja wa kirusi aishie UK, aliiambia UK baada ya kushikilia mali zake kuwa "ni ujinga pekee kufikiri kuwa maorigachi wa kirusi wanaweza kuzuia mikakati ya serikali ya Russia anaefikiria hivo atakuwa haijui vizuri Russia na namna inavyoendeshwa"
Na ongeza na kauli ya Lavrov Juzi alisema "anaezani kuwa urusi inaweza ikashindwa katika uwanja wa mapambano Ukraine huyo atakuwa na elimu duni na haijui urusi nini na historia yake"
Kwakweli ukifuatilia historia ya viongozi wa Russia tangu ikiwa kwenye Soviet union mpaka leo, basi utaona Putin ndo mpole na mtakatifu kuliko watangulizi wake.
Tujaribu tu kujiuliza hivi Rais angekuwa Dmitry Medvedev halafu jenerali wa majeshi ni Ramzan Akhmadovich Kadyrov (The great Chechnya warrior) Ukraine ingekuwa bado ni nchi kweli?
PUTIN IS A LEADER AND FATHER FOR EX-SOVIET COUNTRIES AS WELL AS WHOLE WORLD.
Nasikitika kuona kuna kizazi kinapenda sana mtelemko. Kifupi hatuna uwezo hata wa kujadiliana nao hawa west zaidi ya kuamuriwa tu.Nakushukuru Mkuu,kitu ninachokijua kwa uhakika hua Siachi mtu awapotoshe wasiojua.
Akikunyang'anya koti mpe na Shati, wanatuibia dhahabu tuwape na makinikia, kuna sehemu tulikosea kuachana na dini zetu za kiafrika, kigezo kikuu cha kuleta dini ni baada ya hawa jamaa kukuta afrika kuna Mali nyingi Ila zilikuwa zinalindwa na mizimu, yaani chifu au mtemi anaweza kwenda kukuonyesha Mali walizonazo halafu mkaondoka, lakini ukija peke yako kuiba zile Mali maana kulikuwa hakuna mlinzi wanakutana na bahari, au Simba wamekaa juu ya Mali au joka kubwa wanajikuta wanashindwa kuiba, sasa ili kuimaliza hili swala na waibe kiurahisi ni kuingiza dini na kusema Ile mizimu haifai, wazee wakaacha Mila zao na wakaibiwa bila kujua Kwa upofu WA dini,Culture destruction hyo Bro...
Yani unafanywa ujione wa HOVYO kuliko aliye mbele yako... Rejea post ya Ask HQ kajaribu kuligusia. Unaacha yako unafata yake, hapo ni kujivua uhuru wako na kujiweka utumwani rasmi.
Haya wakatugawa wa afrika kwa elim uchwara hizi, jamii ikawa na matabaka ya wanajiona wasomi na ambao hawajasoma.
Wakaongeza na dini juu, dini ya kulainisha nyoyo za mababu hao... Kwamba ukipigwa kofi la kulia mgeuzie la kushoto.
Wakazidi kupumbazwa zaidi pale Shetani, au kiovu kikawa illustration ya ngozi nyeusi. Af watakatifu na uzuri wakajiweka wao. Hiyo ni kuua psychology ya mababu zetu.
Hawana malighafi, hawakuwa na chochote wakatengeza makaratasi yao kuja kubadilishana kwa malighafi zetu... Wanaondoka nazo kisha wanarejea nazo tena kama bidhaa mnauziwa tena kwa exchange ya rasilimali zenu wenyewe.
Hatuna chuki na hawa watu ila kuendelea kuwatukuza ni UJUHA.
Upo sahihi, Iran iliisaidia sana Syria ilipokuwa imebanwa sana na waasi kati ya mwaka 2012-2014 kwa kupeleka maelfu ya vifaa na wapiganaji wake huko Syria.Mchango wa Iran kwa hali na mali ndio ulibadilisha mwelekeo wa vita vya Syria.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Huwa unazunguka mara kwa mara mtaani kuwaangalia hawa watoto zao la Covid kweli? Ha ha ha bora hawa wakina fuso hicho kizazi kijacho ni size ya bajaji ama bodaboda ukizidisha lazima upate ajali.

Jamaa wanalalamika kuwa wanapelekewa Moto 24hrs yaani hakuna kupumzika wala muda wa kutathimini Vita 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Hali ni mbaya sana kwa wapiganaji wetu wa NATO huko DONBAS .Yawapasa kujifunza silaha za NATO kwa miezi 6 na hakuna huo muda. Katika silaha 80+ walizopewa wameweza kutumia 18 tu.

military strategy that aims to destroy anything that might be useful to the enemy. Any assets that could be used by the enemy may be targeted, which usually includes obvious weapons, transport vehicles, communication sites, and industrial resources. However, anything useful to the advancing enemy may be targeted, including food stores and agricultural areas, water sources, and even the local people themselves, though the last has been banned under the 1977 Geneva Conventions.[a]

‘Go f**k yourselves’, Zelensky aide tells Western officials
WORLD HAL TURNER 26 MAY 2022 HITS: 8444
Ukrainian presidential adviser Alexey Arestovich had the nerve to cuss-out the Benefactors who have given his country over $50 BILLION; because some are now saying Ukraine must cede territory to restore peace to that region.
“Go f**k yourselves with such proposals, you dumb f**ks, to trade Ukrainian territory a little bit! Are you f**king crazy? Our children are dying, soldiers are stopping shells with their own bodies, and they are telling us how to sacrifice our territories. This will never happen,” he insisted in an interview on Wednesday.
Arestovich criticized the logic of “bleating” voices encouraging Ukraine “to curb its appetite” and to give Russia the territories it supposedly wants, as this would allow Kiev to “establish a comprehensive peace and to return to business as usual.”
Another adviser of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Mikhail Podoliak, took to Telegram on Wednesday to address the “pro-Russian lobbyists in Europe.”
“We do not sell our citizens, territories or sovereignty. This is a clear red line. Ukrainian society has paid a terrible price and will not allow anyone to even take a step in this direction – no government and no country,” Podoliak said.
While no one wants a long military action or a food crisis, “the shortest way to end the war is with weapons, sanctions and financial assistance to Ukraine,” he argued.
“The Ukrainians defended Kiev, liberated three regions and are completing the liberation of the fourth. Today, the same people offer us to give Russia the east and the south. Thanks for the advice, but we'll probably take up arms,” the adviser said.
Neither man seems willing to accept the fact that Ukraine is LOSING the conflict with Russia and unless Ukraine wises-up - fast - they may not have a country left at all.
The statements from Arestovich and Podoliak come after former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Monday. Kissinger urged Ukraine to make peace quickly, warning that if the conflict is not resolved within two months, Russia may become a “permanent ally” of China in its stand-off with the US.
President Volodymyr Zelensky also criticized Kissinger, calling him out by name, while speaking in more polite terms than Arestovich, saying the American statesman “emerged” from the long gone past and spoke “as if it is 1938 and not 2022. And he thought he was talking to an audience in Munich of that time and not Davos.”
He was apparently referring to the Munich Agreement, a deal that the UK and France made with Axis powers Germany and Italy in 1938, in which the Nazis were given a free hand to invade Czechoslovakia. Comparing modern Russia with Nazi Germany is a favorite rhetorical device of many Ukrainian officials.
Ukraine has insisted that it will not agree to any peace proposals that do not respect its pre-2014 borders.
Moscow has made it clear that the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, as well as the status of Crimea as a Russian region, are not up for discussion.
Russia attacked the neighboring state in late February, following Ukraine’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, first signed in 2014, and Moscow’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The German- and French-brokered protocols were designed to give the breakaway regions special status within the Ukrainian state.
The Kremlin has since demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force.
Sasa na wewe kwanini unashabikia USA&NATO kuweka biolabs na millitary offensive bases kwajili ya Urusi na Raia wake, unapata faida gani kwako binafsi na kwa taifa lako. Tunahitaji majibu pia.i know all those, sasa wewe kwa nini unashabikia Urusi kumshambulia Ukraine, unapata faida gani kwako binafsi kwa Taifa lako. I need an answer in bold.
Hii mbinu ndio inawamaliza kina Zelensky Scotched earth military policy . Kama anajificha kwenye jengo unalishusha jengo lote. Kama ni daraja vunja , reli barabara kila kitu kinakuwa destroyes
