Kissinger Backs Ukraine's NATO Bid

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger advocated for Ukraine’s accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

“Before this war, I was opposed to membership of Ukraine in NATO, because I feared that it would start exactly the process that we are seeing now,” Mr. Kissinger said remotely at a session of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “The idea of a neutral Ukraine under these conditions is no longer meaningful. I believe Ukrainian membership in NATO would be a[n] appropriate outcome.”

Ukraine applied for NATO membership in September.

Mr. Kissinger’s comments echoed points he made in an article in The Spectator magazine last month, in which he argued for establishing a ceasefire in the Russo-Ukraine war along the pre-invasion lines of contact.

Describing a plan by which the war could conclude, Mr. Kissinger Tuesday said that such a suspension in fighting “is the reasonable outcome of the military actions but not necessarily the outcome of a later peace negotiation."

Neither Russia nor Ukraine has displayed particular zeal for opening negotiations. While Moscow has preconditioned talks on Ukraine’s recognition of Russian territorial gains, Kyiv has demanded that Russian troops abandon the Crimean Peninsula and all other Ukrainian lands before meaningful talks may begin.

Near-term negotiations would “keep the war from becoming a war against Russia itself,” Mr. Kissinger said, cautioning against provoking instability within Russia, given the country’s large nuclear-weapons arsenal. Talks would give Moscow “an opportunity to rejoin an international system.”

Mr. Kissinger, 99 years old, was instrumental in establishing Cold War détente with the Soviet Union as secretary of state in the 1970s.

“I believe in dialogue with Russia while the war continues, an end of fighting when the prewar line is reached,” he said Tuesday. “I believe this is the way to prevent the war from escalating by raising issues beyond those that existed at the beginning of the war and making them subject to a continuation of military conflict.”

Perhaps we need a stickied bread just for interdasting A.I. questions and responses? I'd partake, but I won't make the bread because I made the video thread bread a couple of years back and it kept getting unstickied and ultimately got deleted along with a bunch of other breads.

Normies view A.I. as some sort of savior of mankind. That's why the posts about A.I. responses to anons questions are relevant. It's interdasting to read just what A.I. has to say to our questions that would just be filtered out through the algorithms and/or "fact-checked" by search engines. The A.I. bots are giving some very interesting answers and, in some cases, validating what anons already know. Ask the A.I. and show the normies the answers.

Yeah it had some great red pills in it, but the spammers also got hold of it too… We can't have anything nice around here.

>hard to believe he's still alive

Yeah I remember my dad talking about him when I was a child. Anywho, it's interesting that Kissinger has now come out in favor of Ukraine joining NATO. To me, this suggests there has been some turning point in the Russia/Ukraine conflict. Either Ukraine has just garnered some significant leverage and/or Putin is about to be "removed" from power. No sauce, just reading the tea leaves.

Careful anon, you will get relentlessly attacked and will witness olympic level mental gymnastics by his acolytes here. I love the man, but the people he chooses to support, and vehemently support no less, are just cringe. I felt that way about McCarthy, OZ, Noem, etc.
