The blunders do go way back before this, decades back, back in the 19th century, etc., but it is a special moment for me, showing how really bad the thinking at the top here really was back in the 60s. 

Kisssinger is a locus classicus for this, and his view here is rather a pinnacle of delusion. I tried reading his stuff. He is really a second rate intellectual. Trust me. No one follows my remarks closely anyway. I don't care really. I write mostly for myself, it is a felt need. No one ever even comments here. That is for me a kind of blessing.

My own view is that we should have stayed closer to Russia, bad as they were, than to have approached China in 1971 closer than Russia. 

This has been an incalculable blunder, a blunder that has impacted Russia in ways that only now are being seen unfolding.

Ha ha ha ... "Equilibrium" is the key word of Henry Kissinger ... the butcher of Vietnam and Cambodia ... thinks he was on a divine mission to create a power "Equilibrium" in the world ... but unwittingly or perhaps deliberately unleashed the phenomenon of "China" ... !! ... A China, which is a Monster many times more powerful than the Soviet Union, soon to surpass the US economy, and unlike the Soviet Union, sitting on over $3.0 Trillions of foreign exchange reserves, not going to be wished away or defeated militarily or economically ... !!
