I just watched Charlie Rose interview 90 year old Henry Kissinger who is still sharp as a tack. What an interesting interview. Kissinger said that it is good that Russia has denied they have troops in the Ukraine because the troops can disappear and Russia can deny that they pulled the troops out. Kissinger also stated that he thinks it is a mistake for adversary heads of state to speak to each other on the phone. Kissinger believes that a head of state by definition has to have a large ego. Therefore especially with interpreters, it is easy for both leaders to talk over each other and there are no higher ups to appeal to if the conversation falls apart. Kissinger the king of Real Politik is as fascinating as ever even at age 90. Kissinger also advised that Kerry stop giving history lessons about Russias 19th century spheres of influence tactics. Watch the Kissinger interview with Charlie Rose if you have a chance.
