R to @RookmakerDorien: Kissingers visie op de huidige situatie in de wereld aldus de WSJ: “After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year, Kissinger sounded warnings about the need to make peace with Russia, regardless of differences over fundamental values.
He said it was a mistake for the West to dangle before Ukraine the possibility of joining NATO, arguing that it provoked Moscow. But, he said, Russia’s invasion made it incumbent for the West to help defend Ukraine and, after a negotiated peace, treat it as a member of the alliance. 
“We are at the edge of war with Russia and China on issues which we partly created, without any concept of how this is going to end or what it’s supposed to lead to,” he told The Wall Street Journal in 2022. 
After Hamas’s attack on Israel last month, Kissinger said Israel had to impose a penalty in response, and that a quick ceasefire was impossible. Peace talks “are not conceivable to me” if “terrorists can appear openly and take hostages and kill people,” he said in an interview with Axel Springer Chief Executive Mathias Dopfner for Germany’s Welt TV.
Asked how he felt about Arabs celebrating Hamas’s attack on the streets of Berlin by distributing sweets, Kissinger said he bore no grievance against the German people, but said they had let too many foreigners into the country.
“It was a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different culture and religion and concepts, because it creates a pressure group inside each country that does that,” he said.”
