China Responds to Kissinger Saying Ukraine Should be in NATO

The only US politician that the Chinese consider serious enough to even issue a thoughtful response to is 100 years old.

If you think about it for a bit, this really says a lot about what is going on, just as a general matter.

China has urged against Ukraine joining NATO, saying it would not improve security in the European region, after veteran US diplomat Henry Kissinger claimed membership would serve the interests of both Kiev and Moscow.

Asked about Kissinger’s comments during a Thursday press briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin argued that Ukrainian NATO membership would only further inflame tensions.

Ukraine should not become the frontier in a major power confrontation,” he said, adding that “to strengthen or even expand military groups is not a viable way to ensure the security of a region. One country’s security should not be achieved at the expense of the security of other countries.”

In an interview with the Economist published on Wednesday, Kissinger said European powers were pursuing a “madly dangerous” strategy by keeping Kiev out of the US-led military bloc, insisting Ukraine must not “become a solitary state just looking out for itself.” He claimed NATO membership would not only benefit Ukraine, but Russia as well.

“If I talked to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, I would tell him that he, too, is safer with Ukraine in NATO,”the 99-year-old added, saying the move would prevent Kiev from making rash “national decisions on territorial claims.”

The Chinese spokesman went on to state that a “durable European security architecture” could only be created through dialogue. During a visit to Ukraine this week, special envoy Li Hui met with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba and other senior officials to discuss Beijing’s views on a diplomatic resolution to the conflict.

Kissinger is someone who I’ve generally viewed as a non-diabolical Jew. His thinking is Jewish, but it’s always seemed to me that he had a sympathetic and respectful view of the America he came to as a kid and grew up in that other Jews simply do not have.

He was the only Jew Richard Nixon would tolerate, and that says a lot. It also, frankly, says a lot that in Germany as a boy, he played for one of the top ranked youth soccer clubs (Jews do not tend to possess any physicality at all, and those who do seem to have at least a slightly better orientation).

He was initially taking what amounted to a “multipolar” view, supporting Ukrainian neutrality, which is considered by the Western media to be “pro-Russian.” He was attacked by the Zelensky regime for various statements. Frankly, having paid attention to this, I do not understand why exactly he is now saying the Ukraine should be in NATO.

This part about how it would prevent the Zelensky regime from trying to expand its borders is new, and very peculiar, given that it is NATO that is currently demanding the expansion of the Ukraine’s borders.

But okay.

He is 100 years old.

And Jewish, by the way.
