Frasi di Henry Kissinger
pagina 2

Henry Kissinger, nato Heinz Alfred Kissinger , è un politico statunitense di origine ebraica tedesca e membro del Partito repubblicano.

Fu consigliere per la sicurezza nazionale e segretario di stato degli Stati Uniti durante le presidenze di Richard Nixon e di Gerald Ford tra il 1969 e il 1977. Nel 1973 fu insignito del Premio Nobel per la pace.

Dotato di notevoli qualità intellettuali, Kissinger si rese protagonista, all'inizio degli anni settanta, di una brillante e innovativa politica estera, raggiungendo alcuni importanti successi per gli Stati Uniti, che gli valsero un grande prestigio internazionale e una crescente influenza all'interno dell'amministrazione Nixon. Peraltro i suoi metodi spregiudicati di azione politica, che non escludevano pesanti interferenze, anche militari, su governi e politici stranieri, per salvaguardare a tutti i costi il potere americano e impedire la sopravvivenza di realtà politiche ritenute ostili, come nel caso del Cile e dell'Argentina, sono stati aspramente criticati.

Phone call with Gen. Alexander Haig (9 December 1970) quoted in National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 123. The quotation was an excerpt from one of several phone conversations in which Kissinger ridiculed Nixon’s views about the war: &quot;When Nixon proposed an escalation in the bombing of Cambodia, Kissinger and Haig felt obliged to humor the president while laughing at him behind his back&quot; (Washington Post, May 27, 2004).

“The issue before us is whether the 21st century belongs to China. And I would say that China will be preoccupied with enormous problems internally, domestically with its immediate environment, and that I have enormous difficulty imagining it will be dominated by China, and indeed, as I will conclude, I believe that the concept that some country will dominate the world, is in itself a misunderstanding of the world in which we now live… In the geopolitical situation, China historically has been surrounded by a group of smaller countries, which themselves were not individually able to threathen China, but which united, could cause a threat to China, and therefore historically, Chinese foreign policy can be described as "barbarian management". So China had never had to deal in a world of countries of approximately equal strength, and so to adjust to such a world, is in itself a profound challenge to China, which now has 14 countries on its borders, some of which are small, but can project their nationality into China, some of which are large, and historically significant, so that any attempt by Chinese to dominate the world, would evoke a counter-reaction that would be disastrous for the peace of the world.”

“Every civilization that has ever existed has ultimately collapsed … History is a tale of efforts that failed, of aspirations that weren’t realized... So, as a historian, one has to live with a sense of the inevitability of tragedy.”
