Kissinger: Ukraine must give up land to Russia, warns West not to seek to humiliate Putin


Henry Kissinger said Ukraine must concede territory to Russia to end the war and warned the West that a humiliating defeat for Russia could result in wider destabilization.

The statesman, now 98, made the comments in a conference at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Monday, The Daily Telegraph reported.




Kissinger was the architect of the détente with China under the Nixon administration, and he's one of the world's foremost advocates of realpolitik, in which nations put morals and principles aside to achieve their aims.

"Negotiations need to begin in the next two months before it creates upheavals and tensions that will not be easily overcome. Ideally, the dividing line should be a return to the status quo ante," Kissinger said.

"Pursuing the war beyond that point would not be about the freedom of Ukraine, but a new war against Russia itself," he added.

"Status quo ante" means "how things were before." Kissinger's comments imply that Ukraine should accept a peace deal to restore the situation to what it was before February 24, where Russia formally controlled the Crimea peninsula and informally controlled part of the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine.

Ukrainian officials have opposed the idea that they should give up any territory.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine would only accept Russia giving up all claims to land in Ukraine and staging a total withdrawal.

Kissinger's comments echo a New York Times editorial last week, which argued that Ukraine should accept that it would have to make territorial concessions for a peace deal.

Kissinger in his remarks said that Russia had been an essential part of Europe for 400 years, helping balance the power structure at crucial times, The Telegraph reported.

He argued that the West should not risk pushing Russia into closer alliance with China.

"I hope the Ukrainians will match the heroism they have shown with wisdom," he said, adding that Ukraine's proper place was as a neutral buffer state, rather than a fully integrated part of Europe.

In recent months, cracks have been showing in the Western alliance against Russia's aggression, with isolationist Republican lawmakers in the US opposing a $40 billion aid package to Ukraine, and Hungary stymieing European Union attempts to blockade Russian oil. As inflation creeps up, public opposition to the war may also increase.

Not really.

It's clearly evident that it's Russia who have slipped into fascism.

Will be hearing how Finland and Sweden are fascist as well, now that they are trying to join NATO.

Hold on, because you aren’t going to believe this from peks, but it’s a fake quote to start with

Definition:

‘Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.’

Doesn’t really sound like Ukraine, or, as suggested by some of those commenting on the Tweet, the EU to me.

The same people labelling the EU as fascist (just plain weird, right?) also no doubt complaining elsewhere that it has weak, politically correct leaders with progressive and woke policies…

"A group of Russian hackers is believed to be behind the release of a cache of emails obtained from a former director of MI6 and other Brexiters unhappy with Theresa May’s failure to negotiate a “clean” EU exit deal.

Google said the “clumsy campaign” bore the hallmarks of a Russian group it called Coldriver – and the hackers published the correspondence under the title “Very English Coop d’Etat”, claiming it revealed the existence of shadowy group of pro-Brexit plotters."

Those darned metropolitan elites

It reminds me of Umberto Eco's definition of fascism; painting their enemies as both weak and strong at the same time.

Post-soviet Russia's rejection of modernity and embrace of tradition, has meant that for a longtime it's been held as the ideal state for weird incel right wingers.

Now Russia's actions are seeming to be more irrational and less calculated - people like Peks have double downed on their delusion it seems.
