Henry must be another Russian bot :lmao

Henry Kissinger advised President Donald Trump to try to improve relations with Russia in a bid to try to isolate China during the presidential transition in late 2016 and early 2017, five sources said have been briefed on Kissinger's discussions with the president told The Daily Beast.

Kissinger offered similar advice to senior Trump advisor Jared Kushner, one source said. White House and Capitol Hill insiders told the outlet that officials from the State Department, the Pentagon and the National Security Council proposed a similar strategy to Trump.

A source told the outlet that "looking out over [the] long term, there is a belief in the administration that Moscow will see Beijing as its greatest geopolitical foe – just like Washington does now – and that could set up a rapprochement with America."

When asked Kissinger said:

"It was a meeting that had to take place. I have advocated it for several years," Kissinger said. Stressing that nations today face a "very, very grave period for the world," the former secretary of state said that Trump "may be one of those figures in history who appears from time to time to mark the end of an era and to force it to give up its old pretenses."

Kissinger makes a surprise appearance in the Oval Office

After being summoned to the Oval Office for what was expected to be a photo-op with Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov, members of the White House press corps were surprised to see former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was sitting with the president instead of Lavrov. Kissinger's visit to the White House fell one day after President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey for, "not doing a good job," amid an ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

"It's an honor to have Henry Kissinger with us." Mr. Trump said. "We're right now talking about Russia and various other matters."

... as if China gave a shit.

China has spread its empire, commerce, influence, $Bs across the planet, no help from USA.

Russia is a 3rd rate shit hole, smaller GDP than bankrupt Italy.

:lmao Henry does not believe Russian hacking is 911/Pearl Harbor all in one :lmao

Last December "Face the Nation," moderator John Dickerson sat down with the former Secretary of State and asked him about Russian hacking during the election.

"I don't doubt that the Russians are hacking us." Kissinger said and added, "And I hope we're doing some hacking there."
