Opinion | Henry Kissinger, the Hypocrite
Tags: Current Focus,
A different view of Henry Kissinger that questions his policies based on Realpolitik of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, policies of the Austrian chancellor Metternich. "A World Restored: Metternich, Castlereagh and the Problems of Peace 1812-1822" is the title of Kissinger's dissertation at Harvard for doctoral degree. It was based on politics based on the balance of power after the defeat of Napoleon. This led Kissinger who came from Germany and was influenced deeply by Metternich's approach to conduct international relations with wins in opening relations with China, and losses in expanding the war with Vietnam to Indochina, and wars in Bangladesh and Cyprus.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
