Glad to see you back Mr. Rose. Hope this means more Charlie Rose. We really miss your concept of journalism and conversational concept of interviewing. Thank you, Mr. Rose for all the splendid memories! ❤️
Charlie Rose, Seasons Greetings & Happy New Year 2024... Hope to hear you more often...,.
Mr. Allison’s latest book awaits my attention on my bookshelf. I’m curious what Thucydides can teach us about today’s brinksmanship. And Mr. Rose, I hope to see more of your wonderful and informative journalism and interviews in 2024 and beyond.
Seasons greetings sir!
Charlie this is easy one of the best broadcast of lately.
The bonus is you posted it on Xmas eve. To give us hope. Thank you.
This was certainly an enlightening interview.
The one issues in recounting is Allison using disparaging remarks, such as the man with a banner with long hair ...
This seems to be how the news is presented today to prejudice the listeners.
Which is why Charlie; people all over the Earth hunger to simply hear issues, and make up their own opinion.
Thank you!!!
Before this is over, perhaps you’ll get to the truth. I’ll give you time because I’ve just started listening. Charlie: good to see you back swinging.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year!!
There can be no substantive discussion of Henry Kissinger’s post-academic career without at least mentioning Richard Nixon. No other US President had the intellectual heft to withstand, much less challenge, Kissinger’s intellect and ego. Without Nixon, Kissinger would have been just another prominent Harvard academic and we would not be discussing him today.
If not Kissinger there wud have been any other American who wud have done the same. What Kissinger did was not in isolation. But it is NATURE of USA. US will continue his policy but by reforming it somewhat with lesson it learnt in era pre COvid.
Kissinger was a Great Expert on geopolitics , Some ppl dont like him , but reality in his tenure US remain a Global hegemon for such long time and defeated USSR even broke it. But China will have Bigger Place for him in their History. I think whatever he did was for US but in process China Gain much much more than they ever could. china got opened and accepted internationally. But normalising US relation with china was goin on much before nixon.

I cannot disagree more. When he came into the presidency in 1969, Nixon had an ambitious foreign policy agenda that ran against the prevailing ideology of the US Foreign Policy Establishment and the Republican Party Establishment. He chose Kissinger, who worked for political rival, Nelson Rockefeller, at some political risk, because he needed a foreign policy intellectual heavyweight to help him enact his anti-establishment agenda. It is not easy to find a qualified assistant who is willing to put his own academic career in jeopardy in order to buck the system.
When Nixon first told Kissinger that he wanted to normalize relations with China in January 1969, Kissinger was at first incredulous: “He [Nixon] has lost control of his senses.” Kissinger groused to his assistant, Alexander Haig. But it didn’t take too much to convince Kissinger of the geopolitical advantage to be gained from a rapprochement with China. George F. Kennan, the Dean of the US Foreign Policy Establishment counseled Nixon NOT to normalize relations with China because it would complicate relations with the Soviet Union. Ronald Reagan (future US president), Barry Goldwater (influential conservative US Senator) and William F. Buckley (influential conservative commentator) were all dead set AGAINST normalizing relations with “Red China.” During Nixon’s 1972 visit to China, Marshall Green, the US Deputy Secretary of State, almost succeeded in derailing the Shanghai Communique. So, major political opposition had to be overcome in order to open relations with China. But Nixon and Kissinger nevertheless pulled it off. When Reagan became president in 1981, he unsuccessfully tried to undo Nixon’s opening to China.
But China was Nixon’s project. Nixon did the political heavy lifting to make it happen. Kissinger’s help was indispensable and essential. But Nixon first had to convince Kissinger to do it.
Great interview!
Everyone with some common sense understands that no one is perfect. Despite of his faults, when comparing Dr. Henry Kissinger with other world statespeople (as opposed to the word "statesmen") by achievements, Kissinger's long lasting impact cannot be overstated.
Kissinger had a monumental and complex legacy, but I wish more time had been spent in this interview examining the charges that he commutted war crimes in the Vietnam War.
