Henry Kissinger: “But, under no conditions should a treaty be made as a favor to another country, or to make another country feel better.”

For us, the problem is hegemony by any one country over Eurasia is a potential threat to our security.

History doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes.

I cannot conceive of a war between China and the United States.

My basic point is that we can maintain a favorable balance of power, but we must couple it with a political structure in which the issue of war and peace can be used as a diplomatic as well as a military expression.
