Henry Kissinger: “Ultimate excellence lies not in winning every battle, but in defeating the enemy without ever fighting.”

The United States must address all these questions at a moment when many in the wider world believe Americans have voluntarily stepped back from strong leadership.

Russia is in my view not a strong country. Russia is a weak country with a large military establishment and a very determined leader.

Therefore, I think the denuclearization of North Korea must be a fundamental objective.

When there is no flexibility and a contest occurs, we have to be aware of the fact that it would have catastrophic consequences for the world.
