#1 If you want to explore the mind spark of the Clinton Foundation, and the chicanery of globalization, look no further than Kissinger Associates model.

I have no idea why Trump would meet with this man or Al Gore. Perhaps his motivations will be revealed in due time.

#2 Gul Dukat: Anyone can blow up a ship. Ha! But to look your enemy in the eye, knowing you'll remember his face for the rest of your life, now that takes... a stomach, much stronger than you'll ever have.

Kissinger is China's emissary to the US. Xi has told Kissinger to lay down the law, and the Donald had better prostrate himself, or else... We'll see soon enough what Trump is made of. Bush was all set to confront China, especially after the EP-3 incident, but was sidetracked by 9/11 and the punitive expeditions into Afghanistan and Iraq that turned into expensive nation-building exercises.

#7 I can understand how Nixon wanted detente with China just like he did with the Soviets. That doesn't mean we have to kowtow to them.

#8 If your premise is the US went off-track after the cold war then it makes sense to talk to some of the foreign policy experts from before before the end of the cold war and get their take.
