“America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests” ― Henry Kissinger
- adventured 4y agoThat's not something that Kissinger has ever gotten to decide and he has historically been frequently wrong. Kissinger is about as meaningless of a reference point as you could use in that sphere. He hasn't had potent influence over US foreign policy in over four decades. They barely pay attention to anything he has said in the last several decades, and the left certainly ignores him. Might as well quote Robert E Lee on US policy.
- breadwinner 4y agoI interpreted that quote as more of an observation by Kissinger, as opposed to statement of official US foreign policy.
