I've read nearly everything Kissinger has written, and I've seen him interviewed a hundred times. His points have always been clear to me, if not to ideologues or people who depend on Amy Goodman and Soros, Inc. for their news and opinions. He's an advocate of Realpolitik, never exactly a secret to anyone, and he was, and probably still is, a master of it precisely because he's not an ideologue, rating up there with Richelieu and Bismarck.
