A curious aspect of this war is, it almost looks like World War I.
If one side clearly wins, then it will have profound consequences. I think a negotiation is desirable. And I said so in Davos, and I was attacked for it. But I think we will be heading in that direction.
Judy Woodruff:
And your comments at Davos did draw criticism, attention. People were saying you were arguing for Ukraine to give up territory.
Henry Kissinger:
No, but the funny thing is, I did not say that. What I said was, a cease-fire line should be drawn at where the war started.
I think Russia should not gain anything from the war.
Judy Woodruff:
Right now, Russia has almost complete control of the Donbass.
Henry Kissinger:
Yes.
Judy Woodruff:
They're trying to consolidate that now. They have Crimea.
If Russia were to say, OK, let's have a truce, should Ukraine go along with that and let them have what they have got?
Henry Kissinger:
It's their country. And if they decide that, we would have to accept it.
we should send kissinger to the ukraine to fight He's always loved the troops so much
Brayden Johnson

Is kissinger shading his language? I see one of two ways to interpret his comment.
1. He's a retard like everyone else, offering Russia the genius offer of unconditional surrender. Yeah Russia is going to surrender after spending men and treasure and fucking WINNING.
2. He tosses out the 'well I think Russia should surrender' line, just to clarify that he's not ADVISING Ukraine to surrender, BUT if Ukraine decides to surrender the land its their choice!
So he's floating the (only sensible idea) which is that Ukraine should surrender and cede land, but he's not specifically recommending it himself.

It seems like Judy i the extreemist here.
Basically there are people in sharge who are 10 times more batshit and make Kissinger look like a reasonable person.
