US Realpolitik 2.0: the recruitment of evil Kissingerism against Russia and China under Donald Trump


The man that could easily be considered the personification of the ruthless US deep state is back. Henry Kissinger comes at the right time in White House to provide 'expertise' on how to provoke a major conflict, especially now that the Sino-Russian bloc threatens the US world domination.


As Mintpressnews reports:

           While most reporting gave some context to Trump’s most recent meeting with top defense officials on tensions with Pyongyang, hardly any mentioned that the meeting had been immediately preceded by another. This meeting, also on the topic of North Korea, was held between the president and former Secretary of State and unindicted war criminal Henry Kissinger. [...] Given Trump’s bellicose rhetoric and threats towards North Korea – as well as his rejection of diplomacy in resolving the crisis despite both Pyongyang’s and his own State Department’s apparent willingness to attempt it – Kissinger’s timely guidance to the President during “the calm before the storm” should give the American public considerable cause for concern.

Adam Curtis in his film The Trap: What Happened to our Dream of Freedom, gives a short background about Kissinger's Realpolitik:

           Ever since the Second World War, American governments had struggled to contain the spread of Communism, and the wave of Third World revolutions was the dangerous new face in this battle. To try and stop it, during the 60's and 70's, American governments adopted a ruthless strategy backing dictators and tyrants around the world who offered to contain these revolutionary forces. They did this, by repressing or killing thousands of their own people. The Main architect of this policy was Henry Kissinger, secretary of State under president Nixon. He used America's power to back dictators like general Pinochet in Chile, and Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines. Kissinger knew that these dictators used torture and mass killing to stay in power, but in his theory, what he called Realpolitik, this was the price that had to be paid if Soviet tyranny was to be kept in check.

Where there's smoke there's fire, so when Kissinger comes, prepare for war.

Why 'dirty Henry' needed to come back at this moment? Most probable answer, to give useful advice and guide 'appropriately' Donald Trump.

So, the next question that comes in mind: would he be coming back under Hillary Clinton too? The seemingly surprisingly answer is 'No'! True, because Hillary doesn't need any guidance. She comes straight from the Kissingerian Realpolitik school, and therefore, she knows very well what to do to provoke Russia and China. She would have been devoted to that mission from her first day in the Oval Office.

There is evidence that Trump was receiving advice from the warmongering Kissinger quite long before his election. And that can be seen in the strategic approach against the Sino-Russian rival bloc. Both Donald Trump and Henry Kissinger appeared to be seeking a diplomatic approach with Russia, contrary to China. Behind this, there is a clear strategy to break the Sino-Russian alliance by concentrating pressure on the component that threatens the economic domination of the US, but has not yet the military strength to confront the US war machine.

And here comes North Korea. China is already encircled by the US naval forces in Asia Pacific. The next step would be the presence of US troops on the ground, right next to the Chinese borders in the Northeast. So, North Korea as the final barrier must be removed.

Let's guess what could be Kissinger's key advice to Donald Trump. Probably, to increase pressure on North Korea to abandon its nuclear program. Iran did it and now the clouds of war are gathering above it as the Donald wants to cancel the nuclear deal, find a pretext to invade. The US empire first imposes tough sanctions together with its faithful allies, then disarms the target, then invades.

Yet, the best part of the story may surprise you even further. Because the US warmongering establishment may be feeling more comfortable with Trump in power. Hillary Clinton would not be that easy to be 'manoeuvred' on this matter due to her excessive zeal to confront Russia. But Donald, despite his frequent shows where he presents himself as an unpredictable 'prima donna', is taken by the hand by the 'Darth Vader' of US foreign policy in order to make the right steps towards the destruction of the Sino-Russian alliance.

Capitalism & Genocide - Yanis Varoufakis Speech at the Gaza Tribunal, 23rd October 2025, Istanbul

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide.

Israel & CIA Behind Iran Protests To Get U.S. To Attack!

The Jimmy Dore Show    As protests in Iran have heated up, western media has actively exaggerated and selectively framed the violence by using casualty figures from U.S.- and Israel-funded NGOs — all in order to build public support for another regime-change war. Former CIA officer John Kiriakou and guest Scott Ritter claim protests were infiltrated by foreign intelligence networks and that Israel and the U.S. are using “human rights” narratives similarly to the way they were used in Iraq and Syria.   Dore and Ritter contend that Iran’s government responded to armed unrest rather than peaceful protest, while mainstream outlets ignore attacks on police and public infrastructure. They warn that propaganda, sanctions, and media coordination are laying the groundwork for a wider U.S.–Israel conflict with Iran.

Ο βασικός λόγος που ο Τραμπ διστάζει να χτυπήσει το Ιράν

"Μικρά και ασήμαντα" από τον Πίκο Απίκο Ο βασικός λόγος που δεν έγινε η επίθεση στο Ιράν, είναι το γεγονός ότι πρόσφατα, το Ιράν αποχώρησε από το δορυφορικό σύστημα GPS που είναι Αμερικανικό και εντάχθηκε στο Κινεζικό BeiDou. Που σημαίνει ότι οι Αμερικανοί δεν έχουν τη δυνατότητα να σαμποτάρουν τους Ιρανικούς πυραύλους.  Έτσι εξηγείται και το μεγάλο ποσοστό ευστοχίας των Ιρανικών πυραύλων στην τελευταία σύγκρουση με το Ισραήλ, μέσα στο Ισραηλινό έδαφος. Αλλά και το γεγονός ότι πριν λίγες μέρες, οι ίδιοι οι Ισραηλινοί ζήτησαν τη διαμεσολάβηση της Ρωσίας, προκειμένου να αποκλιμακωθεί η ένταση με το Ιράν, αφού Ισραηλινές εφημερίδες και αξιωματούχοι είχαν παραδεχθεί ανοιχτά την παρουσία πρακτόρων της Μοσάντ σε Ιρανικό έδαφος και τον κομβικό τους ρόλο στις πρόσφατες εξεγέρσεις. Οι Αμερικανοί επομένως γνωρίζουν ότι αυτή τη στιγμή οι Ιρανοί έχουν τη δυνατότητα να χτυπήσουν Αμερικανικές βάσεις (όπως απείλησαν ότι θα κάνουν αν ο Τραμπ κάνει πράξη τις απειλές του), χωρίς να μπορούν να ...

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...

Jeffrey Sachs: The US is a violent regime

CGTN   Shortly after US President Donald Trump announced on social media that American forces had carried out military actions against Venezuela, President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were forcibly taken to New York City to face US charges including narco-trafficking. Speaking with CGTN's Tian Wei, Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs warned that such actions reflect a broader pattern of militarized US foreign policy. By sidelining international law and disregarding the UN Charter, Washington is undermining the very framework meant to safeguard global peace and prevent another era of devastating wars. 

The orange clown invades Venezuela, betrays MAGA base

globinfo freexchange   Abandoning all pretexts, the orange clown of terror kidnapped the legitimate president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro. The US imperialist mafia now invades sovereign nations, kidnaps legitimate presidents, using ridiculously baseless excuses. Of course, not even a 10-year old child seriously believes that Maduro will be treated fairly in a fair trial by any US court. The fascist Trump regime already betrayed MAGA base, as one of Trump's key promises for a zero-intervention policy, has been blatantly violated. It is clear that Trump doesn't care at all for the will of the vast majority of the American people who is tired from this ruthless imperialist policy. He knows this is his last term, unless he dares to do the unthinkable: expand his dictatorship, contrary to the US constitution. According to a scenario among plenty, Trump has made an unofficial bargain with Putin to secure their spheres of influence. Yet, in such a case, we don't know what is the...
