Kissinger: Mistök að hefja refsiaðgerðir gegn Rússlandi

Henry Kissinger fyrrum utanríkisráðherra Nixons Bandaríkjaforseta segir það mistök að Vesturlönd hafi gangsett refsiaðgerðir og þvinganir gegn Rússlandi vegna Úkraínu

Úkraína var rússneskt land í langan tíma. Úkraína ætti ekki að gera sér vonir um aðild að NATO. Kissinger segir að bandalagið muni aldrei samhljóða samþykkja Úkraínu sem meðlim

Það voru hrapalleg mistök [heiladautt og ábyrðarlaust athæfi] að Evrópusambandið skyldi nálgast Úkraínu

Evrópusambandið mun aldrei viðgangast mistök sín og aldrei sýna ábyrga hegðun í alþjóðlegu samhengi né hvað þá á þeirri spínatstöppu sem sambandið hefur búið til úr Evrópu með óðu og umboðslausu fílatrampi sínu í eigin bakgarði

Evrópusambandið er hættulegasta hugmynd nútímans. Sambandið hefur eyðilagt Evrópu. Það ógnar friði í álfunni og jafnframt í veröldinni

Hvenær skyldi hið utanríkismálalega útkíkk Bandaríkjanna gagnvart Evrópusambandinu taka mið af því sem í reynd hefur og er að gerast þar. Hvenær skyldu grundvallar mistökin í mótun þess frá 1871* verða leiðrétt og útkíkkið þar með verða uppfært og gert sannleikanum samkvæmt?

Hér er efnisleg yfirlýsing Kissingers í heild:

Kissinger: Ukraine should forget about Crimea and NATO membership

Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger spoke about global threats, the secession of Crimea and Ukraine's NATO accession.

Mr. Kissinger said that there currently is an urgent need for a new world order, but its coming into being will be long and complicated. "There are no universally accepted rules," said Mr. Kissinger in an interview with the German magazine Der Spiegel. "There is the Chinese view, the Islamic view, the Western view and, to some extent, the Russian view. And they really are not always compatible."

Speaking of Crimea’s accession to Russia, he noted that this is a special case, as Ukraine and Russia were one country for a long time. In his view, the West must recognize its mistakes. "Europe and America did not understand the impact of these events, starting with the negotiations about Ukraine's economic relations with the European Union and culminating in the demonstrations in Kiev," said Mr. Kissinger. "All these, and their impact, should have been the subject of a dialogue with Russia."

He is sure that Ukraine has always had a special significance for Russia. Failure to understand this was fatal, and the Ukrainian authorities can forget about the Crimean peninsula. "Nobody in the West has offered a concrete program to restore Crimea," said Mr. Kissinger. "Nobody is willing to fight over eastern Ukraine." In his opinion, introducing anti-Russian sanctions was a mistake.

"We have to remember that Russia is an important part of the international system, and therefore useful in solving all sorts of other crises, for example in the agreement on nuclear proliferation with Iran or over Syria," Mr. Kissinger said. "This has to have preference over a tactical escalation in a specific case." He added that Ukraine should not hope to become a member of NATO in the foreseeable future, as the alliance will never vote unanimously for the accession of Ukraine.
