Kissinger believes US at the edge of war with Russia and China

"Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger believes that Washington is currently on the
brink of war with Moscow and Beijing, he said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
Biden Administration's inability to separate "personal relationships with the adversary" from breaking diplomatic stability, Mr Kissinger said: "I think that the current period has a great trouble defining a direction." Without directly naming US President Joe Biden, the 99-year-old told the Wall Street Journal that the White House's historically low relations with Moscow and Beijing were a result of leaders being "responsive to the emotion of the moment". Saying the US had "partly created" Russia's issues with Ukraine and China's with Taiwan, Mr Kissinger added: "All you can do is not to accelerate the tensions and to create options, and for that, you have to have some purpose."
