WHEN HENRY KISSINGER, at the age of 98, feels impelled to weigh-in on the Russo-Ukrainian War, we should probably listen. What has so clearly alarmed Kissinger, however, is the apparent lack of diplomatic urgency on the part of the United States to bring about a cessation of hostilities. With typical ruthlessness he advises the United States to use its strategic leverage with Ukraine to secure its compliance. Kissinger is also keenly aware of the impact soaring energy costs will have on the energy-poor nations of the West. The destabilising impact of an international energy crisis, coupled with an international food crisis, only reinforces his argument for hostilities to be ended with the utmost possible speed.
