🤭 Henry Kissinger, a geopolitics colossus who turned 99 on May 27, has claimed that the US is “infinitely” more divided today than at the time of the Vietnam War (1955-1975).

🤔 According to Kissinger, in the early 1970s, there was “still a possibility of bipartisanship” in the US, before the “hostility” firmly took root.

💬 “The national interest was a meaningful term, it was not in itself a subject of debate. That has ended. Every administration now faces the unremitting hostility of the opposition and in a way that is built on different premises … The unstated but very real debate in America right now is about whether the basic values of America have been valid,” underscored Kissinger, a Republican since the 1950s.
