[QUOTE="Ophiolite, post: 75548968, member: 234799"] I've given your post an Informative icon. The main thing it informs me is that you appear to be trying to pass off comments made four years ago as being current remarks. I give you full marks for staying on message. Perhaps this more recent item is more revealing. Here is an extract: [I]The Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board, an influential advisory panel of former officials, is dominated by experts who do not reflect the hard-line policies toward [URL='https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/china/']China[/URL] put into place under [B]President Trump[/B], according to analysts. Chief among those on the [URL='https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/pentagons-defense-policy-board/']board[/URL] with views that clash with Mr. Trump is former Secretary of State [B]Henry Kissinger[/B], architect of the conciliatory U.S. policies that argued in favor of unfettered economic and diplomatic engagement with the communist regime. [/I] But please note, this does not specifically state that Kissinger's current views run counter to Trump's. One might wonder if the master of [I]Realpolitik [/I]would change his mind over the course of four decades. On the other hand the article also notes: [I][B]William C. Triplett II[/B], former chief Republican counsel for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said at least two-thirds of the [URL='https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/pentagons-defense-policy-board/']board[/URL]’s members should support the vision of the administration in power, with one-third reflecting from previous administrations. “But the one-third should be distinguished persons who are not known for high and active partisanship,” Mr. Triplett said.“The present composition of the [URL='https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/pentagons-defense-policy-board/']board[/URL] does not appear to meet that standard,” he said. “For example, certainly Dr. Kissinger is entitled to his opinions on [URL='https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/china/']China[/URL], but they are the antithesis of the Trump administration . . ." [/I] On balance it is reasonable to conclude that Kissinger's suspicion that Trump might become a very considerable President is likely not borne out. [/QUOTE]
