Adebayo, I'm thankful to Kissinger. His actions and consequences were mixed.

He maintained a strict set of priorities, which is essential to excellent leadership, in contrast to Biden's confusion, which arguably has resulted in needless suffering and loss of life in Afghanistan, Ukraine, and now in the Middle East.

Kissinger's last trip to China aimed to stabilize the relationship, which has to be dramatically improved in the interests of American well-being.

He confidently moved his position on many issues; he advocated that Ukraine be immediately brought into NATO, having previously opposed the idea.

His keen interest in the future was admirable.

People can be enormously valuable without us necessarily agreeing with them because they ask questions that are often tough. That they have the intellect and fortitude to act is a positive.

Best to you and birthday wishes.
