Можно, конечно, назвать Киссинджера старым маразматиком. А можно лишний раз задуматься о том, что за пределами русской культуры "русский мир" воспринимается несколько иначе, чем изнутри ее:
But I don't think he had planned to bring it to a head now. I think he had planned a more gradual situation, and this is sort of a response to what he conceived to be an emergency situation. Of course, to explain why he did it doesn't mean one approves of annexing part of another country or crossing of borders. But I think we ought to settle the Ukraine issue first, and then have a discussion about relations with Russia.
