Meanwhile, an American diplomat in Dacca named Archer Blood begins reporting and documenting the slaughter, hoping to convince his government to step in and restrain Yahya. In Washington, D.C., President Richard Nixon and his national security advisor Henry Kissinger weigh the political costs of intervening in the atrocities, while secretly planning a groundbreaking outreach to Communist China.  SOURCES: Bass, Gary K.

In the wake of the deadly Bhola Cyclone, 50 million Pakistanis go to the polls on December 7th, 1970 and cast their votes in a national election, which yields unexpected and destabilizing results. As the emergent factions fight for control of Pakistan's nascent democracy, the political process slowly disintegrates and the gulf between East and West Pakistan becomes irreconcilable.

Liverpool se gelykop-uitslag van 2-0 teen Manchester United op Old Trafford het verhoed dat hy weer tot boaan die Premierliga se punteleer skuif. Luis Diaz het Liverpool se eerste doel in 'n eensydige eerste helfte aangeteken, waarna, Kobbie Mainoo en die kaptein, Bruno Fernandes, die tuisspan ná rustyd met 2-1 laat voorloop het. 'n Laat strafdoel deur Mohamed Salah het dit 2-elk gemaak en die Reds laat terugskuif tot onder Arsenal weens 'n doeleverskil. Liverpool se bestuurder, Jurgen Klopp, sê hulle moes eintlik gewen het:

Henry Kissinger became the bête noire of the American right and left during and after the Vietnam War era for pursuing what critics decried as amoral realpolitik. On the event of his passing at age 100, what is Kissinger's legacy for U.S. foreign policy? On this episode, Jacob Heilbrunn speaks with Barry Gewen, a former editor at the New York Times Book Review and the author of “The Inevitability of Tragedy: Henry Kissinger and His World” (W. W. Norton, 2020). Gewen has written on politics, international affairs, and culture for several publications, including The New York Times, The New Republic, Dissent, and The National Interest.Music by Aleksey Chistilin from Pixabay

In my talk with Barry Gewen on his 2020 book, The Inevitability of Tragedy: Henry Kissinger and His World (W. W. Norton, 2020), we explore the disparate influences that shaped Kissinger as both an intellectual and as a practitioner of power.  Our conversation touches on Kissinger's upbringing in a German-Jewish community in Bavaria at the time of Hitler's rise to power and pivots to an understanding of Kissinger's Realism as his pessimistic yet unwavering approach to foreign affairs and exigencies like the balance of power. In his committed opposition to the Wilsonian creed—the missionary idea of America's role in the world—Kissinger was decidedly in the camp of the political scientist Hans Morgenthau, a fellow German-Jewish immigrant and mentor of sorts. Barry Gewen, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review, deserves to be heard, and his book deserves to be read, for his judicious, textured appraisal of Kissinger. His Kissinger is neither a war criminal nor a diplomatic magician but one guided by the stern maxim that order is prior to justice in the affairs of an ever-perilous world. Our talk closes with Gewen's assessment of Kissinger's thinking on the present-day foreign-policy challenges for the U.S. of China and the Russia-Ukraine war. Veteran journalist Paul Starobin is a former Moscow bureau chief for Business Week and a former contributing editor of The Atlantic. He has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and many other publications. His latest book, Putin's Exiles: Their Fight for a Better Russia (Columbia Global Reports) will be published in January. Learn more about your ad choices.

In my talk with Barry Gewen on his 2020 book, The Inevitability of Tragedy: Henry Kissinger and His World (W. W. Norton, 2020), we explore the disparate influences that shaped Kissinger as both an intellectual and as a practitioner of power.  Our conversation touches on Kissinger's upbringing in a German-Jewish community in Bavaria at the time of Hitler's rise to power and pivots to an understanding of Kissinger's Realism as his pessimistic yet unwavering approach to foreign affairs and exigencies like the balance of power. In his committed opposition to the Wilsonian creed—the missionary idea of America's role in the world—Kissinger was decidedly in the camp of the political scientist Hans Morgenthau, a fellow German-Jewish immigrant and mentor of sorts. Barry Gewen, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review, deserves to be heard, and his book deserves to be read, for his judicious, textured appraisal of Kissinger. His Kissinger is neither a war criminal nor a diplomatic magician but one guided by the stern maxim that order is prior to justice in the affairs of an ever-perilous world. Our talk closes with Gewen's assessment of Kissinger's thinking on the present-day foreign-policy challenges for the U.S. of China and the Russia-Ukraine war.

Ontleders in die VSA begin nou sê dat die stryd teen inflasie gewen is. Ekonoom en blogger Noah Smith het onlangs gevra so wie het die makro-ekonomie-oorlog gewen? Met ander woorde wie was reg oor die oorsake van die inflasie en die beleid om dit te beveg. Hy gee punte en ek som graag sy storie op. Hierdie episode word ondersteun deur die NWU Sakeskool. Foute en weglatings is my eie.
