JRE has been lacking this type of content for a long time now. Thanks Lex.
Agreed..
faccts
Ya, Lex's podcast has overtaken Joe's spot for me. But Rogan is still the GOAT and without him we probably wouldn't even have this podcast and many others.
Joe has too many of his comedic friends... This is great by Lex.
yeah I think of lex as joe rogan with a brain. I'm just so sick of how joe bends to any number of inanities and doesn't evaluate his thoughts before saying something stupid.
This guy is missing some major aspects of Kissinger here. Kissinger was a heartless broker of war and destruction, and thought of people as cattle.
This is the traditional way leaders thought about people. No different than Egypt’s pharaohs, Roman generals, Chinese emperors, the mongols, European Kings etc. it’s only recently that “morality” has even been given lip service.
@@gj1234567899999 still doesn't change the fact..
That is what he said. Listen better
@@gj1234567899999 that’s doesn’t mean those nations were correct in what they did, besides if u learn ur history you’ll find out they’re have been many nations in the past that expressed morality
@Neutral whoever insider "is" - he writes like a high schooler who failed spelling and grammar. You gotta touch up on your writing an character creation. Not convincing. Back to the drawing board with you.
Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control people. - Henry Kissinger
Oh he's the one who said that?! wow
Control money supply and you control the entire world
He never said that!
One of the biggest problems in modern life is the constant spread of nonsense disguised as truth. It will probably lead to mass death and attempted genocide, as people use this nonsense to advance conspiracies.
Evil human being
and you cook food (people) in hot oil (nation) = soldiers who die for their country and for the oil in the middle east.
Kissinger is still alive. Im 39 and he was ancient to me when I was 12
It's all that adrinocrome and stem cells he ingests on a weekly basis.
Probably gets organ transplants every 6 months
Kissinger was supposedly middle aged in 1970s. 👩🔧
"Young Blood"🩸👶🏻
@@philipdumont2286 His mate David Rockefeller had 6x Heart Transplants! Young Blood 🩸👶🏻 I suspect - Keeps these Monsters Alive!
No mention of Chile or Cambodia? Surprising. It was an interesting chat, but I can't shake the feeling that Mr. Suri is deliberately glossing over the worst aspects of Kissinger while at the same time highlighting his supposed brilliance as a statesman. Describing the man as 'fascinating' and 'complicated' is all well and good, but he doesn't dare name him a war criminal. He treats Kissinger with a little too much respect and adulation for my taste. Or perhaps he's simply afraid of him?
If he is writing a book on him in the same manner as he talks about him in this interview, he must be on his payroll
Because the uncomfortable truth is that the difference between many brilliant statesmen and war criminals is the same as between a genius and a madman - the victory.
Lex was asking him about power, so he was explaining how Kissinger got and maintained power.
Excellent comment
Hitchens already wrote all we need to know...
"The realpolitik becomes self defeating, because you're constantly running to keep power but you forget why."
Such a critically important insight!
Yeah agreed, only for the thrill of power. You became addicted.
Realpolitik's one of the tools, along with idealism, peace-making and geopolitics. Finding the balance and the recipe is the art of international affairs.
Um it’s not that complicated, it power for your country’s well being. That’s the underlying goal much in the same way we take care of our families or procreate in the first place. We advance our interests. There’s no great mystery underneath it.
@@Coolrunnings007
Your family’s welfare is dependent on the wellbeing of your neighbourhood. Making your family powerful at the expense of your neighbourhood will not provide long lasting peace.
@@anaesthesia1549 we’ll actually it doesn’t have to come at the expense of your neighborhood. That’s an assumption that is made but not required in order for you to advance. A modern example would actually be China who largely has risen at without violence ( externally that is). They focused on defensive postering while growing economically ( I do know that there has been changes recently). Russia followed a different method and it is not looking good for them right now. So it doesn’t require for it to be too violent or even detrimental to the neighborhood.
Loved the podcast with your dad. It was the first of your podcast that I saw. Very humble of you to share how you felt after doing that podcast.
I would never hold it against a Cambodian or Laotian person for not exactly looking at Kissinger with charity. That man has played a serious hand in a lot of unnecessary destruction of human life and intensifying of human misery
Kissinger is one of the most evil persons in human history.
Henry Kissinger was a sadistic hollow death merchant for Mordor.
except when he was making peace between countries? according to the interview i just watched here 🤷♂️
i mean what you said does make sense but he brokered peace talks with japan, got us talking to commie china and got the middle east to stop fighting for a time..are you meaning he started all these conflicts just so he can brokerage a favorable deal...with the US? Himself? The jews? it sounds like there's more to Kissinger than what these guys just said cuz what you said doesn't fit here.
@@robdawg007rc As my enlightenment continues I have come to realize humans can not live in abstract fictions in large numbers. Constructing reality out of abstract thought creates madness. Look at the history of rise and collapse. It always leads to madness. You are in the matrix, 1984, Lord of the rings and the walking dead simultaneously.
@@atypicaltexan3834lol well since you sound like Saruman ill be Frodo...wait wait...ill be the chick with the samurai sword...this is good. You already sound like you're going mad and im just trying to survive
@@robdawg007rc Can you not see the metaphor? What happens when one acquires the ring of power? Mad lust for power maybe? Can you think of any examples of power causing madness? The world does not work like the reality show on media. Representative gov't. is just a facade obscuring the same feudal system of history.
The fact that the US has not put him to trial only shows it's true colours.
That will never happen. HK is a servant of power.
I'm not trying to be a dick but that sounds naive dear, the system requires, rewards and protects such people who do a shit ton of evil for the "greater good"
So let me get this straight. 'If you don't like Kissenger your anti sametic"... is it just me or is something very wrong with this statement...
Kissinger is not a Semitic.
Anti-semites are just one of the many kinds of people who don't like Kissinger...most Jews don't like him either, so...
The problem with the statement, is that ashkenazi jews were not real jews. Kissenger is a fraud, not a real jew. Although he is a kabbalist who worships satan through the occult.
It's the same issue with criticizing Soros...
It's just a copout
I like watching LEX interviews because he actually let's the guest speaker TALK most of the time.
The hand of the king...
with an army of Economic Hitmen
deployed for Empire...
An evil empire
Smedley Butler - Kissinger is exactly what he was talking about - war is a racket, and Kissinger was the racketeer in chief.
@Neutral

@@keithsweet8840 good for you, knowing everyones phones are already hacked in a way is reassuring. Jk. It was just a link to a book about a bloodline insider. Someone's been reading Icke. If anything he said were true, hed be in a cell in belmarsh next to assange.
Kissinger = Rivers of blood..
Blame rap music

@@MrHarryc727 pawn of the rock challenged by lack of some word.
@@MrHarryc727 Grand Admiral Thrawn was respectable. Kissinger is deplorable.
Superb interview and very well spoken and articulated guest. As a political and social actor, Kissenger was thoroughly corrupted by and driven to pursue power.
I can't figure Kissinger out, to be honest. Growing up in DC in the 80s, I remember people fell into his aura, would excitedly talk about meeting him. Back then, he was what passed for "exotic", I guess. I think the breaking point was when I lived in China and read his book on the subject. He did not get China at all - his book is basically gpt3 trained on fortune cookies. I get the impression that he actually believed that he was making a strategic alliance against the USSR, and that it was something unusual or unprecedented for China to open itself to trade and foreign influence, and that this openness would endure. When in fact this happened again and again in Chinese history, and was almost always followed by a closing up. Which is exactly what we are seeing today.
Like Tesla !
Now this was a really interesting conversation.
@Late Laterson Whew, that was close. Thanks for that context man, I was completely oblivious to Kissinger’s existence prior to this interview and formed my entire perspective from this singular subjective conversation on a podcast. That could have been bad. If it wasn’t for you, saving the day with your incredible insight, reminding me that it’s “only telling the fluff zio side.” Amen. Whatever those words with a random sequence of letters mixed in there, whatever that means…, A-m-e-n. I’m with it. I’m getting that tattooed, and it will be the name of my first born. I nearly disavowed everything I know and stand for, like fundamentally… I mean, I was so close to becoming one of the people who just regurgitates what he hears from uncorroborated sources. Thank you Late “fluff zio side” Laterson. You are truly the greatest mind of a generation, and I mean that.
@@eIicit absolutely!!!
Kissinger is extremely fascinating. I first read about him in Robert Greene’s “The 48 Laws of Power”. A guy who just always seems to come out on top no matter what. Worked under multiple presidents including Nixon - came out of watergate unscathed.
Another figure that comes to mind is Talleyrand - once Napoleon’s chief diplomat. There are a lot of parallels between the two
@fallout3freak360 - Talleyrand was repugnant, but Kissinger elicits even more contempt than that repellent figure.
its almost like hes part of some powerful network or cabal isnt it
@@frilansspion keep in mind Kissinger himself didn't care for rest of the Jewish community and unironically said it's not American concern if tomorrow Soviets puts their Jews into gas chamber too.
@@frilansspion he might be a powerful cabal. But i know muslim immigrant who did the same thing as henry kisinger to climb the ladder of power with strategy and succeeded in becoming crucial diplomat. Saying he is in a jewish mafia or cabal which i do not deny, diminished kissinger brillance
@@leshoda I dont know or really care if its an exclusively jewish thing. And dont get me started on muslim infiltration :) That ethnic groups work together for their own purposes is not surprising or that outlandish a thought of course
Professor Suri was a professor of mine in Wisconsin, time has changed him but still a brilliant guy.
Which college In Wisconsin?
I'd also suggest the viewers to read "The trial of Henry Kissinger" by Christopher Hitchens. There is also a biography on Kissinger by Walter Isaacson (the guy who wrote Steve Jobs' biography) which is also very interesting...
The Price Of Power By Seymour Hersh 1983 is excellent on HK corruption, highly recommended by Seyom Brown
Niall Ferguson has written an authorised biography of Henry Kissinger
At 2:48 of this video what is it that he’s saying? Kissinger left right before what?
I´ll take my perseption of him by the venture brothers. But thanks anyway.
@@studywithmir1994 So, you're not a reader.
Ran into Kissinger @25 yr ago at the Kimball Art Museum in Ft Worth for an exhibit from Egypt. He was with an ancient socialite who was thinner than a toothpick. I remember hearing his voice and knew immediately without turning around who was behind me.
Sounds creepy af. Hopefully, you weren't traumatized.
I sat in front of him in a movie theater once. I didn't turn around and look but I knew it was him, it was a war movie and every time a group of soldiers got blown up, I heard an enthusiastic, guttural "WONDERFUL!"
@@itsmatt2105 I'll take "Things that never happened" for 1000 Alex
The ending sums him up imo. Excellent stuff Lex, and big thanks to your insightful guest.
lots of smirky lightheartedness here- i wonder if vietnam, cambodia, laos , east timor, chile, pakistan, etc...etc... are smirking too.
the architect of the Vietnam war that l lost friends in.
My country was sold out due to this evil man. I will sell my soul to meet him in hell personally
Lex - fwiw, the episode with your father was one of my favorite podcasts ever.
Father-son relationships are complex and (nod to Tolstoy) each is complex in its own way. The evident strain is what makes it so real. Thankful that you'd share something so personal.
Someday when you are far enough away from your father ( time wise) you may see him in a different life. Your mind needs to take some of the emotion out of the equation to hopefully resolve anything. In my guesswork, you will need to do all the flexing. I had so many issues that I could not iron out as he died 50 years ago and only now am I accepting that he was who he was and no reasoning in the world satisfied my questions.
Light,not life. Thank you very much for your openness.
Any thoughts on how much of todays popular pop culture media (TV, Movies, Comics, Manga, Basically everything) revolves around storylines involving "fraught" relationships between fathers and sons?
@@jean-paulmorin913 rrrhh tr
You know what I miss on these podcasts, one person who was in my opinion the best orator, polemic and observer of the now and history. Christopher Hitchens. I miss him. I really do. His eloquence, his articulation, his erudite commentary. What a man.
My father grew up in Germany during the war but was too young to fight. The idea that he had no power also haunted him all his life. He had my sister become a lawyer.

Casually speaking about Kissinger being a skillful negotiator and power chess player on the world scene...Nobel Prize winner, for God's sake... He was not alone while active (supported by wealthy oligarchs), he was extremely traumatized, even a classic villain. Let's not normalize abuse and violence. Respect for Kissinger? Terrible human.
Biljana...you are correct and Neutral is nuts.
Not a compressive policy. He ran around putting out fires with poor results
Tako je Biljana!
Everyone should respect Kissinger. Like it or not he brought prosperity to America and the world.
Human? You give him to much credit by even referring to him as a terrible human. Dude was a monster in his most treacherous form. I'm surprised he wasn't found scaring children through their closet doors to collect their screams for a multi billion dollar company ran by a 8 legged freak. 🚪👻💀😱
I will never understand why this man doesn't shave his head. Great conversation though.
was thinking the same haha bet he woud look alot better bald
Because from his perspective in front of the mirror, he still sees LOTS of hair.
he is too lazy to not look like a slob
Seriously he should grow out the beard and shave the whole head he's handsome!
@@bigjoncash4297 But not too lazy to write books, be successful, and have useful insights? What does that say about everyone who is wasting their time trying to polish the turd of their looks? Apparently you're too lazy to capitalize letters or use punctuation, you must put every ounce of effort into grooming every day. Keep it up guess?
H-E double hockey sticks is your guest an engaging speaker. Historians are just so likable. DKG and Michael Beschloss come to mind...
Just "discovered" you Lex. Impressive guy, impressive and important content. Subbed and will be back. You have a bunch of interviews with people I love hearing from. Thanks buddy!
Really enjoyed this discussion! I was always perplexed by how influential Kissinger was among the most powerful people in the world. I suspect He was always fostering close personal relationships with whoever the current director of the CIA happened to be. Being able to keep secrets is a very powerful tool when it comes to foreign affairs. Listening to this conversation makes me wish I could have been there so I could ask questions! LOL Thanks again for sharing I have not really thought about Kissinger in at least 20 years or so. I am very interested in history and believe the truth is way more messy than what makes it into the history books.
First time I have heard another person mention those people referred to as Court Jews. Very interesting story of a people and time.
Like the original Rothschild guy in England.
@@Jimi_Lee Yes. Exactly.
Scriber in ancient times as well..
@@Jimi_Lee Nathan Rothschild wasn't the original, it was Mayer of Frankfurt.
Now consider Shakespeare's take on lawyers.
Kissinger's policy of playing China against the Soviet Union has the greatest long lasting effect on geo-politics.
Yep. And now China and the Soviet Union are playing us against ourselves.
@@toddgaak422 If the occupant of the White House had any brains he would apply Reverse Kissinger onto the Chinese. But given 'ole Joe's foreign policy record, not likely.
@@furmanodell because you know more than the secretary of state right
@@crowdic Blinken has no clue either. He sat there and took a beating from the Chinese in Alaska like a dog. I have never disrespect like it on our soil...
He just helped intensify animosity, China and the USSR had issues with each other as soon as Stalin died.
New listener here. You are one of the most interesting TH-cam channels I've encountered in a good while.
Really good research done. Epic job.
A very interesting discussion about a former high profile figure, who's name still raises interest after many years.
Jeremi Suri's book sounds like a good read.
Have no fear, Kissinger at 99 is still QUITE active and powerful behind the scenes, like he always has been. While I'm a realist, I can't shake the sense that Kissinger was unnecessarily evil and had/has a different agenda for the US than most US citizens would consider to be in our best interest.
Thank you Lex for all your work, thank you for hosting this great conversation and opening the book on these critical topics to understanding the world which we all find ourselves in.
Lex, I've listened to about 20 of your episodes and wanted to thank you for spreading knowledge, seeking insight and making the case for love. Keep up the great work.
"love" at the expense of lies probably.
sorry but many of Lex's guests are nothing else but bias foot soldiers of their elite overlords.
even this guy in the video isn't really critical of Kissinger. he is more or less "fascinated" by him.
Impressed with JS analysis, Great JOB explaining critical part of history, Thanks for sharing
Great conversation, fascinating topics were discussed. Thanks for this!
i just wish this dude would get a haircut
Great conversation
Great video today . I loved the subject .thanks
Kissinger perfectly fits the caricatures the fringes portrayed him as. He’s one of the worst people in American history. He didn’t just luckily get to these positions. He greatly benefited from nepotism and lobbying from special interests groups. This dynamic still exist.
are you FearlessP4P1????
He was juuu
I am really amazed how this is the 1st TH-cam video mentioned Henry Kissinger ; this dude is the No.1 VIP guest for China as he really smoothed the relationship between US & China and contributed significantly to the China's rise.
Another nefarious act then. Devastating for world peace, world economics, and the environment
@@frilansspion It was probably deliberate to keep China from having an alliance with the USSR. After all, China profited immensely from western economies, much more then they ever could if they stayed closed off.
so now we're empathizing with and humanizing the biggest warmonger in the world?
Exactly. With so much New World Order propaganda, I can only react as we small fishes can: downvoted and unsubscribed. Me need no stinking world government.
How do you expect to understand Henry Kissinger without empathizing with him? Empathizing just means "understand and share the feelings of another".
Lex is quite obviously a lizard brained sociopath who suffers from the black and white thinking of capitalist good commie bad since he is from Ukraine.
Yes because he was a human just like you
To defeat your enemy you need to understand him. To undo or change what biggest warmonger did you need to see the human in him
..and very insightful. Great interview for sure.
Brilliant conversations. Thank you.
I am definitely not intellectual enough or Lex and his guests, yet I can always follow the conversations. I truly appreciate this ability to speak to all that are interested in these complex topics. I appreciate this podcast.
Ditto!
i think youre more intelligent than you give yourself credit for if you can follow along.
Me too, fascinated with intelligent podcasts and it makes sense to see and understand why the Western way of life is bewildering to us ordinary people who come from third world countries (this label framed by colonialists) as we progressed without interfering in the dirty politics outside India. I see a link to colonial powers and those who fled wars due to these 2 figures _ UK and US and their cronies
That was a profound moment when you both touched on the topic of trauma - Lex, thank you for your willingness to be vulnerable in what you shared. Can you please bring on Gabor Maté re the topic of trauma and addiction? There's so much that we can all gain from understanding how our parents unwittingly pass their brokenness on to us, how it shapes our personality, and how we all have an opportunity to process that trauma and break the cycle (from a place of love and understanding).
Does he have a book?
@@sperez3275 The myth of Normal
Here's a boost for discussing/understanding parental influence--conjugal fraudulence. We're delivered to this understanding; we're, unfortunately the product of need and mutual dependency. Parents are still working this out, individually, when more children come along. What to do? Admit the marriage is a conscription--to one another, and the babies? Fat chance of that. Possibly some few couples enter into baby making with mutual surrender--"We'll make these babies for our God's eternal company. That's it. No restrictions from us." Mary & Joseph did this, for One Child--special case. Who else? The Kissingers of Germany? Who's asking?

Much needed interview. Thank you Lex
Just for context, "Gymnasiumlehrer" is a highschool/ grammar school teacher, not a Professor (as in university), still someone with status (back then).

Kissinger also was instrumental in creating the Petro-dollar. Which allows the US military to be rented to the highest bidder
Henry Kissenger on china was one of the most fascinating books I read in a while.
Wow, I need this now. I’m leaving to watch the whole thing. You should’ve sent this to me a year ago.
Wish one day we can have Mayo Zambada in these Lex clips. A career criminal. Most powerful and dangerous man in Mexico. A career that expands since 1975 til today. Has built an empire that overlaps 6 out of 7 continents.
He inspired Klaus’s WEF
I read a book called "Henry the knife" back in the 80s very enlightening.
Lex dropped the ball about the evil monster
A war criminal.
The Trial of Henry Kissinger by C. Hitchens covered this in depth.
The guy who said "the illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer" (or something to that effect) should never be seen as a role model..

That's AntiSemetic
@@skp8748 lol
If that's what you took away from this video, you are exactly the kind of person who makes it impossible to have reasonable discussions about controversial people and events.
Kissinger isn't evil. He has done some evil things. He has done some good things. He is a complicated, powerful person. Can you say for sure that you would've caused less harm in his position? I don't think you can, and if you assume you can, ask yourself what makes you so confident - ask yourself what makes you so sure you'd always make the right call.
People who make bad calls are just as confident in their decisions as you are in your ability to avoid them. That kind of self-assured attitude is precisely what fools people into making bad decisions.

Though short, this was the most insightful analysis of Kissinger that I've heard. His unethical aspect is well known. But what drives him, his rise to power, and his approach; I find that interesting.

Refreshing to hear, especially now...

Much appreciated 😊❤
All that back room stuff did not work. Where is the USA today! Lots to think about.
Imagine bringing democracy to the land, where you overthrew democracy 60 years ago, after learning about democracy from it 200 years prior.
Nice conversation.
Kissinger said "diplomacy is the art of restraining power".
He also observed "it never ceases to amaze me how extraordinary men are bought undone by the most ordinary of things".
In Diplomacy, he says "the new world order will be fully visible by 2045".
Kissinger has a company called Kissinger & Associates.
A great statesman, but at 99 years old, times up.
15:05 ""you get this mutual dependency in a Hegelian way [..] Kissinger builds this through ego and performance""
such an interesting deconstruction of a...remarkable man. Thank you Lex, I'm learning a lot about human nature through your discourse.

Fascinating episode
the guest sounded like he was doing an impression of David Brooks (the columnist) at times throughout this interview.
Is this the whole interview? Did I miss the part where you guys speak about the real influences on the world stage?
You mean the lizard people?
Yews
The smile Suri has on his face when he describes Latin America and Africa as irrelevant to Kissinger because they have no power is diabolical.
sounds like you're looking for something that isn't there imo
10:49 what’s that smile made from? GOLD!
Kissingers international seminar was set up in 1950 by his mentor William Yandell Elliott a political advisor to six US presidents. Klaus Schwab was selected to attend Kissinger's seminar where he was mentored by Herman Kahn & John Kenneth Galbraith from 1964-67. They would go on to create the European Management Symposium which became the European Management Forum and then the World Economic Forum. Interesting to note that Kissingers international seminar was funded by the CIA through 'American friends of the middle east' founded by Kermit Roosevelt Jr, the 'Farfield foundation' a front for covert funding & the Asia Foundation founded in 1951 also as a CIA operation
The other question is "How come people attack statues of Columbus while Kissinger is alive?" - yes, he is still alive at age 98 even though he's a war criminal.
