Henry Kissinger

Henry Kissinger, US diplomat whose unapologetic promotion of raw American power helped shape the post-World War II world, died at the age of 100, Wednesday, his consulting firm has said. 

Four years after his last trip to China in November 2019, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is visiting again. A lot has changed in the interim. The Covid-19 pandemic dramatically influenced relations between the West and China. Both sides are now in a delicate process of reducing dependencies - to the extent this is feasible in a globalized world.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping met former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger in Beijing on Thursday, state media reported, describing the 100-year-old as a "legendary diplomat".

Kissinger used the visit to call for a rapprochement between the United States and China, which remain at loggerheads over a range of disputes, from human rights to trade and national security.

The 100-year-old former U.S. statesman has become the latest person to be pranked by a couple known as Vovan and Lexus, according to Russian media.

Franz Broseph seemed like any other Diplomacy player to Claes de Graaff. The handle was a joke - Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I reborn as an online bro - but that was the kind of humor that people who play Diplomacy tend to enjoy. The game is a classic, beloved by the likes of John F.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron have decided to become much more actively involved in the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, the media write.
Proof of this is the joint letter addressed to the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vui, which, unlike some previous statements, does not exude diplomatic sophistication or statesmanlike restraint.

Russian forces have shelled more than 40 cities in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region, the Ukrainian military said, threatening to close the last major escape route for trapped civilians on their four-month invasion. In his traditional evening video address, President Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated that Ukraine will not cede its territory to Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has issued a bitter rebuke to the West for not doing enough to help Kiev win the war, as fierce battles rage in the country's east and Russian troops draw ever closer to encircling a key industrial city.

Recent years have seen a lot of talk about fake news on social media. This is justified.

Henry Kissinger famously once said that Germany is too big for Europe but too small for the world. Today, considerable changes to the international balance of power mainly due to the emergence of systemic multipolarity raise the question of European leadership giving a new dimension to Kissinger's old quote.
