They have been surprised by how quickly china and russia, how close theyve got just in the past few years. i think there has been talk among some, chuck, that america might try to do what they call a reverse kissinger, try and pull russia away from china in order to put more pressure on china. i dont think thats likely to happen. >> no, i think were a long way from that. keir, very quickly, china has its own relationship with ukraine. theres some unconfirmed reports out there that xi has essenti...

I mean, this idea of doing, if you like, a reverse kissinger and perhaps pulling russia away from china because china is now the bigger threat is an idea that does the rounds and think tanks you will have heard it talked about, but its not as simple as that because for the moment these two countries do have shared interests. what is the case, however, is i think that in the long run you clearly can identify divergent interests and actually say china is the rising power, its economy is much, much...

Russian reliance on china. >> gideon, arent these two countries very different in a kind of odd couple, in a way? china is fundamentally a rising power, russia is fundamentally a declining power. atlantic council has a nice interesting report on the two called axis of collusion, the fragile putin/xi relationship. it makes a point theres all this rhetoric of partnership but underneath it chinese investment in russia is actually declining. the chinese are not trying to help russia, for example, di...

Europes greatest 19th century statesman was otto von bismarck whose strategy was always to have better relations with each of his adversaries than they had among one another. ever since richard nixon and henry kissinger drew china away from the soviet union in 1972 for decades the u.s. was closer to russia and china than they were to each other, but not anymore. there was talk in washington about attempting a reverse kissinger, an effort to win moscow away from beijing and the biden administrati...

For decades the u.s. was closer to russia and china than they were to each other, but not anymore. there was talk in washington about attempting a reverse kissinger, an effort to win moscow away from beijing and the biden administration moved in that direction last year, but that was a naive misunderstanding of vladimir putin whose response has been to initiate the current crisis. perhaps what was needed was not a reverse kissinger, but simply kissinger. in other words, an effort to have a bette...

That meeting to turn the page on four of the strangest years in u.s./russian diplomatic history. it seems to me the sooner an american president, whoever that american president may have been, who followed donald trump, the sooner the meeting, the better. >> for sure. if you look at some of the great periods of american diplomatic history, its talking to americas worst enemies. its forging alliances with stalin. its talking to the chinese during the cold war, kissinger, breaking off chinas relat...

Of -- china is -- ed is completely right. china is our biggest competitor. china wants to rule the world. russia doesnt have a prayer at doing so. theyre not even in the same basket. >> so kissinger -- so henry kissinger was wrong when he wrote his book, theyre just worried about themselves. >> i think is certainly no longer the case. kissinger could call you up tomorrow morning and tell you that, you know, that he wasnt -- its such -- when you look at the american national overall national secu...

Fearful of russia, but they like putinism. so theyre a complicated country, because theyve been borrowing a lot of tactic ths f moscow. of course, orban in hungary is the original illiberal democracy champion. they are both stalwarts of nato, though, to which china has been increasingly effective overtures. so i think if were looking at history and the bearing it could have on today, the split of china from the soviet union in the 1970s, you know, that kissinger maneuver, there is a debate aroun...
