Death of a Cold Warrior and national treasure.

Remembering the CIA Director who won the Cold War.

This weekend, Glen replays an interview that he and Jerry Bowyer conducted with the Roman Catholic Theologian and scholar, George Weigel, back in 2006.

On a chimerical summer evening more than forty years ago, I witnessed a profoundly disturbing conversation. Decades passed before I was able to fully grasp the significance of that discussion, and even when I did, a combination of [...]

“Kissinger and Nixon placed détente with the Soviets above all else. Their approach was pure Machiavellian realpolitik. They did not frame the U.S.-Soviet confrontation as good vs. evil, as Reagan did. Their goal wasn’t to defeat the Soviet Union. Their prevailing priority was getting along with the Soviets. They pursued that objective at almost any expense, whether keeping Eastern Europeans captive behind the Iron Curtain or keeping Russian Jews from emigrating.”
