to believe in genuine friendship in politics is naive. it's a game of power and advantage.
henry kissinger once remarked, 'it may be dangerous to be america's enemy, but to be america's friend is fatal.'
Please don't take Henry's statement out of context. The original statement doesn't meant like that. henry kissinger once remarked, 'it may be dangerous to be america's enemy, but to be america's friend is fatal.'

Word should be gotten to Nixon that if Thieu meets the same fate as Diem, the word will go out to the nations of the world that it may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.
Kissinger said this in late November 1968 after Nixon was elected president, but before Nixon was inaugurated.It wasn't a public statement, just a statement to William F. Buckley Jr. in a phone call, with Buckley taking notes, so it isn't verifiable beyond Buckley (author of United Nations Journal: A Delegate's Odyssey).
