I agree with the sentiment and dislike Kissinger, but that quote is always paraphrased and out of context.
replyThe full quote makes it clear Kissinger was saying, in the context of the Vietnam War, that the US should come to the aid of their friends:
> "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."
I'm well aware of its context and original meaning, and I'm very happy to twist its meaning into something Kissinger would disagree with any chance I get.
replyIn that case... I support you! :)
