Good choice!
"It is not surprising that Brzezinski - like everyone else -
overlooked the possibility that U.S. foreign policy would become
dominated by relations with the weak - sometimes tumultuous - states
of the Muslim and Hindu world."
Ain't that the truth! And, his belittling concern by some over
China also is, at the very kindest, another example of "overlooking"
things! (It's not "empty" concern over China, given China's exporting
not only of weapons but of subversion into other nations, neither of
which Japan has done.)
Why was he so long "finally" to adopt concessions to multipolarity
(and the rise of China, incidentally)?
Brzezinski's geopolitical works and views are worth reading, but
should be augmented by current works that are more hard-headed, as
well as earlier works such as those by Richard Nixon on geopolitics.
