What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Henry Kissinger mainly in connection with two points, which recur from one session to the next. The first is the paradox of his Nobel Peace Prize, received while he was advising Nixon during the bombing of Indochina and Vietnam. He recalls this in 2022, then in 2024 and 2025123. The second is what he regards as his greatest diplomatic achievement: having brought about, with Nixon, the separation of Beijing and Moscow45. He refers to this in his analyses of the international situation, notably at the time of the war in Ukraine. More recently, he also cites his name among others to illustrate the Germanic character of white, WASP America67. The name already appears in 2019, in a session devoted to Racine, where it serves as an example, though the passage does not specify how it is used8.
