Just googling for any news on Henry Kissinger and found various articles dedicated towards bashing him and his policies, though I didn't take any of these seriously for obvious reasons, they raised some questions that I thought would be interesting if discussed here, feel free to delete this thread though if a pre-existing thread has covered this topic already more effectively.
Anyway as the thread title asks, what were the chances of an all-out war occurring between the Soviet Union and China during the era of the Sino-Soviet split? Was it greatly exaggerated or a real possibility of conflict as much as any major 'flashpoint' of the cold war? Please try and avoid country bashing, jingoism or any disruptive activities that would result in this thread's closure.
