I got a chuckle out of this from the article linked above:
Therefore, Trump has retrieved his road map from the attic. The
presence of Henry Kissinger in the Oval Office for an unscheduled
meeting with Trump just before Lavrov walked in – accompanied by the
famous “Russian spy” Ambassador Sergey Kislayk – has been a deliberate
‘curtain raiser’. Kissinger has longstanding personal equations with
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, and of course the grey cardinal of US
diplomacy had engineered the era of détente with the Soviet Union.

So fascinating how people like Carl, Paul Craig Roberts, Michael Hudson,
Mike Whitney, Diana Johnstone and Boris Kagarlitsky can get so enthused
over Trump and Putin becoming our age's Nixon and Mao. Kissinger was key
to the first rapprochement and seems to be key to the new one.
Under ordinary circumstances, people on the left understand that where
Kissinger goes, Satan follows close behind. But when you decide to
automatically put a plus where Nicholas Kristof puts a minus, the
results stagger the imagination.
