Antony John Blinken (born April 16, 1962) is a Statesian politician and the current U.S. Secretary of State. He described China as the "most serious long-term challenger to the international order."

In the 1980s, Blinken interviewed Henry Kissinger for his Harvard senior thesis about the trans-Siberian pipeline, which the U.S. attempted to sabotage by various unilateral economic means in the early 1980s to prevent the pipeline's construction between Russia and Western Europe. Regarding the pipeline issue, Blinken wrote the 1987 book Ally Versus Ally: America, Europe, and the Siberian Pipeline Crisis in which he explores the inherent and persistent fractures in the Western alliance which stem from the fundamental difference between US and European economic interests in trading with the Eastern Bloc, which he explains are particularly inflamed in peacetime and by megaprojects, such as gas pipelines, and that future megaprojects are likely to raise continued inner tensions among the Western allies.

Disinformation

Blinken claimed that the USSR covered up the 1941 Babyn Yar massacre, in which Nazis murdered 34,000 Jews and tens of thousands of Roma and Communists. In reality, the USSR liberated Babyn Yar in 1943 and then tried 15 German policemen in 1946.
