Zbigniew Brzezinski, who as national security adviser to US President Jimmy Carter advocated a hard line toward the Soviet Union, has died. He was 89. His death was announced in a tweet on Friday night by his daughter, Mika Brzezinski, a co-host of the MSNBC program “Morning Joe”, Bloomberg reported. Brzezinski’s worldview was often compared with that of Henry Kissinger, whose work under presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford gave him similar statesman stature within the Republican Party.
