    to me Kissinger is just some machine, he was ruthless, barbaric, but very cunning. The other war criminals like George Bush, joe Biden, Victoria Nuland, and even Cheney weren’t nearly as smart or cunning as Kissinger was. It gives me so much satisfaction to see these war-criminals destroy Kissinger’s legacy through their own stupidity. His work, built on the bloods of millions to prop up US imperialism is now collapsing thanks to these war-mongering, unbelievably stupid, imperialist jackals like Nuland and Joe Biden.

    People like him do not care in the slightest about their reputation, but when they see the work they built being torn to shreds, it makes them go ballistic. I hope this guy lives long enough to see the collapse of america, it’ll be the ultimate irony.

    To quote the late Anthony Bourdain (RIP):

    Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.

    Kissinger is becoming a meme. For sure he is bad. He is very bad. But let’s not make him a scapegoat.

    All the American elite was (and is) corrupt and they are war criminals. Kissinger, sure, but the Clintons (both) the Bush (both), Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell etc etc - they are AS guilty as Kissinger.

    Focus on the system, not only the names.

    For those of us not very familiar with US politics, the “is” in this title is very confusing 😂

    Had to go to Wikipedia, the fucker turned 100 this year
