    Assuming this is in good faith.

    • prolonging the war in Vietnam
    • secret bombing in Cambodia
    • supporting Suharto in East Timor
    • Turkey invading Cyprus
    • Western Sahara
    • Latin America

    Pretty much one of the worst pieces of shit to ever live, for which, he won the Nobel Peace Prize.

    Anthony Bourdain said

    Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands…

      What gets left out of this is how much he had to lie and scheme to do it all, which makes it worse to me. There’s a lot to be said about the failings of the US military and general diplomacy throughout our history, but holy fuck.

      That one guy is responsible for forcing (through deceit and other trickery) a big proportion of some of the worst atrocities our country has committed. He’s seriously among the very worst people I can think of.

        No, he died peacefully of old old age. He did not get the death he deserved in a public square, drawn and quartered. I would also have settled for slow impalement.
