The titan of American foreign policy was complicit in millions of deaths — and never showed remorse for his decisions.

    A real life monster who took pleasure from death of millions. Oh and the people who defend this terrorist may suffer the same fate as his victims https://theintercept.com/2023/11/29/henry-kissinger-death/

    There were “few people who have had a hand in as much death and destruction, as much human suffering, in so many places around the world as Henry Kissinger,” said veteran war crimes prosecutor Reed Brody.

      At least Bob Barker had the decency to get as close to 100 as possible without going over.

    The US really looks at war criminals and goes “yeah, they should be able to live out the rest of their lives in peace in their own home, surrounded by loved ones” while at the same time locking up black guys for 20 years because they smoked a funny cigarette. And other countries still take them seriously. We’re all idiots, no exceptions.

      This a bit out of date. Who’s locked up for smoking a joint? Personal use is a ticket in harsh states, and legal in most states.

        Do you think they just happily released all of those who were previously convicted and sentenced for possession just because we may not be as harsh with the sentencing now?

        There are absolutely people whose lives have been ruined over it, still sitting in prison for being the wrong color in the wrong place at the wrong time.

        I’d be curious to know if there’s any confirmation that personal use/possession doesn’t lead to jail time for anybody in the us anymore.

      “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.”

      — Anthony Bourdain

      I literally danced around the house.

      It’s hard to explain but his continued existance was like a shadow over us. The world feels a little bit better.

      I was happy when Pinochet died, Pol Pot died, Suharto died, Comrade Duch died, etc but this man was complicit in all of their crimes and many more besides.

      The real problem is those who are informed, and still see him as a hero…

      I mourn his death insofar that it happened now. Not 40-80 years ago!

    Realism diplomacy is just 19th century style imperialism and interempire alliance with a new name. Look how he appeased Putin during the beginning of russo-ukrainian war. This person has no moral guide and will throw anyone, friend or foe, under the bus to gain perceived nation interest. In the long run it is exactly those moves that harmed US credibility the most.

    Good fucking riddance. The amount of damage he did to the world and humanity in general is incalculable.
