From Wikipedia:

Due to his adherence to an approach to politics called Realpolitik, which prioritizes pragmatic geopolitical considerations over moral or ideological values, Kissinger has been criticized for turning a blind eye to war crimes committed by American allies during his tenure.[6]

A number of activists and human rights lawyers have sought to prosecute him for war crimes committed by American allies during his tenure.[8][150] Kissinger has been associated with such controversial policies as the U.S. bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam War, U.S. involvement in the 1973 Chilean military coup, a “green light” to Argentina’s military junta for their Dirty War, and U.S. support for Pakistan during the Bangladesh Liberation War despite a genocide being perpetrated.[255]

Oh! Is that why they gave him the Nobel piss prize?

At least the cartoon here is accurate in that you pluck one, but there are many others who are the same, some not even born yet.

Henry Kissinger How I’m missing yer You’re the Doctor of my dreams

With your crinkly hair and your glassy stare And your machiavellian schemes I know they say that you are very vain And short and fat and pushy but at least you’re not insane

Henry Kissinger How I’m missing yer And wishing you were here

Henry Kissinger How I’m missing yer You’re so chubby and so neat

With your funny clothes and your squishy nose You’re like a German parakeet All right so people say that you don’t care But you’ve got nicer legs than Hitler And bigger tits than Cher

Henry Kissinger How I’m missing yer And wishing you were here.
