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.
Yes. After one of the genocides he helped enable but before the other genocides he went on to help enable.
He’s not the only genocidaire to get the Nobel Peace Prize but he’s probably the most egregiously evil of them.
The US Dollar being the international standard currency of business and international trade does that… Of course having a military and military budget that exceeds the sum of the next 5 biggest militaries helps.
This a bit out of date.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.

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.
Can’t believe this fucker lived longer than Betty White!

This guy is almost singlehandled responsible for everything that happened in Vietnam. Good riddance.
That’s very narrow-minded. He committed atrocities in Cambodia too. Good riddance indeed.
I won’t miss seeing his op-eds published during major conflicts like he was some kind of diplomatic guru. What a monster.
And Laos. And indirectly Bangladesh and Chile.
Better go stand in the line to spit on his grave now, it’s going to be a long one.
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/
