One of the worst war criminals in our history that got off entirely scot-free and probably had a happy life until he died at hundred. He is responsible for the deaths of millions and was never prosecuted for it. In a list of people deserving of being executed he would have been on one of the first places.

The world is a better place now that they are dead, slightly better, they did a lot of bad shit we are still dealing with, but still, better.

Well, it would be no surprise to me if the messed up nature of the past 3-4 years was because Kissinger still being alive was throwing the whole world of balance.

So him dead, is actually a sign of hope.

That much condensed evil going on well past his time is an abomination to the natural order.

Can you elaborate on that? Honestly I’m not very familiar with the guy except the name, and the news articles were obviously mostly positive

Here’s a great article that’s starting to make the rounds. He was an awful person.

He’s responsible for carpet bombing Cambodia, indirectly killing millions of people, and basically destroying the country. The rich elite love him for some reason but he’s basically a war criminal.

Who the hell is Kissinger

One of Gatsby’s partygoers in The Great Gatsby. One of the few who went to his funeral at the end, if I recall correctly. 😏
