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.

Wasn’t this guy awarded some kind of Nobel prize for peace or something?
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.
Also the North Vietnamese counter part Lê Đức Thọ did not accept the prize as his country still didnt see peace.
So Kissinger received the peace prize for a non existing peace.

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.
Good thing my mom can’t get health care.
Hoo-Rah!

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.
And East Timor, Pakistan, Argentina...

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.

Someone on another thread shared this blunt exposition of Kissinger's many sins against the country and the world.

Robert Evans sends his regards!
Yeh fuck this scumbag guy!!
I sure can't wait for uninformed people to mourn his death
I mourn his death insofar that it happened now. Not 40-80 years ago!

Good fucking riddance. The amount of damage he did to the world and humanity in general is incalculable.
83 years too late. how other people can be around such a monster and not bash is fucking head in is baffling to me,
“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
They're too busy taking lessons form him... aka Hillary Clinton.
why is this downvoted? Clinton expressed multiple times in the last decade that Kissinger is a close consultant and mentor of her.

"I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."
Kind of inspirational really, makes me want to be a good enough person so that people aren't actually glad to hear that I'm dead lol
It's a low bar, but not necessarily a bad one.
Oh my God!
