Henry Kissinger, a former US secretary of state and national security adviser who escaped Nazi Germany in his youth to become one of the most influential and controversial foreign policy figures in American history, has died, according to a statement from his consulting firm, Kissinger Associates. He was 100.
Well. I never really gathered much direct information on what type of person Kissinger was, but considering the characters of both Anthony Bourdain and Sanders, I think I’ll put him in the burn in hell camp.
Example: He sabotaged a peaceful end to the ciet nam war in 1968 so Nixon could have a better shot at winning the election, and consequently he could gain power. Running on a campaign of ending the war Nixon and Kissinger then did the opposite and bombed the shit out of Cambodia and attacked Laos who were involved in the war.
Example: when a democratic socialist was fairly elected in Chile, Kissinger and the CIA saw to it he was ousted, being replaced by the infamous fascist, Pinochet, who tortured and murdered citizens for years.
He orchestrated a coup in Chile, participated in Operation Condor, lengthened the Vietnam War, set the stage for the Khmer Rouge, and greenlit atrocities in East Timor and Bangladesh
He illegally directed the military to turn cambodia into dust with millions of bombs and had pilots illegally erase their flight logs to cover up their locations
