      While this man lived to 100 and nothing ever bad came his way… Part of me would’ve liked for him to suffer but at least he’s gone now.

    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

      Kissinger bombed hundreds of thousands of innocent Vietnamese, Cambodian and Laotian civilians, and they gave him a fucking peace prize because he finally stopped.

      He is responsible for Pol Pot’s rise to power so he’s indirectly to blame for Pol Pot’s regime. You can’t bomb a country to hell and not be responsible for the aftermath.

          None of them attacked innocent civilians in Cambodia: Kissinger bombed innocent civilians in Cambodia. And then after it became known that Pol Pot was a genocidal lunatic, the west started supporting Pol Pot AFTER it became known what he did until his death, while the communists attacked and deposed Pol Pot.

          It’s always the same: the west murders indiscriminately people in the global south and then act all innocent when this radicalizes the survivors.

          Edit: you also mention Vietnam. What Kissinger did there was also monstrous.

      all who died in the aftermath, like the Cambodian genocide their destabilization set into motion — died because of Henry Kissinger.

      That seems like an actual vs proximate cause issue. We don’t blame some Austrian art school for the Holocaust.

      he lead the peace process in Vietnam

      He sabotaged the peace process in Vietnam because it was going to happen under Johnson and he didn’t want Johnson to carry that win into his election against Nixon.
