What a pleasant surprise
“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands.”
-Anthony Bourdain
Someone update the grim reaper claw machine meme.
What a shame...
...that he lived to 100.
FINALLY some good fucking news
REST IN PISS YOU PIECE OF SHIT
Good riddance, better late than never.
Holy shit it really happened.
At first I didn't believe. Now I just want to know where the new outhouse is going to be installed.
interestingly i heard that his heart has already decayed into extremely rich bitumen. they're planning a memorial where once a year they extract a tablespoon to light a small flame and the smoke will be blown into a cambodian infant's face
Don't you jinx my Norwegian synth-pop
I got to excitedly announce this to the room. Today's a good day.
Bye bye fucker! What a horrible douche-canoe that is finally gone.
Not super familiar with him, not sure why he's getting shat on all over Lemmy and praised in the news, and I don't care enough to research him. Could someone give me a TL;DR?
There's a lot, but the shortest version is that he never saw a war crime he didn't like, and he was in a position to make a lot of them happen.
He was in charge of American foreign policy during and immediately after the Vietnam War. TLDR he made policy decisions that led to the deaths of probably over 4 million people.
Could someone give me a TL;DR?
No. But I can do you better: Part One Kissinger | BEHIND THE BASTARDS
Not what I'm looking for, but thanks anyway

Fuck! Spare a thought for the grim reaper.
Give it a week or two. Hell will reincarnate him and send him right back. Even the Devil can't stand Henry Kissinger.
RIP Bozo
Rest in Piss
I had always assumed he died decades ago.
Thank fuck
The devil’s gonna have a bad time with this one!

- Title must match the article headline

- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
