I'm actually kinda sad that Kissinger is dead, because it means he successfully went his entire life without facing consequences for his war-crimes.

He died a free man, instead of dying in prison.

As others have said, sometimes you just need to take what you can get.

The devil will step off from his throne and bow to Kissinger as he ascends to take his rightful place.

For people who have no morals and only want their side to win at all costs, Kissinger was a great man.

That's a great way to put it.

I mostly understood that position after looking through a few Neocon meme places and realized their positions are just… idk.

You know, from seeing them claim their love of Democracy, I genuinely cannot tell you if they actually love it or not.

Just asking a question my friend.

Same here my friend.

I would have to say "no" to that question...

For reasons why, I would say that being a decent human being is reason enough.

If you still want more information, listen to the Behind the bastards podcast series on Kissinger.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Nov 29 (Reuters) - Former United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger died on Wednesday at his home in Connecticut at the age of 100, Kissinger Associates, Inc said in a statement.


The original article contains 32 words, the summary contains 32 words. Saved 0%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

That's a great summary.
