I wonder if Hillary still expresses concern for her pals Johnny Chung, Charlie Trie, John Huang, the Riady brothers and the long since dead....Vince Foster!
Kissinger, for his part, spent a lot of time wondering how President Ronald Reagan won the Cold War without his help. That, conservatives shot back, was the point. Victory in the Cold War was beyond the comprehension of foreign policy experts like Kissinger until it was achieved.
Yep, Kissinger always represented the blind Globalist Elitist Crowd. Certainly not the interest of the US.
Kissinger worked for Nixon during Bernie’s communist anti war hippie days and Nixon was far worse than Stalin to the red diaper Jewish anti war crowd
Because to those who understand it, Bernie was showing his 60’s communism. He also blamed Kissinger for the killing fields of Cambodia, which was the fault of the Kmher Rouge communists and the democrats in our Congress who barred us from any military action in Cambodia.
Bernie is a leftist lunatic straight out of the hippie era.
In a twisted way, I can see why Shrillary would admire Kissinger, given his reputation as a womanizer. He must remind her of someone else in her life.
As a practitioner of classic balance of power politics on the grand scale, Kissinger’s opening to China “balanced” the Soviet Union, and over the long haul led China to stop destroying its own economy. His global efforts helped keep the Soviet Union from swallowing more imperial conquests, thus leading to the collapse of the most reckless experiment in human history (the Nazis being a by-product thereof, that would have been stillborn without without the threat of Communism). Kissinger made errors and compromised pure values for strategic ends; that is fair game for criticism. But it’s a small wonder Bernie Sanders would detest Henry Kissinger.
Let’s compare Hillary’s and Kissinger’s knowledge of history and foreign affairs, strategic vision, and accomplishments as National Security Advisor and SoS with hers. Ouch.
Because like Hillary he is a refugee from the 1960s. Nixon/Kissinger were the ultimate boogiemen to this group.
Interesting story to be written about the generational divide between the Reagan era candidates in the GOP Primary vrs the last dying gasps of the 1960s political generation in the Democrat Primary.
Youngsters don’t get the Hate Henry stuff.
Ok, I will put it terms the little commits will understand:
Henry Kissinger is Darth Vader from the Episodes I-III.
Dick Cheney is Luke Skywalker in Episode IV-VI. Except in our universe, Luke goes to the Dark Side.
Henry morphed into the Evil Emperor, and Cheney is now the older Darth Vader.
Does that make it clear?
Sander’s got this one right!
Regardless of whether or not Sanders is right about Kissinger, I thought it was very odd when I heard him invoke Kissinger’s name during the debate last night. How many voters under the age of 45 even know who Kissinger is? During the next debate, he plans to unleash a stinging rebuke of John Foster Dulles.
