You all it's been so long I don't remember. I remember the name "Kissinger" but don't remember what he did. A short history lesson please. Thank you

Well China praised Kissinger as one of the best friends they’ve ever had.

Henry Kissinger represented everything that has been wrong with America in my lifetime.

He passed away at the age of 100. Did he ever have a real job in his life?

Epstein didn’t kill himself.
Joe McCarthy was right.
The Ramones didn’t go far enough.

Rolling Stone is \not\ wrong.

He advised Nixon to carpet bomb Hanoi and Cambodia and several other locales.

He brought the North Vietnamese to the negotiating table and ended the war.

At the cost of several 10s of thousands of lives.

Few times I agree with Rolling Stone or many leftists. This is one of them.

He became a Chinese Communist agent, his alligience was to them.

Thoroughly corrupt, made multi-millions working to further Chicom interests over the last 40 years.

He is the godfather of the swamp.

I think he was ultimately a traitor to the US, of which he was a naturalized citizen, having been given refuge from Nazis in his youth.

Evil disguised as urbanity and sophistication.

Worse than Klaus Schwabe and George Soros.

Among other accomplishments, he abandoned our Vietnam era prisoners of war.

Kissinger was brilliant. No other Sec of State since was as respected by our enemies since. I can think of few others who did more than Kissinger to thwart Soviet influence in the western hemisphere.

1. “War criminal”? Needlessly inflammatory rhetoric.

2. One of his lesser known but worst mistakes was trying to keep Nixon from saving Israel during the Yom Kippor War. Fortunately, the Israeli PM, Golda Meir, got through to Nixon by late night phone, and he overruled Kissinger.

HK was instrumental in convincing Bobby Fischer to play the Russian Boris Spassky in the World Chess Championship back in ‘72.

Some of my fellow getting discounts at IHOP crowd may recall Lyndon Larouche doing his hour long presidential campaign commercials and going on an extended rant about Kissinger being a Soviet agent of influence. I have no idea either way, but Larouche sure was convinced and those commercials were entertaining.

I'd say that his most lasting accomplishment was as the architect of the China-appeasement and nurturing strategy that has been followed by Nixon and every subsequent US president - the outcome has been a Communist rival that threatens the US militarily and economically.

I have no love whatsoever for Kissinger. That said, I won't join the leftists in rejoicing over his death - the time to oppose a man's actions and policies is when he is enacting them, not decades later when he dies of old age. And in any event, today's Left is a far bigger threat to world democracy than Kissinger ever was.
