I am no fan of Kissinger on matters of policy or analysis.
BTW did you know that for his German accent in English, his American accent when he speaks German is really pronounced.
So either he’s not genuine about not having an American accent when he speaks German or he’s not genuine about having a German accent when he speaks English.
He came here when he was 13. His accent shouldn’t be this pronounced.
I heard this when I was in college, 25 years ago. Henry’s brother was being interviewed, and the reporter noticed he had no discernible accent. He asked if they came to the state’s at the same time. The brother replied (something like) “Oh, the accent? Henry’s a little slow”.
