Zbigniew Brzezinski, National Security Adviser to Jimmy Carter, Dies at 89

[Carriage Hill]

Zbigniew Brzezinski, the hawkish strategic theorist who was national security adviser to President Jimmy Carter in the tumultuous years of the Iran hostage crisis and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the late 1970s, died on Friday at a hospital in Virginia. He was 89.

His death, at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, was announced on Friday by his daughter, Mika Brzezinski, a co-host of the MSNBC program “Morning Joe.”

Like his predecessor Henry A. Kissinger, Mr. Brzezinski was a foreign-born scholar (he in Poland, Mr. Kissinger in Germany) with considerable influence in global affairs, both before and long after his official tour of duty in the White House. In essays, interviews and television appearances over the decades, he cast a sharp eye on six successive administrations, including that of Donald J. Trump, whose election he did not support and whose foreign policy, he found, lacked coherence.

Again I wonder why these evil beings seem to live much longer lives than ordinary people
Because the devil doesn't want them either

I cannot say I am sad over this.

Nope. Don’t have any shits to give.

I’ve spent an aggregate total of weeks in Fairfax iNova, and it’s the best hospital there is.

I have never been to Inova Fairfax but do know people who have and it is truly a great hospital.

I had two minor surgeries at Inova Alexandria (had two total knee replacements) and can say they were fantastic. I think most of the Inova system of hospitals are the premier hospitals in the region.

Zbig was a Catholic who hated the Commies with a passion and never forget the Dems were in bed with the Commies since FDR handed eastern Europe to Stalin.

Even Obama defended Russia and attacked Romney.
Now they use Russia as a punchline in a political game of gotcha.

The One World Government just lost one of its most ardent disciples!! They will mourned as if their homo-over died.

[RetiredArmy]

He may have hated the Russians, but he was a disciple of the One World Government, the Council for Foreign Relations, the Bilderbergers, etc.

God certainly overloaded the Hawaiian language with vowels.
