Zbigniew Brzezinski, National Security Adviser to Jimmy Carter, Dies at 89
NY Times ^ | 5/26/2017 | DANIEL LEWIS

Posted on 05/26/2017 7:50:23 PM PDT by 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.

It looks like he’s wearing an upside-down doggie dish as a hat. Once seen, cannot be unseen.

There is a WWII vet in Austin that just turned 111.

Smokes cigars and drinks hard liquor every day.

Zbig hated the Russians.

I don't think he cared all that much for the Americans, either.

Amazing that Kissinger is outliving all these people.

I just noticed that Kissinger is three days older than my Dad would have been. My Dad was born on traditional Memorial Day, May 30, 1923.

Yeah, I’m not sure that being the most conservative war hawk in the Carter administration is necessarily a good thing.
