Today, former US Secretary of State turns 100.
why won't you DIE?! adrenoedchildren, son.
Redditors seem happy
I jumped up in joy, reread the caption, and immediately fell back down lmao frick😭
So much antisemitism
The party when he finally fricking eats it. I don’t care if my family doesn’t know why I’m celebrating. I’ll just pour a few shots, down them and be like oh? Kissinger finally croaked and then pour some for anyone else.
Here’s LSC having a good one
It's like you never even saw a star wars movie. Everyone between 70ish and 800ish is evil. There's one little barely achievable path to victory for decent folks, but we're plucky.
Just like heckin Star Wars
I don't see his continued existence as an injustice, but rather, an opportunity, after all, death is a mercy he does not deserve, personally I think we should preserve his brain in a state of eternal, perpetual consciousness, stripped of his senses and any way to interact with the world outside his own mind
And much more!

I like to troll Redditors by reminding them that Kissinger pioneered the policy of détente with the Soviet Union, and opened relations with China, thereby setting the stage for the peaceful end of the Cold War. Had it not been for his realpolitik, we might be sitting in a nuclear wasteland right now.
Yes, Kissinger also bombed some innocent peasants along the way, but so did Barack Obama......

I really don't get the hate for Kissinger. Dude was legitimately a master statesman.

He was Nixon’s Secretary of State. Nixon was the 1970s version of “Orange Man” in the sense that journos and boomer libs freaked out about him, everything he did and everyone who worked for him.
Johnson held waaay more responsibility for Vietnam, but he gets a pass.

Nixon was pretty popular up until the Watergate scandal broke. Was it the anti war element that ferverishly hated him?

He was popular indeed, got reelected with 60% of the popular vote. The people who didn’t vote for him absolutely hated him though, and newspapers like WaPo reeeeeeed during his entire presidency. I know the majority of american boomers are conservatives of republican leaning, but the lib ones are super deranged. They treated Reagan as the devil as well.

Tis true, although I'm not certain humanity wouldn't be better off that way.

If I were to put three portraits up in my bedroom, it would be Tito, Salazar and Kissinger. They were all just so streets ahead
