I'm a bit out of the loop, what did Henry Kissinger do?

[–] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 46 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Assuming this is in good faith.

prolonging the war in Vietnam
secret bombing in Cambodia
supporting Suharto in East Timor
Turkey invading Cyprus
Western Sahara
Latin America

Pretty much one of the worst pieces of shit to ever live, for which, he won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Once you've been to Cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands...

What gets left out of this is how much he had to lie and scheme to do it all, which makes it worse to me. There's a lot to be said about the failings of the US military and general diplomacy throughout our history, but holy fuck.

That one guy is responsible for forcing (through deceit and other trickery) a big proportion of some of the worst atrocities our country has committed. He's seriously among the very worst people I can think of.

Wow, what a piece of shit. And he won a Nobel peace prize??? Well deserved death.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago

No, he died peacefully of old old age. He did not get the death he deserved in a public square, drawn and quartered. I would also have settled for slow impalement.

Fuck, I miss Anthony Bourdain.

He used the world's strongest military to illegally invade, occupy, and slaughter some of the poorest people on the planet.

He played a leading role in multiple coups against democratically elected governments, replacing them with brutal violent dictators.

Millions died due to his war crimes, and he was proud of his work.

Run of the mill war crimes, sprinkled with genocide.

[–] BodilessGaze@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Just a little genocide, as a treat

[–] No_Ones_Slick_Like_Gaston@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

The coups and innocent civilians tortured were just the side dish.

This may shed some light.

(Or maybe not, at least a bit of amusement)
