RIP, I did not agree with him on much but you have to admit he was the most powerful Foreign minister America had, period.
Deal with it. He was a product of his time, deal with it.
80,000 dead people in south America, and empowering Iran's current theocracy after it came to power. Nothing like a drugs for America's streets guns for Iran deal. It is just black people dying, right?
of course,
600,000 directly dead in Cambodia, and the backlash of the Khmer Rouge that followed. another 1,500,000 dead.
350,000 directly dead in Laotian civilians. Bombs away.
Of course we cannot forget Chile, knifing democracy in the back and installing Pinochet, followed by mass executions.
And of course, one of his favorite projects, the Indonesian invasion Occupation/Rape of East Timor, a mere
300,000 dead. The sick thing about this one? The USA flipped sides in 1999 and put an end to Kissinger's little project. The whole thing was completely pointless murder.
And lets not forget Kissinger's Bangladesh genocide, with the help of the Pakistani army, committed because Kissinger wanted to "subvert the aspirations of independence on the part of the Bengalis".
3,000,000 dead,
30,000,000 displaced.
Lets not forget the Vietnam war. Do I even need to go into that one? I am showing about 1,500,000 dead on that one.
That puts us at 7,330,000 dead people so far for Kissinger.
I am sure I have forgotten a few. Anyone want to add some more bodies to the pile?
I think I would rather not deal or give foreign misters that kind of power. Seems very undemocratic and profoundly . . . evil.
