ABC: Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the diplomat with the thick glasses and gravelly voice who dominated foreign policy as the United States extricated itself from Vietnam and broke down barriers with China, died Wednesday, his consulting firm said. He was 100.
With his gruff yet commanding presence and behind-the-scenes manipulation of power, Kissinger exerted uncommon influence on global affairs under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, earning both vilification and the Nobel Peace Prize. Decades later, his name still provoked impassioned debate over foreign policy landmarks long past.
Kissinger’s power grew during the turmoil of Watergate, when the politically attuned diplomat assumed a role akin to co-president to the weakened Nixon.
“No doubt my vanity was piqued,” Kissinger later wrote of his expanding influence. “But the dominant emotion was a premonition of catastrophe.”
A Jew who fled Nazi Germany with his family in his teens, Kissinger in his later years cultivated the reputation of respected statesman, giving speeches, offering advice to Republicans and Democrats alike and managing a global consulting business. He turned up in President Donald Trump’s White House on multiple occasions. But Nixon-era documents and tapes, as they trickled out over the years, brought revelations – many in Kissinger’s own words – that sometimes cast him in a harsh light. MORE
” broke down barriers with China,”
Gee, thanks. Could have done without that one.

NO COMMENT
Sorry, too busy worrying about Israeli children stolen by Hamas and children across the world trafficked by Joe Biden who never returned to their families.
At this point, fuck everything else.
War.
Definitely some mixed feelings here…
God’s will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Greg Kelly just covered this on Newsmax.
Well, if the guy didn’t give birth to Globalism, he sure as hell breast fed it. Not a fan.
My first thought…finally.
Not a fan either so I won’t ask what took him so long? I said I won’t ask but still…..
Hell is FOREVER you miserable Bastard!
About fucking time.
MAGA
What a shame that we all couldn’t have enjoyed watching him be burned at the stake for his crimes against humanity.
Henry died of too many birthdays!
He did say that multiculturalism was a mistake before he died.
kissinger is/was a One World Government weasel, based on his un-American beliefs/actions.

Never been a fan of self appointed masterminds. Used to watch him on the Sunday shows half a decade ago and didn’t like him or his agenda.
In the end, he did more harm than good and couldn’t acknowledge, (or at least own up to) his mistakes.
The formulation of ‘OPEC’ can also be blamed on him!

You so sure they were mistakes? Looking back…. I’m inclined to believe that how things went down, attributing this to mistakes is just a little too convenient.
A globalist, progressive elite “ambassador”. Kissinger was clever and maniacal in propagating a world first agenda during an era of stanch America nationalism. Since he helped weaken American nationalism, definitely not going to applaud his accomplishments.
He was fortunate God let him live so long. Maybe to witness the destruction caused by some of his policies. Obviously, he didn’t consider the significance.
The USPS lost my John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers with Peter Green LP in the mail. I’m super pissed about that.

Only the good die young.
I have mixed feelings about this. I do think he did good things during the Nixon and Reagan administrations. Was he the best? I can make the argument. What is the criteria for being the best?
No, I do not think he is the best person. However, he did provide positive results at the time. My grade is a B
True, Brad. Happens way too often.
Look at some of the Secretaries of State we’ve had recently – Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Anthony Blinken. Setting the bar to a new low.
Reagan didn’t let him anywhere near his administration, he did not approve of his appeasement.

Say hello to Roslyn and RBG when you get there and Just keep reminding yourself it’s a dry heat.
Birthdays are like boogers. The more of them you have, the harder it is to breathe.
How much you wanna bet we now go back to the gold standard?
Ding dong, Henry the K, the stand in for Dr. Strangelove is dead? I never liked the guy or his policies especially towards the chinks. Or his handling of the ending of the Vietnam War. What is it with Germans even if they come over to our side? His ego was far bigger than he was. I am surprised that he lived to be 100.
RIP

Like him or not – he sometimes spoke facts – a rarity in politics.

Kissinger is no doubt engaged in talks to negotiate a peaceful transfer of his soul.
True Story:
My Wife’s Uncle & Aunt were in Israel visiting when Menachem Begin got word they were in country. He went to have Tea with them and made Kissinger wait for well over an hour for A scheduled meeting.
The Prime Minister had Stayed with my wife’s Aunt & Uncle previously while visiting Canada after the War.

*proceeds to do everything in his power the whole rest of his life to turn the United States into every other country*
I honestly have no idea what to think of the man.
Some of his Ideas were Pure Crap others were Good & Reasonable.
One thing I see all the time is that the more Educated & Elevated you are, the less you understand the Fundamentals of life & common people.
The meddler never would shut up about anything – until he died.
Good riddance.
Are we sure?
That shitheel who coined the term “Useless Eaters” just arrived down here and immediately demanded some Wiener Schnitzel…
Satan offered him a taste of his with some Monkshood.
I’ve told you over and over again that adrenochrome only lasts so long and then you’re worm food.
Ann,
It must work quite well, the biggest US Satanic cabal member outside of Soros held on tight to his Luciferian life.
Funny how hard they cling to life knowing how it will actually be when they actually meet their beloved master.
Looking at you Jimmy, Nancy, Chuck, and Pedo McShitstain
To Bob – Yes this blood drenched cocksucker did admit that his whole life long multi-culture Global Government Agenda was a mistake just before he emitted his death rattle. To late you evil shit bird. Say Hi to Ted Kennedy in Hell for us.
Enjoy Santan’s flaming knob up your ass Henry, forever and ever and ever.
No pity from me about that Kissinger guy. The slob was a vile racist running neck-to-neck with Joe Biden plus Kissinger was mentor to the evil Klaus Schwab and helped him found the sinister globalist white privilege WEF. Kissy-Kissy was also a leader in depopulation worldwide of those he didn’t like.
Henry Kissassinger kissed Mao’s ass and paved the way for Nixon to do the same thing.
What good did it ever do to bring the PRC into the world economy? So much of what we buy is made there and lots of it is junk. Millions of Americans are now living in poverty because of jobs sent overseas to China and other places.
Disgusting.
