    Opening up trade with China ended up very well for the U.S. Such an effective statesman xigma-male

    What is this dipshit even trying to say, man.

    Is he really that bothered by people ... not respecting Kissinger's "accomplishments" enough? They're making fun of him too hard?

    HENRY KISSINGER POISONED PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST

    HIS DEALS WERE NOT ABOUT ESTABLISHING PEACE BUT SECURING POWER

          The "shuttle diplomacy" everyone praises? That event was Kissinger ushering in the ultimate betrayal of the West against the Arab world. Leaders like Hafez al-Assad of Syria took it as a personal slight. From that moment, he realized there was no negotiating with the West for Palestinians and made it his personal mission of vengeance against Israel and the West as his legacy. Prior to the 70' and 80's, suicide attacks were considered a grave sin in Islam. al-Assad and some other leaders sought out imams who were specifically pro-suicide attacks and pushed them onto resistance groups. There is a reason the first Islamic suicide attack does not happen until the 1980's. Had Kissinger not been so duplicitous, we'd live in a very very different world. No 9/11. No bus and cafe bombings in Israel in the 80's. No Paris nightclub attack. This is part of Kissinger's legacy as much as those in the Arab world who pushed it.

      Do you think his username is "Mr. Beat" in the hopes that people will misspell "Mr. Beast" and accidentally click on his channel?

        Mr. Beat existed quite a bit before Mr. Beast. I actually watched him quite a bit in my history classes in high school. Some of his video subjects made me move much further left. Buck v. Bell specifically, nobody else talks about how fucking horrifying that case is

    Henry Kissinger should've been tortured to death by the vietnamese long time ago. There. This is the nuanced view.

      It’s Twitter, there’s no room for nuance in 144 characters, it’s the hot take platform.

    "He killed millions."

    "He did. But have you considered how bad it is to dunk on him?"

    Idk man millions dead ain't a good thing

    Literally no one disagrees with that but score that cheap clout.

    Also this "no one disagrees with that [fact]" is so obviously wrong.
