Leaves A Legacy Of Being America’s Most Notorious & Highly Regarded Diplomats
Henry Kissinger, American diplomat and Nobel winner
Henry Kissinger, an immensely influential former U.S. Secretary of State known for his deep understanding of global diplomacy, died Wednesday at the age of 100. While being widely recognized as “America’s most famous diplomat”, Kissinger was not shielded from being globally criticized for his significant role in escalating U.S. military actions in Vietnam, specifically the carpet bombing in Cambodia. And, in perfect fashion, the Rolling Stone pulled out a favorite play from their progressive extremist playbook: Let no tragedy go to waste.
Almost on cue, like a pistol holstered but unclipped, they shot a news article out enabling them to use Kissinger’s death as an opportunity to virtue-signal. Their attempt at a tribute had a heading & subheading like this:
“Henry Kissinger, War Criminal Beloved By The Ruling Class, Finally Dies”
“The infamy of Nixon’s foreign-policy architect sits, eternally, beside that of history’s worst mass murderers. A deeper shame attaches to the country that celebrates him”

Of course an entertainment media outlet would give such a putrid take on Kissinger’s death. They got one of their little walking, writing, wokester robots (alias Spencer Akerman) to take a potshot at the Kissinger legacy, probably taking time away from BeepBopBoops’ Pro-Hamas protests & the bullying Jewish people (while also pretending to be a Jewish robot). Personally, I didn’t even know the Rolling Stone was still in business until I saw that headline. I’m sure they’ll be joining Vice in bankruptcy court by decade’s end.
Now, I’m not saying that Kissinger wasn’t a flawed man, marred by controversial decisions over a lifetime of politics. But to have such contempt for a person (whom they only new thanks to their ANTIFA “No, This Is The Bad Kind Of War” pamphlet) that they would put “finally dies” atop their article outlining his life; Mr. Victimhood literally spends a paragraph detailing the mass-murderer Timothy McVeigh aka the “Oklahoma City Bomber”, only so he could claim Kissinger was worse.
Measuring purely by confirmed kills, the worst mass murderer ever executed by the United States was the white supremacist terrorist Timothy McVeigh….McVeigh, who in his own psychotic way thought he was saving America, never remotely killed on the scale of Kissinger, the most revered American grand strategist of the second half of the 20th century.
As a Jewish refugee who fled Nazi Germany, Kissinger ascended to the heights of U.S. politics, becoming a prominent figure.
Funny. I didn’t see that part in BeepBop’s piece on Mr. Kissinger. I guess it didn’t fit the narrative.
He served as Secretary of State & National Security Advisor under Presidents Richard Nixon & Gerald Ford and remained a consultant for leaders across the American political spectrum for many years.

Regarded as a foremost diplomat and thinker in international relations of the 20th century, Kissinger was a key proponent of “realpolitik”. He played a pivotal role in normalizing U.S.-China relations and reducing U.S.-Soviet tensions.
During a 1971 visit, Kissinger toured Peking’s Summer Palace with Wang Hsiao-I from the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship With Foreign Countries. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in brokering the agreement that concluded the Vietnam War, sharing the prize with Le Duc Tho from North Vietnam, who declined it. His initiatives were crucial in establishing diplomatic ties between the U.S. and China in the early 1970s.
However, Kissinger also faced widespread condemnation as one of the most controversial public figures of his time, with his legacy closely linked to global conflicts. Anti-War critics like BeepBop accused Kissinger of embodying the harsh aspects of U.S. power, and some of the most consequential foreign policy errors in recent history. Problem with this is that his critics can rarely keep their ideals straight, preferring the idea of “Rules for thee, not rules for me” when picking sides of conflicts. After all, some terrorist attacks are okay, if it’s for the right…I mean…left cause.
He was criticized for his key role in intensifying U.S. involvement in Vietnam, initiating extensive carpet bombing in Cambodia, and supporting oppressive governments in Argentina, Chile, Indonesia, and Pakistan. Many of Kissinger’s harshest critics branded him a war criminal and advocated for his prosecution in international courts.
Still, Kissinger’s legacy will outlast any headline from me or the Rolling Stone. And while Kissinger will always be a controversial figure, no one can say that he didn’t love America, and seek to protect her from foreign influence.
So may question to the audience is:
Was America better for having a Henry Kissinger looking over her?
