Each and every time I see Kissingers name in an article title, for the briefest of moments I’m filled with hope, and each and every time I am disappointed to not see the words “has died” immediately after

Sorry to disappoint. I would have preferred that article too, except we'll get endless praise from right-wing fucknuts when it happens. They'll deify the bastard.

Of course they will, but it will still make me a little happy once he stops outliving people that deserve death much less than he does

The secret to long life was the blood of the innocent all along.

That war criminal deserves way more than a confrontation.

How the hell is this man still alive

Dude is king of the ghouls, Behind the Bastards had a super in depth 5 or 6 part series about this monstrosity.

They will have to bury this fucker in an unmarked grave. The line of people who will piss on it is miles and miles and miles long.

You could have read this article years ago. Its not like it hasn't happened before.

It hasn't happened often enough.

To what end

If you don't understand journalists holding people to account for their misdeeds, I'm not sure how to explain it to you.

How many years that he's never been held accountable

By whom? Do you think journalists have the power to prosecute him for war crims?

No I do not. Neither does anyone else far as I can see. BTW, his war crimes were mostly against his own people.

Yes, the Laotians and Cambodians were definitely his own people. For sure. He's half Lao and half Camboian.

While he was pissing around, 20,000 US troops died. I believe you're thinking of Nixon who was Commander in Chief.

No I'm not.

The German-born political scientist joined the Nixon administration in 1969 as the president's national security advisor and was promoted to secretary of state in 1973. As the primary architect of the American bombing and invasion of Cambodia, Kissinger believed that these actions were necessary to prevent both Cambodia and South Vietnam from falling to communism.

Fucking sad how people don't know history that recent.

Lived it mate, and am well aware that his advice couldn't be followed without Nixon.

Sorry... you're saying he isn't a war criminal because he didn't make the final decision even though he planned the whole thing? Really?

Is Dick Cheney innocent despite being the architect of two wars that killed millions of people because George W. Bush had to say yes?

In many decades’ time, when the “is Kissinger even in this damn thing” cartoon meme has kept reemerging for each famous obituary, people will get increasingly suspicious.
