My only question is: Why? History is already not kind to Kissinger and he will be remembered as an architect of bloody wars. He's also not in any office of the US, so he's as legitimate as Dennis Rodman is for diplomatic negotiations.

It is a good question. I know that Bill Clinton did some goodwill diplomatic stuff under Obama.

Kissinger is really only known for being some sorta criminal mastermind. He never scored high on charisma.

He's 100 years old. What on earth is he doing? There's no way this meeting is going to be helpful.

If Russia or North Korea wanted to improve their world image, a well timed, "errant" surface to air missle could go a long way here.

He must be another new Lemmy user dusting off his old memes.

If the good die young Kissinger is going to outlive us all.
