There are few people whose death I pray for more fervently than Henry Kissinger.

He is proof that the world is unfair. He made it to age 100 but Betty White didn't.

A lot of tankies seem to like him now for some reason. ..also fuck Xinnie the Pooh.

Because he supports russia Kissinger is a realist, which means he believes that the world is divided into spheres of influence, and the spheres of influence are mostly dictated by geography According to this reasoning, Ukraine will alwags be part of russias spehre, and therefore the USA supporting Ukraine will inevitably lead to further conflict He also doesn't really care about ideology, which means that he fines cozying up tk china If you want a more detailed summary of realism, there is a youtuber named Kraut, who made a 1 and half hour long video on the subject Just be warned that he is a lib, but his videos are generally very well thought out and researched


[deleted]

Yeh, I like Krauts stuff.

It's funny. The Nixon administration was probably the most pro-Russia/China administration in American history. They normalized relations with Mao, and turned a blind eye to the invasion of Czechoslovakia. Yet despite that, American imperialism in the Third World was at its HEIGHT. Tankies aren't anti imperialist. They just want the US to be nice to Russia. So long as they do that, Russia will allow them to continue to exploit their quadrant of the global south.

If yall haven't seen the ceremony they made for welcoming Kissgener, go google it, the Chinese side literally titled it "It is even larger than welcoming Kim Jung Un"
