The man who negotiated the first SALT treaty with USSR in 1969, which somehow held until START II in 1993 which never really took effect, sadly. He opened up relations between USA and China in 1971. He led the peace process between Vietnam and the US (leading to his Nobel Peace Prize).
This article is absurd bullshit in how much guilt it lays on Kissinger. For instance, it alludes that the Cambodian genocide was due to Kissinger, while in reality, it was Pol Pot 100%. Even if there are circumstances that lead to committing genocide, country leaders are not unthinking animals with no free will. Pol Pot decided to do this, it’s on him, and it’s one of the many atrocities communist countries have done. You cannot just bullshit your way out of that, no matter how much you like communism.
Oh look… the “War Criminal Apologetics Society” has decided to show up.
Kissinger bombed hundreds of thousands of innocent Vietnamese, Cambodian and Laotian civilians, and they gave him a fucking peace prize because he finally stopped.
He is responsible for Pol Pot’s rise to power so he’s indirectly to blame for Pol Pot’s regime. You can’t bomb a country to hell and not be responsible for the aftermath.
Their neighbors are Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. First two had significant and successful communist uprisings and of course Vietnam War going on at the time. Also China directly supported Khmer Rouge, and USSR less directly. I think it’s silly to place so much guilt on Kissinger when all that was going on.
