Good day to remind everyone of the guy who will be feted, mourned, and deified nationally and internationally as a "Grand strategist", "Mr. Realpolitik", 'Statesman", "Great Man of History" etc., etc.,

Everyone knows about the Vietnam war, and what happened in "Indo-China", much less so around the same time what happened in South Asia from 1970-71. Remains one of the toughest books I have ever read.

“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands.” — Anthony Bourdain

Kissinger finally died.

I don’t usually celebrate people’s deaths, but… he was one of the great monsters of the 20th century.

It’s unbecoming to celebrate ’s death…

Henry is dead at the age of 100.

Here's one Cambodian's verdict
"I’m a scholar of the political economy of Cambodia who, as a child, escaped the brutal Khmer Rouge regime with four siblings...
In both a professional and personal sense, I am aware of the near 50-year impact Kissinger’s policies during the Vietnam War have had on the country of my birth."

That impact was destruction, death and trauma.

Henry turned 100 today, so it's a good time to remind people of Anthony Bourdain's quote about him. And all other amazing quotes by Bourdain.

> Witness what Henry did in Cambodia — the fruits of his genius for statesmanship — and you will never understand why he's not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milosevic.

Never speak ill of the dead, only good.

For example "Henry Kissinger is dead, good"

Henry Kissinger, War Criminal Beloved by America’s Ruling Class, Finally Dies (www.rollingstone.com)

Henry Kissinger has died at age 100, his consulting firm said in a statement on Wednesday... The Yale University historian Greg Grandin, author of the biography Kissinger’s Shadow, estimates that Kissinger’s actions from 1969 through 1976, a period of eight brief years when Kissinger made Richard Nixon’s and then Gerald...

Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.

"The image of death at the claw machine (shown below) was illustrated by Nacho Diaz and was first posted to his now-defunct website, Naolito Art. The earliest extant appearance of the piece online was in a gallery of Diaz' work posted by the blog Twisted Sifter on September 18th, 2011.

The earliest-known instance of the image being used as an image macro following a celebrity death was posted by Imgur user BruisedBananas on January 13th, 2017, in relation to the passing of George Michael.

Over the following years, the image was used to comment on celebrity deaths, particularly more surprising ones, with Death depicted as disappointed he "got" a certain celebrity instead of the one he was hoping for.
In 2018, around the time of John McCain's August 25th death, Imgflip user Some_Internet_Man depicted Death as disappointed he'd received McCain instead of Jake Paul, gaining over 14,000 views in five years.

A particularly popular variation features the punchline, "Is Henry Kissinger even in this thing?", referring to the former United States Secretary of State [...].
Popular examples include a June 8th, 2023 post by Twitter user Gritty20202 after the death of Pat Robertson, gaining over 70 retweets and 500 likes in two and a half months."

Anthony Bourdain on Henry Kissinger:

“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking.

Mass murderer and War Criminal Henry Kissinger is finally dead!

He won the Nobel Peace Prize, along with Lê Đức Thọ, for their work in orchestrating a ceasefire in the Vietnam War. Two Nobel Prize committee members resigned in protest. During his diplomatic career, Kissinger was involved in orchestrating and/or supporting the Chilean coup and Pinochet dictatorship (over 3,000 killed); the Argentine Dictatorship (up to 30,000 killed); the Pakistani genocide in Bangladesh (3 million killed); and the Genocide in East Timor (up to 300,000 killed).

Dear Washington Post:
Could you at LEAST switch the order of these articles and put his war crimes ahead of his dating life?

A tortured and deadly legacy: Henry Kissinger and realpolitik in U.S. foreign policy.

@TheConversationUS reports: "When Kissinger entered government as Richard Nixon’s national security adviser, he espoused a narrow perspective of the national interest ... primarily centered on maximizing the economic and military power of the United States."
