Henry Kissinger was the former National Security Advisor and secretary of the United States, known for his role in many historic events, such as opening connections with the PRC. He was widely famous for his war criminal, and he was declared dead at his home on Wednesday at age 100.
Why do people hate Henry Kissinger?
Henry Kissinger was the most hated political personality because he supported deadly conflicts on three continents. In his eight years in power, he unnecessarily dragged and prolonged the Vietnam war for five years, provided his support for Pakistan’s brutal war in Bangladesh, ordered the carpet bombing of Cambodia and Laos, showed his support for Argentina’s dirty war, started a genocide in East Timor, supported general Augusto Pinochet’s deadly coup and provoked civil wars on southern African countries.
The foreign policy follies estimated death, connected to Henry Kissinger, resulting in 3 million to 4 million. It has been reported that approximately 350,000 to 500000 Cambodians have been killed by American forces, primarily directly associated with Henry Kissinger.
In his role as the secretary of state, Henry Kissinger approved multiple thousands of bombing raids in the country. US secret bombing resulted in the collapse of the Cambodian government, which caused the strongman pol pot to fill their space; however, his short period ended with the genocide and starvation of over 1 million people.
Henry Kissinger also served as the private advisor of former President George W. Bush. Bush had given him earlier the role of 9/11 commission chairman. He was known as the confidant of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton admired him during the 2016 presidential campaign. Henry had been to the white house to meet Obama and gave his advice to him multiple times.
Secretary of Defense Ash Carter from the Defense Department 2016 awarded Henry Kessinger a public service award. Donald Trump also met with Kessinger numerous times. Henry Kessinger had been a part of foreign relations, the Atlantic counsel, and the Aspin Institute till his death. He also sat on the Board of Theranos from 2014 to 2016, the fraudulent Silicon Valley blood-testing corporation.
The prestigious historian Niall Ferguson wrote in his book that Kissinger is a misunderstood idealist rather than a long-time realist regarded by the public. In 2016, the New Yorker wrote “Does Henry Kessinger Have a Conscience,” which disclosed Kessinger’s shameful acts and heinous role in America. In addition to his support of war crimes in Cambodia and Vietnam, he was then widely publicized as a supporter of crime against humanity, kidnap, torture, and conspiracy for murders, which made him the most hateful person in politics.
