The German-born political scientist joined the Nixon administration in 1969 as the president’s national security advisor and was promoted to secretary of state in 1973. As the primary architect of the American bombing and invasion of Cambodia, Kissinger believed that these actions were necessary to prevent both Cambodia and South Vietnam from falling to communism.
No, I’m saying he isn’t the war criminal you think he is. Just as Dick Cheney, who can be accused of many things, didn’t make the decision to invade Iraq. Bush did.
By whom? Do you think journalists have the power to prosecute him for war crims?
No I do not. Neither does anyone else far as I can see. BTW, his war crimes were mostly against his own people.
Yes, the Laotians and Cambodians were definitely his own people. For sure. He’s half Lao and half Camboian.
While he was pissing around, 20,000 US troops died. I believe you’re thinking of Nixon who was Commander in Chief.
No I’m not.

Fucking sad how people don’t know history that recent.
Lived it mate, and am well aware that his advice couldn’t be followed without Nixon.
Sorry… you’re saying he isn’t a war criminal because he didn’t make the final decision even though he planned the whole thing? Really?
Is Dick Cheney innocent despite being the architect of two wars that killed millions of people because George W. Bush had to say yes?
No, I’m saying he isn’t the war criminal you think he is. Just as Dick Cheney, who can be accused of many things, didn’t make the decision to invade Iraq. Bush did.
Are you really saying Dick Cheney isn’t a war criminal? This is insane.
