I grew up in Cambodia, and I can tell you, many people know who Kissinger is, and what he did. He facilitated the Khmer Rouge coming to power, and they will never forget.
Here in Latin America we all known a lot about him. He is a kind of Adolf Hitler for us... But dont wory, we also already had a lot of mussolinis and francos inside our countries. And this tragedy is basicaly the cause of the latin america massive emigration in the last four decades.
In November 1975 Kissinger said to the Thai foreign minister about the Khmer Rouge regime "You should tell the Cambodians that we will be friends with them. They are murderous thugs but we won't let that stand in our way."
After Vietnam invaded Cambodia and overthrew the genocidaI Khmer Rouge in less than 3 weeks Kissinger advised the US government to apply sanctions to Vietnam and to encourage China to support the ousted Khmer Rouge rebel army. He also advised the US government to supply funding and arms to the Khmer Rouge rebels and to vote yearly until 1993 for the ousted Khmer Rouge to retain Cambodia's seat at the UN. Great guy indeed.
As you yoy should never forget...tell the truth...stay strong,,,stay true
Cummings ! Your haircut tho 😂
Make sure it is taught in the schools in Cambodia so the past will not repeat itself but with a different egomaniacal nut. In the US they are trying to erase slavery and the slaughter of Native Aboriginals from being taught in schools cause they feel it brings a bad light on their ancestors deeds. Its those who are continually committing crimes against other humans who are trying to cover up the past for their ill gotten gain's
Terrifying to think of the number of people killed or whose lives were ruined as the result of this man's policies and absolute disregard for human life.
Yes. I have heard some of the stories as a teacher here in Laos and Cambodia and they are horrifying.
Same with Ronald freaking Reagan.
Dont forget Both Bushes. Cheney Rumsfeld.
Many war criminals here in the United States and around the world, woodrow wilson, fdr, lbj, nixon, reagan, bushes, too many to list history has had too many warmongers.
Then ya have not studied white supremacy
During the 2016 Presidential Debates. Bernie Sanders. “I am proud to say Henry Kissinger is not my friend.” In response to Hillary Clinton referring to Kissinger as a friend and mentor.
Bernie has been on the right side of history so many times.
Bernie rocks. I have the utmost respect for him.
Based Bernie
@@rebeccahenderson7761 I've lost all respect for Bernie after he endorsed both Clinton and Brandon.
@@CoolGobyFish yeah, he quickly fell in-line even tho the people were clear he was our choice
Thank you for educating me on Kissinger's death and destruction rampage through those tumultuous times.
Yes he was an evil man . He probably did more than any other person to halt the expansion of communism.
At least they argued over "real world problems" back then....unlike nowadays 🙄
I worked in the same building as him back in the 90's on Park Avenue in New York and saw him often in passing. He was a nasty, mean spirited individual - he had a male assistant that he spoke to in an extremely belittling and demeaning manner all the time, I felt empathy & sympathy for that man, working for this horrible individual. I understood very little about his political activities, this has certainly enlightened me - all I did know was how he treated another human being on a personal level, which was horrible.
Thanks for saying that it shed a light on higher he was
So refreshing, and encouraging, that one mainstream media outlet has the balls to tell the truth.
Agreed
Another way to put that is that NBC gives Mehdi the freedom to say this.
100%. More of this.
Msnbc lost mainstream status. Low ratings.
@@CommaCam As they should
“Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.”
Same with Obama. That Peace Prize is meaningless.

Of course he's free. USA is egregiously notorious for not pursuing any accountability in regard to criminal politicians.
America has never supported human rights unless it could be used as some sort of propaganda.
Indeed. USA ignores the criminals while the USSR would simply do away with them once they were no longer of use.
I draw this comparison because both countries have/had an insufferable amount of pride and where strength had to always be projected at all times. USSR had it's downfall when the house of cards collapsed while the USA continues on all the while ignoring or covering up the corrupt.
White politicians.
@@Sombriage Where is the similarity when you correctly identify that the two differing systems had such widely differing reactions, and one outcome is in regard to regime dissent and the other in regard to the criminality of politicians gone bad.
Additionally pride, jingoism and nationalism can and do also exist in some of the most liberal of regimes.
I don't think "American exceptionalism" fully explains the reluctance or incapacity of the US for constructive self-awareness but yes, it does go some distance.
If the USA is "leading the way", it's in cognitive dissonance and an abject lack of accountability amongst policy makers.
I love that somehow Mehdi is able to get this onto mainstream media. Let’s hope the executives aren’t watching!
mehdi has become somewhat of a prat to get there though - his treatment of genuine thinkers and humanitarians like tulsi gabbard or Naomi Woolf is not nice. he is not perfect - even though I agree with most of his work.
@@kapple654 Tulsi Gabbard is a genuine thinker?
That why his show is canceled so sad
You jinxed him, sir👀🤣
This didn't do it but his interview with Israeli senior advisor Regev sure did. He got yanked right afterward, although no doubt it was already in the works.
The fact that he lived to celebrate his hundred birthday while being a monster his entire life It's a good indication of what a sociopathic monster he was. No one with the conscience could live that long and do the things he did.
And a good indicator of how corrupt and hypocritical America is.
Hi Mehdi, you are so right! Kissinger should have been charged with war crimes. Many US soldiers also died as a result of Kissinger.
people sign up for the service, their deaths while tragic probably saved countless other lives. The men who signed up may have been duped by Kissinger, but after you sign up for service, your life is theirs to do what they need to do with. No tears for the soldiers. NONE. They wouldn't be soldiers if we did.
The CIA complicit in almost all his crimes.
Have you counted the ones who died under the Biden administrations malfeasance in Afghanistan? Who was in charge of that deadly debacle giving billions of dollars in military equipment to the enemy? Trump no doubt!
Medhi, thanks for being one of the few of having the balls to keep telling the truth and hold the powerful accountable!
Life in pri... oh, yeah. Let me get back to you on that.

@@fantym1633 Hmm....maybe i´m in the wrong business🤔
Kissinger is without a doubt a war criminal.
He played a major part in the carpet-bombing of Cambodia and the invasion of East Timor. And also in Operation Condor where thousands of South Americans were slaughtered.
I am really surprised he's allowed to walk free. He's a monster. But he's protected by the "Elite" because in their eyes, he advanced THEIR interests.

He doesn't travel outside the U.S. since he could be arrested for war crimes, like Pinochet was held in England back when. A post-presidential George W. landed in Vancouver, Canada for a speech and almost got served by an activist. He left town and hasn't left his country since.

@@michaelrmurphy2734 you're corredt; and you could say that about many of them if you discount military service.

Thank you Mehdi for exposing the truth about this horrible man. I'm old enough to remember what an atrocious person he is. Clinton claiming him as a friend is yet another thing I can't forgive her for.
Some of this seems far fetched to apply criminal responsibility. He is immoral and corrupt but I don't think agreeing with what a dictator from another country has or will do automatically means you go to jail.
@@AB-zl4nh Not just agreeing but encouraging bye words and deeds
@@AB-zl4nh It is definitely the opposite of what the secretary of state is SUPPOSED to do. You're SUPPOSED to represent American ideals abroad. Although, since this was the Nixon administration and Ford administration, that's not far off from what America was like at that time (and still is today in some ways). However, if you go with the more basic ideals of freedom and democracy, he certainly wasn't helping on that front.

This report is gold journalism. Thank you.
Also GOOD journalism.
I remember Kissinger barely as a child. I never assumed he was so terrible. I knew him to be an advisor to Nixon. I always assumed he was disgraced after Nixon was gone. I guess not. Those like myself who always assumed we were the “good guys” are now wondering why the media in those days were so devious.
If you remember Kissinger as a child, you must be over 100 years old! I'm joking of course, and I agree, growing up I remember Kissinger presented in media, on TV as some sort of a political celebrity/personality. I have learned quite a bit about this guy since then. I guess he was pretty good at whitewashing his past.
@@jhegre they were whitewashing this guy back then also ! Thank goodness my parents showed me why he was a monster,his policies led to slaughter of untold numbers of civilians in more than 3 countries !! while the main street press hailed him as a great negotiator,and other accolades. BS !
Nixon was a crook, V.P. Spiro Agnew was a crook and Secretary of State was beyond a crook. The entire administration were crooks.
The Grim Reaper took him while I was at Catholic Church class tonight.
Where is Mehdi Hasan ?
This is excellent reporting. Thank you for being direct and truthful about this man's history and crimes. It's a shame that the US or any other country has not indicted this monster. He should have been jailed decades ago and never set free. It's also a shame that the Norwegian government awarded him the Nobel peace price. They have also for ever spilled blood on this award by not taking it back.
Excellent yet again. I can't forget the horrific stories i heard as a child of those places and times.
Thanks, Mehdi.
Huh ...were are you from did you miss the cover up part
I am old enough to r
Remember him. Well.
The hypocrisy when it comes to the US on these things…there are many more like him in the US too
Team Bush
Hypocrisy is woven into the fabric of the US. The nation that prides itself in its democracy and holds itself as the vanguard of world democracy has overthrown more democratically elected governments than it has dictators and is itself in the second tier level (failing democracy) on the international democracy index
@@kevinjenner9502 George himself said it best: “wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq”
🇺🇸 is now sending F-16s to Ukraine against Russia. This 🗑 country is escalating the world to WW3...rather then ending this war peacefully and diplomatically.
Kissinger said once we get everyone to take a mandated vaccine, we have won, its game over
Mehdi - love your expose's and this one doesn't disappoint. I was on the conscription list with number 161 (in high school) while Kissinger was ramping up the war. In one respect, I was happy for the end of the war because I didn't have to go. However, I never trusted Nixon nor Kissinger. They were conducting murky stuff in this unnecessary war. Most of it was not visible to the American people. General Westmoreland lied to LBJ and Nixon and Kissinger supported that. I have deep respect for all Vietnam vets and thank them for their service and feel bad as an American that they were sacrificed by the likes of Kissinger and Nixon. Totally sad.
Nixon/Kissinger CIA Coup in Chile, removing their democratically elected leader Salvador Allende, and paving the way for Augusto Pinochet. 9/11/73
What year was that? Late 1960s or 1970. As Mehdi said, Henry gets to 100. How many didn't because of him?
@Needmy WokebearTroll better🙄 OP literally explains the war ended before his number came up. I’m grateful one less American died or came back broken by the conflicts in South East Asia that killed 100s of 1000s of civilians, at the behest of powerful men like Kissinger. Did you enlist to fight in Vietnam, yourself? Nah. Your battles are fought at keyboard in your mom’s basement. Lucky you.
I’m glad you didn’t have to go. My dad took us to see the Vietnam Wall on a family trip to DC. His cousin’s name was on it. Fortunately for us, my dad was allowed to serve stateside, because he & my mom had a baby on the way (me). Maybe if more people saw that wall & the people looking for their loved ones’ names, they’d be less eager to send someone’s kid off to war. I know I’ll never forget it😔
I learned all this from Ken Burns' documentary "Vietnam ". It was SO informative. And infuriating 😢
We didn't know SO MUCH. WHAT A SHAM! A WASTE! And Kissinger "regrets nothing "? What a MONSTER!
Very well said Mehdi!!!
Great topic, like always ! Thanks for being a voice for the voiceless and the unheard. You're a beacon of hope in this world, Mehdi. Just one more thing : at 3:18, the coup in Argentina was led against Isabel Peron, not Eva "Evita" Peron, who died in 1952.
It always annoys and frustrates me when certain independent media outlets compare MSNBC with Fox, and suggest there is literally no difference between the two. This is a prime example of why they're wrong.
This is the kind of truth people watching Fox are told they are getting - by the lying people at Fox.
They are the same. They even have the same owners. ie Black rock and Vanguard. One persuades liberals the other persuades democrats. Both stretching truths and omitting vital information . Try cross referencing msnbc and you'll see what I mean providing an open mind is kept. Propaganda has been around a long time because it works. If Kissinger was a democrat this would not have aired
...and of why "certain independent media outlets" are not as independent as they claim to be.
@@dayegilharno4988 ^^^^^ I wouldn't be surprised if a great deal of those "initially" Left-Wing independent channels are now being funded by anti-Democratic interests (Dore, Breaking Points, The Hill etc.), I hear some crazy stuff out of them sometimes
Wait until the US has found another country it needs to invade.
If Kissinger is still alive it's because neither God nor the Devil want him.
I’m stealing that
Heaven doesn't want him and hell's too full.
He is not even welcome in purgatory 😂👹🥴😱🤯
False. Jesus loves Him. It is the reason God has not taken his life yet. In mercy, God is Ivan him multiple chances and longevity to repent. The Lord takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. His desire is that all would come to repentance. Jesus is the way the life and the truth.
Ha ha ha...so true. I will use that somewhere.
Kissinger is by far the worst war criminal in American history. He’s known for being extremely callous, has no regrets for his hostile actions, and expresses no sign of empathy.
Could you maybe calculate the number of deaths that might have occurred had he not had a hand in thwarting communism? I’ll give you a clue . Over 100 million died in China and Russia.
Bring him to trial before it is too late

This HAD to be said. Thank you, Mehdi and MSNBC.
Medhi, excellent reporting. There’s an old saying that “the good die young but the most evil live forever.” Not always true, but in this case…..
One time a few years after 9-11, my parents were at National Airport and Henry Kissinger was ahead of them in the security line and he was randomly selected for the more intense screening, and the security people had no idea who he was as they were patting him down vigorously. Unfortunately that's as close to being treated like a criminal as I think he's ever been.
He probably thought they knew who he was and had taken him out of the queue in order to give him a pat on the back for his work over the years.😉
He was going to run the 9/11 Commission, but that would have been too much like Dulles and the Warren Commission. Kind of like the FBI investigating themselves
haha - hopefully Saint Peter will behave in the same way (guarding the pearly gates and all that)
It’s probably one of his many kinks. He made it so his 🪪 triggers a rigorous response.
I'm with you on this Medhi.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Mr. Hasan for reminding us of Kissinger's brutal policies. Why we sweep these sins under a carpet of revisionist decorum is beyond me. The record of this celebrated architect of mass murder must not be forgotten for what it is. Excellent coverage!
Hillary Clinton’s self admitted mentor.
Thank you for putting this in the forefront once again.
Goodness, this is awesome journalism and thank you for the history lesson
It would be nice if the rest of the so called journalists were like this.
Remarkable! Does the arc of history really bend towards justice? Not always, apparently.
No .
The moral arc of the universe is for every generation to bend. As long as you have weak democrats and MAGA Republicans you will have evil.
Well, the first thing that has to happen is the dissemination of the information, which is happening. The arc is long, as they say.
@Needmy Wokebear Maybe someday you'll have "justice" in russia.
It does if your country isn't preventing it. I find it strange how we can trial other countries people for war crimes but they can't ours. That's messed up.
Mehdi might just be the best journalist on tv
After seeing this report, I'd definitely vote for him.
He is, in my opinion.
Kissinger is but one example of why I cannot participate with sheep in the glorification ritual known as the playing of the national anthem at various ceremonies.
Since not many read historical books these days and that TV is the source of so much info, thank you for this important lesson on history!
Christopher Hitchens would be proud of you.
Hitchens was a steadfast supporter of the invasion of Iraq.
hmmm I love the Hitch dearly being a Brit too, but unfortunately he was wrong about a few things - he supported an Iraq invasion for the entirety of his career... ironically it was his conservative, stiff lipped, repressed brother Peter that did not)
@@kapple654 counterintuitively, not ironically.
@@drmodestoesq counterintuitively: contrary to intuition or common sense expectation.... its not contrary to my intuition (maybe its the later - ie. 'common sense expectation' - because traditionally the GOP was the expansionist party but not any longer)... especially as Obama invaded and bombed as many countries as George Bush did - I have never liked either side. splitters of the democrats like jimmy dore and tulsi gabbard were ten years behind me.
@@kapple654 I disagree with the expansionist label. When America tried to annex Canada....I would call that expansionist. When America stole half of Mexico....I would call that expansionist.
But a failed attempt to engage in nation building in Iraq I wouldn't say fits in with the standard imperialistic expansionist model. It's not like America is going to make the 51 state.
I would label the post WW2 policies of the United States as interventionist.
What an excellent lesson in history, Mehdi. Thank you. It is abhorrent that Kisssnger has gotten away with deaths that almost number Stalin's. Alas, we forget; it is important to be reminded..
They were not deaths Only statistics
Christopher Hitchens' wife once said that 'it would be a drag for Henry Kissinger to live to 100 and for Christopher to keel over next year.' Today is an important one to remember that despite the carelessness of nature and death, the principles Hitchens stood for will not die and the reasons he detested Kissinger will not be forgotten.
Hitchens said that Kissinger and Nixon conspired together before the election , to prolong the war , but they only met for the first time after the election. Guess he blew that one .
Not to mention Operation Menu that was declassified in 2000 and highlighted LBJ’s bombing of Cambodia for 3 years.
Hitchens supported the Iraq War and famously gave up during a waterboarding run.
@@FordGord-ni3bs I know he did, but there's a difference between supporting a war for reasons that seemed justified at the time (opposing islamic theocracy in the form of Hussein's dictatorship) and authorising the killing of countless Vietnamese citizens for no apparent reason as Kissinger did.

As a young physician, I was recruited into his DOS to become the Acting Medical Director of a US drug rehab in Bangkok. After my physical exam in the Pentagon, I found myself standing behind the half wall several stories above Kissinger on the floor below. As the spittle welled-up in my war resister mouth, I had to make a decision that could define the rest of my life, to spit or not to spit. Now, I regret swallowing the spittle and going to Bangkok, although, there I continued resisting that horrific and misguided war and was thrown out of Thailand within 6 weeks.

Thank you - I am so moved by your experience - you are a physician of the body, the mind and the soul.
You think slave owners and apologists had any more morality than Kissinger then you're delusional. 😂
You mean the rebels who supported slavery. The 100 year old man was evil but he didn't start the fire, the cold War and arms race, along with war for profit did
@@squarebear619 You think slave owners did their own fighting? No they suckered others into fighting for them. The exact same as the framers. All based on lies like the war was against a tyrannical king when in fact the monarch had signed away all right to rule or collect taxes in the first decade of the 18th century. Or the civil war was fought between northern states and southern states which is still taught in schools today which was not the case, it was fought between two nations, the CSA and USA both of which had slave states all through the war. So much for the war being about ending slavery. There is no more gullible population than that of the USA.
@Jim Davison hence why I used apologists. You typed that bs for nothing just to use the excuses you people love to do historically to avoid the truth of your ancestors. Plenty of them worked as overseers, readily participated in antiblackness, genocide of Natives, and wholeheartedly believed in whīte supremacy. The absolute irony of fighting in the name of Freedom yet built the entire country off enslavement and genocide. Deal with it.🥴
Nice segment! Kissinger, in my mind, is a shining example of the downside of American exceptionalism in that he has escaped significant pushback with no real accountability - just like America & its troubled history in general. His performance, followed by Rumsfeld/Bush/Cheney, also lends itself in comparison to the general performance of this country's police force - they engage in brutality because they know they can get away with it.
FINALLY!
Well done Mr Kissinger! As a Bangladeshi, I would never forgive you and millions of my countrymen share the same view.
What a disgrace to human decency!!!
Thank you for bringing attention to this on national tv/media!
This guy is in part responsible for so much unnecessary misery, suffering, and death. The fact that he isn't vilified shows what kind of society we are.
He is indeed vilified. Maybe you should look the word up in dictionary, then look up goose.
Thank you Mehdi...
This guy was present and participated in all the meetings with Nixon and the plumbers. How pathetic is our country …
Where were MSNBC 20 years ago when this denouncement could have had any effect, oh well great job guys, great reporting
They say that worry, having empathy or compassion for others can be extremely stressful which we know, can shorten one’s life.
If you have zero remorse, regrets or conscience, I guess you can live a very long life.
MSNBC is my favourite channel, Mehdi Hasan is at the top of the reporters I admire.
Hes like John Oliver, without the jokes
Thanks for being gutsy enough to call it like it is. I've never understood how he got away with everything he's done.
He is 100, he's gotten away with it. Jail or execution is pointless at his age. Maybe strip the peace prize if possible? I just hope he sees these reports and sees the world seeing the truth. Too many bad people have gotten old and died with a good reputation
Thank you for great reporting
This aged so well.
Until watching John Pilger's documentary "Year Zero", I never had even the slightest clue what Kissinger had done up until that point, or how Rumsfeld had also played such a pivotal role in the deaths of so many people vis-a-vis "foreign policy". I'm glad this man had the courage and the advocacy to present this piece.
In November 1975 Kissinger said to the Thai foreign minister about the Khmer Rouge regime "You should tell the Cambodians that we will be friends with them. They are murderous thugs but we won't let that stand in our way."
After Vietnam invaded Cambodia and overthrew the genocidaI Khmer Rouge in less than 3 weeks Kissinger advised the US government to apply sanctions to Vietnam and to encourage China to support the ousted Khmer Rouge rebel army. He also advised the US government to supply funding and arms to the Khmer Rouge rebels and to vote yearly until 1993 for the ousted Khmer Rouge to retain Cambodia's seat at the UN. Great guy indeed.
Like they say "Only the good die young".

It's like shorthand for acknowledging how much it sucks that the wicked prosper while innocents suffer, & their prosperity is built on the backs of those who suffer.

RIP BOZO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like they say in my neighborhood, ' Don't hate the player, hate the game.'
I started calling him a criminal more than 50 years ago. It’s always been an enigma as to the many who have not called him out and who have instead done the opposite.
It is not Henry Kissinger who was the devil. It was the United States' Government that accepted the policy proposals of Kissinger that was the murderer. The Amirican people who allowed their government to carry out murderous foreign policies. Leave Kissinger celebrate his 100 in peace.
His statements on the NWO should be telling, but nooo, that's all just "conspiracy theories." We have to wait for the presstitutes to tell us the "truth", or "fact" check.
A good friend worked at The Bohemian Grove for more than 10 years in the 90's and aughts. One afternoon, while preparing the lunch buffet, he heard the distinctive voice right behind him saying "Well young man what is on the menu today?" When he turned around there was HK standing extremely close wearing only flip-flops and a red speedo. My friend said "My eyes burned for 3 days".
Christ! Mine are burning just reading about it.😳
Tina turner passed away yesterday and Henry is still alive.
Evil take forever to die, I’m surprised Rush Limbaugh is gone!
Yeah, the most beautiful of humanity always leave us young ...
Yea, he makes himself live so he can continue to bring death
@@erincaitlin1655 Ms Turner lived to 83.
Than you, Mehdi!!! The horror is to painful to be prolong by silence or omission
Bravo, Mehdi and team, keep up the top level research and reporting.
And young people at the age of 20 and 30 years suffer from physical or psychological problems, and politicians at the age of 80, 90, and 100, and their health is very good.
Yeah, Biden voted for the Iraq war and he's in relatively good health (I mean, for an 80 year old with dementia)
Evil never dies
ya thats proof there no such thing as karma.é...stalin killed millions played god in a way and died of naturalk causes
@Needmy Wokebear Qool story Qomrade.
That's because their healthcare is paid for by the American taxpayers. We have to pay for our own.
Thank you Mehdi. Most Americans do not have a clue on many of the actions done in their name! His day of reckoning will come sooner than later. As we all know, the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice!
And to thing that this global criminal won a Nobel Peace Prize.
Excellent reporting/broadcast Mehdi. The business of 'Broadcast News' needs more journalists like you.
There was always something about Kissinger I didn't like, but I couldn't quite pinpoint it. I was young and stupid then. Now I know what it was. Thank you.
It's never too late to charge him with war crimes. It's too late when he's dead.
I can't believe he is still alive. He was old to me when he was working with Richard Nixon on Vietnam War, China, Soviet Union in the late 1960's and 1970's. I think he continued on with Gerald Ford too. Unbelievable.
must be adrenochrome. also, look at Fauci. he looks way too young for 85. these people are satanic.
Replace "working" with "mass-murdering" and your description would be more accurate.
And replace "still alive" with "undead".
Thank you so much for saying the truth outloud on mainstream media Mehdi. You are legend for this. ❤
So, what makes him NOT a sociopath?
The fact that he got the Nobel "Peace" prize instead of being tried for war crimes and other criminal culpabilities - that says enough - if it needed to be said again - about the nostril-assailing stench of politics.
Thank you, Mehdi Hasan, for giving voice to what most of the mainstream media prefers to wrap in a mantle of silence.
I have to question the group that awards the Nobel Peace Prize to such a man. How does that work behind closed doors?
Obama got a Nobel prize and he invaded and decimated as many countries as George Bush did in his tenure. it means nothing.
Fantastic reporting thank you
Why don’t Americans don’t understand and acknowledge their wrong doing against innocent civilians
If I remember correctly protecting Kissinger is why the US has never become a member of The World Court.
Whats the world court
That's the one where the US want to see Putin. It's (almost) hilarious.
Kissinger owes it all to his "magic murder bag"
I understood that reference.
