- Many viewers of last night's PBS Newshour Democratic Debate might be confused by the strange focus on former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Kissinger served under President's Nixon and Ford at the closing of the Vietnam War, and many people consider him to be a war criminal. John Iadarola, host of ThinkTank, delivers his Final Judgment on Henry Kissinger.
Henry Kissinger needs to be tried in an international war tribunal.
I agree with your assessment

+CollegeTalkTV, No American administration is going to hand over members of a former American administration. That will put their own necks on the block. If anyone would, it would be Bernie. But even he wouldn't.
Yeah but that would open up many American political figures to war crime trials. The bush administration (cause torture and gitmo is 100 against signed and ratified UN bill of human rights. CIA for funding pretty much every enemy of the US (The Taliban, Sadam, ISIS, who every your next enemy is). US soldiers for murderint civilians, journalists, gang raping women and threatening their husbands.
This alone should disqualify Clinton from the presidency, period.
Don't forget she is a criminal
+Electrons Dimension old Which crime? I hear people say that often, but NEVER any details!
+Hobbes Tiger How so? You think all the rest of them are lily clean? LOL.
+Despicably Irascible Rapscallion E-Mails is a breach of national security, for one.
+Hobbes Tiger Agreed. If Trump said he was a personal friend of Slobodan Milosovic or Yassar Arafat and got investment advice from them what do you think the press would say
crazy how people like kissinger, cheney, and rumsfeld will never face a day in jail when people are getting locked up for smoking a joint

"Is Henry Kissinger A War Criminal?"
"Yes, he is."
Which US-President oder president helper is no war criminal?
and he still drinks beer 🍺 !

@@z.b.8168 Trump would be pretty close
Christopher Hitchens (The Hitch) was on point about Kissinger.
+ImmaterialDigression Same with Hillary.
+neurathsboat That is mostly a critique of the books content not explaining enough. I meant his general opinion of Kissinger being a complete bastard.
+neurathsboat This is not insignificant since apparently no action was taken. Why you think pointing out the crimes is problematic idk. The fact he pointed the crimes out is the ONLY thing I'm saying. Obviously I'm not by saying I agree with his condemnation of Kissinger that suddenly I agree with all his positions on everything. That should be obvious.
+ImmaterialDigression May be you should try Greg Grandin's book "Kissinger's Shadow". It's really a much better book than Hitchens'. Grandin is a historian and his book not only deals with Kissinger as Secretary of State, but also discusses contemporary US foreign policy as part of his legacy.
+neurathsboat Nice try, but it failed. The author of the article you cited actually is AGAINST Kissinger as well. He just thinks he did a better job than Christopher Hitchens on exposing Kissinger-s flaws.
Trying to feign the intelligence of an intellectual much?
How did Clinton think mentioning praise from Kissinger would be beneficial for her??
She talks about her big donor to she not really smart
+TriniTyrion Like Kissinger said, intelligence isn't necessary for the powerful.
+TriniTyrion she is part of the beltway...she is part of the cabal that has been ruling for the benefit of the 1% ...

No one learned more from Hermann Göring than Henry Kissinger:
_Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY._
Hermann Göring during his pre-trial interrogation for the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials, 1945-6.
+LTrotsky 21st Century I love that quote
Wow. Accurate as hell.
+Nick Polish Trotsky wasn't that bad
Yeah, paradoxically, Goring was really smart and self-aware. I mean, that is kind of strange and even more dangerous combination with his personality, when he was psychopatic eccentric brute.
Sounds like indentity politics ...tell them they are being attacked (the minority), and denounce the peacemakers (everyone who is not of the radical left), eventually you'll have your war.
Yeah, he's a war criminal...are y'all just realizing that???
What makes you think they are just realizing that?
+kingcreo08 you do !

+DeathDOer01 People have done a good job at portraying him as some great diplomat and a reasonable pragmatist.

"Is Henry Kissinger a war criminal?"
Yes.
He's a Z ionist who cares little for American's who are only 🐮 beast's of burden ..in there eye's
@@JustMe-sn9vv Kissinger's being a Zionist hardly makes him stand out from the average Republican, does it? Can you name a post-WW2 Republican who held a Cabinet rank or higher who was not a Zionist?
Anyway, Kissinger's worst crimes against humanity occurred on different CONTINENTS from where Israel is located.
Actually, I can only think of one reason you would bring up Kissinger's being a Zionist. But of course you would make a sputtering, indignant denial of that charge, so I will save you the trouble of the wasted spittle and indignation.
@@johnburt7935 Who said .".American military men are just dumb stupid Animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy " ...? Answer. Your hero 👄inger. Verbatim. !!!
He's a classic Machiavellian
+Bobalob
someone who'd gradually introduce a fascist regime into US while honestly believing it will help defend the democracy
Seems that G.W. Bush listened very often to Kissinger, too ^^
+Ka_Pe_De It wasn't Bush, it was people like Rumsfeld. Bush was a useful idiot for the neo-cons. They learned how to control him the same way they control hoi polloi -- religion played a very important part. Rumsfeld would link things to Bible verses for Dumya. Dumya went to France trying to get assistance with his murderous plot and baffled Chirac with some crazed nonsense about Iraq and Afghanistan being Gog and Magog.
No Machiavelli had universal principles, Kissinger is a disciple of Halfred Mackinder who was far worse.
"The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer"
Just another fun quote from Henry Kissinger
Maybe I should make a remix about him...
+Donald Jackass Trump your remixes could need some improving but youre not doing that bad so far

Well, sometimes they shit on my lawn.
I was literally going to ask the same exact question when I first saw this video listed.

Has Donald Tramp come out to defend Kissinger yet and say he is "tremendous" and "strong"?
"HUGE"
+billy pepper tbh, I think Trump would do another one of his weird twists like when he attacked G.W. Bush and defended Planned Parenthood.
No I think Trump hate Kissinger like Sanders does
WOW ! This is soo much more than news. It's also very important information/facts.
Thank you TYT !
Very well said.
Watching from Chile (that's not how you pronounce it, John) and yeah, Kissinger masterminded and precipitated the economic crisis and subsequent coup in my country, causing the death of thousands of men, women and children. Anyone who would be glad to have his support deserves no support in turn.
+radiokambodia As an American Im sorry that happened to your country.
+b0ilerboy They pulled that shit in most of south America, Chile and Argentina suffered the worst.
Wow, what a monster.
Henry Kissinger is not my friend.
yes 100 % he should be behind bars for his rest life.
Ladies and gentlemen, Nobel Peace Prize winner Henry Kissinger.
Best Final Judgement I've seen in a while. I am always amazed at the fact Kissenger remains a free man after his effect on S.E Asia and S. America. I am currently working in Laos and the insane number of UXO (unexploded ordinance) remains a threat for the rural Lao, Hmong and Khmu populations. Some people have no comprehension of the effects their countries have had on the world around them. Coming from the UK, I am very aware of the cruelties we created in recent history.
this video was so well done, one of the best tyt videos in a while imo
this man made it possible to orchestrate the 5th largest genocide in Bangladesh, killing 1 000 000 - 3 000 000 in 1971.
Never be surprised at what one human can do to another.
Wow! An unbiased factual report.
+Reverend Fry Luke will be jealous.
That is some truly despicable evil!
When sprinkles does a Final Judgement they should call it something like "Lil' Johnny's Got a Big Opinion"
hurrr you so funni. u shud have a utube chanel.
This shows how repugnant Kissinger is, but not how much of a war criminal he is. Mercifully, Christopher Hitchens made an end of Kissinger's vaunted reputation before he left the earth.
McCain is another huge Kissinger fan and defender.
Warmongers just LOVE the guy.
Thank you for getting this story out for young voters. More reason for them to vote Sanders over Clinton, if they didn't know the story.
Holy shit, he sounds like an evil villain.
yes
Christpoher Hitchens called him a war criminal rightfully. If he isn't brought to some sort of trial before his imminent death, then US falls further down the morality mantle..
His skin is kinda yellow and he looks kinda like a Simpsons character XD
Howard Zinn said don't buy Kissinger's book! After reading Zinn's book Cant be Neutral on a Moving Train, I would have to agree with Zinn
I was really skeptical of the new world order conspiracy bullshit but after reading kissinger's quotes and watching the talk he gave at Google last year scared the crap outta me. He even has a book about a borderless stateless global government.
+DutchEastIndianApplePie You profile picture caused me to crack my screen, I'll see you in court.
Oh there is. Doesn't matter if you're conservative or liberal. It's pretty hard to deny some kind of global power new world order conspiracy. Just look at our dollar bill
+Sandford2790 Its actual pretty easy to deny it. IDK what the dollar bill has to do with anything. If you are talking about the E Pluribus Unum quote, that is still a stretch to say it is a global conspiracy. Although I will grant that multinational corporations and banks are creating/have created an international crony capitalist system that is stacked against the common people the world over and even is beginning to override national sovereignty all for the benefit of a few. You don't need a formal conspiracy when like interests converge. There is no dark room with a council of villains plotting to create a new world order but there are powerful interests that are slowly taking over the world for their own financial benefit.
+DutchEastIndianApplePie
I really hate to be this guy but...
Eventually a global government maybe need for the survival of our species.
Though we like our independence on a national level and from each other,
but we can't just senselessly fight over resources forever until we all kill each other.
We have a generation left of most metals, maybe 2 for much of our most vital resources.
I'm not endorsing Kissinger, but I am siting that the statement about a global government isn't without merit.
+DutchEastIndianApplePie It's not a new world order it's just an american empire wich it already exists.
Kissinger is also famously quoted as saying "If you control oil, you control countries. If you control food, you control people."
5:41 The irony is that he's a Jew himself.
Henry Kissinger 1974 about the greeks
"The Greek people are anarchic and difficult to tame. For this reason
we must strike deep into their cultural roots: Perhaps then we can
force them to conform. I mean, of course, to strike at their language,
their religion, their cultural and historical reserves, so that we can
neutralize their ability to develop, to distinguish themselves, or to
prevail. Thereby removing them as an obstacle to our strategically
vital plans in the Balkans, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East, to
all this neuralgic territory of great strategic importance for us, for
the politics of the USA."
Henry Kissinger,the time of the turkish invasion in Cyprus, while
addressing a group of Washington, D.C. businessmen in Sept.1974,
republished from Turkish Daily News in 1997.
I don't like Kissinger, but look up the context of the quotes and who reported them. The "intelligence"-quote is an answer to the the question "How do you explain the fact that you have become almost more famous and popular than a president?". The "Military men are stupid"-quote seems to be from one book, whose authors disliked Kissinger and got the quote from Kissinger's political opponent, who was told by "someone" that Kissinger said this.
A classic example of psychopathic behavior. I am ashamed that my country allowed this maniac such a powerful office.
h o a x... not even sure there was a Vietnam war.
Huh ?
Thank you.
I don't believe your a real person. ....I think the CIA made you up so we would declare war on uneducated imbeciles.
Duron Wise
Prove it. Prove the earth is a ball.
Idolatry Slave it's actually a sphere 😆
Brian Mason Prove it. I can prove it's flat.
learning about this guy literally made me feel kinda sick in my stomach
when he said intelligence was he talking about information on the enemy or people and you are purposely conflating two different things he said at different times? and saying that he supported 9/11 because of some random quote made before it happened is a weak argument as well. The rest of the stuff that you didn't provide your own context to stands up.
Juan Osorno JET FUEL CAN'T MELT STEEL BEAMS, THOSE PEOPLE JUMPING FROM TOWERS WERE ACTORS.
Korean Roof Sniper When and where did I say Kissinger did 9/11?
+Juan Osorno don't feed the troll lol
Juan Osorno "Of course he supported 9/11 actually he knew it was going to happen"
Your first sentence to me you said he knew 9/11 was going to happen and that he supported it, you stated that he was an accessory to 9/11.
Korean Roof Sniper That doesn't mean he did it. Many people knew it was going to happen doesn't mean they had anything to do with it.
He looks like an even sadder version of Ben Stein.
Christopher Hitchens wrote and talked about this years before it ever occurred to TYT.
and why Henry Kissinger is not in jail yet??! WTF?!
I love these "US politics for dummies/foreigners/noobs section of yours! It's incredibly helpful to a dumb dumb like me and really helps to get a better grasp of current events.
We've just learnt what 1 person from United states did to the world, imagine what the politicians of US have done to the world in the last decades.
Kissinger played a huge part of the military industrial complex. And so would Hillary Clinton.
Now I get the joke about him in the Venture Bros.
What season was that? I slightly remember seeing him on the show.
Does a bear shit in the woods? ??? The Kissinger question was definitively settled in Christopher Hitchens book "The trail of Henry Kissinger" where he argues that Kissinger can and should be brought to trial for war crimes.
For better or worse, America wouldn't be as powerful as it is today without Kissinger.
Short answer: Yes
Long answer: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
When Presented a SHARED NOBEL PEACE PRIZE, his N. Vietnamese counterpart REJECTED IT as making mockery of PEACE.
great vid . John.
A disgusting excuse for a human being. How does he still have so much influence in American politics? He should be in jail!
At least one thing he said was correct. Killing a entire sect of a population to death by gas, SHOULDN'T be the concern of one nation (a American concern), but the concern of all nations.
He is much much more than a criminal.
Yep, and you can add Robert McNamara.
thanks for the info.
War criminal indeed...
Well done.
"promulgated" means created by the US government, not "imagined"
Is Henry Kissinger A War Criminal? Does Howdy Doody have wooden balls?
I literally gasped when I heard her say that. Bernie Sanders just absolutely has to win or I will be forced to vote for Clinton, who in all her endeavors, has never made me as mad as she did when this came out of her mouth. I was looking at the faces in the audience when the cameras scanned to see if any of them were as mortified as me, and I did see some shocked looks. Bernie's reply was exactly what I wanted to hear minus the "dastardly bastard" I would have added. Clinton is around my age and is a career politician, so no excuses, she has to know what Kissinger was all about, and still she assumed that we (American people) are so stupid we would just hear a famous political name and have a patriotic orgasm. Newsflash: I ain't no "Murica" screamin motherfucker who falls for name dropping bedazzlement capabilities. It would be best "Hil" if you just assume from now on that the people you need to hear you girl are just as smart as you are. You represent the wrong party for that bullshit.
Absolutely a WAR CRIMINAL and should be indicted as such!
christopher hitchens wrote intensively about kissinger's crimes
HOW COULD YOU DISLIKE THIS VIDEO
This is DEVASTATING !!!
Evil in the dictionary has Henry Kissinger picture.
Don’t Forget Cyprus
He needs to be set on fire, not sent to prison, for all the people her burned and maimed, including America soldiers.
People are STILL dying in Laos due to unexploded ordinance to this day, 50 years after.
Henry Kissinger, to me, is a pathetic bastard who had committed his biggest criminal deeds in the name of the national security of the United States. He should be held accountable for his crimes. Anybody who stands by him is a totally demented fool who should be ashamed of themselves. Kissinger is a BAD, ROTTEN AMERICAN!
Real Americans support Henry Kissinger.
It is easy to judge someone by taking quotations out of context
wow now this is the kind of guy you want as a villain in a superhero movie , he is the real deal evil smart and powerful
I don't normally like TYT videos but I'm with you 100% on this one.
Maybe its just me, but John does not exactly appear to be Henry Kissinger's greatest fan!
Thanks for adding all the "literally's" in literally every segment you're in, otherwise the information would go right over my head! :D
Why is that even a question!!?
he sounds like one of the movie villains who talks about his plans for 5 minutes before the hero gets him.
awesome John! stick it to Kissinger!
Is Henry Kissinger A War Criminal? "...many people rightly consider him to be a war criminal..." I'm sure this is going to be objective...
and the most laughlauble thing is that he posess a nobel prize of PEACE, what a joke..
“War is young men dying and old men talking”

Bravo sir
Kissinger is detested in the UK .
I listened carefully and counted 0 crimes.
For more information, people can read a book that lays out the evidence that might be in any future case, called"The Trial of Henry Kissinger", by the late Christopher Hitchens and Ariel Dorfman.
Crimes against humanity.
“To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal.” - Henry Kissinger LOOK AT SADDAM HUSSEIN, THE KURDS. UKRAINE, ETC
When I was in college (about 1974) I suggested to a professor that Henry was suffering from "amphetamine psychosis." I got a mild laugh. I understand that he is not leaving the US for fear of arrest.
And the punch line is he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize! No wonder Tom Lehrer gave up comedy!
Christopher Hitchens outlined the case against "Killinger" the best.
"Convincing people there's an outside threat, real or not, they will happily give up their rights".... Hmmm does this ring any bells, anyone?
Oh and promulgated means "declared", not "imagined".
Kissinger won the Nobel Peace prize, got america out of Vietnam with Treaty of Paris, helped end cold war by establishing Detente with USSR & START talks to reduce number of nuclear missiles, he started friendly US relations with communist China, he helped bring Middle East peace between Israel and Egypt, and helped end many conflicts like Cyprus, Bangladesh etc. In short he was an outstanding diplomat of exceptional ability. He introducted the term shuttle diplomacy, Those who criticize him tend to be absolute Zeros with no achievements whatsoever to their life.
