The Controversial Legacy of Henry Kissinger at 100
TL;DR Summary
Henry Kissinger, the former top diplomat and security adviser to US presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, turns 100 years old, celebrated by the American elite while critics argue he has never faced accountability for his role in expanding the Vietnam War, supporting military coups in Chile and Argentina, and turning a blind eye to mass atrocities in Bangladesh. Despite his controversial legacy, Kissinger's brand of realpolitik has enjoyed greater repute, and he continues to caution the US to stay within the bounds of "vital interests" and advocate for diplomacy with Russia on a ceasefire in Ukraine.
