Having lived for almost a century, friend and mentor of Hillary Clinton and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Henry Kissinger is quite a polarizing figure. Venerated as one of the greatest Secretaries of State by many international relations scholars and even compared with fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate Barack Obama as a practitioner of realism, Kissinger is also hated and condemned by many particularly those on the left as an alleged war criminal, moreso than Bush and Blair. I lose count of how many times I see #HenryKissinger trending on Twitter outside of his birthday. Why do so many people hate Henry Kissinger so much when there are ton of other Americans who did similar things and killed as many if not more people? Are they the same people who has been accusing Obama of war crimes for the practice of double tap strike?
Curtis LeMay killed hundreds of thousands of civilians when he firebombed Japan during World War II. Robert McNamara killed hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese civilians with fragmentation bombs, napalm, and Agent Orange. Lyndon B. Johnson and his administration directly assisted Suharto in exterminating 1 million tankies in Indonesia and later administrations supported the Indonesian occupation of East Timor which includes a genocide. Many administrations also supported the Guatemalan government in the Guatemalan Civil War and thus are complicit in a genocide. StellarHalo ( talk) 20:09, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
Besides Emmanuel Macron, Jean-Michel Blanquer, Elisabeth Moreno Liz Truss, and Rishi Sunak, who are the European politicians who publicly said that they oppose wokeness? StellarHalo ( talk) 20:31, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
