How the fuck did Henry Kissinger win a Nobel Peace Prize?
-
Kissinger also helped scuttle the 1968 peace talks in the early stage. Kissinger, with through careful inference or by leveraging his network, informed the Nixon campaign that peace talks were underway.
The Nixon administration, though Anna Chennault, encouraged the South Vietnamese to drat their feet in their talks. They promised more favorable conditions if they waited until Nixon won the election. Which he did in 1968.
Peace talks concluded in 1973.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Yeah. There's a reason why, out of a long tradition of American war criminals, he was for-real worried about getting arrested for his war crimes and didn't leave the US all that much after a certain point because of it.
He was also just generally stupid and weak. The people at Harvard thought he must be qualified because the people in Washington respected him, and the people in Washington thought he must be qualified because the people at Harvard respected him. But he was generally just kind of a bumbler, if you couldn't tell from that "reporters will hear you" line of argument.

Do you think winners like him discredit the award overall? Not sure what the deal with Obama was but I know Kissinger was an absolute fuck
I think they often try to steer the future rather than reward the past.
... It's not very effective.

Obama's prise was literarily "Not a 2x war criminal starting two illegal wars". That's it. He didn't earn it as much as the committee wanted to say fuck that war criminal W.
People forget just how AWFUL, divisive, and stupid W was. He was the reason Trump would ultimately be able to come to power. W started the Christo fascist bullshit. He started the unpunished lies. He started the constitutions undermining.
I don't know much about Kissinger except that he's a treasonus piece of shit war criminal. He faked some peace deal between Palestine / Israel but it was all bullshit.
Kissinger got the same glazing as Regan, because it was pre social media and people were just fed patriotic bullshit about those two cunts.

True though Bush administration got the 9/11 response, which was mostly the legal implementation of fascist tools.
