A peaceful death at home.

The man born Heinz Alfred Kissinger more commonly known as Henry Kissinger, has died. He passed at home with his shoes off at the late age of 100 years old. The way he deserved. To some he’s considered a war criminal and to others, a hero. I'm more on the hero side along with most of the elites across the world. I think he’s solid dude and one hell of an American. Not to mention an encyclopedia of knowledge.
Most of these war crime accusations are made by loser historians that put millions of deaths at his feet because he gave advice in one direction or another. Giving policy advice doesn’t make you good or bad. Decisions have to be made either way. To put millions of dead bodies on the guy is a bit of a stretch. Yes, he advised. Yes, he probably made some bad decisions. Perhaps his support for the U.S involvement in the Pakistani genocide of Bangladesh, or the 1970 carpet bombing of Cambodia. Yes, these are hard to defend, I know. Henry knew how the world worked from a young age escaping nazis. War is inevitable. Something he hated. personally, Henry he was a peaceful guy. Ever heard of the Nobel Peace Price? Dude secured one of those for some side work he did in Vietnam which resulted in a ceasefire. Don’t forget his diplomacy in the Yom Kippur War.
Nevertheless Mr. Kissinger’s name gets dragged in life and death. Maybe you guys don’t understand. Escaped the Nazis, flees to the Big Apple, makes it into college, gets drafted to the army, goes to defeat the Germans. Makes it home alive easy. He then goes to Harvard, reaches the pinnacle of academic excellence and never misses a beat serving his country. From serving at Harvard to the Center for International Affairs.
Kissinger was laying the ground to be one of the most influential people in U.S history. By the mid-1950s Kissinger collared with the Council on Foreign Relations, The US State Department, and the Rand Corporation. Henry would soon be in The Nixon cabinet and then go on to serve every U.S president after that. From a Jewish refugee to a prominent player in U.S diplomacy. How could that happen? Hard work and perseverance is how. Henry never gave up and never stopped working. He authored a dozen books on international affairs just in his spare time.
It makes you wonder, where is American diplomacy headed? Do we have another Kissinger among us ready to work for our national interests. Hopefully. If you go to Mr. Kissinger’s Wikipedia page you’ll see, this man is worker. He never stopped learning or telling the world what he thought. This is what we need in America. People who never stop working, learning, and fighting for peace. As the Kissinger era closes, we have some reflecting to do. Who will replace him? Will they be woke? Will they bother studying the past? The future holds that answer. I personally liked having a man like Henry behind the scenes and think American will have their work cut out for them in the ever so fast changing world. For now, we will have to deal with the likes of Anthony Blinken. Rest easy Mr. Heinz Alfred Kissinger, you lived a hell of a life, and you will be missed, war criminal or not.
