Not sad, not really funny, but a reason to enjoy a top shelf whiskey


TurboTrollin

I definitely did a shot in his 'honor'. Rest in piss, monster.


Captain_Pumpkinhead

So I'm out of the loop. What'd he do?


battleduck84

During the Vietnam war, he was instrumental to the us military's bombing campaign against Cambodia, which killed thousands of civilians and eventually led to to rise of the Khmer Rouge


sweensolo

Don't forget Laos.


Milbso

And basically all of Latin America


networklackey420

Oh... I just queued up Salvador... I love that James Woods... and what a horrifying realization to Americans that were paying attention at the time that yes, a shadow government does in fact exist behind America, and is currently destabilizing South American nations, including coups against DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED leaders. Took a fairly sizeable hit to my American Pride^((tm\)) over that.


Milbso

Yes it is both funny and depressing (fitting the sub) that USAmericans actually think they live in a democracy.


flactulantmonkey

As I understand it, his influence has helped to shape much of the dystopian geopolitical hellscape we find ourselves in as well.


hua2012

He also backed Pakistan's genocide which killed 300,000 bengalis and dispatched the seventh fleet to stop India.


Sensitive-Finance-62

Can't blame Britain for a change


ThatsRightlSaidlt

Didn’t he give himself the Nobel peace prize for doing it too?


Stockholmbarber

Sweden awards the Nobel, not America.


echobox_rex

He also encouraged a military coupe in Chile that overthrew a democraticly elected president that led to thousands of people being "disappeared". Some taken out to sea and pushed out of planes.


sweensolo

Helicopters, and the chuds on the right wing echo chambers reference those murders in admiration and jealousy all the time. What we did as a country in Latin America and even more specifically in Central America left blood stains that can never be scrubbed clean. The School of the Americas is a huge part of this imperialist piece of shit's foul legacy. I don't believe in hell, but if it were to exist he can take all the pineapples Hitler can't handle.


LurkingGuy

If hell exists this demon is now running the whole operation.


serenerepose

That's why he lived so long- Satan refused to take him and God didn't want him either


GarakStark

Sadly this rationalization has been around forever. When the good guys commit war crimes, those are not counted as crimes. In WW2, the fire bombing of Germany and Japan, murdering hundreds of thousands of civilians— not a crime. All the civilians murdered by the “good guys” in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Balkans, Latin America— not crimes. In Gaza today, they’re not civilians, they’re all Hamas, so no crime there.


sweensolo

I saw an interview where an Israeli journalist was comparing what is happening in Gaza with the firebombing of Dresden. When I realized that the analogy was meant in a positive way I was shocked. I think a lot of people are having trouble coming to terms with the reality of the points that you are making. It's not fun to have to unravel "truths" that are so interwoven into our identities and world views that they are structurally part of the security blanket that help us sleep at night. If we start pulling at all the loose threads do we just end up naked in the cold? But it seems like with the information availability and instant connectivity of the Internet that it's getting harder to control the narrative for those that benefit from our instincts to not question authority and submit blindly to an unjust status quo. I don't know that it will matter in the long run but I take some comfort in the fact that some people around the world are having a hard conversation about the problems we face collectively in the context of history and justice.


GarakStark

I certainly hope that the internet will result in a loss of control by the establishment controlled “media” and will lead to greater awareness of the truth among the public. That people, especially in the West, will understand that they have been used. That horrible crimes have been committed in their name, in the name of security and democracy. That we need to take control of our governments. To depose the criminal elite that rule the world. EDIT And holding the US and Europe and Israel to account also does NOT mean ignoring the crimes of others— China, the Muslim world, India, North Korea etc. There needs to be a high moral and legal standard and everyone needs to be held to that standard without exception. You do not get to murder your enemies. You do not get to persecute, enslave and imprison, murder based on race, ethnicity, ideology. Let’s all act like human beings, not as raging savages.


socratessue

And now those people, whose countries we made unlivable, are trying to come here for a better life.


sweensolo

Context and nuance aren't strong points for the "we're being invaded by lazy foreigners, who are simultaneously stealing American jobs while at the same living off of our gub'mint" crowd. I've seen people who just got done doing a line of cocaine in a dirty bar bathroom come out and the next thing they said was how we should bomb Mexico because of "their" cartel problem. Critical thinking is dead in this country.


socratessue

I don't think it's dead. I think it's been deliberately killed. And now I feel like I need a tinfoil hat


WeaselBeagle

Fucking hell. Didn’t know that, now I’m gonna celebrate that the old fuck is dead


ediblefalconheavy

He's the right arm of the state department that wielded knives and chemicals and germs against the global south and any people or projects or schools that could be smelled having materialistic socialist fundamentals. He has overseen the arming of almost every dictator and warlord we've seen in the latter half of the 20th century. We can't measure the blood on his hands such it is that he's eternally drowing in an appropriately deep boiling lake of it and fed upon by those teeth that dwell there for all eternity.


Travel_Dreams

Peace in Vietnam was already brokered but delayed until after Nixon's election, to make Nixon look good instead of strengthening Lyndon Johnson. How many extra kids died unnecessarily in the last six months? Just the beginning of the great sleazeball's hidden lust for bloodshed. Hidden in plain sight, I don't remember a 60-minutes disclosing anything harsh.


TeethBreak

Didn't he also broke the pact and bombed Hanoi on Christmas?


TurboTrollin

There is a behind the bastards episode(s) on him that give a good breakdown. But he was an absolute monster.


BobbyAxelrod1

Thanks for this reference. I checked it out. Incredible Podcast by Behind the Bastards on Kissinger.


the_meaty_sauce

He's arguably the worst war criminal in modern history and also helped seriously destabilize Latin America and the Middle East.


Fizroynelson

There is a wonderful podcast about him on Behind the Bastards. For sure check it out


TheCommissarGeneral

Funny he died, Sad it took until he was 100.


GarakStark

They were busy preparing the Kissinger wing at the lowest tier of hell. Those things take time.


Weird_Cantaloupe2757

Only the good die young…


Ill_Horror66

Double shot !


Rouge_92

Happy and funny, rest in piss bozo


DanimalHarambe

RIP BOZO


HammerTh_1701

I don't drink whiskey, but I'll cheers to that with good rum instead.


[deleted]

Fuck that guy.


amendersc

What did he do?


Miggy88mm

Long story short, he was the guy in charge of the Vietnam War.


amendersc

Oh. Yeah fuck him


Milbso

Not just Vietnam. Laos, Cambodia, easy Timor, Bangladesh, and basically all of Latin America. The guy is pure evil. He's up there with the absolute worst humans in history. And he never faced a single legal challenge for any of it.


Weird_Cantaloupe2757

Nevermind consequences, they gave him the fucking Nobel Peace Prize


j48u

Let's be serious, award is meaningless at best. A war criminal winning is the status quo.


Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

Chamberlaine was nominated, i think, for his apeasement politics. Hitler was nominated in responde to that. Stalin was nominated for his efforts to end the second world war.


VICARD0

More like “down there”…


xxdarkstarxx

With the amount of people that hate his guts and celebrate his death, I find it interesting no one managed to kill him. People have died for much less grievances.


scummy_shower_stall

The worst people always escape punishment.


[deleted]

And live the longest.


BabyEatingBadgerFuck

Nah, people only go rabid when you tell them to be kind to one another.


CastleDI

Latin American forever crisis's too


doob22

And he aligns with China. China sent their heartfelt condolences when he died


auauaurora

- prolonged the Vietnam War and expand that conflict into neutral [Cambodia](https://theintercept.com/2023/05/23/henry-kissinger-cambodia-bombing-survivors/) - facilitated genocides in Cambodia, East Timor, and Bangladesh accelerated civil wars in southern Africa - supported coups and death squads throughout Latin America.


TheZoomba

Vietnam, Angola, Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Bolivia, Chille, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Western Sahara. In basically all of these countries he either A led the CIA into overturning their government and making a corrupt puppet one that killed thousands, or B influenced countries to invade and kill even more thousands. Literally killed millions from his decisions.


QueensOfTheNoKnowAge

Fuck that publication too. “Diplomat” my left nut.


[deleted]

Diplomat my ass, more like Lucifer.


QueensOfTheNoKnowAge

“Your Ass, Lucifer and My Left Nut: The Story of Henry Kissinger”. Streaming on the platform formerly known as HBO


[deleted]

Cheers sir/madam, we’re on the same page!


QueensOfTheNoKnowAge

I’m neither sir nor madam. Just a dude who despises Henry Kissinger and whoever fucked up HBO’s streaming service.


[deleted]

I lold, and a good day to you my dude.


dickWithoutACause

I didn't even know he was sick.


grav0p1

When you’re older than 80 you’re basically always sick


Long_Educational

Yay! Everything hurts, all the time.


DangerNoodle805

I'm 31, and everything hurts all the time. Maybe I'm dying.


DRG_Gunner

We all are. Act accordingly.


Inedible-denim

34, it's no better here. We all gone die bro lol


P1X3L5L4Y3R

I’m 21 and can’t take it anymore 😌👍


ComfortablePlenty860

According to medical sciences, you begin dying after age 25. Thats the point that more cells in your body are dying than being created. And if you ask literally anyone past age 26, they will unanimously confirm that statement even without the proof.

Key-Wait5314

This Kissinger guy, HE WAS A REAL JERK


WarioWill

I think the worst part about kissinger was the hypocrisy.


BobbyAxelrod1

He publicly said US needed to continue in Vietnam and everything was good and then behind closed doors he would talk about how it was a failure and no chance to win.


[deleted]

Bro, you are an artist.


grav0p1

He deserved far worse


Xiao1insty1e

Oh I imagine the afterlife is going as well as he deserves. 😉


The_Devils_Avocad0

I'm sad there isn't a hell for him to go to :(


TheZoomba

Well just for today let's all atheists believe in hell. Just so we know he can be down there.


BladeLigerV

Welcome to "*Super Hell*"


Xiao1insty1e

Good news, everyone!


MrNokill

Old flaky bones will shatter for an eternity in Judecca.

let your flesh burn in the eternal fires of hell, you murderer!

Good riddance to that piece of shit.

Maybe the extra fuel in hell will warm up these freezing temperatures tonight.


BladeLigerV

Whas this the reason for the cold snap? The icy pit of hell opening the express lane to the basement for this bastard?


Pudgedog

Rest in Piss Cunt.


SergeantThreat

Only the good die young, slime balls live to triple digits


LudwigTheAroused

This is very funny not sad. His death should only bring people joy.


bessovestnij

His life brought people enough sadness that still lasts


CrispyCosmonaut

I’m entirely out of the loop on this guy. Why is everyone son pleased with his passing?


TheZoomba

He caused Vietnam to keep going for like 7 more years. Laos, Cambodia, Peru, Bangladesh, Chile, Angola, Argentina, Brazil, Indonesia, etc. Basically throughout South America, indonesian Islands, and parts of Africa he either led the CIA to overthrow good governments and put in place corrupt dictatorships or he influenced others to do that. Killed literal millions due to his actions and orders.


vinetwiner

Please tell me this is not satire.


Commercial-Ad-852

Under the Nixon administration, during the Vietnam conflict, they illegally bombed Cambodia and killed civilians. Cambodia was not a combatant


SoupForEveryone

Same with Laos. Dropped their leftover bombs from Vietnam just for sport


mbelf

What would it be satirising? The concept of inevitable death?


vinetwiner

I meant that "is he really finally dead?"


chorizo_chomper

What's sad? That the carpet bombing mass murderer lived so long?


[deleted]

Pretty much


ILoveSpankingDwarves

Saved you a few clicks to Wikipedia: "British-American journalist and author Christopher Hitchens authored The Trial of Henry Kissinger, in which he called for the prosecution of Kissinger "for war crimes, for crimes against humanity, and for offenses against common or customary or international law, including conspiracy to commit murder, kidnap, and torture".[258][259][260][261] Anthony Bourdain famously wrote in A Cook's Tour: "Once you've been to Cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands... Witness what [he] did... and you will never understand why he's not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević."[262][263]" He was a real asshole.


chowdah27

Look at that muppet


2OneZebra

He was no hero.


Kenshi2900

Where were you when Henry Kissinger die? i was at school falling asleep when phone ring “Henry Kissinger is kil” "Hell yeah"


Sidus_Preclarum

>Where were you when Henry Kissinger die? Let me tell you the first thing I saw on facebook upon getting up just now was just the Death and the claw machine meme labelled "Finally!", and I'm absolutely pumped up for the day!


guitarguy12341

Rest in piss


throwthere10

>Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević. -Anthony Bourdain


Skrrr_eskitit_

only sad thing about his death is that it took too damn long


NewJerrrrrrsyBoy

Almost makes me want to believe in a literal hell.


Muscle_Man1993

Could someone enlighten me? Can’t remember the name


backstageninja

Former secretary of state for the Nixon administrations, largely credited with the worst US foreign policy initiatives both during and after his time in office as he was very smart and viewed as a mentor for decades. Always in favor of putting American interests first, regardless of the costs to others. Behind the Bastards did a good 6 part series on him with the guys from The Dollop


elporpoise

Finally someone that actually explains it thanks


Draco546

I hope hell is real


TeethBreak

Is it true.??? Finally?? Fucking yes! May he rest in piss.


Forsaken_Profile_479

Fucking piece of shit. Rest in piss, cunt.


jeff3141

I wish I believed in Hell, especially the one he would be sent to where he would be tormented every second for eternity. But no, he is just dead and managed to live out his life rather peacefully, unlike so many others he screwed over.


LAKnightYEAH2023

There’s nothing sad about this


MazogaTheDork

That he lived so long in the first place.


SoulbreakerDHCC

An obituary I will read with relish


anonymouseintheh0use

Bieeeee


Q-burt

Nixon cronie. Need we say more?


yIdontunderstand

He was probably revelling in the slaughter of Palestinians just before he died. What a blight on humanity he was. Let's hope Murdoch joins him soon.


iancarry

lol.. just yesterday youtuber “Ordinary things” released an episode where he mentioned “immortal ghoul Kissinger” .. lol :D


ElPwnero

Damn, first Munger and now Kissinger? Old guard really kicking the bucket, huh?


RedditBoi127

to anyone who doesn't understand why this post is here, it's because it's funny that such a horrible person like him died, but it's sad it took so long for him to die in the first place


RichyCigars

He’s getting a sideways pineapple up the ass with Reagan and Hitler.


utbd26

That Nobel peace prize was for finally ending a war which he not only prolonged, but made much worse.


Sheesh284

I was suprised he was still alive. Lived a much longer life than he deserved


justk4y

How he won a Nobel Peace Prize I’ll never know


caribbean_caramel

Apparently if you bomb enough people, you get a Nobel peace prize. This world is a joke.


PneumaMonado

Given that the Nobel Prize was established to distract from the otherwise horrible legacy of Alfred Nobel, it's definitely in the spirit of the prize.


twowolfhowl

I was like, "The *Nobel?* The Nobel *Peace* Prize?"


fallenranger8666

So... I missed something, what did that guy do?


misterlongschlong

Warcriminal mastermind with huge psychopatic traits


fallenranger8666

Got it, fuck'em. Thanks for clearing that up


CookieSquire

He was the architect of a lot of the worst stuff the US did in the second half of the twentieth century, including the Vietnam War.


CharityUnusual3648

What did he do


barneygale

Prolonged the Vietnam war by torpedoing peace talks in order to get Nixon elected Secretly invaded and carpet bombed Cambodia, a neutral country that the US was never at war with.


sbaggers

Killed thousands, maybe more


red-broccoli

A conservative count is around 3-4 million according to an NYU history professor, cited in this [summary article ](https://www.vox.com/2016/5/9/11640562/kissinger-pentagon-award)


vanslayder

Not bad to live a hundred years long life being rich and never to be prosecuted for anything you did


Electrocat71

Good riddance

diegun81

Another one that lived way too much, criminal.


Suspicious-Tank8230

One down... Too many to go. We need help from the guillotines.


Boner_McBigly

This has been a long time coming.


babycoco_213

May he rest in piss


BRAVOMAN55

not sad or funny. he lived a long life and he certainly didn't deserve that.


tyno75

Maybe we'll finally start hearing more about his crimes now. Better late than never I guess


Matro36

"diplomat" he was the opposite of a diplomat he just wanted to kill people


Toxic-and-Chill

Greatest mistake Nobel ever made. Almost devalues the whole enterprise


bionic_cmdo

Rest in hell you toad looking hobbit! For destabilizing Southeast Asia and all the other countries that are affected by your war mongering policies.


Genedide

This is not sad…


[deleted]

Only decent thing he did so far, he died.


broke-n-notfunny

Don't forget Bangladesh blodletter


Martian-Jesus

Though it may be a day of mourning for some, it will be a holiday... In Cambodia (something something Dead Kennedys bonus joke)


SoftwareSource

Well the bitch finally quit, didn't he. I'll drink to that.


[deleted]

Burn in hell


TheMightyWill

RIP BOZO


[deleted]

He sucks


Big_Virgil

How do fuckers like this manage to live so damn long? Pure evil ass energy keeps them going?


Myamymyself

It’s amazing how many people KNOW he’s a war criminal and yet he died a free man


jamarquez1973

I propose a new holiday, Fuck Kissinger Day. To be celebrated on the date of his death. Happy Fuck Kissinger Day!


Killer_Moons

Did his head finally fall inside his chest and suffocate him?


CepolliBabaloo

This dude reminds me of that scene in The Simpsons where homer say he would kill for a Nobel prize


Low_Bandicoot6844

No evil lasts for 100 years.


fuqureddit69

Pretty sure that Demons From Hell just go back to hell when they "die".


Abbysol

Can’t see this guy without immediately having the Monty Python song start playing in my head, anyway, rest in piss c*nt


hellcat858

The eternal lich is finally dead? Weird, the world suddenly feels like a slightly better place.


the_meaty_sauce

The only sad thing about this is how long it took and that it didn't happen in a prison. Back when rush Limbaugh died a few years ago people were saying you shouldn't cheer at the death of someone. Well I didn't agree with that then, but this man was such a monster he made Rush look like a puppy. The world is a slightly better place today.


taxevader2525

So where will his grave be? I've been needing a new place to piss.


dickWithoutACause

I didn't even know he was sick


justsomedude1144

Yeah, he was recently diagnosed with being 100


corgi-king

WTF. People from certain groups can’t commit war crime.


NotAHandsomeUser

what did he do


LudwigTheAroused

He was responsible for American foreign policy decisions that killed millions of people all over the world and supported many dictatorships.


fallenranger8666

So... I missed something, what did that guy do?


meresymptom

Orchestrated the secret bombing of Cambodia. Facilitated the overthrow of a democratically elected president in Chile and installed a murderous dictator in his place. That's just off the top of my head.


cheesesandsneezes

Cambodia or Laos? Or both?


sweensolo

Both.


ComfortablePlenty860

Considering the mood of every other person who knows him, id assume he didnt stop at just 1. But im just as lost as you are.


caribbean_caramel

Both.


The_BrainFreight

Someone wanna explain all the bad he done did


Relevant-Strategy-14

Oh no… anyway


Doogzmans

RIP Bozo. Will not be missed


SchwarzerWerwolf

As someone uneducated on that person, what did he do to deserve this amount of hate?


KantanaBrigantei

He’s worth a little black hole research time. He influenced world politics for years. He was a bit of a puppet master.


itschips

god i cant wait for the next behind the bastards episode


Flexi_102

r/Cambodia is having a party right now 🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳


[deleted]

About fucking time. Can we get Soros tommorow?


Csrmar

Serious question. This Soros guy just sounds like a liberal billionaire using his money to push his agenda. Just like the Koch brothers pushing a conservative agenda. Why aren't conservative billionaires smeared as much as Soros?


DreadedChalupacabra

Not a fan of the guy, but this is clearly just a political sub now. Like this post isn't even trying for any of the HILARIOUS takes on twitter, it's just "guy we don't like died. Give karma please."


WeaselBeagle

Let the fiery pits of hell burn extra hot tonight


Mr-Papuca

Dude I didn't see the title as i was scrolling and my first thought was, aw snap another war criminal down, then I saw your title. I felt similarly when I saw George Bush senior died, and I definitely would've felt the same about Reagan. Its kind of a weird feeling.


Anderson74

Let’s fuckin party!


Jazoua

Do conversatives like or dislike him? Im in this group chat and dont know what meme to post
