Henry Kissinger has died aged 100.
I have a feeling that none of us would be alive if it wasn't for him -
especially the way he influenced the cold war.
He started out as a Jewish refugee.

Summary

    Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has died aged 100 at his home in Connecticut

    A statement from Kissinger Associates did not give the cause of death

    Kissinger served as America's top diplomat and national security adviser during the Nixon and Ford administrations

    He energetically pursued the policy of détente which thawed relations with the Soviet Union and China

    He was accused of - at the very least - tacit support for the bloody coup that overturned a leftist government in Chile

    Kissinger was both awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and roundly condemned as a war criminal

Now Niall Ferguson can publish the second volume of his biography of Kissinger.

Kissinger gave Ferguson unfettered access to all of his documents and records to write a warts-and-all biography which Kissinger thought would take so long to write, he'd be dead before it was published.

However, Ferguson's first volume was published in 2015.

The second volume, covering Kissinger's life from 1968, is yet to be published.

This second volume will probably 'indict' Kissinger, but now that he's dead, not.

"A statement from Kissinger Associates did not give the cause of death".

Uh... lemme guess.    Old age, just maybe?    ;D

Never without his detractors, Kissinger after he left government was dogged by critics who argued that he should be called to account for his policies on Southeast Asia and support of repressive regimes in Latin America.

For eight restless years — first as national security adviser, later as secretary of state, and for a time in the middle holding both titles — Kissinger ranged across the breadth of major foreign policy issues. He conducted the first “shuttle diplomacy” in the quest for Middle East peace. He used secret channels to pursue ties between the United States and China, ending decades of isolation and mutual hostility.

He initiated the Paris negotiations that ultimately provided a face-saving means — a “decent interval,” he called it — to get the United States out of a costly war in Vietnam. Two years later, Saigon fell to the communists.

And he pursued a policy of detente with the Soviet Union that led to arms control agreements and raised the possibility that the tensions of the Cold War and its nuclear threat did not have to last forever.

The funny thing is that the Jewish people do not seem to have taken on the victim mentality

One of course cannot say the same for the Palestinians who are the pet victims of the lefty intellectuals


The reason for the Jewish people not becoming victims is contained in their religious stories


They wander in the desert for 40 years under Moses
Initially god protects them
Sends them manna from heaven
But they do a lot of complaining

Moses eventually is given the message from the supreme leader
Because you have failed to be grateful you shall wander in the desert for 40 years
To contemplate your in gratitude


The Jews basically got the message that complaining is for losers

It's probably the most stunningly important piece of self-help advice ever given to humans by the commander-in-chief
