Zbigniew Brzezinski, the hawkish strategic theorist who was national security adviser to President Jimmy Carter in the tumultuous years of the Iran hostage crisis and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the late 1970s, died on Friday at a hospital in Virginia. He was 89.
His death, at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, was announced on Friday by his daughter, Mika Brzezinski, a co-host of the MSNBC program “Morning Joe.”
Like his predecessor Henry A. Kissinger, Mr. Brzezinski was a foreign-born scholar (he in Poland, Mr. Kissinger in Germany) with considerable influence in global affairs, both before and long after his official tour of duty in the White House. In essays, interviews and television appearances over the decades, he cast a sharp eye on six successive administrations, including that of Donald J. Trump, whose election he did not support and whose foreign policy, he found, lacked coherence.

Good
Joe’s Father-in-Law?
Even when the Slimes write an obituary, they got to take a shot at Trump.

“Zbigniew Brzezinski, National Security Adviser to Jimmy Carter, Dies at 89”
One of my professors was a student of his. Zbig hated the Russians.
ok.
No integrity, no shame, and no pretense as to their real objective.
Worked under him indirectly. A harsh, severe and strict man. Far to the right of the president he served, which wasn’t hard to be. A globalist’s globalist. Amazing that Kissinger is outliving all these people.
I’d like to buy a vowel.
Which means he couldn’t have been all bad. RIP
“One of my professors was a student of his. Zbig hated the Russians.”
He was the Cold War hawk of the Carter administration.
The difference between Zbig’s generation and Mika’s is that he was a liberal, but he also supported America against the communists, and he saw the Soviets as the enemy of freedom, not the future of the world. RIP, old man; we will all be joining you, sooner or later.
Will Scarborough blame Trump?
Hmmmph....thought he’d long passed.
I’ve spent an aggregate total of weeks in Fairfax iNova, and it’s the best hospital there is. I have been in a lot of them. If he was there and he went, it was his time.
I have driven myself there in serious cardiac distress rather than going to the local hospital, because they’re serious about their medicine.
/shameless plug for a terrific hospital
The man who seems to be outliving everyone is Billy Graham.
Don’t mean to be rude, but based on his socialist leanings that I recall, good! There are a few other fossilized comrades who should be getting close to their ‘sell by dates’.
