I was beginning to think he would live forever.
Unlike 99.9999% Kissinger will live on in memory, loved or hated. That’s more impressive to me than being boring and forgotten.
People like him led the way, maybe somewhat unintentionally, to the end of the Soviet Union and the cold war through Reagan. The only president that didn’t do that during the cold war was Carter.
I neither love or hate Kissinger. But I respect him.
