It absolutely rules that RS had this locked and loaded.
Really sucks that this world historical monster died unpunished after living a long and happy life, though.
It was long, but there's no way that was a happy man. But I agree with your general sentiment. He deserved much worse.
Nah, he was the kind of old bastard that couldn't be happy even if he was on a direct serotonin injection
He probably died of his body finally going to war against itself out of the sheer old man spite we wish will go with the boomers as we joke about it all dying off.
Everyone had their obits ready for him. Good riddance.
Chef and author Anthony Bourdain wrote the following about Kissinger in his 2001 book 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. 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. While Henry continues to nibble nori rolls and remaki at A-list parties, Cambodia, the neutral nation he secretly and illegally bombed, invaded, undermined, and then threw to the dogs, is still trying to raise itself up on its one remaining leg."
I remember that from Bourdain. Shame he died earlier than Kissinger.
For anyone who wants to learn a lot more about him, Behind the Bastards podcast has a six part series on him, from march of last year.

I fucking ADORE BtB and this series is one of their absolute best! 🔥❤️
The devil finally came to collect on their deal. I guess 100 years is the max you can get for selling your soul.
Fairly sure he did some work at google with their ai team before he died so won’t be surprised if they implanted him in an ai surrogate so he can continue to cause suffering through our information networks. Kind of like a haunted internet
We're here today to celebrate the passing of Henry Kissinger or, as he was known to friends and family, Roko's basilisk.
Kissinger would be the best possible test subject for a prototype tech lich.
They can transfer his undead consciousness into whatever tech abomination is supposed to upload people to immortality. Kissinger’s jet black soul will make the process seamless.
About fucking time. It's also a somber reminder that life isn't fair. Hope Hitler shoves pineapples up your ass in hell for eternity.
That's an awfully lax punishment... I hope he gets a Hitler made of pineapples shoved up his butt. Slowly.
Only the good die young

So was Betty White almost as evil as Henry Kissinger?
Betty White tried to kill that loveable oaf Homer Simpson.
Every rule has exceptions and Betty White was exceptional in many ways. RIP ❤️
And Mohammed Atta wasn't?
We still have Dolly. And we have had Jimmy and Rose Carter for a good while.
Good riddance. He was one of the biggest scumbags of this planet.
A well spoken man, who reached his boiling point with existence a fair bit to soon, always had a lot to say about Kissinger. An excerpt from a book "about" culinary tourism from Anthony Bourdain, if anyone wasn't aware...
Fucking FINALLY
Whoever it was that said they desperately hoped Jimmy Carter held on long enough for Kissinger to die first, I salute you. I truly didn't think it was possible after Rosalynn passed.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
His head will be preserved in (Ron Popeil’s) glass jar technology for advisement of future presidents (Richard Nixon’s head, I presume)
Best news the world has had in months if not years! 🥳
I just wish I still drank so I could properly celebrate with the biggest and most debauched party of my life!
Rot In Piss, scumbag
It was time for him to go.
I think it was a little over 50 years too late.
It was 100 years too late. His mother should've had a miscarriage.
