Thread 18083963

Truthpill me about the old kike. While I do enjoy his realist thought as presented in the textbooks, I wanna know what they won't tell me. Do your best /pol/.

>>18083963 (OP)
He was actually very cynical and did nothing and wasn't responsible for the extreme policies that were happening. Most of Vietnam was without any authorization and just the military acting without a declaration of war.
It was a boomer event. Nobody was centrally responsible except the CIA and the industries trading with China illegally and helping communism.

>>18083984
Writing my masters about him and the China pivot in the 70's. Any Truthpill on that?

>>18084070
In Korean war there was huge controversy over trade with China. America funded China and John Deere credited beiye which created the whole industrial base in China. Western companies built the Chinese economy and American tractors were critical before the modern reforms that allowed electronics and other things less materially useful but more profitable. The CIA created NORINCO.

He was Nixon's state-appointed tard wrangler

Are you seriously asking the resident schizo about "muh Truthpill"?
Drop out now anon, you're ngmi

>>18083963 (OP)
Muh "realism" was just a cover for war crimes.
Kissinger was a ruthless, amoral fuck who treated the world like a chessboard.

> Southeast Asia
Secretly bombed and then invaded Cambodia, a neutral country, creating the chaos that allowed the Khmer Rouge to take power and genocide 2 million people. He called it a good murdering. Literal blood on his hands.

> South America
Green-lit operation condor, a campaign of assassination and state terror by right-wing dictatorships that disappeared tens of thousands of leftists, students, and teachers.

> Bangladesh
Supported fucking Pakistan genocide in Bangladesh (1971) because he valued his China-Pakistan alliance more than human lives. Also told Nixon to ignore the morality of the slaughter.

Grand strategy was built on a mountain of corpses. He was a monster who got a Nobel Peace Prize for ending a war he prolonged for political gain. Fuck that guy.

>Kissinger opposed the idea of a United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
>In 1985, he publicly supported President Ronald Reagan’s wreath-laying ceremony at a military cemetery in Bitburg, West Germany where members of the Waffen-SS are buried.
>“The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy, and if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern.”
>Kissinger was irked by the concern expressed by American Jews about the fate of Soviet Jewry, calling the former “self-serving…bastards.”
>at a contemporaneous meeting of the Washington Special Actions Group, a government crisis task force, Kissinger grumbled, “If it were not for the accident of my birth, I would be antisemitic.” He added: “Any people who has been persecuted for two thousand years must be doing something wrong.”
>During a Vietnam War-era chat from October 1973 with Brent Scowcroft, Deputy Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, Kissinger found American Jews and Israelis “as obnoxious as the Vietnamese.”
>In another transcribed telephone conversation from November 1973, Kissinger declared: “I’m going to be the first Jew accused of antisemitism.”
>Kissinger also mocked those who defended Jews, especially Israelis. One such target was presidential adviser Daniel Patrick Moynihan, whose pro-Israel stance evoked this comment from Kissinger: “We are conducting foreign policy. … This is not a synagogue.”
>one of Kissinger’s first actions as Secretary of State was to revoke the standard procedure allowing Jewish State Department employees holidays on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur
>historian Gil Troy depicted Kissinger as a “conflicted” Jew and “German intellectual”

Biggest truthpill is to figure out which way your professor leans politically and write something that aligns with their worldview
Be a Kissinger, get what you want first then write about the truth

He also prolonged the Yom Kippur war and caused the oil embrago, despite knowing it would happen and despite the Israelis being open to an early ceasefire.
Initially when the Israelis asked for an airlift he refused because he (correctly) feared an oil embargo, but later when the war went from bad to worse for Israel and they actually asked for a ceasefire he told them that a ceasefire must come from a position of Israeli strength and then greenlit operation Nickel Grass, which of course led to the oil embargo.

He was an evil cunt, but realism is the only real foreign relatioons theory, the others are just cope. Morgenthau is similar, another evil judaic cunt, but also realist in thought.

>>18084368
Yeah, know that, my prof is pro-realism, wich is really unusual in my country (Poland) where realism=satan. I fucking despise idealist theories in international relations, since it fucked up my country so many times in history.

>>18084487
You're right. IE is just "do the lesser evil". Realism has at least the guts to admit it - idealist theories are detached from reality, and then they scrath their heads why did the peace last only 20 years or why another civil war broke out.

>>18084363
kek I can see why Nixon picked him

>>18084358
Bombing and invading Cambodia was 100% justified. They were absolutely not a neutral country. King Norodom Sihanouk signed a deal with North Vietnam to allow NVA/VC forces to pass through Eastern Cambodia and set up border sanctuaries to facilitate infiltration into South Vietnan. He even let China and the USSR use the port of Preah Sihanouk to move weapons through and help smuggle them into the South (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sihanouk_Trail). When Lon Nol took power Norodom even urged Cambodian monarchists to ally with the Khmer Rouge to fight back against the Khmer Republic. He's just as responsible for causing the genocide considering he even accepted being a Khmer Rouge figurehead in the early days of Democratic Kampuchea.

>>18084358
Europe: gladio, years of lead, portuguese color revolution and the killing of Carrero Blanco

>>18084358
Who cares if its "moral" or not, how did he benefit his country? That's the only real metric by which he should be judged

>>18085026
> Yay let China have our industries they will become liberal democrats

>>18085044
Now that's a valid criticism at least

>>18084358
>Secretly bombed and then invaded Cambodia, a neutral country, creating the chaos that allowed the Khmer Rouge to take power
Weren't the vietcong literally getting their supplies through "neutral" countries like Laos and also withdrawing there for protection?
>Green-lit operation condor, a campaign of assassination and state terror by right-wing dictatorships that disappeared tens of thousands of leftists, students, and teachers
The exact leftists that were constantly agitating for violent revolutions and turned south america into a shithole today?
>Supported fucking Pakistan genocide in Bangladesh (1971) because he valued his China-Pakistan alliance more than human lives
Don't care not my problem
>>18085019
From the sheer amount of whiney leftists still infesting Europe he didnt go far enough

>>18085082
So he was outsmarted. Sino-soviet split was fake

>>18084363
From patternfagging I genuinely believe the next great gigachud geopolitical strategist will be a chinese american guy with KMT roots who will be even chuddier than kissinger

>>18085091
Well he pissed the right too. He promoted a communist coup in Portugal and killed Franco appointed replacement

Who's going to be the next Napoleon/Lenin/Hitler? And which country will it be?

Ww2 really is the most boring memed overdone war that exists which is why his spams it.
His fixates on death toll. The civilian death toll. The military death toll in WW2 as KIA on the Soviet side was five million. It wasn't a lot. WW1 had more. The taiping rebellion, Napoleonic and Russian civil wars each had 2/3 as many deaths. The number of deaths was not a lot more than other wars that his completely ignores.
The bomb volume dropped in ww2 was a lot less than Vietnam. The bomb volume was less and the air warfare was a lot less. The air to air warfare was limited to battle of Britain and Pacific which his ignores anyway. Eastern front was the worst for air warfare.
WW1 had many more artillery shells fired than WW2. Where the big discrepancy comes in is in tanks.
WW2 had only one large tank battle (Kursk). Because his doesn't discuss Kursk it actually doesn't discuss anything about WW2 at all. It just spams lend lease black cock American bullshit. Hitler spam. Random race spam.
Wikipedia had a edit war to hide Yamato sinking itself.
