Controversy Surrounds Kissinger's 100th Birthday
TL;DR Summary
Henry Kissinger, former US Secretary of State, turned 100 years old on May 27. He is known for his role in defending American imperialism and destroying the legacy of the Russian Revolution. During his time in office, at least one million people died in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, most of them killed by US bombs, napalm, or chemicals. Kissinger oversaw a wave of military coups and dictatorships in Latin America, most notably in Chile, where he supported the CIA-backed military overthrow of the reformist regime of Salvador Allende. Kissinger's legacy is one of ruthlessness and a determination to crush revolution.
