Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger turns 100, celebrated by the American elite while others criticize him for never facing accountability for his role in expanding the Vietnam War, supporting military coups in Chile and Argentina, and turning a blind eye to mass atrocities in Bangladesh. Despite his controversial legacy, Kissinger's brand of realpolitik has enjoyed greater repute, and he has warned the US against treating China as a new Cold War-style adversary.
