Describing the man as 'fascinating' and 'complicated' is all well and good, but he doesn't dare name him a war criminal. He treats Kissinger with a little too much respect and adulation for my taste.

Kissinger is extremely fascinating. I first read about him in Robert Greene’s “The 48 Laws of Power”. A guy who just always seems to come out on top no matter what. Worked under multiple presidents including Nixon - came out of watergate unscathed. Another figure that comes to mind is Talleyrand - once Napoleon’s chief diplomat. There are a lot of parallels between the two

I can't figure Kissinger out, to be honest. Growing up in DC in the 80s, I remember people fell into his aura, would excitedly talk about meeting him. Back then, he was what passed for "exotic", I guess. I think the breaking point was when I lived in China and read his book on the subject. He did not get China at all - his book is basically gpt3 trained on fortune cookies. I get the impression that he actually believed that he was making a strategic alliance against the USSR, and that it was something unusual or unprecedented for China to open itself to trade and foreign influence, and that this openness would endure. When in fact this happened again and again in Chinese history, and was almost always followed by a closing up. Which is exactly what we are seeing today.

Kissinger perfectly fits the caricatures the fringes portrayed him as. He’s one of the worst people in American history. He didn’t just luckily get to these positions. He greatly benefited from nepotism and lobbying from special interests groups. This dynamic still exist.

If that's what you took away from this video, you are exactly the kind of person who makes it impossible to have reasonable discussions about controversial people and events. Kissinger isn't evil. He has done some evil things. He has done some good things. He is a complicated, powerful person. Can you say for sure that you would've caused less harm in his position? I don't think you can, and if you assume you can, ask yourself what makes you so confident - ask yourself what makes you so sure you'd always make the right call. People who make bad calls are just as confident in their decisions as you are in your ability to avoid them. That kind of self-assured attitude is precisely what fools people into making bad decisions.

Absolutely agree. Brzezinski’s role to the same effect as Kissinger’s is extremely understated on a mainstream basis, which instantly prompts more attention for some of us. To my mind, much of what occurs today internationally stems from catalysts birthed during the latter half of the Carter administration, particularly activated by Brzezinski.
