    It’s astonishing to me, how completely, I don’t really know what to call it, unmotivated? he was in his actions. I could understand, if there would have been an ideology behind it, even money I could somehow understand. But instead it seems to be just a complete disregard of human life in general. He was under no pressure, no reelection, no personal threat, nothing. He just truly did not care.

    And that is fucking terrifying.

      It’s rare that you find someone who seems to do evil for evil sake, especially for that long and that level.

      There’s other people who are patently evil, but they at least tend to do it for money or power.

      Kissinger didn’t, sure he did get money and power fueling the military industrial complex, but his actions reflect that for him, that was secondary.

      His primary goal was creating misery.

      Remember, this is a guy who escaped Nazi Germany in 1938 as a Jew, because of what Hitler was doing.

      To then later pretty much state that if he hadn’t been born Jewish, he’d have been an antisemite.
