Even knowing who Kissinger is, shows how old you are Mike. His influence on America was profound, in the MOST NEGATIVE way possible, but very few understand why anymore.

RealPolitik destroyed America's position diplomatically and began our decline.

I saw that Kissinger went to China this past Summer where he was feted and honored. He is revered in China's political classes because he revealed something fundamental about America.

America has NO MORALS, NO PRINCIPLES, and NO ETHICS. We have ONLY INTERESTS.

Which means, we will throw you under the bus as soon as it/s in our INTEREST to do so.

When we decided that 'honesty", "morality", and 'decency' were for "Losers", America stopped being trustworthy.
