text teach in about US foreign policy under Kissinger
Nephew:
What kinda war crimes was he up to?
Bug:
Dropping more bombs on Cambodia than the Allies dropped during all of WW2, for example. A successful coup against the legitimately elected socialist president of Chile. Those are my top two, but there are more of the same. A lot of US foreign policy after WW2 was about stopping socialism wherever and whenever, including the Red Scare at home. WW2 had left a lot of the world worn out and wanting a more socialist kind of system. The US fought back against this with every tool it had. Then after the Berlin Wall fell, the Soviet Bloc fell into a sort of criminal capitalism but at least capitalism. And Communist China is practically capitalist now, with almost as many billionaires as the US. So then US foreign policy needed a new enemy: Terrorism! Now Biden is trying to pivot us back against China and Russia as Tyranny! So, basically all of this has been Kissinger’s ideas.
