Putin mourns death of "extraordinary and wise" Henry Kissinger
"I will undoubtedly retain the fondest memory of him" Putin wrote in a message expressing his condolences to Kissinger's wife
Dean of the Space Lizards Henry Kissinger has died at the age of 100, which is quite young for a vampire who feasts on the blood of Cambodian orphans.
We will all miss Henry, especially Russian President Vladimir Putin, who sent Mrs. Nancy Kissinger a heartfelt message:
Dear Mrs. Kissinger,
Please accept our deepest condolences on the death of your husband Henry Kissinger.
An outstanding diplomat, a wise and far-sighted statesman, who for many decades enjoyed well-deserved authority throughout the world, has passed away. The name of Henry Kissinger is inextricably linked with a pragmatic foreign policy line, which at one time made it possible to achieve détente in international tensions and reach the most important Soviet-American agreements that contributed to the strengthening of global security.
I had the opportunity to personally communicate with this deep, extraordinary man many times, and I will undoubtedly retain the fondest memory of him.
I wish you, as well as all the relatives and friends of the deceased, mental fortitude in the face of this bereavement.
That’s it. That’s the blog post. Have a nice day.
I was still a kid in school when I read William Shawcross's brilliant book, Sideshow: Nixon, Kissinger, and the Destruction of Cambodia. My opinion of Kissinger was formed by my reading of that book and how policies primarily driven by Kissinger led to the Lon Nol coup, the ultimate victory of the Khmer Rouge, three years of genocide, and the inexplicable continued U.S. support for the Khmer Rouge after they were overthrown following Vietnam's invasion in 1978. My opinion of him has never changed and thus, unlike Vladimir Putin, I do not find myself mourning the man.
Kay Pollard Griggs told us all we need to know about Heinz. And it would be appropriate from Putin's double, a full blown puppet that it is, to mourn the master puppeteer Kissinger.
His widowed husband (not a typo!) sure will be sad.
His fav garden evil gnome has kicked the bucket!
