Kissinger’s realpolitik: a legacy of strife and misery

As published in the Hill Times: Dec. 6, 2023

For example, Kissinger was a key player in exaggerating the Cold War Soviet military threat, assisting Indonesia’s 1965 peasant genocide, planning the 1970s carpet-bombing of Cambodia and Laos, advising the brutal Shah of Iran and helping General Pinochet destroy Chilean democracy 1973.

As published in the Hill Times: 14 Dec. 2022

I noticed this Toronto Sun editorial comment at the end of a Nov. 23 reader’s letter on worker’s wages:

“(With government, expanding constantly, and offering more and more services we cannot afford, the money has to come from somewhere)”
