A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

My only question is: Why? History is already not kind to Kissinger and he will be remembered as an architect of bloody wars. He's also not in any office of the US, so he's as legitimate as Dennis Rodman is for diplomatic negotiations.
It is a good question. I know that Bill Clinton did some goodwill diplomatic stuff under Obama.
Kissinger is really only known for being some sorta criminal mastermind. He never scored high on charisma.
To say I dislike Henry Kissinger is to vastly understate my opinion of him.
How is that ghoul still alive? If you consider a pact with the devil, that might explain a few things...
That was my first thought - Is he still alive? He must be 110 by now.
Close: 100
Well he probably did send a lot of customers Satan's way.
Hitch is dead, yet this piece of shit still lives. That alone shows there's no God!
Look on the bright side. Pat Robertson is still dead!
Dear China,
You can keep him.
When will this fucking goon die already. Fuuuuuuuck.
Well that's a shame, I was hoping he'd kicked the bucket by now.
Even Satan doesn't want him.
Can't say I blame him.
He's 100 years old. What on earth is he doing? There's no way this meeting is going to be helpful.
If Russia or North Korea wanted to improve their world image, a well timed, "errant" surface to air missle could go a long way here.
I'm extremely surprised he is still alive. 100 years old, damn.
Not even hell wants him
He must be another new Lemmy user dusting off his old memes.
If the good die young Kissinger is going to outlive us all.
