With all due respect to you, Andrei, but for those of us who were around in the 1960s/70s, Henry Kissinger’s legacy evokes the term, “War Criminal.”
This man and his associates perpetrated vast millions of murders, bombs and military equipment that saw millions of people die horrible deaths. Think about Pinochet in Chili and what his dictatorship did to the citizens. Many other poor nations saw their countries destroyed by this arch murderer. Kissinger was the chief architect in these massive slaughters.
Christopher Hitchens wrote an excellent book, that accounted for all of Kissinger’s atrocities. It’s called “The Trial of Henry Kissinger.”
One person on Amazon stated: “This excellent account of one of the dirtiest, most heartless humans to exist. To think Kissinger was a lucky boy escaping Nazi Germany too, makes it all the more shocking, the contempt he has for human life.”
We have not forgotten Kissinger. Whether he’s speaking at Davos or some other affiliation, you can never believe a word he says.
The only reckoning Kissinger deserves is to stand in front of God Almighty. Thank God for justice.
You would have to have been there through those years to truly recognize how diabolical that man was.
I swear Kissinger and madeleine albright were identical twins. Absolutely zero remorse or compassion for the multitude they murdered. I would imagine Kissinger will be going to hell soon to reunite with his beloved witch.
Don’t be surprised by the commonalities. And one commonality explains it all. Their blood-lust is insatiable, and I’m not just referring to the two mentioned here.
Yup. Same commonality as they share with each president of the “Ivy League” colleges.
Rubicon, perhaps Andrei was being ironical.
However, your point is well made.
Kissinger is one of the architects of the current world. I think it is important to reflect on what he is saying, although in this case it seems obvious. His warnings at Davos was more interesting, and particularly how they seems to pass unheeded. He sees and understand where things are moving, and will probably live to see his life work in ruins. There might be some comfort in that.
Think about Pinochet in Chili and what his dictatorship did to the citizens
Mr. Pinochet was the best for us the people of Chile.
@ Roberto on August 13, 2022 · at 9:41 pm EST/EDT
Mr. Pinochet was the best for us the people of Chile.
Sure.
For all of those who benefited from Pinochet’s crimes, he was excellent.
For the Chilean ruling classes, accomplices in the killing of thousands of Chileans from all walks of life, those who opposed the CIA-orchestrated coup d’etat, he was a hero. Paraphrasing Roosevelt talking about Nicaragua’s dictator Somoza, Kissinger could have said about Pinochet, “he’s a SOB but he’s ours.”
And he was the greatest SOB Chile has had in its history.
Pinochet was a ruthless criminal, a thug with no morals, a petty thief, the typical human detritus the US has created for decades in the “School of the Americas” to perpetuate the domination and subjugation of Latin American countries to the Empire of Lies.
He was the killer of Salvador Allende, Victor Jara, Pablo Neruda, Orlando Letelier, bombed to bits with his assistant in Washington, D.C., and tens of thousands other Chileans, the best of the best of Chile. In 2011, 10,000 more killings were added to Pinochet’s macabre account, for a total of 40,000 assassinations. That’s the official tally, easily could be double that figure.
So, yeah, he was the best for the “people” of Chile whose hands are up to the elbows in the blood of thousands of other Chileans, whose only crime was to oppose a CIA-imposed tyrant, head of an illegal, illegitimate government, product of yet another CIA coup d’etat in Latin America.
And Kissinger was the brain behind.

General Pinochet resisted to the last to go against the constitution. But after the ultimatum given by the other forces, especially the Navy, and the evidence, which could attest, that all the militant forces were armed and, therefore, that the outbreak of a civil war would take place from one moment to another, was what made him decide to take action to avoid it.
What came later can be explained, in part, because the intelligence services, security forces and the armed forces themselves were totally infiltrated by the CIA and the Chilean Nazis, just as in Ukraine (In fact, even the leftist movements radical were infiltrated) and he, obviously, depended on the information they gave him.
Now, while a single murder is unfair, I think your figure of 10,000 is already exaggerated, and I would like to know where you got such a figure from (40,000… double?) I think the real figure is between 3,000 and 5,000, much more lower than in Argentina and Brazil, to name a few of the worst; and yet Pinochet has a worse bad press than the latter.
Why does he have such a bad press?: “because he brought down a socialist movement that came to power through democratic means”. Really? 1.- Allende became president with 33% of the votes, because at that time there was no 2nd round or ballot. If there had been no win. 2.- Even when there was a fierce opposition in parliament and destabilization financed from abroad, the ranks that should have supported him had no discipline and did what they wanted, including his own party. 3.- The endless assaults and seizures of estates (haciendas) and industries without control (and in the control or management of these intervened companies people were placed who did not have the capacity or technical knowledge to take them out, just because they were militant of such or which party), bank robberies, etc., paralyzed the economy.
I could give many more examples of why the coup of September 11, 1973 happened, of which all the actors are guilty, but what I am sure of is that it was not because a “thug” woke up that day and said ” I’m going to take over the country”…

Oh, he was a savior of Chile, forced by the circumstances to become a murderous tin-pot dictator.
Right.
Being an apologist of Pinochet, this late into the game, at the time Russia is breaking a path in history challenging the structures that gave birth to such aberrations, is a miserable job.
Really.
Pinochet is one more in a long list of petty tyrants, dictators, and tin-pot clowns that have ruled Latin American countries for the benefit of the Empire of Lies, and the corrupt ruling classes oppressing and killing their own.
Stroessner, Perez Jimenez, Figueiredo, Castillo Armas, Duvalier, Bordaberry, Trujillo, Velasco Alvarado, Somoza, Carias Andino, Rodriguez Lara, Batista, Rojas Pinilla, Banzer, Videla, and Pinochet, were all among the puppets and butchers of their own people at the service of the empire.
So, Pinochet only killed 3,000 Chileans, not 40,000? Oh, what a consolation, not as many as those bad dictators in Argentina and Brazil. Those were bad, Pinochet, good.
Shame.
Nauseating.
Really.

Dear Lone Wolf, think about Mr. Putin in Chechenia.
There was around 3000 people death since september 1973. Almost 900 were from military or security forces.
There is not good or bad people, there are a lot of dark blue, gray, light red….
You don’t know. Have you been in Chile or South America? Very difficult to know without being there or knowing the language-culture. I know about S.A., but I would refrain from making judgments about Ecuador, Colombia, Paraguay…or even Venezuela, for example. I think Pinochet was Chile’s Putin. He took Chile from a catastrophic and dangerous situation and turned it into a very prosperous country. Very similar in all respects. It could be that certain communists were for Pinochet like the Chechnya rebels for Putin, with both doing (in their mind) whatever it took to ‘defend’ their country. If they thought some individual was a traitor and a danger…
Under Pinochet, there was great economic progress in Chile, and Pinochet’s changes were not cancelled by several presidents after him. Likewise, personal real income increased a lot in this century with Putin in Russia. By the way, your opinion about Pinochet is in perfect accord with the editorial board of the New York Times and the Moscow Times, and all the msn (so you should try to look at the Chile issue from another angle too). Forget about Pinochet and his Junta being puppets (or CIA-imposed). Countries have their internal dynamics and politics which puppet theorists ignore.
He wasn’t Chiles Putin fool,he was Chiles Franco,his Gestapo, DINA tortured a British Doctor for giving medical aid to a member of the oposition,and to my disgust our Government in the UK under that other fascist Thatcher didn’t say or do a damn thing about it.now take a hike Fascist.
Few if any heard about your British compatriot. That sounds like a lie too (torturing the doctor for curing someone!). Maybe not even F. Castro would have done that, but a lot of Europeans who sound like you liked Fidel’s communist expropriations and dictatorship.
For Russia, Putin invades and would get rid of any enemy if he thought it necessary. And so was Pinochet like (they say). Maybe Pinochet is a softie by comparison with Putin, if the SMO is not a “war” like he says (for crying out loud!). Franco saved Spain from communism. Spain’s economy did well under him. He kept Spain out of WWII. Considering also the great power that Putin has in Russia, a comparison with Franco’s power is valid too.
Read this Fascist.
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1080/03064227608532531
You mean: “Read this, fascist”, dont you ? Punctuation and prepositions determine all meaning in English. I am from India . Mohd Ali Jinnah , founder of Pakistan , was the gretaest lawyer in Bombay High Court in the last century. I too live now in Bombay or Mumbai as it is now known. On one occasion around 1908, he was arguing at length in Bombay High Court before a somewhat rude British Judge. The Judge interjected 3 times during JInnah’s address , saying “rubbish !”. After the third instance, Jinnah said “Nothing but “rubbish” has come from my Lordship’s lips all day long”. No contempt of court there if Jinnah defended himself with rubbish intended with quotation marks. Incidentally, even today in India, the Court practice is to address the Judge as “Your Lordship” or “Your Ladyship”
Perfectly stated, Lone Wolf
And, to think that Kissinger enticed many other “political leaders” in Latin America, parts of Asia, to apply the same brutality against their people.
Here we see an interesting argument about Pinochet in Chile – just like in the case with the nationalist regime in South Africa between ’48 and ’94; the support for the socialist side of the conflict is always sacrosanct (no matter the number of casualties their revolution caused) or the positive achievements of the nationalists – this must always be denied or not mentioned. It’s just like support for football teams. Dedicated football team supporters are never able to be critical of their own team, no matter how many ‘Red Cards’ they got.
Dear Lone Wolf, I am a chilean. The history is more convoluted than good and bad guys.
You have to learn history not political advertising.

Pinochet was the best thing ever for chileans after the retarded communists trying to imitate cuba and soviet russia destroyed the country. Kissinger was right at that time.

With all due respect to you, Andrei, but for those of us who were around in the 1960s/70s, Henry Kissinger’s legacy evokes the term, “War Criminal.”
———————————————————-
True.
And Chile under Pinochet pales in comparison to what Kissinger did in Viet Nam, Cambodia, Laos.
Only the “Christmas Bombing” in 1972, is enough to condemn Kissinger (and Nixon, if he were alive), to life in prison for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
However, Martyanov’s treatment of Kissinger as a “respectable statesman” has more to do with his contempt for the new generations of “statesmen” than with his respect for Kissinger. All along he kept demolishing Kissinger’s arguments, and constantly asking “what kind of war does he want?”
I see your point, just take into account Martyanov’s background when passing judgment on his views. I am sure he would reconsider his perspective of Kissinger if he gets to read the comments on his video.
In any event, you made an excellent point, necessary to frame Kissinger under a different light, that of a racist war criminal.
Lone Wolf
Saying Kissinger was respectable is correct in the same way Hitler was intelligent: both had hearts of pure evil, but both knew how to behave with class.
Compare their behaviours with Tony Blinken or Boris Johnson; can you honestly say Blinken or Johnson carry themselves in respectable & intelligent ways?

——————————————————————
By all means, no. Not at all.
My intention was to soften the criticism of Martyanov’s statement re: Kissinger being “respectable.” I have no idea what does it mean for him, but his continuous critique of the current diplomatic core tells me he thinks of Kissinger’s “respectability” (intelligence? class, as you pointed out? can’t tell) in relation to the “sophomoric” crowd of government officials now in charge.
(“Sophomoric” being another of Martyanov’s favorite expressions.)
Another example.
The Saker considers James Baker to be one of the last statesmen in the US, and I agree with his opinion. I am sure that has nothing to do with Baker’s policies or political positions, it is all about his role and performance as Secretary of State.
Martyanov might see Kissinger under the same light.

“Christopher Hitchens wrote an excellent book, that accounted for all of Kissinger’s atrocities. It’s called “The Trial of Henry Kissinger.””
And what happened later to Christopher? Putin/Russia hater just like Anthony Beevor. How many leftist “intellectuals” have we found actually as worst western warmongers?
I have to say now that his brother Peter Hitchens has much more truth than overhyped Christopher.
He just has the right kind of nose. All else is fake
Yes not to mention the Greek Colonels brutal junta,the man was an animal.,like you say responsible for the deaths of millions all over the World,just as bad as any Nazi war criminal.
The whole phenomenon of “Kissinger” — presented as the face of geopolitical wisdom — illustrates the malaise of the West.
Kissinger, Albright, Soros – so much evil.
One could argue that Kissinger had a lot of growing up to do, and maybe he is still growing.
“Far too often the Ukrainian issue is posed as a showdown: whether Ukraine joins the East or the West. But if Ukraine is to survive and thrive, it must not be either side’s outpost against the other — it should function as a bridge between them. Russia must accept that to try to force Ukraine into a satellite status, and thereby move Russia’s borders again, would doom Moscow to repeat its history of self-fulfilling cycles of reciprocal pressures with Europe and the United States. The West must understand that, to Russia, Ukraine can never be just a foreign country. Russian history began in what was called Kievan-Rus. The Russian religion spread from there. Ukraine has been part of Russia for centuries, and their histories were intertwined before then.”
“To settle the Ukraine crisis, start at the end”, Washington Post, March 5, 2014.
“Crimea is a special case. Ukraine was part of Russia for a long time. You can’t accept the principle that any country can just change the borders and take a province of another country. But if the West is honest with itself, it has to admit that there were mistakes on its side. The annexation of Crimea was not a move toward global conquest. It was not Hitler moving into Czechoslovakia… Europe and America did not understand the impact of these events, starting with the negotiations about Ukraine’s economic relations with the European Union and culminating in the demonstrations in Kiev. All these, and their impact, should have been the subject of a dialogue with Russia.”
As quoted in Chomsky And Kissinger Agree: Avoid Historic Tragedy In Ukraine, by Kevin Zeese, MintPress News, February 4, 2015
“George left us at a moment when our national arguments are too often vindicated by passion rather than reason, by the debasement of the adversary rather than the uplifting of purposes. He also believed that if you were blessed with great gifts, you had a responsibility to apply yourself, and if you cared about your country, you had a duty to defend and improve it. He was skilled in presenting his convictions, but above all practiced the art of making controversy superfluous by encouraging mutual respect. Trust, George used to say, is the coin of the realm.”
George Shultz Had a Wise and Discerning Heart, by Henry A. Kissinger, The Wall Street Journal, February 10, 2021
“Negotiations need to begin in the next two months … before it creates upheavals and tensions that will not be easily overcome. Ideally, the dividing line should be a return to the status quo ante. Pursuing the war beyond that point would turn it into a war not be about the freedom of Ukraine … but a new war against Russia itself. … Parties should be brought to peace talks within the next two months. Ukraine should’ve been a bridge between Europe and Russia, but now, as the relationships are reshaped, we may enter a space where the dividing line is redrawn and Russia is entirely isolated. … We are facing a situation now where Russia could alienate itself completely from Europe and seek a permanent alliance elsewhere. This may lead to Cold War-like diplomatic distances, which will set us back decades. We should strive for long-term peace…”

People can learn
i think neocons will keep pushing the russian bear and chinese dragon until 6 out of 7 of their aircraft carriers mysterious sink
Humanity needs to wake up and recognize the enslavement the Neocons dream of for humanity.
Globalization willcome. That is inevitable. But it must arise organically through the volition of individual nations and polities, not imposed from the outside through the force of a cadre of insane oligarchs.
Now Andrei, don’t hold back, tell them what you think. Love this guy, I’ve learned a lot from him, even stuff I never considered and can adapt to my own life situations.
There are many of us in the USA that believe the current administration is trying to commit a national suicide and take down the entire EU with it. The insanity of such a thing is enormous, however the Build Back Better agenda suggest such a thing. In addition the National Debt of over $30 Trillion can’t be paid, some have said it’s closer to $50 Trillion. If it’s true it’s more understandable of why the USA has pushed the two nuclear powers of China and Russia into a war footing.
“The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer.”
— Henry Kissinger
His legacy is millions of civilians killed in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. That he now speaks some truth about power does not absolve him of his horrific crimes.
Remind me please why was Vietnam invaded
The US invasion of Vietnam was to defeat communism, and was also a proxy war with China and Russia,
Makes me sick these war criminals generally live to ripe old ages, on the other hand if they have any remorse at all for their crimes against humanity, the longer they live, the longer they live with their crimes.
Kissinger is no different to Albright.
They both belong to the same tribe.
Love Andreis humor. It’s like standup comedy based on pointing out the real reality.
Emmett, $50 Trillion is chump-change, US unfunded & underfunded liabilities are between $300-350 trillion.
Once the $$$$$ hegemony ceases (well on its way ) then it’s curtains, hence the constant warmongering and genocide. You should be aware of the 9/11 false flag and the team of auditors eliminated whilst auditing the Pentagon.
Saddam looked to the Euro, Gaddafi, a gold dinar, both executed, countries destroyed.
Hence the seething hatred toward Russia, the biggest threat to their fiat ponzi scheme’s existence.
Is everyone in the US blind & stupid or maybe just too frightened to rock the boat for fear of reprisal.
Thank you for the enlightenment, most Americans in the USA are looking for a hero that has the backbone to take on a corrupt and unpopular government. Any and all volunteers may apply.

@ A. Martyanov
Thanks, as always, for your insights into subjects that require your expertise to be understood.
I was certainly flabbergasted by your description of contusion/concussion/PTSD among participant mercenaries. I keep on watching videos of the war in Ukraine, some showing the VSUshniky cowering down in badly made trenches, weathering the storm raining over them 24/7, without realizing the terrible effect of the shelling on these poor men sent to die as cannon fodder by the nazi Kiev regime.
“Liquified brain”? What a concept. First time I see PTSD for what it is. It is not a psychological issue, it is physical damage of the brain and its function.
And thank you for showing us, based on facts, the inability/incapacity of the US to fight a war against Russia at the current juncture. The US views of war are Hollywoodesque, and as you well point out, war for them is killing brown people armed with AK-47’s, RPG-2 or 7, and ATGMs at the most. They have never faced a killing machine such as Russia in their entire history.
This is the first time in their short history the US is looking into the abyss.
And they are scared.
They don’t really know quite what to do with Russia, hence their piling up weapons on Ukraine, the only avenue they have to confront Russia.
Lone Wolf
I read your book back in 2018. It really opened my eyes to the importance of understanding war capabilities. Your insights about the American character are mostly spot on. I recently discovered that you were a regular contributor on the Saker. I’m so pleased to have access your analysis about current events.
Building on something Andrei had said before.Here is a report on how important the drones Russia has got from China have been to this operation so far. I think this SMO is going to lead to a further development in Russia’s war fighting ability:
So, simple Chinese quadrocopters “make the weather” in Ukraine. What would Russia do without these Chinese toys? And without them, things in Ukraine would have reached the atomic bomb. Although, it is not yet evening and the West has not said its last word.
Former Chief of the Russian General Staff, General Baluyevsky:
Simple Chinese-made commercial quadrocopters have made a real revolution in the use of traditional cannon and rocket artillery, almost completely solving the age-old problem of reconnaissance, target designation and artillery fire adjustment for it. When adjusted with the help of a drone constantly hovering over the target area, it became possible to use artillery with conventional projectiles with accuracy and efficiency comparable to firing precision-guided munitions. As one of the observers rightly put it, the Mavic quadrocopter of the Chinese company DJI has become a true symbol of modern warfare in principle.

“Kissinger explains how the world was brought to ‘the edge of war'”
“A lack of visionary leadership is to blame, the veteran statesman says”
Wall Street Journal
“he has to understand …”
Andrei Martyanov
Kissinger claims he was not the designated ‘visionary’. So what was he supposed to be? They said he was the smart guy. They now say he was “the veteran statesman”. Note : they do not say he was ‘visionary’; they say he was a ‘veteran’ … a has-been. Did he find his various positions as ‘free prizes’ in breakfast cereal boxes?
Surely, whatever his learning and reputation, he understood, long before anybody read his name in a newspaper op-ed, that leaders are regularly cursed with lack of vision. As are advisors, and self-proclaimed visionaries.
He cannot wash his hands. The Wall Street Journal cannot wash them either.
I will try to give some context and color to a painful topic.
Concussive brain injury is unfortunately quite common. Much current research and advances were driven by sports head injuries (think contained concussions in contact sports like American Football). This is a simple layman’s explanation of the coup-countracoup mechanism of injury. Imagine the shock from a shell shaking the person with the same effect as banging a head against the wall, windshield, or opposing player’s body.. Multiple sequelae can manifest years later.. they are truly the walking wounded, eventhough superficially they may not have a visible scratch..
The history of obfuscation and negligence is at least a century old. Bernays’ diabolical uncle Freud played his part, popularizing it as due to psychiatric disturbances (it must have played to Generals’ egos – “Cowardice!”) The system then tended to focus on symptom amelioration, via drugs and “re-education,” rather than complete prevention (the ONLY real solution) by stopping the wars of aggression. Veterans in USA were ignored for generations. Even the terminology was incrementally downgraded from “Shellshock” (ww1) to postconcussional syndrome (ww2) to the current anodyne Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and “Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI),” which are the latest weasel terms to hide the true life-altering condition. And to make it difficult for the old surviving generations of canon-fodder to impart lessons to the current generation of canon-fodder.
Fortunately lucrative lawsuits and popular awareness from the NFL and college sports, etc.. sensitized and incentivized the Veterans Administration (VA) to treat the issue more honestly. As part of my training I saw patients from the Iraq/Afghan wars in the VA system and elsewhere.. some were clearly destroyed, having left their minds and parts of their souls in the ME. Where is the accountability for generational warmongers like Kissinger, who only know how to escalate (My Way or the Highway, like a toddler)?! It is down to a nuclear gun now.
It also informs ever increasing hesitance to use troops against foes who can throw industrial warfare-level artillery and missile fire (think Trumps’ “headaches” at certain Iraqi bases in January 2020..) In addition to “if I can see you, I can kill you,” if you need to deploy against these peers or near-peers, you are guaranteed of receiving back damaged goods. So the current cabal of aggressor planners are in zugzwang. The only issue is the degree of the loss they will sustain. No more turkey shoots or free lunches.
And the word will get back too, as Smoothie highlights, which will dampen future recruitment and disincentivize morale. And the compliance of existing volunteer force to cripple themselves when so ordered. Will fragging be back in vogue? Who will serve as the needed Azov-type political commissars holding that gun in the rear? So conventional capabilities will further be attrited.. And as Smoothie smirked wisely, a draft is impossible, not feasible under current conditions of political delegitimization, division, mass harmed health, inability to cross the Atlantic pond unmolested, etc etc. Let’s hope they are reduced to howling impotently at the moon!

I have to run to the Farmer’s Market, but I will address your excellent post on my return.
In fact, I just told my wife, an alternative medicine practitioner who gets many referrals from the VA, and deals with so-called PTSD issues day in and day out, to watch the part of Martyanov’s video dealing with PTSD (she’s not interested in the war), and to read your post and the multiple links you provide.

With all due respect, show some respect for Dr. Henry Kissinger, appointed Honorary Knight Commander in the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George (KCMG). Here is a list of KCMG’s :
Her Majesty’s grand knights of treachery
https://larouchepub.com/eiw/public/1999/eirv26n17-19990423/eirv26n17-19990423_029-her_majestys_grand_knights_of_tr.pdf
Sir Henry said openly at least 2 times he always served the British Crown, in 4 US Administrations.
When he speaks at Davos, whom Klaus Schwab proudly claims as his mentor, for an end to the Ukraine war, that is a message from the Empire. Looks like BoJo did not get the memo.
Unfortunately the Queen recently awarded the single most disliked Englishman, Tony Blair, a Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, the highest imperial honor.
There is a petition with more than a million signatures to revoke it at :
https://www.change.org/p/the-prime-minister-tony-blair-to-have-his-knight-companion-of-the-most-noble-order-of-the-garter-rescinded
These 2 definitely have a rap-sheet the length of their capes. Both proclaimed the end of the Westphalia Epoch.
And the 1970’s 400% oil price shock, see Engdahl’s A Century of War, set in motion by Sir Henry Kissinger et al, sure looks like a template for today’s shock.
It does seem there may be an American blind-spot, and a Russian blind-spot for Imperial shenanigans!
@ bonbon
Yes we should all show Dr Kissinger some respect… like Caitlin does on her blog. The level of self control is amazing. I am sure she really wanted to let rip.
..”I don’t know about you, but to me this warning is much, much more ominous coming from a bloodsoaked swamp monster than it would be from some anti-imperialist peace activist who was speaking from outside the belly of the imperial machine. This man is a literal war criminal who, as a leading empire manager, helped to unleash unfathomable horrors all around the world the consequences of which are still being felt today.
And as far as you can tell from his own comments, he remains completely unreformed.

“You don’t know.”
Guess the closet as subliminal troll got to be too small, needed to come out. Only open trolls start a rebuttal with “You don’t know,” when they don’t know what others know, or “You’re wrong,” and then get to show how wrong they are.
“Have you been in Chile or South America?”
For your chagrin, more than once, to both Chile and Argentina, traveled to the Patagonia, explored Chile in extenso, more than Argentina.
I count several Chileans and Argentinians as my best friends.

I am sure Putin would be nauseated at such an analogy, a byproduct of historical and geopolitical ignorance, and would consider it a total aberration.
Under Pinochet, there was great economic progress in Chile…”
Yeah, for the Chileans left alive, not in prison, disappeared, or in exile, partners in crime to Pinochet in one of the most blatant and egregious political crimes in the last century, sure there was “progress.”
There is a film, forgot the name, depicting the business Argentinian or Chilean military, (could be either country, they were all the same) set up with all the items taken from the houses of those they killed/arrested/disappeared.
The military in those countries were petty thieves, CIA coup d’etat were the golden opportunity they look forward to in order to enrich themselves and their military mafia.
It makes total sense for a not-so subliminal troll to be a hard core supporter of psychopath Pinochet.
A perfect match.

Pincochet was a line officer told by the CIA to take over because Allende had got out of control and even many Chile trade unions and others domestically wanted him out for various reasons.
US & the West did not want a Sth American country aligned with USSR at the time but it was also about monetary control of Chile’s resources. Mainly about money.
Chile under P saw a serious breach human rights but worse was in Argentina in the 70s & 80s.
But now both have emerged in a stronger eco position.
Some content removed – mod. Folks, please, don’t make personal attacks. Let’s stay with well-reasoned arguments. Thank you for your understanding.
Pinochet stopped Allende from turning Chile into a second Cuba, so the typical progressive leftist is not going to like him. Later, Allende, with Castro’s advice, would have done the same to Pinochet before expropriating the masses like Castro and Lenin did. Does Putin, who has criticized Lenin’s utopian actions, respect how Pinochet saved Chile from a Bolshevik-type fate? I think so, why wouldn’t he?
Why bother with these types of right wing south American mercenaries who condone thousands tortured and killed even priests.
In Chile all through SA mother’s protest the loss or deaths of their family. These SA butchers pale in comparison to Kissinger, Albright and the rest of the Zionists , who led these butchers in a quest for world domination.
Now it is time for them to fight real wars and get blown to hell . One day, south America will rid themselves of some commenters here. Their home is in segregated USA.
Adding to what Bonbon wrote about Kissingers British link, the americans4innovation writes that he was recruited in the 1940s already.

This infidelity to the usg was no violation of the aims of the Pilgrim Society. Kissinger being just one of several agents of influence. They aimed to take control of the media and the state department and judging from FDRs account he felt like his government was like the British Foreign Office and that played a role when the Pearl Harbour attack took place and when the most critical japanese decrypted telegram was withheld by Churchill.

As regards tranquilocomp, et.al.
Is this a private fight or can anyone join in?
All I want is to remind us all about Operation Condor
I was unable to remain an uninvolved party when I saw someone chime in about Franco
I guess it is better that fascists come out in the open; as Andrei reminds us, ” If I can see you, I can kill you”
I recall the many times on “Weekend Update” when we would solemnly be told, “And in other news, Generalissimo Francisco Franco continues to valiantly fight to remain dead.”
I’ll leave you all to it with the words of that beautiful soul we know as Kurt Vonnegut
“…..and so it goes”

Kissinger and Soros were EU crypto jews sent over to US in 1950s to steer and control US Deep State Administration (both GOP & DEM) the way the EU elites wanted.
Kissinger was the up front govt man and Soros the behind the scenes money bagman.
Both working together. Both facilitating both international and domestic terrorism in one form or another.
And both rigging politics and financial markets.
In doing this (visibly starting with Nixon, but also under LBJ) they perverted US policy away from what the American people would have otherwise wanted and done.
They have always been 5th columnist enemy agents in the US, along with a lot of their underlings.
After 60 years of them behind scenes is it any wonder the US is in the mess its in now ?
You would have to wonder why Nixon would have put guy like Kissinger in his cabinet to start with.
It surprised many people in the US & DC. The Middle East situation 1967-73 has a bit to do with it but larger issues existed.
Neither of these men have worked in the US peoples interests, and it will be a wonderful day when both of them are gone.
I seem to remember reading that Nixon’s political career began with his response to a classified ad put out by Prescott Bush — not sure where, Perhaps Russ Baker’s Family of Secrets. Nixon along with GHWB was in Dallas the day Kennedy was assassinated –grooming process? Nixon was chosen for the role of president until Watergate removed him; Kissinger seems to be part of the team that chose him. Not sure on the details so much as the the larger picture.

Guess I touched a nerve, eh? Sorry.
Probably part of the liberal psychopaths crowd and/or henchmen of the Empire of Lies, all hard-core supporters of Pinochet.

On Chile’s Allende, see Sir Henry Kissinger’s Dear Bill letter hoping to get rid of Allende.
Soon acted upon, the Chicago Boys of Schulz et. el. put Pinochet, radical Milton Friedmanite, into power.
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher singly invited Pinochet to tea, even when the rest of the world smelt a rat.
You know, that Dame Thatcher of Malvinas, the colonial war on Argentina?
Pinochet knew his Tea Party!

@ Rubicon on August 14, 2022 · at 4:00 pm EST/EDT
Perfectly stated, Lone Wolf
And, to think that Kissinger enticed many other “political leaders” in Latin America, parts of Asia, to apply the same brutality against their people.
Hi Rubicon, I was about to post you.
You hit the hornet’s nest with your post at the top.
I had no idea there were so many Pinochet supporters around, this late and age.
Amazing.
This is part of the serious regression into nazi-fascist ideologies many societies are falling into, Ukraine one among many.
Your post framed the debate down the thread. It was a crucial point to make.
Cheers,

Dear Lone Wolf, think about Mr. Putin in Chechenia.
What about Mr. Putin in Chechnya?
How many children were killed by the taqfiri Chechen inflicting terror on innocent people, attacking schools and hospitals?
Was Salvador Allende killing anyone? Killing innocent mothers and children?
There is no comparison between Chile under terrorist Pinochet and Putin in Chechnya, even when supporters of Pinochet are trying to push an analogy that has no historical basis.
Putin was forced to defend not only Russia but the Chechen people from the taqfiri hordes, similar to what he’s doing now in Ukraine.
And look at what Chechnya is now. No comparison to what it was before. Once terrorists were eliminated, Chechnya has grown exponentially.
They are now helping their brothers in Ukraine to free themselves from another terror group, the Ukronazis.
Stop trying to equate Putin with Pinochet.
It is a historical aberration.
Lone Wolf
Was Salvador Allende killing anyone? Killing innocent mothers and children?
The answer to that is an unequivocal YES… my Chilean wife’s aunt and her husband.
As others have alluded to but you are still to comprehend, Kissinger as a good Jew, doesn’t give a shit about political ideology!
Chuikov, Mamayev Kurgan. You want PTSD you got it mother-hubbard, times 20.
This one seems too easy to over analyze. The guy who largely influenced all the destruction and profit for empire over 5? decades sees the current ‘plan’ as a mistake!
Who else of any stature has admitted that the US provoked the Ukraine SMO from Russia, this lends credibility to all he says after that admission. Stature means a personality who is generally uncensored by the MSM, are they publicizing Kissi’s latest? My guess, no.
Surely he would agree with many of the goals of this fool’s errand, so it is from a position of knowledge about how far off their capabilities are from what is needed, that gives him pause.
China and Russia at the same time, while hoping Iran and others stay out of it? While blue and red are lined up for civil war? Seems to me WW3 could have way more friendly fire incidents than in the past. Today national guard troops from Calif and Fla accidently exchanged mortal exchanges of artillery fire. Oops
I think further problems could crop up from having 500+ bases around the world. How hard to do like they did in the SMO, skip all the well dug in spots and go after a few low hanging fruits. Guarantee that dark day will not be honestly reported. Johnny won’t come marching home again! Hurrah
It would be nice to have an early warning system composed of 1st hand reports when the elite start filling their hidey holes. I like Meryl Nass for an interesting perspective on bio-warfare. Wonder how up to date Henry is on that portfolio? Dr. Nass testified before congress so what would she know?
President Putin is a true stateman.
In the West with very few exceptions we are ruled by idiots, total imbeciles.
We should be making friends with Russia (China, Iran, NK etc.) not constantly looking to make war through our constant and ridiculous propaganda and baseless accusations.
The whole Ukraine debacle could have been resolved years ago if the West/NATO/Ukraine tyrannical leadership had invoked the Minsk agreements and cleaned out the Nazi brigades.
Many people in the “West” realise this is not a Russian invasion, but is a defensive move to stop the victimisation and killing of cultural Russians in the Donbass regions.
