Deceased celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain hated Kissinger specifically for his role in expanding the Vietnam war into Cambodia where it estimated that more than 150,000 people died as a result of Nixon and Kissinger’s highly illegal bombing campaign:

Huffington Post

“SPEAKING ABOUT HIS CULINARY EXPLORATIONS AROUND THE WORLD IN “A COOK’S TOUR: IN SEARCH OF THE PERFECT MEAL,” PUBLISHED AFTER HIS DEATH IN 2018, BOURDAIN SAID THAT “YOU’LL NEVER STOP WANTING TO BEAT HENRY KISSINGER TO DEATH WITH YOUR BARE HANDS” AFTER VISITING CAMBODIA, REFERRING TO ONE OF KISSINGER’S MOST HEINOUS ACTS, THE APPROVAL OF A SECRET WAR BEYOND THE BORDERS OF VIETNAM. IT WAS ONE OF MANY ACTIONS HE PROMOTED DURING HIS EIGHT YEARS AS SECRETARY OF STATE UNDER FORMER PRESIDENTS RICHARD NIXON AND GERALD FORD THAT ARE NOW CONSIDERED SHAMEFUL CHAPTERS IN U.S. FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

IN 1969, KISSINGER ORDERED THE CLANDESTINE CARPET-BOMBING OF CAMBODIA AND LAOS. FOR FOUR YEARS, THE U.S. DROPPED 540,000 BOMBS, SLAUGHTERING 150,000 TO 500,000 CAMBODIAN CIVILIANS.
“YOU WILL NEVER AGAIN BE ABLE TO OPEN A NEWSPAPER AND READ ABOUT THAT TREACHEROUS, PREVARICATING, MURDEROUS SCUMBAG SITTING DOWN FOR A NICE CHAT WITH CHARLIE ROSE OR ATTENDING SOME BLACK-TIE AFFAIR FOR A NEW GLOSSY MAGAZINE WITHOUT CHOKING,” BOURDAIN WROTE IN HIS BOOK.“

No matter which one of his notorious crime one examines the fact remains Kissinger was one of the biggest war criminals the U.S ever produced.

^It’s a shame Hitch was taken so early and Kissinger lived to be a centenarian.

I’m relistening to the Behind the Bastards series about Kissinger with Dave and Gareth from The Dollop. They make his horrible misdeeds hilarious.
