I don’t know whether you’ll even care, but it is always good to know what contemporaries of Kissinger think of him and his accomplishments, post mortem. Here’s Walter Russell Mead’s take:

I have no idea who Walter R. Mead is but I don’t buy his centrist bullshit attempt at trying to make Kissenger appear as a patriot.
Kissenger was evil personified and made his decisions based not on what was ‘best’ to create a prosperous outcome for the U.S. but on his schemes, supported by his ego.
He clearly made his presence known, and when the time conveniently came for him to slither into a position of strong influence and control he took advantage of it. There were likely other patriotic choices to fill the roles, but isn’t that ‘water under the bridge? Can’t say, “What IF _______ was appointed instead?”
The deep state was already powering up their plans of domination of the United States, with the Criminals In America already way past the line in the sand by assassinating John F. Kennedy, with G.H.W. Bush lurking in the shadows running the Clowns In American soil, which was supposed to be forbidden.
Maybe someday we’ll know just how precarious of a position we were in with Bush operating without any control and Kissengers’ scheming and influencing the people he knew were gullible.
There’s that ‘hindsight’ again.
It’s much more visible now. Hopefully we won’t repeat those mistakes.
Just my opinion.

Ah. As usual, such intellectually superior editorials (or columns) are above my head, my ability, to comprehend such adoration.
