He was known for his practice of "realpolitik" — engaging with the world based on practical objectives rather than moral ideals — and was credited with the secret diplomacy that helped thaw U.S. relations with China. But he was also accused of alleged war crimes for the bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam War, backing Pakistan's genocide in Bangladesh, and green-lighting the Argentine dictatorship's "dirty war" against dissidents.

His death will not bring the thousands of families he's murdered.

I hope his death was painful.

It wasn't. The bastard got away with all of it. Not a single price did he pay. He lived a long and comfortable life with his ill-gotten gains, and finally faded away into oblivion. The end.
