Daily Briefing: HENRY KISSINGER TURNS 100: HIS CONTROVERSIAL RECORD EXAMINED

A SON’S PRAISE

 My Father, Henry Kissinger, is Turning 100. This is his Guide to Longevity.:  David Kissinger,  Washington Post, May 25, 2023 On Saturday, my father, Henry Kissinger, celebrates his 100th birthday. This might have an air of inevitability for anyone familiar with his force of character and love of historical symbolism. Not only has he outlived most of his peers, eminent detractors and students, but he has also remained indefatigably active throughout his 90s.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, for example, complained, Behind all these geopolitical speculations of those who advise Ukraine to give away something to Russia, “great geopoliticians” are always unwilling to see ordinary people. Millions of those who actually live in the territory they propose to exchange for the illusion of peace. You must always see people.
