I just as soon Kissinger saw his 101st birthday. Really did not like his last few opinions about the world in the last year or so. Comments 1 thru 3; peanut gallery.

So the story about Kissinger's dating life is ...?


"I read the comments about Kissinger on Zero Hedge. Some were very witty."

I bet the witty comments by posters were put downs.

End of an Era?

So Kissinger was a mover and shaker in the Carter, Reagan, bush, Clinton, GWB, Obama and Trump administrations?

Maybe. Was he consulted often enough such that you could detect a change in diplomacy other than it would be otherwise? Did he have acolytes who operated like him. If they are still alive, have some influence in government and operate like him then the "era" would not be over now would it.

"Nope dope" I am so happy for you. You got something to rhyme. Did you get it from the same site where you get your homework done?
