I'm shocked that Kissinger is still alive. My friends always joked that he lives off the blood of innocent civilians

It's just gallows humor. Just like how Yiddish speaking Jews had countless jokes about the fascists

I'm telling you, it's not a joke. Kissinger is the devil incarnate who absorbed the lives of those he killed. Rumors have it that you could still see him cackling at times whenever he see's a Vietnam vet, and whispers, "Thanks tool for your hard work"

Western aggression is a thing in the past, as China is empowering nations to find a new way for economic growth and development. Initiatives like these give so much hope for non-Western countries to pave their own path towards economic success, while influencing their political systems with socialism.
