Henry Kissinger
Henry Kissinger, a mastermind in shaping U.S. foreign policy, often favored alliances with dictatorships, inadvertently causing global harm and straining international relations. One Reddit user aptly points out that his decisions, while some regarded strategic genius, were also short-sighted, leading to long-term repercussions.
Kissinger’s reputation as a courageous strategist is paired with accusations of cold-hearted calculations. The debate around him is often politically charged, yet he still received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973, an accolade that sparked both surprise and controversy. His legacy is undeniably influential, sparking discussions about the ethical considerations of realpolitik and diplomatic maneuvering.
