Or do you just disagree with his methods?
What do you mean with "just"? The methods employed to reach a goal can have downsides (side effects) that dwarf the benefits of reaching the goal.
- angersock 10y agoI agree with your point here, but you need to go into it further. What do you think his goals were? What were the side-effects of his methods? How did the latter detract from the former? For example, if the goal is American hegemony, and only foreign losses were realized in pursuit of that goal, then it's a clear victory from a policy standpoint. Morality doesn't enter into it.

- angersock 10y agoIt's subjective and doesn't translate across cultures. Not a useful metric unless you're just making opinionated speech.

- angersock 10y agoSure, sure, Kissenger is a Nazi. Everyone wants to clutch pearls here, and to do so without supporting their positions. This place has gone to shit.
