Why do places like 4chan, specifically /pol/ but other boards

He was the architect of the "America as world police" style of governance that many people nowadays do not like

But that does more to stabilize the world than anything, right?

I get why a nationalist wouldn't like that, because it leads to a drain on resources. But that has also led to a age of unchecked prosperity in the world, and one of the few times where every country is developing further and further, excluding ones that try to stay distant from the U.S. such as Russia/North Korea

Kissinger pretended to be a lot smarter than he was. Many of the policies he implemented saw America's reputation dragged through the mud, its military eroded as a capable fighting force, and the spread of anti american feeling in Latin America as well as the spread of communism in south east asia.

Aside from that, he was great.

Because he fucked up, a lot.

He did things that both sides in today's political climate hate. The left hates him because of his handling of Latin and South America, ambivalence to human rights, and sticking our noses into everything. Today's right hates him because he is rightfully seen as a globalist who, in overlap with the left, helped expand US influence abroad to the point where we are overwhelmed today.

Henry Kissinger will be remembered in history as one of the best diplomatic players of the 20th Century.
