Kissinger at 100: New war crimes revealed in secret Buddhist Cambodia bombing campaign that set the stage for our "Forever Wars"

(Democracy Now!) May 24, 2023. Latest Shows. A bombshell new investigation from The Intercept reveals that former U.S. National Security Adviser and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was responsible for even more innocent civilian deaths during the U.S. War in Cambodia (and War on Vietnam) than was previously known.

The revelations add to Kissinger's violent résumé that ranges from Latin America to Southeast Asia, where Kissinger presided over brutal U.S. military attacks, incursions, and interventions to put down a "communist revolt" and to develop U.S. influence around the world.

While survivors and family members of these deadly campaigns continue to grieve, American warmonger Kissinger celebrates his 100th birthday this week.

“This adds to the list of killings and crimes that Henry Kissinger should, even at this very late date in his life, be asked to answer for,” says The Intercept’s Nick Turse, author of the new investigation, “Kissinger’s Killing Fields.”

Democracy Now! also speaks with Yale University’s Greg Grandin, author of Kissinger’s Shadow: The Long Reach of America’s Most Controversial Statesman.
