This clip is part of our latest episode with the former Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad
After former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's recent death, the world is compelled to scrutinize the dark aspects of his legacy. As Nixon's national security advisor, Kissinger was not only known for his so-called "ultra-realist" approach to international politics but also for orchestrating policies with catastrophic consequences. While he is credited with the strategic pivot toward China, his methods included the ruthless carpet bombing of Laos and Cambodia, a failed strategy to gain concessions from North Vietnam that resulted in immense human suffering. The video critically examines Kissinger's dubious contributions, highlighting the moral compromises made in the pursuit of geopolitical objectives. The parallels drawn between historical events and the ongoing situation in Gaza shed light on a disturbing pattern of Western powers turning a blind eye to human rights abuses, raising pertinent questions about the ethics of Kissinger's foreign policy and its enduring impact on global geopolitics. Join us as we engage with Dr Mahathir Mohamad to delve deeper into this critical analysis, exploring the consequences of Kissinger's actions and their implications for the world today.
