HELSINKI (AP) — Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has described President-elect Donald Trump as being a personality that has "no precedent in modern American history," but cautioned against judging him on his campaign rhetoric.

The Nobel Peace laureate says that before "postulating an inevitable crisis," the new administration should be given a chance to present its international policies, despite the "rhetorical elements ... (and) challenging patterns" presented during Trump's campaign.

Kissinger, who was awarded the 1973 peace prize, was speaking Sunday at the newly-established Nobel Peace Prize Forum Oslo.

He shared the award with Vietnamese politician and diplomat Le Duc Tho for their efforts in negotiating the Paris Peace Accords aimed at ending the Vietnam War. Tho, however, declined the award.

9. For what he did to Vietnam, actually.

(Still, it's like Colonel Sanders getting an award from PETA).

[jalan48]

11. Thanks. I was being facetious. Do you know where can I get the "sarcasm" thing?

[Ken Burch]

14. Just type the word "sarcasm" with a colon at the beginning and end.

I'll type it here, though, so you can copy it(I think they removed it from the "official" smilie list, for some reason)

[jalan48]

15. Thank you-

It works!

[magicarpet]

34. Oh ..... that is how you do it.....

Thank me you too....
No...
Thank you - me too.

32. My Human Rights Tour of Santiago Was Illuminating

As for Mr. Kissinger, I have toured the Human Rights history of Santiago Chile, the grave yards, the torture camps, the monuments and museums. There is more evidence of his handiwork in the Monument to the Disappeared in Buenos Aires and Montevideo. It is regrettable that he had friends in high places in our government. It looks like his evil influence will not end yet.

5. That war criminal can go fuck himself.

[Mc Mike]

7. Who cares what that swine thinks?

Here's something else he 'thought':

“I don’t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist because of the irresponsibility of its own people.”
—Henry Kissinger, June 27, 1970

But now that it's a repug prez elect in bed with Putin, the german gerbil has second thoughts.

[Ken Burch]

10. Unfortunately, he's still not dead(perhaps he's "undead") and he has Trump's ear.

So we HAVE to care.

Not that the rest of us like it anymore than YOU do.

[Mc Mike]

37. He's a transparent far right obfuscator, professional grade. nt

[lastlib]

28. Hey! Stop insulting swine like that!

So, Heinrich, it's okay to let a (OUR) country go *Fascist* "because of the irresponsibility of its own people"??!?

Hurry up and die, you f*ckstain war criminal!

[Mc Mike]

36. But the guy he wants us to 'give a chance' to is openly a flunky of commie Putin. nt.

[Lulu KC]

8. Shut up, Hank

I just saw his picture again yesterday shaking hands with Pinochet. He put blood on our hands. Blood of breaking hearts.

[NastyRiffraff]

12. Kissinger "cautioned against judging him on his campaign rhetoric"

I for one am not judging him only on his campaign rhetoric; I'm judging him on what he's doing NOW and what he says he'll be doing in the White House. This is a man who brags...brags....about not reading Presidential Daily Briefings, saying he doesn't need them because he's "smart."

No, I am not giving him the benefit of the doubt; I take him at his word. And his word spells disaster for this country and the world.

Go away, HK. Your time is long passed.

[ananda]

13. STFU Kissinger!

Boy are we being hounded into acceptance.

No!

Traitors should not be allowed near the White House
much less in it!

[INdemo]

16. Yes Thanks for your opinion you son-of-bitch

Because of You and pairing up with the Crook United States lost thousand of lies in Vietnam because you delayed the peace and cease fire talks so the fucking crook could wait until after the election to conduct peace talks.
Knowing that any peace agreement would probably help Humphrey.

So your opinion doesn't mean shit so jump on board with Trump and keep your fu*(Kg mouth shut

This is fact

33. You May Include my Brother in Law

You can include my brother in law among the lives lost while this cretin kept dining in Paris.

[dembotoz]

17. Wants patience cause he think Trump's policy will give him a woody

Without a little blue pill

[zonkers]

18. Good for Henry. Glad he can still get a hard on.

[sarcasmo]

19. F-you Kissinger.

[Ford_Prefect]

20. Oh Puleeeze! Like the Orange top dude's gonna wow us with more card tricks?

Magic would be a complete coherent thought typed or uttered in correct syntax.

[Thor_MN]

21. Yes, toddlers playing with firearms should be given a chance too...

[They_Live]

22. Shut up, Killer.

[cstanleytech]

23. I agree with Henry.

Democrats need to give the exact same level of respect and courtesy that the Republicans gave to Obama after he won the Presidency after Bush.

Edit: And I mean the exact same level

[milestogo]

24. As if he has anything to say that anyone wants to hear.

He should be awarded the "Death and War" prize.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

25. Fuck this lying senile warmonger!

[still_one]

26. The campaign is over kiss-face. This isn't just rhetoric. The people he has on his team

are evidence of that.

[Solly Mack]

27. My standard reply to all things Kissinger is "Fuck Kissinger"

That still applies.

[47of74]

29. Kissinger, go fornicate yourself in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

[turbinetree]

30. Hey Kissinger

how does it feel to have blood on your hands, while your fascist republican president was invading a country that was not at war with the US in Vietnam and didn't tell anyone, you know Cambodia, and then you get some Peace Prize, with 57,000 deaths.

And then you have the f***ing audacity to say give this serial predator a chance, did you forget to take your meds.
You do realize that Carl Icahn that wonderful self serving fascist republican hypocrite that went and robbed the Pension Fund at TWA has been the defacto human resource fascist that has been hiring the dumpsters underlings.

And do you realize that National Park Service gave the serial predator all of the permits for his f***ing serial predator show on 1/19/2017 right (standing there with the Chief Justice Racist Roberts swearing in a racist, with f***ing goofy smirk on his face), so if anyone wants to protest this ass**** you can't do it (there were over 60,000 at the pet goat inauguration and they were pelting him with eggs and things remember?), unless your from that fringe group called National Right to Life, yep, the same group that votes to send men into war (patriot thing to do), as cannon fodder, but when it comes to a woman's right to privacy, it doesn't mean a thing

SO in closing FU and the horse you road in on and crawl back under your rock

[Feeling the Bern]

31. Don't you have some Cambodians and Laotians to murder?

[SamKnause]

35. Fuck Kissinger !!!!

[heaven05]

38. fuck kissinger

[wordpix]

39. to think this assclown was awarded a peace prize after enlarging/perpetuating Vietnam War

ridiculous

[sdfernando]

40. Who cares what this warmonger asswipe has to say!

funny how he has been almost completely out of site for the past 8 years. No they trot the old bag out to try to normalize the cheeto hombre.

[SHRED]

43. His cabinet appointments and everything he's done since...

..."winning" are what we are judging him on also.

Try and keep up you old war criminal.

[adigal]

44. Wonder what the old bastard thinks of the Chinese fly-by

today?

And then that idiot Fiorina comes out from a meeting with Trump today and calls China an "adversary."

[BigDemVoter]

45. FUCK YOU HARD, KISSINGER.

That fossilized piece of fat shit. . . He's already done ENOUGH fucking damage in the world, and we were lucky to get his nasty countenance off our TV screens on a daily basis what--40+ years ago?

Kissinger should be deported to Chile to face charges for the war crimes HE fomented. And by the way, Chile isn't the only country that wants to get its hands on that old fascist.
