Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger: A Legacy of Controversial Diplomacy

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has passed away at the age of 100, leaving behind a legacy of controversial diplomacy. Serving as America’s top diplomat and national security adviser during the Nixon and Ford administrations, Kissinger played a key role in shaping US foreign and security policy. While his achievements include diplomatic efforts with China, negotiating the end of the Yom Kippur War, and playing a role in ending the Vietnam War, he was also criticized for prioritizing rivalry with the Soviet Union over human rights and supporting repressive regimes. Kissinger’s death marks the end of an era in American diplomacy and raises questions about his impact on global politics.
