Amateurs talk about Kissinger like he's the be all, end all of American War Criminals, but real ones know that when it comes to the title of GOAT, he's barely even in the conversation. Honest Abe, however? Definitely in the running.
Forget about sheer numbers of victims - the critical distinction between them is that Kissinger’s “war crimes” were (nearly) all against foreigners on behalf of the American people, whereas the victims of all of Lincoln’s crimes WERE the American people. That already tells you everything about that particular comparison.
Nice post and thanks for the link, looking forward to reading these. One minor point -- I'm at https://substack.com/@neofeudalism . I had the moniker you linked to awhile back but forgot the username and password and it just kind of lingers there in the nether, no posts attached to it...
