Parallax Views w/ J.G. MichaelTwo Perspectives on Henry Kissinger w/ Michael Desch and Tim Shorrock
On this edition of the Parallax, we go over the life and career of controversial diplomat Henry Kissinger, who passed away at the age of 100 on November 29th, 2023.

Namely, many left-wing activist and commentators, including, most famously, the late Christopher Hitchens, have argued Kissinger was a war criminal.
