It’s rare that you find someone who seems to do evil for evil sake, especially for that long and that level.
There’s other people who are patently evil, but they at least tend to do it for money or power.
Kissinger didn’t, sure he did get money and power fueling the military industrial complex, but his actions reflect that for him, that was secondary.
His primary goal was creating misery.
Remember, this is a guy who escaped Nazi Germany in 1938 as a Jew, because of what Hitler was doing.
To then later pretty much state that if he hadn’t been born Jewish, he’d have been an antisemite.
