Fair play. 3 Rex II ForSure Rex II ForSure 2 days ago (edited) Some perspective here on how long Henry Kissinger has lived: he’s old enough to remember the 1929 stock market crash. He’s lived during the time of 18 US Presidents. And if they where still alive…Eddie Van Halen would be 32 years younger than Kissinger, Johnny Cash would be 9 years younger than Kissinger, and Paul Newman would be 2 years younger than him 36 Will robinson Will robinson 1 day ago Nobody paid any attention to his book does US need a foreign policy...
