Which evil president died this year? (self.asklemmy)

Earlier this year Lemmy celebrated the death of a president(or another very important person) who was known for enabling warcrimes in a war(I think it was either the Vietnam war or the Cambodia war) and therefore led to massive suffering. Sadly I forgot who it was. Does anyone of you know who I mean?

He wasn’t a president but Kissinger died and it was awesome.

I think it was very sad that Kissinger died... without being tried in the Hague.

[–] solrize@lemmy.world 21 points 22 hours ago

Kissinger died Nov 29, 2023 per web lookup. Maybe close enough? I'm sure there were some this year too. I just can't name any offhand.

May we all have the pleasure of shitting on his grave one day.

[–] cows_are_underrated 9 points 22 hours ago

That's exactly who I meant. Thanks.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago

Oh didn't know that!

One of the people who will sit in the lava besides hitler mao and stalin if you believe that stuff IMO.

[–] Kellamity@sh.itjust.works 26 points 23 hours ago

I think you mean Henry Kissinger

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 5 points 20 hours ago

None yet. But that just increases the odds one might. We got ten days left to the Gregorian year.

It's been years, but every time I think of Chirac dying, it feels recent. Probably due to how much he displeases me even posthumously. He was ten times worse than Kissinger.
