This Grandin fellow is dumb with the stupidity of 20 total dumbos. He goes on and on and endlessly on, trying to prove his shocking discovery that. . . Nixon and Kissinger tailored foreign policy to suit domestic needs.
Of course, every elected politician does that. Even Putin, who’s not an elected politician, tries, first and foremost, to impress his citizenship and serve domestic needs with whatever he does internationally. And he doesn’t have to worry about getting reelected.
The rest of the book is toilet jokes, anti-Semitic barbs, and dumb, trivial statements by a very superficial fellow.

Grandin is just following the liberal party line on Kissenger — the sumless tale of historical misery in South America and the Middle East didn’t start until Kissinger became Nixon’s national security adviser in 1968.
For the record, Kissinger’s “co-religionists” (as he sometimes referred to the Israelis) didn’t particularly care for him, either. I remember an Israeli protester during the Yom Kippur War carrying a sign that read: “In Cairo, it’s KISSinger — in Tel Aviv, it’s KILLinger.” 🙂

Absolutely. It’s nothing but boring, reductive, childish rendering of a party line. Zero insight, zero analysis.
