Nah, he was the kind of old bastard that couldn't be happy even if he was on a direct serotonin injection
He probably died of his body finally going to war against itself out of the sheer old man spite we wish will go with the boomers as we joke about it all dying off.
Chef and author Anthony Bourdain wrote the following about Kissinger in his 2001 book A Cook's Tour:
"Once you've been to Cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia—the fruits of his genius for statesmanship—and you will never understand why he's not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević. While Henry continues to nibble nori rolls and remaki at A-list parties, Cambodia, the neutral nation he secretly and illegally bombed, invaded, undermined, and then threw to the dogs, is still trying to raise itself up on its one remaining leg."
Fairly sure he did some work at google with their ai team before he died so won’t be surprised if they implanted him in an ai surrogate so he can continue to cause suffering through our information networks. Kind of like a haunted internet
Kissinger would be the best possible test subject for a prototype tech lich.
They can transfer his undead consciousness into whatever tech abomination is supposed to upload people to immortality. Kissinger’s jet black soul will make the process seamless.
A well spoken man, who reached his boiling point with existence a fair bit to soon, always had a lot to say about Kissinger. An excerpt from a book "about" culinary tourism from Anthony Bourdain, if anyone wasn't aware...
Whoever it was that said they desperately hoped Jimmy Carter held on long enough for Kissinger to die first, I salute you. I truly didn't think it was possible after Rosalynn passed.
