Henry Kissinger's the Great War
By October of 73, Kissinger is free and clear and ready to get it on in the Middle East. And this actually went better than you might think. Weirdly enough, Henry Kissinger was probably one of the fairest negotiators the United States ever sent into that conflict. In fact, he was more or less in constant tension with Israel because he would do stuff like try to halt arm shipments there. Like during the Amkippur War, right? They're in real danger of being overrun. But Kissinger's like, we're not giving them anything until they can arrange for commercial flights to ship the weapons to them.
