Henry Kissinger's Legacy in Foreign Policy

Henry Kissinger, a pivotal figure in foreign policy in the 1970s, passed away at the age of 100. His approach to foreign policy emphasized balancing power and achieving specific goals rather than adhering to idealistic principles. While his approach was often polarizing, many subsequent Secretaries of State have attempted to emulate his pragmatic approach. In today's world, where social media and immediate imagery play a significant role, the challenge lies in striking a balance between achieving goals and maintaining public sentiment.
