See but Kissinger felt like a worthy adversary. A cold, calculating man who you could despise but also know he was smart and crucial in shepherding the empire.
Bolton is a raving lunatic who just wants to bomb Iran and will settle for any point on the map remotely close to it. He didn't earn shit, he made his name during Bush 2 when America had no powerful adversaries. He didn't mastermind shit, he just got to ride with the new cabal in power.
Dick Cheney is my generation's Kissinger. Dick Cheney is who we direct all our hexes and curses towards. And unlike Kissinger, Cheney made sure to get paid handsomely for his tenure as evil advisor to the emperor.
