Henry Kissinger Arrives in Heaven

Text on the meme

Welcome to heaven, Henry Kissinger! What happened to the Vietnamese and the Cambodians that I have killed? burning in hell for being filthy Communists of course. Splendid.

What it means

Henry Kissinger arrives in heaven and asks what happened to the Vietnamese and Cambodians he killed. The other figures tell him they are burning in hell for being Communists, creating a darkly ironic joke because Kissinger is welcomed into heaven despite his role in wartime atrocities. This meme is used as a political reaction to criticize hypocrisy and the perceived impunity of powerful war criminals.
