    Saddest part is that he gets to die living a long, comfortable life after making his mark upon the world, meaning he gets to die happy.

      The world order that he helped to create has spent the last few decades crumbling, so perhaps he wasn’t as happy as you might think. I can only hope.

        Yeah, probably the most upsetting thing for people like him is China’s dominance.

        They really envisioned a world where the United States’ ruling class says ‘jump’ and everyone else asks ‘how high?’

      Or if you take a Buddhist view he died the most miserable and painful death because he finally realized what an evil shit he was.

        I don’t think you understand the psychology of sociopaths like him. They care neither for anyone’s suffering nor for anyone’s opinion about them. They care only for the pleasure they derive from the pain they inflict. He probably spent his last waking hours reminiscing over the glory days of the massacres he started.
