Ambiguous phrasing
editThe article states
- Kissinger told Nixon that Bush was "too soft and not sophisticated" enough to properly represent the United States at the United Nations and expressed no anger when the United Nations General Assembly voted to expel Taiwan and give China's seat on the United Nations Security Council to the People's Republic.[66]
It is not clear who expressed no anger. AxelBoldt (talk) 09:54, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Bush, expressed no anger, from the way it’s written. Ahclarice (talk) 16:38, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
His tenure as Secretary of State should have its own article
editIn the same way Clinton and Rice have their own articles for their time as Secretary of State, Kissinger for his significant impact on foreign affairs definitely deserves its own article. Vinnylospo (talk) 06:23, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

edit@Neveselbert, why did you revert my change to the lead? Your edit summary was "discuss on talk" and then you never said anything on the talk page. Loki (talk) 05:22, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- See WP:BRD. The lead has been stable for months now, and I don't see what was wrong it previously. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 19:06, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
