      Nixon also said” In developing a policy toward the new Russia, we must begin by recognizing that the Russians did not lose the Cold War. The communists did. We should therefore treat the Russians not as defeated enemies but as allies who joined with us in defeating Soviet communism in its heartland-Russia.”
      The USA did not treat Russia like this they treated them as losers of cold war. Ask Dr Jeffrey Sachs economic advisor to Bush Sr, sachs wanted to give russia the same loan USA gave to Poland but bush sr administration laughed at him and said” we won the cold war they lost let the Russians be on its knees and let them figure it out themselves “ congratulations enter Vladimirovich Putin

Nixon, as a Republican (ie. realist) knew that we didn’t then, and we still don’t now. You can’t support your own people, and foreign wars, and illegal immigrants, and college debt relief all at the same time. Dems need to get their priorities in order. Because no matter what Biden seems to think, that money has to actually come from somewhere.

      Watergate is a very interesting deep dive. The Father of a friend very high up in one of the political parties told me Watergate was about the JFK Assassination and keeping a lid on the truth. Some of the perps were in JFK's own Party, one was not but went on to become President of the United States itself. Although Nixon was not a conspirator or participant in the Assassination, he had the inside savy and knowledge and could name names. In fact. Nixon was in Dallas at the time of the Assassination. He denied it for years but eventually it was revealed he had attended a Pepsi board meeting in Dallas during that time period. I believe that during his stay there he may have made overtures in an effort to stop it but was unsuccessful. The wheels were too far in motion. The Watergate safe contained photos which incriminated some that were involved. Nixon felt that as we were trying to win the Cold War, if the truth got out that our own CIA and their confederates had killed a U.S. President, it would irreversibly damage our credibility worldwide and perhaps even cause us the loss of allies in the Cold War. Hunt was blackmailing Nixon over it. Hunt's wife Dorothy went down in a plane crash with a suitcase full of cash. An on site supervisor in Dealey Plaza who went on to become President, according to visitors logs, visited the White House 180 times during Watergate. In retrospect, I think Nixon would have been better off to let the truth get out. But even then he might have been assassinated himself. And the CIA would have controlled the narrative rather quickly. Nixon would be just another name on the hit list. JFK, RFK, MLK, and then RMN. I think he knew that.

      This guy lied to the American public and to the world in order to get the US in an atrocious and failed war in Vietnam, in which he used biological warfare, and carpet bomb Cambodia. He also got impeached for spying on the opposition through the state apparatus, he pegged all international trade to the US dollar, which has tied many poor countries in a forever losing trade war, and he created the War on Drugs, which has killed and jailed dozens of millions of people n his country and across the world while destabilizing entire regions and communities. Stop romanticizing the past and dead people.

      Amen brother, amen. FINALLY when someone talks about how good it was in the 'old days' there is some truth to it. We need more statesmen from the old days... Reagan anyone? He had always been my favorite President.

      Well, 9/11 inside job followed by 5 countries receiving "freedom and democracy" in 7 years isn't really nice, is it? And on China and Russia, the west was naive enough to believe that a built up China would be thankful, on the contrary, they're an enemy now for good reason. Russia..well, actual peace and freedom without bombs, evil plans and deception would work (not really) but then again, someone had to cash in on those securities that skipped audit on 10/11/01 and the 2.3trillion dollars missing mentioned before 9/11.

    It is a shame he let bad decisions bring him down. I think he was one of our best politicians in his understanding of foreign affairs!
