Dude, do you know anything about Nixon and his backstabbing and lying? He intentionally sabotaged an early end to the Vietnam war in order to gain politician benefit during his run for presidency.
it's hard to take his words seriously after that "nixongate" non-lie. His approach to the problem is exactly what caused Soviets to behave the way they behaved. The US did it again in the 1990s in Serbia. So, tell me, how does demonstrating power to destroy lead the other side to want to "accept our views" ? It's happening again as these years and there's no peaceful solution to that problem
When Nixon was talking about Russia it was during the years of Communism and early years of Yeltsin, now it is different and not so simple yet easy to understand. Today's Russia is closer to the former traditions and culture before the USSR, Imperial Russia which was very Christian. Except most people don't like it when Christian values are enforced and would rather have what Harris/Biden stood for until they realize that Christian values are better, hence Trump being elected

It depends on your definition of "trusted." A politicians job is to work for the safety and benefit of his people. Most politicians to that. But, no one can be "fully" trusted. Why would you even suggest anything so unreal.
This framing of the question is either a manipulation or a logical error.

Hahah. This applies to each super power. Can USA or China or India be trusted if agreement is not in their best interests to adhere to? No shit. At least the guy answers questions directly which is refreshing. Absolute dominance is what each super power is aiming at. Chinese ideals are different from our ideals. Question remains whose system will prevail in the end. Centrally governed vs Decentralized Democratic System of Governance . USA is turning into a USSR with government growth and economic inequality giving rise to aristocratic oligarchy which ain’t good.
It's the same for any system and power. People in power are trying to avoid responsibility and expand their influence. Until they have a counterweight, they will strive to do this endlessly, using any methods.
Well I see Americans in the same way to be honest. And any other country as well. What he is saying is just the essence of a geopolitical realism and is the basis for good diplomacy in the world. So in a way he is correct.
Post Cold War, we didn't do anything with the atomic bomb towards the Soviet Union, we had a four-year window of opportunity between when we invented the atomic bomb and they got their own atomic bomb and we did nothing! So, it's hard to say the US started the Cold War, its more accurate to say we let it happen by doing nothing to prevent it, we just let the Soviet Union sit there occupying Eastern Europe and we did nothing to kick them out and then they got the atomic bomb themselves!
the US had a 25 year window, that's how long it would have taken the war torn post-WWII Soviet Union to develope and produce atomic weapons completely on their own. But the US administration under Roosevelt was so naive to not notice that Soviet spies were sitting right inside the Manhattan projet, especially Klaus Fuchs, but also Kim Philby and others. They should have excluded anybody from England in participating from the very beginning, all the stuff from the Tube alloy project was compromised. The movie Oppenheimer pretends that it was kind of unfair how Oppenheimer was treated, but the movie does not show how extremely important it was to keep those secrets and what unimaginable huge blow it was, when the Soviet Union detonated an exact copy of the American Little Boy in the steppes of Kazakhstan in 1949. Maybe Oppenheimer himself was in the end accused unjustified, but the project was completely infiltrated and he was the boss. So it was his responsability to clean house, which he didn't.
Geeez ppl... you are really ignorant about Russia. Your politicians are saints in comparison! 🙄 ...well, now you have MAGA. Those are like Russia, pathological liars.

@@lucasworktvThe US verbally promised Russia not to expand NATO in 1990 if Russia didn't stop German reunification, and then they expanded it up to Russia's border and then out long range missiles in Eastern Europe. Of course you could say it wasn't written down so it doesn't matter but the Russians aren't going to care about that. They feel that they have been betrayed.
@ you guys (you and the EU countries) talked about it over beers? Look, you’re wrong. The USA is obviously far from perfect, but the human rights records between the two countries are night and day. No one is here getting dragged to jail or pushed out a window for calling Joe Biden a clown.
@@cusematt23The formation of BRICS is explicit evidence to support his point. Countries outside of the EU, Canada, and Australia do not trust the US after watching it throw around its influence on international economy and finances for geopolitical goals. The US is the country which has invaded or bombed more countries than any other over the last century and it sanctions even NATO allies when they do something the US doesn’t like. The result is over a hundred nations coming together to devise and implement a new global economic and financial system which is not under the American thumb.
Former CIA Director Mike Pompeo admitted in 2019 that, in the coup-plotting spy agency, "We lied, we cheated, we stole. It was like, we had entire training courses".
He is criticizing the russians as if they have so many morals and ethical values. In fact, they have always been the most imperialist nation in the world since WWII
Interview focus was on the Soviets. Russians have simply returned to their imperialist traditions in our day. Most everything else from Nixon can be translated to our time as applying to the Red Chinese who are arguably more dangerous than the Soviets were with their soft imperialism, use of our freedoms Ms and institutions against us, ideological commitment etc.
His last comment is very telling. Mutual assured destruction has kept us from nuclear mayhem with Russia. Now go tell that to China and North Korea. Thanks for the remarkable clip!
That logic leads to thinking, that every nation should have a devastating arsenal of nuclear weapons to avoid wars with their neighbors or even current superpowers. That might even work.. 😱

Easy way to spy on the Soviets. Kruschev was no dummy. Francais Gary Powers proved that. One worse than the other. The only difference was America wasn't physically destroyed like Russia was after WW2 and could put resources into those operations.
As half russian, I can confirm that you only can half-trust me. ❤😂
Which half?
Everyone opposing supporting Ukraine should hear this conversation.
Amen.
So?😂
Literally the US provoked the war between Russia and Ukraine. I imagine the US wouldn't appreciate Mexico signing a military alliance with China and stationing Chinese military near Texas.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You know recent Ukrainian studies say 67% of Ukrainians want peace even at the price of territorial loss. So which Ukraine You want to support? The Most Corrupt Government in the World or US Venture Capital and MIC? 😂
Nixon well understood the state of the world and how to deal with USSR. He was a very wise leader!

Can we trust the Americans
@@cassandraguzman6638 not anymore
definetely no
Can we trust Mr Nixon after WATERGATE?
Cheating with drug money in Honduras and Nicaragua. Cheating in Panama. Cheating in Philippines. Even with Afghanistan and founding Al-Kaeda there… Should I go on?
Spot on!
Nixon is accurately describing the Soviet Union AND US Statecraft.

well, even today if I had to choose between US or Russia, I take US every time, we were once (well, actually twice) under Russians and no one wants to come back to those times
@Dread_2137 lol and what happened? Are you a balt? 😂

I asked the AI if Nixon could be trusted. Here's the conclusion: "Nixon's style of politics was marked by secrecy, manipulation, and a tendency to use unethical methods for political survival. While he had some successes, his tendency to deceive often damaged his credibility."
That is not a conclusion -- it is a brief.
The AI, that was created by left-leaning powers, and, in effect, produced pictures of British kings once requested as black, female (kings, mind you) and in a wheelchair? Yeah, sure, this AI is as trustworthy as the TikTok AI in Boox recently.

I could listen to him talk all day.
There’s almost 40 hours of these Nixon Gannon interviews on RUclips. I highly recommended them
Try to listen about WATERGATE. It will help you
Amen! A must watch for the "peace deal" people out there..
Richard Nixon; A priceless wellspring of knowledge and insight. Thank you RNF.
Hahah. This applies to each super power. Can USA or China or India be trusted if agreement is not in their best interests to adhere to? No shit. At least the guy answers questions directly which is refreshing. Absolute dominance is what each super power is aiming at. Chinese ideals are different from our ideals. Question remains whose system will prevail in the end. Centrally governed vs Decentralized Democratic System of Governance . USA is turning into a USSR with government growth and economic inequality giving rise to aristocratic oligarchy which ain’t good.
It's the same for any system and power. People in power are trying to avoid responsibility and expand their influence. Until they have a counterweight, they will strive to do this endlessly, using any methods.
Fascinating!!!
Well I see Americans in the same way to be honest. And any other country as well. What he is saying is just the essence of a geopolitical realism and is the basis for good diplomacy in the world. So in a way he is correct.
Nixon was absolutely on point here. Impressive!
@@piotrpp5478 he wasn’t

This is a very accurate assessment of how the Russian government actually thinks even at present time. The perfect president.
Nixon is the best! I am Ukrainian, who spent 1\3 of his life in the USSR. I assure you- every word in this video is true. My respect to mr President!
How the tides have turned.
Brilliant
Trust no one but understand and respect each other Red line
Red lines don’t exist, your attempt to spread Russian propaganda is pathetic. Brown lines are excessively brown these days…
That’s the correct answer.
Totally right.
Post Cold War, we didn't do anything with the atomic bomb towards the Soviet Union, we had a four-year window of opportunity between when we invented the atomic bomb and they got their own atomic bomb and we did nothing! So, it's hard to say the US started the Cold War, its more accurate to say we let it happen by doing nothing to prevent it, we just let the Soviet Union sit there occupying Eastern Europe and we did nothing to kick them out and then they got the atomic bomb themselves!
the US had a 25 year window, that's how long it would have taken the war torn post-WWII Soviet Union to develope and produce atomic weapons completely on their own. But the US administration under Roosevelt was so naive to not notice that Soviet spies were sitting right inside the Manhattan projet, especially Klaus Fuchs, but also Kim Philby and others. They should have excluded anybody from England in participating from the very beginning, all the stuff from the Tube alloy project was compromised.
The movie Oppenheimer pretends that it was kind of unfair how Oppenheimer was treated, but the movie does not show how extremely important it was to keep those secrets and what unimaginable huge blow it was, when the Soviet Union detonated an exact copy of the American Little Boy in the steppes of Kazakhstan in 1949. Maybe Oppenheimer himself was in the end accused unjustified, but the project was completely infiltrated and he was the boss. So it was his responsability to clean house, which he didn't.
@@thomaskalbfus2005 we had every right to stay in Europe just like US. Learn some history pal. There’s also a nice WWII memorial in DC.
What was said by President Nixon is so relevent to current history and true.
If you pay attention everything he says about the Soviet is a description of United States of America.
Vladimir said 🥱
Never thought I would say this, Nixon is a good statesman. 🎉😊

Brilliant & still relevant today!
More informed today than ever before, more miss informed than ever as well..
In the current contemporary environment
The question that has to be asked is
Is the US truthful and can be trusted
Not Russia
What year was this interview done?
My question is:…
Can we trust the Americans?
I mean our government, politicians & the rich!
You voted for them. If we cannot trust them, we cannot trust you.
Geeez ppl... you are really ignorant about Russia.
Your politicians are saints in comparison! 🙄
...well, now you have MAGA. Those are like Russia, pathological liars. And ppl voted for them 🤦♂️
Hopefully, Trump is starting to see the light, and won't fall for those he's nominating who work for Russia's game against USA.
We’re living in the world that is built on that trust.
WATERGATE = Nixon
@io_metre President Nixon was never convicted of doing anything wrong . . .
I agree with the statement
We have a same question in Russia. And answer is almost no.
Do you mean whether the Americans can be trusted? How did they harm us?
Why?
@@lucasworktvThe US verbally promised Russia not to expand NATO in 1990 if Russia didn't stop German reunification, and then they expanded it up to Russia's border and then out long range missiles in Eastern Europe. Of course you could say it wasn't written down so it doesn't matter but the Russians aren't going to care about that. They feel that they have been betrayed.
Simple:NO!
It is worth knowing that the world sees USA exactly in the same light as Nixon is describing Russians.
yea, except no not really
@@cusematt23Well yes and I can tell you at least a few EU countries do and they are becoming more
@ you guys (you and the EU countries) talked about it over beers?
Look, you’re wrong. The USA is obviously far from perfect, but the human rights records between the two countries are night and day. No one is here getting dragged to jail or pushed out a window for calling Joe Biden a clown.
@@cusematt23The formation of BRICS is explicit evidence to support his point. Countries outside of the EU, Canada, and Australia do not trust the US after watching it throw around its influence on international economy and finances for geopolitical goals.
The US is the country which has invaded or bombed more countries than any other over the last century and it sanctions even NATO allies when they do something the US doesn’t like.
The result is over a hundred nations coming together to devise and implement a new global economic and financial system which is not under the American thumb.
@ neither in Russia
Who on Earth tells the truth to their adversary? Thats bad poker face for sure.
"You can't trust America."
Good man.
I didn't know Nixon died so i legit thought this channel was being run by a 112 year old Nixon.
Easy answer for that: neverever
Former CIA Director Mike Pompeo admitted in 2019 that, in the coup-plotting spy agency, "We lied, we cheated, we stole. It was like, we had entire training courses".
What is your point?
All spying agencies in every country lie. You cannot keep a secret without lying. It is not possible.
He is criticizing the russians as if they have so many morals and ethical values. In fact, they have always been the most imperialist nation in the world since WWII
@@kevinking9284 from 1917 to 1991.
@@lucasworktvSpain, Philippines, Hawaii think otherwise
This philosophy can be applied to the Chinese as well.
No they cant be trusted.
Interview focus was on the Soviets. Russians have simply returned to their imperialist traditions in our day. Most everything else from Nixon can be translated to our time as applying to the Red Chinese who are arguably more dangerous than the Soviets were with their soft imperialism, use of our freedoms Ms and institutions against us, ideological commitment etc.
This video is more about Communists than Russians
They're still the same.
How do you know because the US isn't the same anymore. I am not saying I do trust them either, but we have changed a lot compared to the Russian.

His last comment is very telling. Mutual assured destruction has kept us from nuclear mayhem with Russia. Now go tell that to China and North Korea. Thanks for the remarkable clip!
That logic leads to thinking, that every nation should have a devastating arsenal of nuclear weapons to avoid wars with their neighbors or even current superpowers. That might even work.. 😱
No, they cannot be trusted.
The real question should be . Can the warmongers , warmericans send be trusted?????
The answer is: "No". Check out what Patton said about the ruSSians. He was perfectly precise.
