Nixon was one of the most incredible foreign policy Presidents in our history. His downfall was covering up for a “2nd” rate” burglary by his reelection committee and having his conversations taped. Our present resident of the White House commits worse abominations than this on a daily basis! The communist left wing press discovered that they could bring down a president and ensure military defeat during this period of time. Nixon did believe that you grasped a certain part of your adversaries anatomy and twist to get concessions!
Nixon was a terrible president, and his foreign policy consisted of legitimizing the world’s most brutal regime: Mao’s China. Anyone who suggests he required any concessions from Communist China has no understanding of history.
