I also believe he loved this country very much. I have tremendous respect for the man. Not all of his policies of course, but he was a giant in some ways.
The Watergate Amendement by John Fitzgerald great historical novel on the first succesful coup...Rockefeller’s...Kissinger & 3 letters agences
Nixon was a pretty good President; but he was way off on ping pong diplomacy with the ChiComms. We did not protect our industries, pretending we were beyond that and now in the information age. Cost us many industries and jobs.
Agreed. He obtained a diplomatic solution to the Vietnam War, after forcing them to the negotiating table with Linebacker II in December of 1972. But as soon as the Left gained control, they cut legs right out from under the South Vietnamese by refusing to allow us to live up to our end of that treaty.
That gave them the green light to go full scale war.
IMO, at that point, we should have resumed bombing Hanoi, and re-laid the mines in Haiphong Harbor (which, if I am not mistaken, we helped them remove)
But the Left wanted to cut and run, and they did.
