Nixon was an idiot.
No core.
I got to know 3 Iranian women in the late 70’s. All were beautiful.
Exactly.
Nixon surrendered to Vietnam's communists, established the EPA, set the national speed limit at 55, took the dollar off the gold standard, instituted price and wage controls in response to government spending caused inflation, started the process of outsourcing American jobs to communist China and even fell for a CCP honey pot, expanded welfare, started Affirmative Action, created OSHA. With Republicans like that, we don't need any Demonrats.
The Shah wasn’t perfect, but Carter failed to understand that a democracy or a republican form of government is incompatible with Islam.
Biden BARF Bump!
But you are correct about President Nixon.
The Shah was a big time hunter. I don’t see how he had any time left for other things. I saw his trophy room in a book once. The book was about the greatest hunters in the world.
They were not stupid decisions at the time, but they morphed into the Environmental Persecution Agency and dependency on what has become an enemy that wants to destroy us. He did some good, some bad. He started the lottery for the draft which I thought was fair, and he did get us out of Vietnam even though the withdrawal was a disaster. But I though Carter was a complete idiot, interest rates through the roof and a host of other dumb policies.
I was born in 70 so I was a youngin. Wow Nixon sucked. Geez
AND... what Democrats did (and have been doing ever since) is as bad and worse than what they tried to hang on him. No one wants to talk about that!!
It should be remembered as well that the UK had their fingerprints all over what happened there.

The opening to China was a card to play to put pressure on the Soviet Union. I don’t fault Nixon for playing it given the choices he had at the time. It was a cheaper and more effective play then continued increases in defense spending which Congress wasn’t going to do. The problem with the “card” it was blindly played for no good reason* by succeeding administration. Played even after the Tiananmen Square massacre which was the last opportunity to actually do something.
* The false notion that close trade relations prevent war. It didn’t in WWI, or any other conflict. Yet the notion prevails amongst the fevered thinking of “Foreign Policy Specialists”.
Nixon was a very good President. Jimmy Carter was a disaster. I think this was recognized by the American people. When Nixon ran for reelection, he won 49 states. When Carter ran for reelection, he won 6 states.
THE SHAH WANTED TO ALLOW GIRLS TO GET EDUCATED.
THE MALES THREW HIM OUT
