BTW, Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown is still dead, as is Vince Foster, as is Seth Richards, and many others who were associated with the Clintons. My question is how did two no-bodies from Arkansas obtain so much power?
Since we haven't heard much from Billy the Rapist of late, I'm hoping he is dying a slow agonizing death. If there is a Hell, I'd bet Lucifer has a special theme park for Bill Clinton. Hillary Clinton will have her own.
“Mao told Nixon what the result of a nuclear strike would be and Nixon sued for peace.”
Since I was not a kid during Nixon’s time I would be interested in seeing your proof of this, something I never heard before even though I followed politics fairly closely.
So tell me. What would have been the result if a nuclear strike on China (other than it’s complete obliteration given the capabilities of China at that time.
That guy’s from Brooklyn,...
Proof? Suggest you research microfiches at a very good library. The internet did not exist then, so there are no links to period news articles. There are some books you might pursue about Nixon and China. Or you could just read a good history book, if they publish such things these days.
I have no idea how your fictional encounter would have turned out, especially since Russia would have been treaty-bound to come to China’s aid.
Nixon was noxious, as far as I’m concerned, and was instrumental in destroying many freedoms we once had. I’m sure you disagree, like most conservatives and Republicans who never bore the brunt of his policies, but only learned about them in the one-sided MSM of the day.
The modern Nixonian results are just coming home to roost for most of the US - its your turn now. Enjoy.
I was neither a big Nixon fan nor did I hate him.
I’m not going out searching for the evidence you should have provided with your claim.
You said Nixon was warned about using nukes on China and he backed down.
Show me where he:
1 was contemplating this
2 was warned by Mao
Put up or shut up.
Since you are too lazy to look up stuff that exists only in microfiche and written books, I can’t help you. Not everything is on the internet - and you should know that as well as your American history, without having someone else teach it to you. Else you are just being argumentive for the sake of argument, aka a troll.
And I’ll add that Russia - China relations were quite strained in the 60s - 70s. Like to the point of the Russians massing troops and tactical nuclear weapons on their border with China. The Chinese did not back down.
Detente with the US/Nixon was to aid China and support the growing wedge between China and Russia. Russia stopped sponsoring Chinese development from the mid 1960s on after the Chinese stopped repayment of Russian ‘development loans’. Lots more bad blood between China and Russia than China and the US.
OK, you’re a crank.
See ya.

Oh sorry! I see you are already on the list.
Thanks for putting me on the list.
I can think of few things worse than being associated with a tinfoil wack job like you.
Get yourself a new roll of aluminum foil and adjust the frequency.
