Nixon was short-sighted in some areas (Watergate!), but far sighted strategically.

Yep. Noxious Nixon opened the door for China to become a world power, a door that Callous Traitor Clinton stepped through and sold them every military secret we had. Very “far sighted strategically”. Maybe Brandon can finish the job that Noxious Nixon and Callous Traitor Clinton began?
Nixon’s idea was to split China and Russia. Of course, no one had enough sense in government to monitor the ongoing results.
That opening seems to have taken a turn for the worse, I’ll agree. I wonder what would have happened if the US had tried to keep China isolated for the last 50 years. That would probably be just as bad.
Nixon didn’t make Clinton sell “dual use” guidance technology to China that advanced their offensive capabilities by (some say) 20 years. How could Nixon foresee a Clinton or an Obama or a Biden?
