Thats the part he describes after missed opportunities. Obama rejected Putins peace offer. trump then only signaled "nothing missed & nothing new since general Custer".
Back when leaders actually knew shit. But Hypocracy was already lived by Nixon, blaming Russian Imperialism while US is leading/supporting wars all over the world.
@@ri-oj1ul 💀 In the case of the United States, as shameful as it is for the politicians to condescend to the people as if they were children, there is a reason they can get away with doing so. Americans need to read more and think more if they want a good future for themselves, but instead they report reading less and less every year, and it shows. Increasingly, Americans have the attention span of a goldfish and just as little knowledge of history, and hilariously and horribly the whole world is dragged along by this superpowered goldfish. If only the new despotism were any better. Some third global alternative to degrading goldfishworld vs. degrading autocracy is badly needed.
Well, it's crazy that we're choosing to elect men in their 70s to the presidency. What for? Because they're "seasoned" and learned? That's ridiculous, there are plenty of those kinds of people in their 40s and 50s. Is it, perhaps, that men that old have had decades to build enough influence to finally get that kind of support? Maybe. The downsides of electing a geriatric president outweigh the benefits IMHO. Potential health issues, declining mental ability, etc. I just believe that the choices we have been given, especially in the past 2 cycles, have been horrible. If the people absolutely must stay with a 2 party system, then those parties absolutely *must* give us better candidates to choose from. Nobody in their right mind can tell me that Donald Trump and Joe Biden and the best politicians and statesmen this country has to offer. The *have* to be better leaders than this somewhere in this vast country. Less divisive leaders who can bring the country together in these trying times, instead of further driving a wedge down the middle of us. We must find that common ground to unite us if we are to make any kind of real progress. Democrats: the Republicans are not going away. Republicans: Democrats aren't going anywhere. You absolutely must learn to live with each other or the only thing that will continue to get done is nothing at all. So screw these old men. Nothing personal, but it's time for someone fresh and new to lead us into the future. And I'm not saying let 20 year old kids take over Washington, I'm just saying... you know, an intelligent, well connected and charismatic 48-58 year old man or woman should be ideal for either party. In a perfect world the party wouldn't matter. We'd just elect people based on their public record and campaign. Let's start with the small stuff first though. Like not electing an ancient executive. And enacting term limits for Congress. It will add up eventually.
@@jokerzwild00 hmmm, well, I just turned 72 and though I’d rather not be “screwed” there are a number of things which affect all of us. 1. We need the Holy Spirit to pierce our hearts, minds, and souls. 2. We need to fall on our knees, pleading for mercy, forgiveness, and repent of our evil ways - turning back to God through Jesus Christ, getting rid of our perverted, decadent, and compromised existence and coming to terms with what is right and good vs evil and darkness. I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s - my foster family would never vote for anybody who wasn’t a democrat and held that belief their entire lives (I’m a conservative, btw). But for anybody to believe Hillary or Joe B. was best for this country certainly blows my mind. I am not in the MAGA cult although I would like to see America be a shining light to the world. I no longer say “God bless America” - why should He? Those three words illustrate how disconnected we are - I am ashamed of what we have become - a country of over-emotional, spoiled, and a woke society who feels entitled to everything - who believe free speech is only a right as long as your views parallel theirs, and an all-inclusive acceptance for re-writing laws, history, and the attempt to establish a new paradigm through “woke-ism”. No longer does “love thy neighbor” hold value. Speaking of neighbors, why haven’t we stepped up for our neighbors in this hemisphere? You and I both know the answer to that and we should be ashamed. Eisenhower sounded the alarm on the rapid development of the deep state (Nixon was his protege). (Sorry, I digress). Whom would you prefer to see at 1600 Penn - Josh Hawley (age 44)? Tom Cotton (46)? Kristi Noem (52)? Sarah Huckabee-Sanders (41)? Majorie Taylor Green (49)? Elise Stefanik (39)? Rashida Talib (47)? Ilhan Omar (41)? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (34)? Maxwell Frost (27)? Taylor Swift (34)? Kanye West (46)? Kim Kardashian (43)? Who would be the best to lead this country out of the depths and stench it has created? My apologies but I forgot the former mayor from Chicago - “beetlejuice”. I would be surprised if the 2024 election will be held but if it is, the “fix” is already in. Judgement will be upon us soon - possibly as early as April but definitely the summer and fall leading up to the election if we make it that far. Most likely we will be living under martial law - the economy will have tanked, blockchain interruptions, food scarcity, gas rationing/scarcity, roving blackouts, the military controlling the infrastructure (there goes the internet and mobile access/coverage - I’ll feel as though I’m back in another third-world hole but at least I’ve operated under those extremes in my career and by God’s grace my family and friends will survive). May I recommend TH-cam viewing of John MacArthur (When God Abandons a Nation), Brandon Holthaus, Jack Hibbs, Amir Tsarfati, Voddie Bacham, Paul Washer, Jonathan Cahn, Mark Biltz, and Janie DuVall’s channel where her guests outline what lies ahead. And today - Feb. 25 - go to First Baptist Dallas and watch Robert Jeffress’ sermon for direction, peace, and comfort. I will agree with you that some of the old guard needs to be changed - Nadler, Schumer, McConnell (this is a start but again, it is over as we are “as in the days of Noah” and living as those in Sodom & Gomorrah- Judgement is upon us!
@wild00 Unfortunately, it all boils down to Politics. Age-aside the ones who are given exposure and support by the parties are those that the party side with. Which is why there are some decent to great candidates out there but because they aren't playing politics with the party leaders, they aren't given as much attention. Donald Trump is a bit of a different story because he comes with a lot of drama and baggage that the media can't help but salivate on everything he does. His support is solid at best but dwindling at worst. He's not gaining much ground but he does have the support of key party officials because they want to keep their job, not because they whole-heartedly support him.
Yes you are right. Russia is evil it attacked Iraq on wmd claims occupies Syria by creating isis arming them training them and then telling them we are fighting isis, it attacked Libya it attacked Serbia it maintains 800 military bases around the world and threatens every country that doesn’t bow to them
My dad grew up watching communism take over Russia and their family left in 1926. He always said that Nixon was brilliant in foreign policy. These in control of our nation right now, haven’t a clue! Trump knew, as did Reagan. Carter and the Democrats, and now Biden? No.
hmm... so pushing NATO away from your doorstep (Georgia 2008 and Ukraine 2024 that was rlly started by Ukraine in 2014) is now called Russian Imperialism. What a wise man...
Where's the part where he said, that american foreign politics wanted Russia to be exactly where it is now so the military industrial complex can still earn a buttload of money?
that part must be in the rest of the interview. this is just a short segment of his whole interview lasting a few seconds. if america falls authoritarianism and dictatorship will rise all over the world again. and there'll be plenty of wars. you wouldn't even have to worry about the military industrial complex then.@@josephsmith688
I’m looking at Nixon in a completely new light now with these interviews he did. Certainly more intelligent than most of the Presidents that came after him.
I have heard it said he was probably the smartest GOP President save for Lincoln. But as recent history shows, the GOP does not rate being smart a virtue. Rather the opposite.
He and Kennedy were probably the two smartest presidents post WW2 until clinton and Obama. But I think Kennedy and Nixon were 100x the statesmen than Clinton and Obama.
@@pat442389Obama was a good public speaker but was not smart. His policies were horrendous for the country. Clinton I have to concede was very good for the country. Obama…horrible.
He was a fantastic president and really knew the best direction for the country at the time. Its sad he had bad people on his campaign and fell into axiety over his legacy
ALL the US Presidents and British PM’s in the 20th century, whether they were “Left”, “Right” or whatever, were educated and informed in world history. It’s only since the turn of the millennium that politics in the West have become an insular joke, and a really bad joke at that.
He was a good president, but attempting to usurp the electoral process which has kept this country stable for centuries? that will forever tarnish his reputation. It's ironic isn't it? in trying to secure his legacy, he forever ruined it.@@noonespecial9704
It's relevant in a different way. The fall of communism and a sudden shift to capitalism was very difficult, as the economy had to be virtually rebuilt in certain respects. This left a lot of young Russians bitter that have been coming of age over the last decade or so. The Russians older than them don't remember the USSR fondly, but also remember how difficult the transition was.
Russia since rejected communism & embraced a more capatalist/democratic style of governance. They also restored their Christian Orthodox faith. The west on the other hand has since rejected their Christian roots, embraced a new mutated form of communism/marxism ie ‘wokism’ ‘globalism’ ‘open borders’ ‘lgbtq ideology’ ‘censorship’ etc etc etc

Nixon and Kissinger rewrote the book on US foreign policy and set the stage for American supremecy in the 21st Century. Its just too bad they were crooks.
I remember Nixons administration very well. Even though I was a teenager at the time I thought ans said out loud that Nixon was a great president, absolutely better than most gave him credit for. He just got caught in the Watergate scandal which is nothing compared to what Joe Biden has done.

Nixon had great ability, especially in regards to foreign policy. Sadly he was too paranoid with his enemies list, or he could have done even greater things.
The jump cuts in this are so obvious. Looks incredibly stitched together. I highly doubt the legitimacy of this video. Seriously needs to be fact checked if he actually said this as is presented in the video.
and just think,there were literally hundreds of Senators and congressmen,and other American political leaders at that time from the greatest generation who were as equally smart as he was. Dare I say it,some would have had the audacity to say he(Nixon) was just average.
The English language.....very difficult...some people say, Mr. President you talk English the greatest. I don't know if it's true or not. Joe: Now listen up....um well yes English, the border, black people can speak English and uhmm, I like ice cream. Freezes for 30 seconds. And as I was saying, I'd like some ice cream right damn now and if Trump believes in democracy he'd let me have some!

@@hedwiggwalczak3204 - I lived through it Skippy, this was a liberal lynching much like they’re trying to do to Trump. Nixon’s only mistake was bringing China into the world economy.
Although I was never a fan of nixon, his insight here demonstrates very clearly why he very much deserved to be president. His warning came decades in advance.
Watergate is a very interesting deep dive. The Father of a friend very high up in one of the political parties told me Watergate was about the JFK Assassination and keeping a lid on the truth. Some of the perps were in JFK's own Party, one was not but went on to become President of the United States itself. Although Nixon was not a conspirator or participant in the Assassination, he had the inside savy and knowledge and could name names. In fact. Nixon was in Dallas at the time of the Assassination. He denied it for years but eventually it was revealed he had attended a Pepsi board meeting in Dallas during that time period. I believe that during his stay there he may have made overtures in an effort to stop it but was unsuccessful. The wheels were too far in motion. The Watergate safe contained photos which incriminated some that were involved. Nixon felt that as we were trying to win the Cold War, if the truth got out that our own CIA and their confederates had killed a U.S. President, it would irreversibly damage our credibility worldwide and perhaps even cause us the loss of allies in the Cold War. Hunt was blackmailing Nixon over it. Hunt's wife Dorothy went down in a plane crash with a suitcase full of cash. An on site supervisor in Dealey Plaza who went on to become President, according to visitors logs, visited the White House 180 times during Watergate. In retrospect, I think Nixon would have been better off to let the truth get out. But even then he might have been assassinated himself. And the CIA would have controlled the narrative rather quickly. Nixon would be just another name on the hit list. JFK, RFK, MLK, and then RMN. I think he knew that.
The "media" defined him, just as they frame our leaders today. Question: Who does the media answer to? Nevermind. I don't feel like going down that rabbit hole.
Nixon’s comprehension of foreign policy and being able to communicate it in a way everyone can understand is so beyond anyone else’s ability it’s amazing
All presidents are part of the same gang behind the scenes that why they push these agendas of a one world order instead of living other countries be. Russia is holding the last line I hope it doesn’t fall.

Do you mean this Nixon interview? Cuz this must be atleast 30-40+ old, i dont remember when Nixon went in a coffin and 6ft under but maybe youre reffering to Trump?
Well, there was Chile, not that good morally and counterproductive. Alliende may have failed but Nixon and Kissinger did not want to have one example of a socialist system to succeed in the context of a democracy. So he may be after all the cause of China reverting to dictatorship as it happens today and people to dream to try again.
And clearly he’s projecting with a Death Star. It’s Britain, not Russia, that’s invaded every inhabited continent on the planet and most counties in the world. US, not Russia, that’s overthrown dozens of democracies post WWII. Anyone who laos this 💩 up is a fool and a tool.
Well Europe failed by not accepting Russia into the EU and NATO and integrating it into the west. The US failed by not providing aid after the collapse on the Soviet Union as they did in Europe after World War 2 and the MIC pushed for an imaginary enemy to keep selling weapons.
I think it was Nixon who formed America's relationship with China, which was a huge mistake because the CCP cannot be trusted and are friends with both Russia and Iran.
No he projected about European imperialism while saying America is peace and freedom while taking on nazi personal for nato and their ideals in the US economy. American aristocracy are some of the most closeted national socialists and passive aggressive bolsheviks mad about true Christian values.

Nixon was a very good president. He did not pull half of the illegal stunts that the current occupant of the White House has. If you want to hate an evil president look at Wilson who sold us all out to the Federal Reserve.
The war being raged against Trump is the same war they waged against Nixon. Nixon was one of our best presidents. The psy-op was mostly successful. Most people think he was this horrible person. He wasn’t.

To extent we learn ,aquire, live by AND DEFEND, PROTECT, PRESERVE, AND PROMOTE, true principles of freedom there will be liberty and justice and peace for all doing that, bar a foreign entity attack or something subversive.
@@tedmed7349 Some would argue that "freedom" is subjective. I believe Nixons speech here was saying that "Freedom" in the way that the American citizen recognizes it, is on trial.
Nixon also said” In developing a policy toward the new Russia, we must begin by recognizing that the Russians did not lose the Cold War. The communists did. We should therefore treat the Russians not as defeated enemies but as allies who joined with us in defeating Soviet communism in its heartland-Russia.” The USA did not treat Russia like this they treated them as losers of cold war. Ask Dr Jeffrey Sachs economic advisor to Bush Sr, sachs wanted to give russia the same loan USA gave to Poland but bush sr administration laughed at him and said” we won the cold war they lost let the Russians be on its knees and let them figure it out themselves “ congratulations enter Vladimirovich Putin
@@f0xygemall kinds of universal child/health care sounds great, if you actually have an economy that can afford to support them. Nixon, as a Republican (ie. realist) knew that we didn’t then, and we still don’t now. You can’t support your own people, and foreign wars, and illegal immigrants, and college debt relief all at the same time. Dems need to get their priorities in order. Because no matter what Biden seems to think, that money has to actually come from somewhere. He can’t just keep printing more money, and say that it has nothing to do with the current inflation we’re experiencing. It has everything to do with it.
I miss president Nixon, the best president ever. If only recent US presidents had only half his astute wisdom, the world today would have been a much happier place
people are waking up to the intrinsic inequalities in capitalism. with the internet, the slave caste that capitalism requires is no longer content with slaving for the middle class/rich to be happy. equality feels like oppression when you're the ones on top lol
This was the tragedy of Nixon. He could be extremely perceptive. But at the same time, he was beset by inner demons that made him act out in tremendously damaging ways. In the end, his personal demons meant that he could not be trusted with power. And that's a shame, because as this video shows, there was nothing wrong with his powers of observation.
He prolonged the Vietnam war by another 7 years by lying about a peace agreement he said he had with the south Vietnamese government a week before the 68 election thus destroying a ceasefire that LBJ and Humpries had secured thus putting Humphries ahead in the polls…34,000 more US soldiers died as a result….so….fuck him !!!
As someone who grew up in China, I can say that Nixon is one of the most famous US presidents in my country - everyone of my generaton has seen the famous picture of Nixon reaching his hands out to Zhou Enlai in Beijing, commecing a historic diplomatic relationship. It is truly refreshing and a bit spine-chilling to hear his views from years ago matching exactly what is taking place today.
And a real estate mogul brokered a peace deal between millennia long religious enemy's. Y'all take more of my paycheck so irresponsible teenagers can donate fetal material to black market t cell researchers.
The other point to have in mind is that it's vital it succeeds because it'll mean that Russia, which for seventy years, will be exporting democracy, freedom, and the goods of freedom - Nixon's words from the same interview.
quit projecting into this. he stating to obvious not predicting the future. if something doesn't work it can become worse or corrupt. what a bunch a dummies
Well the problem with the ‘democracy’ is it can be bought, sold, leveraged, prostituted and exploited by rich n powerful like that soros guy or murdochs etc! And look now at ‘freedom’ kids being forced to learn about lgbtq and having sex changes before they can think properly!
Too bad elections became a line in the sand playground fight where people are more worried about "our guy" winning than finding someone who works for all sides, American citizens, regardless of the party they came out of. It's a vicious cycle of one party winning, undoing everything the former party did, only to lose the next vote for accomplishing nothing and the cycle repeating. US is a two headed dragon trying to bite each head off, not realizing if one dies, the other bleeds out too. Honestly the way 2024 election is currently shaping up to be, no matter which side wins, Half the country loses and the other half settles for less.

Nixon is often viewed by historians who study US presidents as an example of a very capable leader with very few moral qualms about using the ends to justify the means. That has made him do truly evil things. I think the worst thing he ever did was to purposely prolong the Vietnam War in order to use it politically to win the presidency, which he succeeded in.

He was definitely. Maybe only Iranians could say perfectly that who is the best USA president in the aspect of foreign policy. I’m replying from Iran. Everyone here loves Nixon and praises his friendship with the Shah.
I find it ironic that current commentators can’t see the dissolution of The US 🇺🇸 as we speak and Nixon didn’t see that coming. Russia 🇷🇺 is only a threat now because your 🇺🇸 elites created that scenario by aggressively pursuing the demise of the Russian Federation.
@benyaminpourmohamad4370 Nixon understood the balance necessary to keep peace. The war between Russia and Ukraine for example is a failure to maintain the balance between the East and West. Diplomacy and empathy are lost arts in the US government.

At the time, he was seen as a 'Cowboy' of intellect, by his equals...! Nowadays, the bar of political intellect in general, is so low, that they praise him now, as highly intelligent!?!!

True but of course it would fail since it does not exist anywhere. Not in the US either which is an imperialism par excellence and a model of oligarchy "for the world to follow".
He's much smarter and more moderate than the current version of the GOP. But he did basically commit treason by preventing peace talks with North Vietnam in 1968, saying that his administration would give a better deal if they waited.. So it's a mixed bag.
@@thatoneguy7715 The Dems were running Humphrey. Nixon was a supposedly a sure winner at that time Adding that extra treason in by talking to the Viet Cong prematurely was arguably very poor character and judgement. It would be like Trump asking the Taliban to continue their war in Afghanistan just to help his election chances. It got American kids killed, for nothing. It's not OK.
Most underrated? Maybe, but he definitely accomplished many things as president, and why Watergate was such a catastrophe. Cuz if he had just run on his own record and gotten reelected, he probably would have gone down as one of the greatest Presidents in our history! However his own insecurities got the better of him.🤷♂️
Quite the prediction. I did not realize just how brilliant this man was. Despite his past failings, we should give him credit for basically predicting or warning us in the West of the future to come.
@@Interrobang212yes yes it's the Nixon Foundation carrying on the legacy of Tricky Dick with fake AI predictions of the future to enhance his legacy! 😂
You can watch the entire interview, it's called "Inside Washington", the thing is, although he predicted it, he was completely wrong with the way to avoid it, right after this he explains that the US should put all it's chips in Yeltsin so Russia can have freedom, well, that's what happened and his prediction still came about, so yes, he predicted the bad outcome of his own strategy, not to say that it would turn out different without Yeltsin but this clip is overrated because of that
Can you imagine a US president talking so coherently, in full sentences without stumbling or ranting about someone. Sure Nixon's politics werd not my cup of tea, he was a smart man.
I understand you forgot about our 44th president being able to at least make it through sentences and thoughts and over-arching themes and whatall . But yeah the overall decline of literacy and speech in general is a shame
Say what you want about Nixon, he was absolutely one of the most intelligent presidents of all time with tremendous foresight. He called that one perfectly.
He totally was, and I say that as a lifelong Democrat. Nixon's problems were personal hubris and pathological paranoia. I'd much rather have him running as a Republican this year than Trump, by a light-year.
Yea. he got a bad rap in history. Was not a bad president at all. He just got caught where other Presidents haven't. Plus now, Democrats have a free reign since the FBI, CIA and media would cover anything nefarious up. I miss impartial news organizations.

What are you talking about? The US is still hated across the world from his policies. He is responsible for starting the chain of events that killed half of Cambodia. He made sure the genocide in Guatemala escalated. I could go on and also mention that other presidents around the same time made similar mistakes but Nixon stands out as having zero foresight along with zero respect for human life and suffering.
I was only a kid during his Presidency. My mom voted for Humphrey! Listening to his interviews now is a realization of how underrated he was in his own time! How we could use his insight and wisdom today!
@@Fred-yq3fs Best way to say it! Nixon’s ideal role would be a Secretary of State or an ambassador, NOT a president. The EPA was founded under him, so I could also see him as the department head of that, but might not enjoy that role 😅

Increasingly, Americans have the attention span of a goldfish and just as little knowledge of history, and hilariously and horribly the whole world is dragged along by this superpowered goldfish.

This interview took place in 1992. He is 79 years old at this point.
Just compare Nixon with Joe Biden at age 79. Dispiriting to say the least. 🇺🇸
Well, it's crazy that we're choosing to elect men in their 70s to the presidency. What for? Because they're "seasoned" and learned? That's ridiculous, there are plenty of those kinds of people in their 40s and 50s. Is it, perhaps, that men that old have had decades to build enough influence to finally get that kind of support? Maybe.
The downsides of electing a geriatric president outweigh the benefits IMHO. Potential health issues, declining mental ability, etc. I just believe that the choices we have been given, especially in the past 2 cycles, have been horrible. If the people absolutely must stay with a 2 party system, then those parties absolutely *must* give us better candidates to choose from. Nobody in their right mind can tell me that Donald Trump and Joe Biden and the best politicians and statesmen this country has to offer. The *have* to be better leaders than this somewhere in this vast country. Less divisive leaders who can bring the country together in these trying times, instead of further driving a wedge down the middle of us. We must find that common ground to unite us if we are to make any kind of real progress. Democrats: the Republicans are not going away. Republicans: Democrats aren't going anywhere. You absolutely must learn to live with each other or the only thing that will continue to get done is nothing at all.
So screw these old men. Nothing personal, but it's time for someone fresh and new to lead us into the future. And I'm not saying let 20 year old kids take over Washington, I'm just saying... you know, an intelligent, well connected and charismatic 48-58 year old man or woman should be ideal for either party.
In a perfect world the party wouldn't matter. We'd just elect people based on their public record and campaign. Let's start with the small stuff first though. Like not electing an ancient executive. And enacting term limits for Congress. It will add up eventually.
@@marcopolo3109 : Funniest thing I’ve read in weeks! 🤣
@@jokerzwild00 hmmm, well, I just turned 72 and though I’d rather not be “screwed” there are a number of things which affect all of us. 1. We need the Holy Spirit to pierce our hearts, minds, and souls. 2. We need to fall on our knees, pleading for mercy, forgiveness, and repent of our evil ways - turning back to God through Jesus Christ, getting rid of our perverted, decadent, and compromised existence and coming to terms with what is right and good vs evil and darkness. I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s - my foster family would never vote for anybody who wasn’t a democrat and held that belief their entire lives (I’m a conservative, btw). But for anybody to believe Hillary or Joe B. was best for this country certainly blows my mind. I am not in the MAGA cult although I would like to see America be a shining light to the world. I no longer say “God bless America” - why should He? Those three words illustrate how disconnected we are - I am ashamed of what we have become - a country of over-emotional, spoiled, and a woke society who feels entitled to everything - who believe free speech is only a right as long as your views parallel theirs, and an all-inclusive acceptance for re-writing laws, history, and the attempt to establish a new paradigm through “woke-ism”. No longer does “love thy neighbor” hold value. Speaking of neighbors, why haven’t we stepped up for our neighbors in this hemisphere? You and I both know the answer to that and we should be ashamed. Eisenhower sounded the alarm on the rapid development of the deep state (Nixon was his protege). (Sorry, I digress). Whom would you prefer to see at 1600 Penn - Josh Hawley (age 44)? Tom Cotton (46)? Kristi Noem (52)? Sarah Huckabee-Sanders (41)? Majorie Taylor Green (49)? Elise Stefanik (39)? Rashida Talib (47)? Ilhan Omar (41)? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (34)? Maxwell Frost (27)? Taylor Swift (34)? Kanye West (46)? Kim Kardashian (43)? Who would be the best to lead this country out of the depths and stench it has created? My apologies but I forgot the former mayor from Chicago - “beetlejuice”. I would be surprised if the 2024 election will be held but if it is, the “fix” is already in. Judgement will be upon us soon - possibly as early as April but definitely the summer and fall leading up to the election if we make it that far. Most likely we will be living under martial law - the economy will have tanked, blockchain interruptions, food scarcity, gas rationing/scarcity, roving blackouts, the military controlling the infrastructure (there goes the internet and mobile access/coverage - I’ll feel as though I’m back in another third-world hole but at least I’ve operated under those extremes in my career and by God’s grace my family and friends will survive). May I recommend TH-cam viewing of John MacArthur (When God Abandons a Nation), Brandon Holthaus, Jack Hibbs, Amir Tsarfati, Voddie Bacham, Paul Washer, Jonathan Cahn, Mark Biltz, and Janie DuVall’s channel where her guests outline what lies ahead. And today - Feb. 25 - go to First Baptist Dallas and watch Robert Jeffress’ sermon for direction, peace, and comfort. I will agree with you that some of the old guard needs to be changed - Nadler, Schumer, McConnell (this is a start but again, it is over as we are “as in the days of Noah” and living as those in Sodom & Gomorrah- Judgement is upon us!
@wild00 Unfortunately, it all boils down to Politics. Age-aside the ones who are given exposure and support by the parties are those that the party side with. Which is why there are some decent to great candidates out there but because they aren't playing politics with the party leaders, they aren't given as much attention.
Donald Trump is a bit of a different story because he comes with a lot of drama and baggage that the media can't help but salivate on everything he does. His support is solid at best but dwindling at worst. He's not gaining much ground but he does have the support of key party officials because they want to keep their job, not because they whole-heartedly support him.
Nixon was farsighted in his analysis. He predicted exactly what has happened.
Yes you are right.

This Statement is MUCH more Relevant Today. Than it was back in 1991. So well said by President Nixon.
But that’s the point. Nixon was predicting a possible outcome that seems to be what actually happened.
It's relevant in a different way. The fall of communism and a sudden shift to capitalism was very difficult, as the economy had to be virtually rebuilt in certain respects. This left a lot of young Russians bitter that have been coming of age over the last decade or so. The Russians older than them don't remember the USSR fondly, but also remember how difficult the transition was.
Russia since rejected communism & embraced a more capatalist/democratic style of governance. They also restored their Christian Orthodox faith. The west on the other hand has since rejected their Christian roots, embraced a new mutated form of communism/marxism ie ‘wokism’ ‘globalism’ ‘open borders’ ‘lgbtq ideology’ ‘censorship’ etc etc etc

Although I was never a fan of nixon, his insight here demonstrates very clearly why he very much deserved to be president. His warning came decades in advance.
Watergate is a very interesting deep dive. The Father of a friend very high up in one of the political parties told me Watergate was about the JFK Assassination and keeping a lid on the truth. Some of the perps were in JFK's own Party, one was not but went on to become President of the United States itself. Although Nixon was not a conspirator or participant in the Assassination, he had the inside savy and knowledge and could name names. In fact. Nixon was in Dallas at the time of the Assassination. He denied it for years but eventually it was revealed he had attended a Pepsi board meeting in Dallas during that time period. I believe that during his stay there he may have made overtures in an effort to stop it but was unsuccessful. The wheels were too far in motion. The Watergate safe contained photos which incriminated some that were involved. Nixon felt that as we were trying to win the Cold War, if the truth got out that our own CIA and their confederates had killed a U.S. President, it would irreversibly damage our credibility worldwide and perhaps even cause us the loss of allies in the Cold War. Hunt was blackmailing Nixon over it. Hunt's wife Dorothy went down in a plane crash with a suitcase full of cash. An on site supervisor in Dealey Plaza who went on to become President, according to visitors logs, visited the White House 180 times during Watergate. In retrospect, I think Nixon would have been better off to let the truth get out. But even then he might have been assassinated himself. And the CIA would have controlled the narrative rather quickly. Nixon would be just another name on the hit list. JFK, RFK, MLK, and then RMN. I think he knew that.
He's clearly intelligent, and can express coherent thoughts eloquently. Unlike the insult spitting buffoon Trump.
Eisenhower's warning about the government falling under the control of the military industrial complex and a few Oil Men preceded that of his V.P.
Don’t believe everything said about Nixon.
The "media" defined him, just as they frame our leaders today. Question: Who does the media answer to?

Yeah he took Jackie Gleason. To see UFOs. At homestead afb. In. Fla
"The ideas of freedom are on trial."
Wow... there has never been a more true statement made in politics.
yes the " understanding of freedom we have at a particular time and are living by" But are they truly in accordance with with true freedom. To extent we learn ,aquire, live by AND DEFEND, PROTECT, PRESERVE, AND PROMOTE, true principles of freedom there will be liberty and justice and peace for all doing that, bar a foreign entity attack or something subversive.
@@tedmed7349 Some would argue that "freedom" is subjective. I believe Nixons speech here was saying that "Freedom" in the way that the American citizen recognizes it, is on trial.
yeah except its equally true when applied to the USA these days
@@julianciahaconsulting8663 That is what I was saying.
Nixon also said” In developing a policy toward the new Russia, we must begin by recognizing that the Russians did not lose the Cold War. The communists did. We should therefore treat the Russians not as defeated enemies but as allies who joined with us in defeating Soviet communism in its heartland-Russia.”
The USA did not treat Russia like this they treated them as losers of cold war. Ask Dr Jeffrey Sachs economic advisor to Bush Sr, sachs wanted to give russia the same loan USA gave to Poland but bush sr administration laughed at him and said” we won the cold war they lost let the Russians be on its knees and let them figure it out themselves “ congratulations enter Vladimirovich Putin
The more I listen to Nixon the more amazed I am at how knowledgeable he actually was. We didn't heed his advice and now have this situation in 2024.
Back in 1960 Catholic priests were advising us to vote for Nixon instead of JFK. He was the more in line with Catholic principals.
What I’ve now began to wonder more and more is how much of the Nixon narrative was BS and inside baseball. Deep state before it was called deep state.
He had his good points: he had his bad points.
He started the EPA. But he vetoed Universal child care
No, you didn't heed the advice of George Kennan about NATO expansionism.
@@f0xygemall kinds of universal child/health care sounds great, if you actually have an economy that can afford to support them. Nixon, as a Republican (ie. realist) knew that we didn’t then, and we still don’t now. You can’t support your own people, and foreign wars, and illegal immigrants, and college debt relief all at the same time. Dems need to get their priorities in order. Because no matter what Biden seems to think, that money has to actually come from somewhere. He can’t just keep printing more money, and say that it has nothing to do with the current inflation we’re experiencing. It has everything to do with it.
I miss president Nixon, the best president ever. If only recent US presidents had only half his astute wisdom, the world today would have been a much happier place
What’s scary is he was actually right on the money with this one
He usually was. Probably the most capable president of the 20th century, but derailed by his paranoid personality.
people are waking up to the intrinsic inequalities in capitalism. with the internet, the slave caste that capitalism requires is no longer content with slaving for the middle class/rich to be happy. equality feels like oppression when you're the ones on top lol
This was the tragedy of Nixon. He could be extremely perceptive. But at the same time, he was beset by inner demons that made him act out in tremendously damaging ways.
In the end, his personal demons meant that he could not be trusted with power. And that's a shame, because as this video shows, there was nothing wrong with his powers of observation.
The strange thing is that freedom has partially failed in the USA because of the radical totalitarian Democratic Party.
LOL, he was just spewing propaganda as all murrican "leaders" are obliged to do. Idiots.
President Richard M. Nixon as tragic as his presidency was in the end - was indeed one of the greatest political statesmen in the 20th Century.
Yeah, but his legacy of opening up China may come back to bite U.S. at the end.
He prolonged the Vietnam war by another 7 years by lying about a peace agreement he said he had with the south Vietnamese government a week before the 68 election thus destroying a ceasefire that LBJ and Humpries had secured thus putting Humphries ahead in the polls…34,000 more US soldiers died as a result….so….fuck him !!!
He also had a very realistic view of what America needed as a health care system - and then came Hollywood Reagan with his bible and other stuff ...

As someone who grew up in China, I can say that Nixon is one of the most famous US presidents in my country - everyone of my generaton has seen the famous picture of Nixon reaching his hands out to Zhou Enlai in Beijing, commecing a historic diplomatic relationship. It is truly refreshing and a bit spine-chilling to hear his views from years ago matching exactly what is taking place today.

Man, wish we had presidents that were this articulate these days
Too bad elections became a line in the sand playground fight where people are more worried about "our guy" winning than finding someone who works for all sides, American citizens, regardless of the party they came out of. It's a vicious cycle of one party winning, undoing everything the former party did, only to lose the next vote for accomplishing nothing and the cycle repeating. US is a two headed dragon trying to bite each head off, not realizing if one dies, the other bleeds out too. Honestly the way 2024 election is currently shaping up to be, no matter which side wins, Half the country loses and the other half settles for less.

Nixon is often viewed by historians who study US presidents as an example of a very capable leader with very few moral qualms about using the ends to justify the means.

Intelligent people who are working against your interests are the second worst kind of enemy you can have, short of a fool who has little regard for the destruction they cause in their shortsightedness and impulsiveness (like Trump).
Nixon was probably our best foreign policy president. He knew and could see things unfold. He nailed the current situation.
He was definitely. Maybe only Iranians could say perfectly that who is the best USA president in the aspect of foreign policy. I’m replying from Iran. Everyone here loves Nixon and praises his friendship with the Shah.
I find it ironic that current commentators can’t see the dissolution of The US 🇺🇸 as we speak and Nixon didn’t see that coming. Russia 🇷🇺 is only a threat now because your 🇺🇸 elites created that scenario by aggressively pursuing the demise of the Russian Federation.
@benyaminpourmohamad4370 Nixon understood the balance necessary to keep peace. The war between Russia and Ukraine for example is a failure to maintain the balance between the East and West. Diplomacy and empathy are lost arts in the US government.
You’re replying from Iran? The Same Iran that controls all internet access for its people, patrolling your web searches ?
The Iran whose leadership is descended from those who removed the shah!?!

If you like Nixon's analysis, you might want to read Lew Timofejew's "Whom to support in Russia" from 1990 - a guide for Western politicians and business leaders, clearly naming the parties in Russia that has strong tendencies to return to Russian dictatorship of one kind or another
Nixon was an extremely intelligent man. He nailed it here.
At the time, he was seen as a 'Cowboy' of intellect, by his equals...!
Nowadays, the bar of political intellect in general, is so low, that they praise him now, as highly intelligent!?!!
Despite all his moral flaws, one thing that cannot be debated about Nixon is that he he had a truly deep understanding and impressive foresight when it comes to foreign policy.
Having lived through that time, I cannot imagine that there was a chance that he could have lost w/o cheating as the incumbent. Too bad! It makes no sense.

The key here is that he was able to predict the future so clearly because he had studied history with such clarity.
There's a reason Yuri Bezmenov told us to remember your history.

He totally was, and I say that as a lifelong Democrat. Nixon's problems were personal hubris and pathological paranoia. I'd much rather have him running as a Republican this year than Trump, by a light-year.
He was a helluva lot better than LBJ, the worst president of all time. Yes, even worse than the last 3.
Yea. he got a bad rap in history. Was not a bad president at all. He just got caught where other Presidents haven't. Plus now, Democrats have a free reign since the FBI, CIA and media would cover anything nefarious up.
I miss impartial news organizations.
@@deadlyoneable I don't think LBJ was the worst.
Id say Andrew Jackson was
But I do agree LBJ was terrible
Even though I'm a Democrat I fucking hate what LBJ did
Merci Presidente Nixon Foundation
This man had a grasp of foreign politics that few politicians or presidents have had since.
No wonder he worked out the visit to China and stunned the world amidst the Cold War.
Kissinger helped too
What are you talking about? The US is still hated across the world from his policies. He is responsible for starting the chain of events that killed half of Cambodia. He made sure the genocide in Guatemala escalated. I could go on and also mention that other presidents around the same time made similar mistakes but Nixon stands out as having zero foresight along with zero respect for human life and suffering.
Agreed!
😂 a president says ONE good thing and dumb people like you already saying he’s smart.
I was only a kid during his Presidency. My mom voted for Humphrey! Listening to his interviews now is a realization of how underrated he was in his own time! How we could use his insight and wisdom today!
in geopolitics he sure was a genius. In internal politics, he was a crook, and his "war on drugs" gave the sorry situation we're in.

Best way to say it! Nixon’s ideal role would be a Secretary of State or an ambassador, NOT a president. The EPA was founded under him, so I could also see him as the department head of that, but might not enjoy that role 😅
Underrated? Have you seen the electoral map of the 68 and 72 elections?

Have you heard of the Watergate Scandal?
@theparadigm8149 the people turned on Nixon by that point, no shit. I'm talking about his political fortunes at his peak. He was basically a God, until 73/74. And even then a LOT of Republicans back then and for decades felt a simmering bitterness at how they thought Nixon was treated by the scandal.
This man was a visionary who understood exactly what was going to happen. It is as if he is speaking to us beyond the grave. RIP sir.
So intelligent articulate and his words still ringing true today in 2024. Pres Nixon was a genius on world affairs..
