How do you stop them from using the HCMT? Send troops into both of those countries and expand the war? Something that the people were completely against......also, there were trip wires, that were unknown at that time, that when hit, could bring in the USSR or the Chinese. Invading Laor or Cambodia, openly, certainly could have been one of those tripwires.
I’ve read accounts that Nixon scuttled a LBJ peace deal prior to the 68 election. There are LBJ phone recordings of him discussing this with a Senator. As an 8th grader, I watched our withdrawal from Viet Nam on TV as the North Vietnamese moved on our embassy as we helicoptered our people out. I was very young when Vietnam started and ended but it was on TV every night when Walter Cronkite gave us the news. I was also still young as Watergate played out but it was TV news back then, we believed in Cronkite and Viet Nam and Watergate were the news items that I recall with some MLK and RFK mixed in.
Humphrey knew about it, but did not have the gnadskis to bring it up because of his sense of decency. Add to that he was hogtied to LBJs Viet Nam policy, and could not break free of it, losing the 1968 election, and Tricky Dick later went on to bomb Cambodia.
@@BenLewis-zi8wg Incorrect- North VietNam brought control and stability to eastern Cambodia. Then civilians were carpet-bombed. They were not the enemy, because it is their country. Then Nixon threw support to Pol Pot. Your turn.
Highly disagree. Had you said Vietnamese, I would have agreed with you. Almost everyone that has invaded Vietnam has been defeated. This includes other Asian countries such as Thailand and China, throughout history.
I think Nixon ‘s pledge to the South Vietnamese government was a genuine one; however, it was politically beneficial to him to expedite the signing of the peace agreement in order to withdraw the U.S. troops from Vietnam. Honoring such a pledge by the U.S. government including the Congress was his secondary concern. U.S. allies will forever subject to uncertainty of the U.S. politics when they are dependent on the U.S. military aids, except Israel which has almost all U.S. politicians (both Republicans and Democrats) under its influence. South Vietnam was one of the victims and so was Afghanistan. If Trump wins the coming election or the Republicans win both houses in November, Ukraine will be another victim.
Your comment on our uncertainty is definitely true, depending on who gets in. But DO NOT DOUBT NIXON'S PLEDGE. Had he not been subject to the coup, NV in 1975 would have been decimated by our airpower just as they were in the spring 72 offensive. And in 75 we had vastly more smart weapons than before.
The Bela Abzug Congress abandoned the South Vietnamese, who fought on successfully for almost two years. But the anti-war movement wanted the communists to win and they did win. Ukraine is totally different. No one ever threatened Ukraine until it stupidly decided that nonalignment wasn’t good enough.
@@conradgaarder So true on absug and dems. Did you know when they were close to getting Nixon out she and some others did not want the Congress to approve of a VP. If Nixon left the Dems would "retake White House", via speaker of House. They have always been the enemy. obamascum is the one who allowed Putin to go into Ukraine in 2014. Remember the Hot-mic in 2012 when he told Russian pres after he gets back in they will have room to maneuver.
@@conradgaarder Non-alignment has been the best political equilibrium for Ukraine in dealing with its big Russian cousin. Unfortunately, the recently elected governments since 2014 decided to join the NATO alliance which has been expanding eastward for the past 2-3 decades. With NATO at its doorstep and no natural geographic barriers to defend itself, Russia is reacting on its basic instinct. Tragic indeed!
@@thethird3d And zero understanding of how the war was going. The NV were never going to give up. They had been losing the battles, but winning the war.

The problem with the Nixon Foundation is that the Gannon interviews are disproven by the archival record and the tapes. Use the archive… not obsolete interviews.
Exactly. Primary source material should always be used as much as possible and be given greater weight than the secondary sources. Too many secondary sources and you start getting yourself exposed to revisionist perspectives, whether intentional or not.
You might be right, but these interviews with this interviewer are much more pleasant to watch because Nixon feels so relaxed with him, and tells his side of the story - real or imagined.
@markberryhill2715 ... that's very valid ... and what Nixon says here should still be taken into consideration and evaluated against everything we know. More importantly are the President's papers and documents from his time in the Oval office.
@@dino.jay2007Was the clip on Nixon’s views of the media’s power, and on how they thought of his wife accurate? Just curious because those appear to have also had this interviewer.
@@larryg7109 when he was running for President in 1968, Nixon said that unless American policy changed, the United States could look forward to seven more years of war. Nixon was elected, American policy did not change and we had seven more years of war.
I’ll say it again If anyone of influence had been paying attention during the end of world war 2 both Red China and Vietnam could have been avoided. The signs were clear, you didn’t have to be a mind reader, but predominant problems distracted and took precedent.
So true. It was Truman who abandoned Chiang and allowed Mao to take over China. And that caused the wars in Korea and Vietnam.. Dems are and have always been the enemy.
Welcome home soldier🇺🇸🫡 thank you for your service sir. Vietnam vets deserved a proper welcome but people were brainwashed by the media back in those days. Too many hippies around you dig lmao.
Funny you should spin it like that Dick, considering they caught you on tape talking with Kissinger about how the agreement would hold up for a while but only long enough for the North to recover, then the South was screwed. But hey, let's not let anything like facts get in the way of a good yarn.
Come the interviews with Nixon in the late 80s/early 90s, he was very careful to only describe Kissinger’s strengths and never his character or whether or not he was a benefit to his country. Even Nixon came to understand Kissinger was a monster and sociopath towards the end of his life. 20 years is a long time to rethink your days in office decades ago.
7:13 South Vietnam was never free; it was a dictatorship run by ruthless people. If the USA would have helped Ho Chi Minh, as he asked them for - the country would not have been communistic, but democratic.
You are completely wrong. Did you live there then? Do you know what the North did to the South after April 30, 1975? Do some research and you will see who really were ruthless people. Ho chi Minh was no hero, he had never been a nationalist. He was a hypocrite, liar and war instigator. It was him who brought communism to Vietnam.
The British and Japanese military kept the Vietnamese freedom fighters at bay until the French returned to impose their imperialist rule. What happened to the French and the Americans is now history...They were defeated
Kissinger as an Errand Boy delivered instructions from David Rockefeller Bros to several Administrations. Hank was employed by the Bros from mid 1950's.

I think it was because he still saw it in terms of the Cold War (Where are you getting 4 million from? The maximum I can find is 3,000,000 and I suspect that is exaggerated.) and India trying to take over Pakistan rather than India freeing Bangladesh. Also what exactly could he do to stop it? He was already trying to stop Cambodia from being genocided and the Americans hated that.
