What a wonderful, informative and candid interview with a straight shooter. This intelligent interview should be mandatory, even the interviewers are in awe. It's all about common sense. Well done General Walters.
Ended up on his Firing Line episode and then youtube sent me here. Vernon Walter is the kind of guy you pick for a school project if you want to go off the map and really catch the class & teacher off guard. Like Walter Reed or C. Everett Coop.
Vernon Walters always struck me as a man of rare depth and decency. Liked and admired him very much. Clearly very intelligent and learned, but also humble and genuine. A credit to any government at any time. He left a lasting impression on me (favorably), and not many in politics do. Miss him very much.
What a fascinating career this man had. Vernon Walters is a perfect example of a loyal American who did his part in consolidating America's place in the post WWII era, right up to his vital role as ambassador to West Germany in helping to usher in the end of the Cold War.
This gentleman was a true American Patriot. Look at the emotion in his face as he talks about the end of the Cold War and the Russian collapse. When is the last time you saw a current politician and or leader who loves this great country as this man does?? Gen Walters was a true American hero...
Encontrei um livro dele, por acaso, que foi traduzido aqui no Brasil como "Missões Silenciosas". Estou adorando a leitura e as histórias que ele passou ao lado dos brasileiros.
It was this jerk who dissuaded poverty, death, unemployment, lack of basic sanitation in Brazil, when he overthrew John Goulart. Since then, Brazil has been fighting successive American coups, implanted by this dirty, diabolical company.
When he lists off the very rich resources of Russia...platinum, gold, oil, etc., you have been told why the US is so hostile to Putin in 2020...not Trump's election per se but Trumps willingness to TALK to Putin. Kissinger believes it's wise to TALK with Russia. To bring them in a little, to better confront China. But there is another camp in US circles that want to deal with China first. And so it goes. It's a great discussion of real geo-politik...of which Vernon is highly literate.
With all due respect to Vernon...he is full of purposeful fog in regard to intelligence operations. He's very clever. Very knowledgeable. And knows the truth. But I repeat, he is blowing alot of smoke. I do respect however his frankness in regard to military matters, where he is rather brutish, if not brutal...but then that's an occupational requirement.

he is the MAN...THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE RIGHT PLACE IN THE RIGHT MOMENT.
This was amazing. Front seat to history.
