I love you Mr Vidal . you mean a lot to me

Boy oh boy this guy is great

All great Empires fall and from one Brit to our American cousins your time will come as did the British Empire, Roman etc......... All things MUST come to an end......... However hopefully from the ashes we may learn to respect all human and animal life on this fragile planet that we ALL sit upon. RIP Mr Vidal.

This is GREAT,Truth is always refreshing, thank you very much.

I only came to really appreciate Vidal a few years before he died . I thought he was just another political and social gadfliy. But when I realized how close he was to the D.C. inner circle as a boy: through his father, grandfather and the Achinslosses, I came to respect his wit, his sarcasm, and his truth, which he observed and absorbed throughout his life.

R.I.P. Gore Vidal

fascinating

Why video clips of cats playing piano have more views than Gore Vidal, is a mystery I will never understand...

I liked Gore Vidal. He did a great interview on the 'South bank show',back in the 80's which I often ruminate on when thinking about WW3. But he's wrong when he says that Roosevelt said "yes" when Churchill asked him if he wanted him to "beg like fala"; he wasn't capable of that degree of honesty,the skunk. And if you discount the atomic bomb, he was wrong about America,and not Russia, wining WW2

How I miss his mind.

JA was arrested in the embassy April 19 , 2019 Julian had a magazine with Gore Vidal on the cover as he was taken out in Hand cuffs ... #TheGreatAwaking #Q #WWG1WGA

@souljaEXVOTO you make a very good point. Those that travel in circles of red think in terms of red. It could do the red and the blue circles to intermingle on the perhaps chance of something purple...for the better of this nation.

An nteligent American that knowes the truth ,and is not scared to Expose the American meath ..

1:00 ff: The British did a similar thing in the Napoleonic Wars, lending money to everyone, stepping in late with their own troops, and claiming victory were theirs, and the post war Loan Repayments to boot. It served them well for nigh on 80 years, whereas the US seems to have only for 50-60 years from their iteration of the strategy.

The British won the Battle of Britain with Commonwealth assistance. Of particular note were Polish pilots and Canadian material aid and the pilot training programme created in Canada for Commownealth pilots to have a safe place to train. American help was huge, and most certainly welcome, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it was own by the Americans.

i quite enjoy listening to mr. vidal's point of view. my only complaint would be that hearing his voice instills in me an inexorable desire to clear my throat

And that is why Roosevelt was poisoned.

India was not cut loose until 1947, under Mr. Attlee.

scarcely credible? I didn't used to believe such corruption could survive for so long undetected either. But it does. And to a greater extent than most people will ever accept.

At the time, all the oil was in the USA, they were the leading producers, Saudi Arabia was still an afterthought. It was too bad that the USA could not have lead the League of Nations after WW1, we might have had a 20th century free of fresh new Communist tyranny and old world Monarchical tyranny, but oh well. We missed the moment, WW2 was too late, the USSR too powerful.

I don't know if I like or dislike Gore Vidal. Seems to me he was a professional contrarian. Eleanor didn't have anything to with the creation of the UN. Her husband didn't involve her in the UN. Harry Truman did that.

Long live communism and FDR

For all his insight and intelligence, his view that the US should have remained aloof of WWII is inane. Even though the Germans were stymied by Russia, there was nothing stopping the Japanese. And in far less than a decade either of the Axis powers would have developed atomic capability. I’ve watched a lot of interviews, and I don’t remember Gore once ever complimenting any US official except for his grandfather the senator. By this point in his life, according to people who knew him well, he was depressed and had become a drinker of hard liquor.

in what is this news?

America is in deep sleep …😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

"all Stalin asked for was to be treated as normal superpower" - what does that even mean in Gore's mind, it seems to me that he talks about this claim rather a naive manner.

whats the matter buddy, don't like the truth?

how u can find solution without knowleg??? joyless!!! what do you want; bugs bunny? this is politics. or is it to much for right now?

i think you are the one who don't know what he saying.
