About communism being defeated but freedom still being on trial, because of communism?

Heʻs like Nixtrodamus!

​@@klmullins65 kissenger damned us.

And that is to be compared with blabbing idiot that is the current leader of the republican party...

Thats the part he describes after missed opportunities. Obama rejected Putins peace offer. trump then only signaled "nothing missed & nothing new since general Custer".

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.

He wasnt

Its not really a predictions. He just said "we destabilized them now they are not stable" like no shit

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.

Ever heard about self fulfilling prophecies?

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

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.

Haha, good catch!

Was looking for this comment 😂

yeah no kidding, like wtf lol

That's to show you who really controls the media today! Right?

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?

Were you alive when he was President? How old? Watergate is nothing compare to what has gone on 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!

He sold us out to China. Opened the door for communism to take over the US, which it has.

Ok he was an intelligent criminal and yeah, not nearly as bad as Trump.

Nixon was an EXTREMELY intelligent man.. He got caught up in the dirty games of politics, and he paid a price.

Actually Nixon was no good because he gave all of our manufacturing jobs away to China . Now China owns us. ☝😳

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.

Maybe that's why they called him Tricky Dick?

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.

Yeah, not like the present cabal who don’t know shit.

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.

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

Absolutely

He didn’t predict, he was just saying that Russia was at a crossroad

His world was easier than today’s world.

He was. His China deal with Kissinger effectively set the stage for the end of the Cold War. The USSR couldnt win without China

Yes. Never thought of him as stupid. Plenty of other things but never stupid.

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? Nevermind. I don't feel like going down that rabbit hole.

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.

While he would've probably done get foreign moves. The main focus should've eventually shifted back to America itself. Which is part of what he's saying here. He had done that, in an illegal way. He would've been emboldened to break the legal system altogether.

@E.V.A.N-COProductions After the chaotic 1970s, our very own hardliners were emboldened by the failures in the world stage and the internal economy. That brought about a new America First movement using the Christian Right as its base and personified by Reagan. So what Nixon correctly predicted for the Russian people also came true for us.

And think he just listened to the DNC phone line. OBAMA sent the CIA to entrap and set up Trump and 5 nations to plant evidence and lied to the Supreme Court to do it all. NOTHING HAPPEND TO HIM.

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 ...

@@cekuhnenwell good thing their both resting in 🔥 flames.

Yes Trump boy Nixon The crooked republican president out the white house 🏡

Said same before I saw your Post we old souls 65this year LMFAO 😂

all the categories and concepts he uses have shown their weakness to explain the world as it is nowadays: the American "freedom", the caricatural thinking in terms of "communism", "despotism" and "democracy" And the definition of Russian imperialism without mentioning other major imperialism of the 20th century (namely France, US and UK)

I don't think he's wrong that imperialism is a larger part of Russian identity. The other powers you named have felt the cognitive dissonance of espousing values of freedom and incongruous behavior. Russia never has. It's been one tyrannical system after another.

@@jayabee if by "cognitive dissonance" you mean incoherence between values and actions, i'd rather call it propaganda. All imperialist states developp a moral justification to their action, manufacturing consent of a large part of the people. Colonialist imperialism didn't have any problems with aknowledging invading and stealing other countries, remember it was "the white man's burden". Moreover i'd argue that Russia is "less or more imperialist" (if that makes any sense) or authoritarian than any mentioned countries

Smart and profoundly corrupt.

He was knew about the Juws

​@@RossklesWatergate was laughable compared to crossFireHurricane

@@matthewmosier8439 Are you being serious? Trump officials had direct contact with Russian intelligence and you think the over-zealous investigation into that was worse than Watergate?? You people are next level delusional jeez.

Eloquent? Nixon's disciple Roger Stone is behind Trump's despotism in America.

It's ai

​@@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

As opposed to the cardboard cutouts we have to choose from in '24. 🫣

Me too, I admired his clear concise delivery.

No brain farts lol

If you think that's impressive, you should hear (JFK) Kennedy.

i don't have a problem with Biden he still speaks the truth

Same here. Honestly didn’t look beyond his disgraced Presidency before seeing these clips. He had his flaws (like most of us) but what an extremely knowledgeable and intelligent mind.

the same media machine that destroys and lies today. i wonder which 6 companies own the corporate media structure. i wonder who their CEOs are, and what their vision for the future is …

This is why as a black man in my 60s he was and still is my favorite President!!!

​@@johnnymcafee01 What did Nixon ever do for you black people, aside from inviting Sammy Davis, Jr, to visit him at the White House?

Both things can be simultaneously true. I hate him precisely because he was intelligent, but working against people like me for his own gain. 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).

You had Obama…

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

​@@karlgroendal Lol like 10 years ago. Now we screwed.

​@@karlgroendal I think he's retired or going to do so soon.

Obama
