Nixon's profound understanding of foreign affairs is simply masterful. He's well spoken, articulate, lays out his plans thoughtfully. Nixon knew how to play chess on the world stage, and he does not get enough credit for this!
It's a pity we don't have such politicians as Nixon today
LOL! How long have you been a Nixon foundation employee?
He was a great lawyer.
The same exact strategy could be used to bring the Chinese to their senses in the South China Sea and stop their aggression towards their neighbors.
Love him or hate him, and this has been said a lot in these comments, Nixon was one smart dude.
SPOT ON!
He speaks like a grown up !
I like that a lot !
A national treasure.
They destroyed this man because they hated him. And he was brilliant.
Who is they? It can only be the same They, the plutocratic Western ruling class who is attempting to destroy Trump this is very moment
His foreign diplomacy efforts and understanding of World Affairs were unmatched
Didn't necessarily hate him. He was popular enough.
But there was a mess up. He didn't manage to contain the Watergate scandal... Because containing it ran into the problem that US public servants found it against their conscience to suppress the investigation.
And then the Nixon tapes revealed too many of his private conversations where he wasn't maintaining his Presidential baring.
It was unfortunate... "Better a wise enemy than foolish friends" as it were.
He destroyed himself; protecting CIA activities on American soil
Always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself.
I would pay money to see this man debate either Trump or Biden. He'd mop the floor with both of them.
With AI, that may be possible. Develop a Nixon AI robot that is programmed based on Nixon's approach and feeds all the world's current geopolitical facts and details along with all historical lessons learned. It would be fantastic to watch.

prefer bidon's "anyway" opposite nixon's dogmatic. AI Bidon win.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
@@fmayer1507 Except the programmers would use Nixon's words to project some backward, globalist worldview he would've found ridiculous, asinine, and anti-American.
Excellent job Mr. PRESIDENT
Today he is a saint compared to current leadership.
While far more professional than our current trash filth media, it is pretty clear that she isn’t giving him a lot of ground when he gives a substantive answer. He then just goes on the give a more thorough answer. Brilliant, cordial, and better than her.
Well, how do we need this man now!!
What a brilliant President Nixon is !!
Richard Nixon was too distinguished and too eloquent for today's politicians to even emulate.
It's depressing how superficial and unserious our politicians are today.
Obama was equally eloquent, although unlike Nixon he was more concerned with domestic policy particularly around healthcare and the economy
@@amazin7006 Yeah that seem to be his platform
@@amazin7006Obama was “eloquent” in his words while saying nothing of substance. He was not a deep thinker.
@@InqvisitorMagnvs I disagree. He has plenty of substantive speeches and lectures on UA-cam the one he gave to young voters about political cynicism is still salient today
Just absolutely brilliant.
I think you’re swayed too much, by his demeanor
@@Rickets1911 I am absolutely not. I know about the historical situations he’s discussing. His demeanor is the cherry on top.
@@robertortiz-wilson1588 he didn’t do us any favors by “withdrawing from Vietnam with honor “ , and then keeping us in for two more years ..
However, I do admit that he hit a home run by ‘opening China’ to trade with the west.
He was most definitely, the CIA’s boy. . not that there’s anything much wrong with that.. but that batch of characters has been known to rely on deception.. hence Watergate,, etc
Geopolitical Genius 🇺🇸
Most misunderstood and underrated US President.
She’s a mess and he’s intelligent…….its a snapshot of current problems
She's who created and started the View...I'd figure she didn't intend for it to become what it became..but she started it.
I truly believe Nixon and then Reagan saved us from nuclear war. Both were masterful at world chess.
Barbara Walters was so god damn obnoxious
May she rest in peace
With her tube of lubricant.
You mean Barbara Walters? "the reporter" lmfao
Gilda Radner did her justice 🤣
She's the most annoying voice I've ever heard!!!
Barbara Walters reminded me of Derek Zoolander when he said "but why male models?" after David Duchovny spent 5 minutes explaining "why male models".
Sometimes it's necessary to repeat things for clarity. I don't recall why it had to be male models, and I also didn't know what Russia was doing in Ethiopia.
1:24 Very interesting and telling body language: as she leans in, he sits more upright to pull away. You can tell it really bugged her and was in her subconscious because she immediately says, “let’s get closer”, which doesn’t really fit all that well with the context of the topic they were discussing.
The more I watch him, the more I like him.
I think he was set up back when he was the president.
imagine Biden answering such questions
or trump they are both bad choices sadly.
@@Shane-gc2eg while I do think the american binary system is weird I do think Trump could actually answer questions compared to Biden
@@badmonkey2468You clearly don’t pay attention then lol. Trump is a total idiot who knows nothing about politics. If you recall, Trump couldn’t even handle Biden in their debate lmao
Where has Sai gone? (Saigon)
First and only 15 minutes late, what surprises me is how highly he thought of Russians despite the communism they were under. Chinese too of course which he is definitely correct about but in particular the Russians and his rather benevolent views of them. It is a magnanimity that I find difficult to emulate despite how necessary it was, still is. Edit: Wait Wait Wait, détente with containment? Okay, that is more believable. I was wondering why America was sitting idle when so many countries were falling to communism and I am glad some voices were haranguing the government. I need someone to explain this détente thing now.
I am 64, remember Nixon well. That is how our leaders spoke back them. They were cultured people for the most part - no name calling or personal attacks. It was a serious eloquent time.
America cannot Stop the earth spinning
Just like it cannot Stop the North Vietnam United Vietnam
@@WingkKong It maybe would not stop it forever but as North-Korea shows, it could prevent a takeover.
@@johnnotrealname8168 Why the America left South Vietnam
They should stay in South Vietnam
@@WingkKong I agree.
If Baba Wawa would just shut up!
Definitely the most misunderstood president in history, but Detente is the clearest example of where Nixon was wrong and Reagan was right. Nixon's whole attitude toward the Soviets and their satellite states was "Let's figure out how to get along as best as we can, minimize damage, and keep things contained," while Reagan's whole approach to the Soviets was simply, "We win, they lose." In essence, Nixon was right at the retail level but wrong at the corporate level.
Even Reagan would talk to Soviet leaders. No name calling like Biden calling Putin " crazy" last week. He is not.
@@scottlaux6934
Putin is demented.
Agreed. I think Nixon's problem was that he didn't grasp the importance of public relations. Nixon wanted to treat the Soviet Union like a formidable chess opponent, while Reagan understood that if global opinion could be turned against the Soviets on their dismal human rights record, they would be on the backfoot strategically.
@@stevej71393so what after all you still have a hostile russian Which has the ability to destroy America
Good comments. I think the difference was that Nixon was seeing the world as it existed, while Reagn was seeing the world through the emerging neo-Con world view: That the US must defeat the Soviets and Communism.
Nixon realized that Communism had its merits among Third World nations, and that opposing it in those environments would likely grow into mission creep. He was not a neo-Con who was determined to pay the cost in American lives. As an example, look at the bloodbath in El Salvadore and Nicaragua.
Reagan's team complimented his own belief that Communism must be defeated in detail - never to return. Also, Reagan saw the fall of the Berlin Wall as justification for all the chest thumping that occurred among those neo-Cons in America. I remember eveyone that was anybody in DC taking the Victory Lap in public. Later a certain Russian ex-KGB officer would not forget that humiliation. I don't think Nixon would have allowed the huge public displays of hubris - knowing what could happen in the future.
Fight and oppose rather than Resolve is the huge fallacy of diplomacy. If you don't approve of others, consider relieving them.
I think we are returning to the 1929 boarder.
Well, i suggest Mr. Vanocur, that if you knew the president, that was probably just a facetious remark.
That reporter she iwas there covering the 2500 Persian anniversary, who is her?
Barbara walters
Barbara Walters
a very popular news anchor; she also interviewed castro.
@@luchm4046 yeah I saw it
@@luchm4046 yes she was there covering the 2500 Persian anniversary in Iran and interviewed the shah and shahbanu in in 1977
Wouldn't you like to watch a Nixon vs Biden debate
40 seconds in. 6 years ago? Wasn’t it 8 years ago? May 1972?
Nixon *did* mention the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, which happened December, 1979. It seems the president may have miscounted.
Ethopia:- ET + Hope + Ya (Extra Terrestrial Hope -> Ya)
Ba Ba Wa Wa.
President Nixon forgets, he as Vice President went to Afghanistan and upon returning cute assistance by half; the Russians were more than happy to replace that assistance and here we are.
Not much fun to be little people standing in the way of superpowers titans doing their titanic politics.
BW is so unprofessional, even back then.
Castro:- Caste + RO :=Caste-> Romania
I hope everyone sees the analogies that Nixon mentions in regards to Afghanistan as it relates to Ukraine. The West reacted with complete appeasement in 2014 when Putin annexed Crimea and fomented a separatist rebellion in Donbas. That appeasement and weakness led directly to Putin’s full scale invasion in 2022.
Are you joking me
America has been expanding is power to the east for 30 years
Just like Napoleon n Germany in ww2
Crimea and Sevastopol are Russian. The people there voted to become a part of Russia.
@@sliftylovesyouno, they didn't. Sham “referendum” conducted under the gunpoint is not a referendum.
@@run-of-the-mill Conducted under gunpoint? Show me some proof of soldiers coercing the Russian civilians of Crimea to separate.
@@sliftylovesyou ruZZian troops appeared on the peninsula as early as February 20th 2014 - almost a month before the so-called "referendum." That's when Crimea's occupation and annexation process began. Those taking part in this process were awarded ruZZia's Ministry of Assault "For the return of Crimea" medals (dated 20 February - 18 March 2014). Putin himself has occasionally admitted to the occupation and annexation in the wake of it (not right away, though; it took him a couple of years). The sham "referendum" was being conducted under factual ruZZian occupation lasting almost a month at that point. Before the "referendum", the actual Crimean government was dismissed and pro-ruZZIan Aksyonov one was installed instead. Do you really think people who had been living on the peninsula under ruZZian troops' control for almost a month prior to the "referendum" would have voted otherwise, not in the favor of ruZZia? Only complete fool would believe that. The occupation and annexation of Crimea was largely condemned by the international community and perceived for what it is, and not what ruZZia or its minions have tried to portray it was. You simply cannot say anything against all these arguments, so there's just no use replying it.
Compare Nixon to Biden and Trump. Nixon had a working adult brain producing intelligent responses to questions. Trump and Biden talk like they are still in high school. 😂
Better to ask, What would, or did Trump do with Russia? He already showed us that and much more !
Love and Understanding is a All engulfing Strategy ❤️🇺🇲🇷🇺🦾😇🕊️
This is why Kennedy was better
IMO- after reading previews of his book “ Beyond Peace,” President Nixon would support Ukraine with military equipment because of his idealist view of defeating Communism as President Nixon (paraphrasing him ). “Even my conservative Republicans oppose all military aid. We voted for it to deter Soviet aggression in Western Europe for decades and united allies to engage in the struggle. “
Walters was the worst thing to happen to American journalism. She turned everything into tabloid fodder.
Barbara Walters is patently trying too hard. It’s not a good look.
He knew foreign policy as well as anyone. The interviewer is annoying to listen to.
“the interviewer” is Barbara Walters. The most famous interviewer of all time.. requested by more presidents than anyone else in journalism
Yes, I know.
Weird how there's only positive comments here about someone so ignorant and naive
What country are you from?
@@gont183clearly from this country, but is most likely a dem voter.
@@andrewvanhalen1984 what country are you from?
I don't know how that could be in 1980 because he was impeached in 1974
He wasn’t speaking as the president at that time (that was jimmy carter) but as an elder statesman giving his pov in a television interview with Barbara Walters.
Nixon was never impeached.
Presidents don't lose their ability to speak after leaving office...
Can someone from US help me. Was Nixon really such a genius, or he was just full of shit? The way I see it at the moment, he was one of the greatest presidents ever.
Oh America is different that your era Nixon. It’s getting scre%d, which is good.😂❤
Oh, but we had him now as Republican Presidential nominee and soon to be President. What has happened ??
