      just compare previous leaders with current old men, one is completely out of mind, can't find his way, too old to do anything. Another one is like "Nobody can make a wall like me! If I was president, I would sit down and talk with china and talk with Taiwan and war will end in 24 hours"

      When McNamara/Kissinger/Nixon and any other US decision maker before, I will say, 1975, wanted to do something, they would hide it under four layers of coercion, seven layers of obscurity and twenty five layers of denial. Today you have Senator Lindsey Graham stating on national television: a) "The money we spend in Ukraine is an excellent investment because Russians are dying" and b) "We will fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.".

      Any intellect not clouded by a "fantasy of ethnic superiority" would know China's rise to the top was eventual. China and India were the #1 economies In the World for 1800 years of the Gregorian Calender (before Western Colonialism entered China). Nixon was a president that considered American Interests first (not Israel's). Therefore, aiding Taiwan is simply a means to "control" the rise of China...it wouldn't matter if China was Republican and Taiwan was Communist. Remember, China and Taiwan is an "unresolved" Civil War between the Republican Government of Chiang Kai Shek (rightly called "cash my check" in the West) and the CPC (Communist Party of China - Mao Tse Tung). There is no disagreement between either governments regarding the geography of China. That is, Taiwan is a part of China.

His point was after the fall of soviet union, the USA had an opportunity to , like never before, set the country forward with un ending prosperity, security, and influence! He was 95 percent right on everything. Basically, he stated brilliantly we have to be diplomatically proactive and don't drop the ball or else.....Islamic terrorist activity worldwide (9/11), rise of north Korea going nuclear, Iran gaining to much wealth and directing upheaval especially in regards to Israel (10/7/23), China and be careful of its influence over American corporations, involve and help Russia develop sustainable economic system or else a putin authoritarian type will come about because that's all the Russian people have ever known (Ukraine anybody?). Also, strengthen NATO and European economies to preserve western civilization. He was foreseeing mass migration and too much cultural liberalism. Clinton, Bush, and Obama definitely DROPPED THE BALL.

    Not being a political expert myself, his opinion and comments seem to have lots of UNcommon sense and basic down-to-earth wisdom:
    "Maintain a 'presence' (militarily or otherwise) in Taiwan but no so much that Peking (Beijing) is provoked.
    Keep great relationships with Peking. First and foremost this is the key to prevent China from invading Taiwan. If China is provoked (due to bad relationships with them) or China becomes too influenced by Russia.....China will likely invade.......and there's nothing we can do about it."
    It's a delicate situation, according to Nixon, pure and simple and needs to stay that way. Makes sense.

If we never opened relations with them, I think both of our countries would be better off now due to them becoming our main competition replacing the USSR after 1991. Perhaps even the communist party would have lost power in the 90s like almost all the rest, as enabling them to enrich themselves and thrive by opening relations with us, removed there terrible quality of life therefore preventing them from living in the conditions that would have led to the overthrow of there system.

      That was a great scene. That movie made a very big impression on me. President Nixon was a Quaker. I love that faith. In the film Dr. Kissinger knelt and prayed with him. Both gentlemen provided service to our country. Just recently at 100 years old, Dr. Kissinger visited President Xi. God bless them and God rest their souls.💜🕊️💜

    It’s much to be said about Nixon, but like JFK, he had deep political knowledge. This knowledge among presidents seems to have declined since then.

    The problem was US didn't provide the weapon that equates to the level of the threat, otherwise Taiwan would have Aegis equipped destroyers, even F-15 since the 2000s.

      The United States has not recognized the existence of Taiwan since the Shanghai Communique in 1972, and the person who signed the Shanghai Communique happened to be Nixon.

      @@ggg-wt7jw That's not the point. Taiwan Relation Act of 1979, a US domestic law, requires US to sell Taiwan the weapon it deem necessary for its defense against China. Nixon said it as much in the clip. But US government from Ford to Clinton basically don't sell what Taiwan needs because they fear damaging US ties with China.

      ​@@muic4880That's because of the 1982 U S. PRC Joint Communique, at that time, the United States was very pessimistic about Taiwan's development prospects and decided to reduce arms sales to Taiwan, ultimately completely stopping it
