Jeeze, blaming Nixon for the Vietnam War is laughable. By the time he came into office the US was already on the way out (Lyndon Johnson was already pulling troops out).
- bediger4000 3y agoI'm not blaming him for the war that had been ongoing since the 40s, but rather what he did during his administration. He and Kissinger bombed Cambodia. There's some evidence to suggest that Nixon and Kissinger manipulated the 1968 peace talks to give Nixon an election advantage. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/02/us/politics/nixon-tried-to-spoil-johnsons-vietnam-peace-talks-in-68-notes-show.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/02/us/politics/nixon-tried-t...
