The Moderate Voice: Obama's Pragmatic Foreign Policy: Richard and Henry Return....

  • Don Quijote · 1 year ago
    I think Obama is following the kind of national security/foreign policy espoused by Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger.


    The kind that extended the Vietnam war another four years by going around the LBJ and undermining his attempt at peace in 1968?

    or the kind that dropped an estimated two million tons of bombs on Laos, a country that we were not a war with, destabilizing it's society and leafing to the takeover by the Kmer Rouge?

    or the Kind that plotted to overthrow a democratically elected government in Chile and gave them the joys of Dictatorship, Torture and Disappearances for the next 16 years?

    Who said signing deals with China and the USSR wasn't controversial? The USSR was the alie of the North Vietnamese and both China and the USSR were REAL existential threats to the US. In todays "GWOT" who is a threat level equal to the USSR?
