President Richard Nixon Address to the Nation on the Situation in Southeast Asia, April 30, 1970

[@maninthemiddleground2316]

11:21 “We take this action not for the purpose expanding the war into Cambodia but for the purpose of ending the war in Vietnam” was very compelling 👍👍👍

[@ssnoc]

Nixon made the case to the American people by talking to them intelligently as adults - something that no other President since had the ability to do, least of all the current clown in office - as a result, Nixon won re-election and did indeed end the Vietnam war.

[@unassistedsuicide2243]

Nixon dragged out the withdrawal from Southeast Asia into his second term for pure political expediency. Further, the military conducted both air and ground operations in Cambodia against the NVA for year prior to this speech, and the pointless bombing continued late into August 1973. Nixon lied to the American public about the true nature of the war and our involvement in it. Moreover, unless you can reply with some convincing evidence by way of reference or link to establish your assertion that Biden’s conduct of our assistance to Ukraine isn’t above board, I’m going to assume you’re just talking out of your ass like every other sub-cretinous Trumpscab imbecile

[@maxaguero2984]

but Nixon was able to stop the war or not?

[@rgkavendek]

🤣😂🤣 Watergate anyone??? The “clown” of whom you SO ignorantly speak will have a MUCH better legacy than THAT clown!!! You must love criminal Presidents. 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

[@S0nyToprano]

People in general were more intelligent back then. Nowadays you gotta speak to an audience like they have a 6th grade education. All that to say, while this all sounds smart, he’s leaving A LOT on the table and like Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson, he was extremely dishonest about actions that widened the war in Vietnam like bombing Cambodia.

[@pneulancer]

He didn't "widen" the war; the Viet-Cong and N. Vietnamese were already in Cambodia.... They were also in Laos as well. He simply responded to the aggression of the NVA to prevent them from sending men and material into S. Vietnam from those two countries. @@S0nyToprano

[@johnh4434]

Had Johnson did a couple of years before that ( clean out the sanctuary ) the war outcome would be far more different

[@cubsfan1622000]

What makes you say that?

[@GymMusic-xq4nu]

Maybe not getting involved with a civil war to begin with.

[@pneulancer]

Because it would've prevented the North Vietnamese from funneling troops and weapons to the Viet Cong in South Vietnam. Also would have to do that in Laos as well.. ...That being said; the U.S. had no business being in South East Asia in the first place as the area was never of vital interest to them. @@cubsfan1622000

[@Thunderchild-gz4gc]

​@GymMusic-xq4nu it was a cold war proxy war and civil war, like Korea and elsewhere. Do some research .

[@Thunderchild-gz4gc]

He cared about Great Society bs more just to get black votes

[@maninthemiddleground2316]

9:50 explains everything well

[@stevebordelon5361]

The Kent State student protests where “Four Died in Ohio” occurred a few days after Nixon announced he was expanding the war to Cambodia.

[@Thunderchild-gz4gc]

The communists expanded it not Nixon.

[@truesonic669]

By 74 he was gone

[@bladez_tank4191]

[@michaelbrewder9508]

American College students set a world record for use of the term "Asshole" as they were watching this that has never come close to being beat to this day

[@TheHaydena76]

Yes, the colleges were and continue to be infiltrated by communist sympathizers.

[@starter47990]

Cambodia requested Nixon take action in Cambodia. Stop being ignorant

[@JackJohnson1970]

Cambodia requested US military assistance and intervention. Get your facts straight.

[@franklam2248]

VIET NAM SHOULD NOT DEPEND ON USA'S ECONOMIC AND MILITARY HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
