No prompter, no notes, no hesitation For 45 minutes. No abusive rhetoric. No threats. There is nothing not to love about this.

He often said the secret to extemporaneous speaking was preparation, preparation, preparation. He's 71 here but when he returned from a peace mission with Yeltsin at the age of 81, he was still able to address members of congress about the mission for an hour without notes. His voice had aged and he tired easier but the mind was still sharp as ever.

This is his most impressive performance, between his ideas and how fluidly he conveys them. He's entirely wrong when he gets to nuclear superiority (around the 15-minute mark), failing to debunk the observation that "enough is enough," but he's still great to watch.

I think the answer to that is simple. The New Left, those represented by McGovern and who Nixon defeated in 1972, have become the dominant force in the Democrat party and large parts of the communication, educational and business sectors. Until they are defeated, either in the boardrooms or the voting booth, this country will never be on the right path.

@@johnnotrealname8168Nixon learned to debate in college and came up in politics in the 40s and 50s before teleprompters were a thing. When giving formal speeches, he’d use a printed text or a teleprompter, but when giving press conferences and for other discussions, he’d usually go off his memory. He prepared for these types of appearances intensely, making notes and outlines. He was very skilled, that’s for sure, but by 1984, he had 40 years experience.

While Nixon certainly was on point, especially when talking on the long range future - no nuclear war, the rise of China - he did miss on one comment. The super hawks, as he called them, were right. Their application of pressure military and economic did lead to the collapse of the Soviets barely seven years later.

Why Nixon always talks about Soviet Union and crap like that?

@AmesGaltine 2 ай бұрын

You may want to read a little about the world as it was in the mid-80s. The Soviets had 4 different leaders from 1982 to 1985, two of them dying very quickly, before a youthful Gorbachev rose to power in 1985. This was before most of the world knew Gorbachev, whom Nixon quickly and rightly assessed as the most skilled and agile of any of the Soviet leaders he’d met in his life.

Nixon told Richard Reeves, one of his biographers, that the national interests of the US and of China were irreconcilable and would eventually lead to war: Either a cold war or a hot shooting war. Nixon further told Reeves that when that situation arises, the US president must do everything to forestall the conflict because the East, led by China would prevail over the West, led by the US: [ kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqGQnYiLncuDmsU. 1:16:51]. Nixon would be aghast and apoplectic with American presidential leadership since his death. Nixon’s description of the leadership of the Soviet Union in this video could easily be applied to the present day United States of America. “The Will always will defeat the sword.” Indeed.

I'm 31 years old in my opinion I believe Richard Nixon is one of the best orators of the last 70 years. Donald Trump being the second just because I believe he learned a lot from Nixon. They're trying to do to Trump what they did to Nixon and it's not going to happen. Both men genuinely care about country i believe. This speech really impressed me and I wasn't even 12 minutes into it. God bless Richard Nixon, Donald Trump, Israel, and the USA. 🇺🇲🙏🇮🇱

@@MarkNasuti I'm not sure I'd say Trump's speeches are like Hitler's but yea I would agree that Trump's oration skills pale in comparison to Nixon's. What I do think Trump is good at is shedding the fake facade that many Americans loathe in their politicians. He does not act professional or respectful, and while a good >50% of the population loathes that, a large amount also love him for it. People view that typical tame and professional demeanor in our politicians as being dishonest and love Trump for "saying it like it is". He's a very interesting character and I think that's what give him the cult of personality he has. He makes it very, very hard to support him a lot of the time, but I do understand why some people do. Though I think his inherently divisive nature has been awful for the country.

I think it was interesting that ex President Nixon should make this knind of peace and comprimise speech with the then Soviet Union, in 1984, when at that time the US under ex President Reagan was in the process of building a huge military presense in Europe that included Nuclear warheads in West Germany. There was a great fear in Europe that this was our Armageddon. All over Europe there were huge demonstions against the US foreign policy with respect to the unwieldy USSR. However much of this was abated in 1985 when Mikail Gorbachev became president of the USSR in 1985. Gorbachev using terms like glasnost and perestroika wanted to change and modernise the USSR. Gorbachev had a number a summits with Reagan. I think they became friends over the years.

@jstasiak2262 10 ай бұрын

I’m sorry, RFK jr is a lightweight and a stooge. He is already beholden to the Israeli lobby. He would not do anything to halt the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank. During the Yom Kippur/ Ramadan War in 1973, Israel was totally surprised by the attack from Egypt and Syria and was losing the war. Nixon-at the height of Watergate-ordered a massive airlift and re-supplied Israel. This allowed Israel to gain the Initiative. Ariel Sharon was on his way to cross the Suez canal to attack into Egypt. Nixon put the kibosh on Sharon and made him stay put in the Sinai. This ended the war without either side being victorious and led eventually to peace between Egypt and Israel. Nixon, being a Quaker, would never tolerate the present Israeli moral turpitude. He would never allow one side to annihilate the other. RFK jr, like Biden, would. RFK jr is a twerp.
