he was yelling and screaming at kissinger and kissinger was sitting there, and kissinger at one point said, are you done? let's try to end the war. respected kissinger, despite all the americans had done, he really respected kissinger. a very interesting character. , as part of the strategy, we are going to engage, the soviets were going to engage the chinese. ining goes to china february, -- mixing goes to china in 1972 and then to moscow. get though he is trying to the chinese and soviets to help, there's not much they can do. infreaks out the leadership hanoi to cut the war short and give nixon the agreement he so desperately wanted. b-52s, they can carry poundi think 100 500 bombs. they can carry a lot of alms. .- of bombs typically they were only used in the south, but under nixon, they like -- they started flying more regularly to the north. everything gets destroyed in a two mile long by half a mile long walks. -- long box. it really screws with your mind, it is also a psychological tool. nixon deploys these b-52s against hanoi and the rest of vietnam in 1972. sure enough, even

henry kissinger the former secretary of state to nixon who brokered the u.s. opening to china is someone who takes we know what kissinger's views are and we know that trump has met with him from during the campaign in twenty sixteen throughout his presidency and that view is one that looks at strong states assesses whether those states are strong with a those governments are strong and whether u.s. president can actually work with the person in charge of those states so here in washington that's often derided how trying to trump implements that is that trump somehow just likes dictators but he doesn't like all dictators he's looking at leaders who are strong and who he either can or needs to work with and then he seems to try to set up these rhetorical poses to put himself in a position to be able to strike some sort of deal with those leaders and work with those states so i think if you take a sober analysis of what trump is doing and admittedly that's difficult to do i think that is the strategy is he's looking at strong states and for better or worse i thin

far too intelligent to this point he knows that the next election is going to see a reversal but kissinger said back in one thousand nine hundred ninety two he said in twenty years speaking to nixon your successor if he's as wise as you will wind up leaning towards the russians against the chinese because it was kissinger who helped lead nixon to me live here in the last thirty seconds go to you maybe the summit in helsinki in washington is the plan is to make sure that relations don't deteriorate more just damage control and if that's the thought i think it's. wrong headed go ahead alex. possibly it's possible with trump you don't know by my hunches there's so many actors that do have an agenda with interests inner circle let's that's not fair we haven't talked about mike pompei oh we haven't talked about bolton and what he wants or what's his motivation so i think there's a lot of forces at work that are also pulling and pushing trouble in different directions yet and i think you have trouble coups at the end of the day i just don't see he's as engaged in foreign policy and international
