Just got to say…50k Americans died and idk how many thousands of Vietnamese between 1968 when LBJ started peace talks that Nixon secretly, illegally wrecked by promising the North Vietnamese he’d give them a better deal only to do the opposite (expanding the war to Cambodia + Laos) and when he announced the war’s end in 1974
Sorry, but fuck Nixon.

It was the South, not the North, that Nixon promised a better deal.

Well, he interfered in prior negotiations in Vietnam so he could run his campaign on ending it. Pretty fucking evil if you ask me.
Charming fellow though.

He kept the war going through subterfuge by thwarting the peace talks between LBJ and Vietnam

Fuck Nixon, his sabotaging the Paris Peace to win the election and extend the war talks cost me 2 Uncle's (they were drafted in 69 and 70 ,served in Vietnam and and later killed themselves thanks to PTSD they suffered as a result).

> Nixon did end the Vietnam war
Nixon kept the Vietnam war going and is directly responsible for a number of war crimes.

Nixon dropped millions of tons of bombs on Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam and is to thank for the rise of Pinochet. To call him a piece of shit is the understatement of the century.
