New tapes show Nixon intentionally prolonged Vietnam



History has shown us what a cold hearted piece of shit he was but this tops everything I've seen of him prior. The well known "October surprise" that was the promised peace deal just before the election ended up it was undone by Nixon in an attempt for him to get elected.

He ended up winning the election by an extremely small margin most likely due to the peace deal falling through. The war went on another 5 years cost 15 thousand more American troop deaths and who knows how many on the other side.

If he were alive today a bullet between his eyes would almost be too good for him.

What is worse, is that the powers that be, including Lyndon Johnson knew exactly what happened but couldn't say anything because the recordings came from an illegal wire tap by the FBI.
