Nixon was a certifiable traitor, eligible for legal execution. President Lyndon Johnson had a truce between North and South Vietnam set up in 1968. He forced the leaders of South Vietnam into an all-but-final agreement with the North. But at the last minute, the South Vietnamese pulled out. Nixon had intervened to stop them from signing a peace treaty. Nixon was able to get a series of messages to the Thieu government [of South Vietnam] making it clear that a Nixon presidency would have different views on peace negotiations. The rest is history; Nixon was elected and waited UNTIL his second term to have Kissinger negotiate the same treaty he helped sabotaged to get elected. Pure scum!
