Level 5 · 9 mo agoNixon hired guys called Plumbers to stop leaks and they ended up flooding his entire career. You can't make this up. And the nuclear files getting lost is the biggest plot hole in American history.

Level 6 · 8 mo agoThe podcast is right about the secret promises tho! Nixon told Thieu he would resume bombing with B52s if the North acted up. That assurance is the only reason Thieu even signed the treaty!!
