Great clip. Nixon was a cold warrior, but came to believe in stability and the status quo between the superpowers. He was no Reagan, advocated for freedom in the USSR, Nixon was a realist who felt simply matching/checking Soviet power was enough. Which probably was a good philosophy, given how badly things went for Russia in the 1990s.

Fuck you Nixon, you smarmy crook.

Maaaan, look at Viktor Suhadrev (a great man, btw!), Brezhnev's interpreter standing right between the two leaders. One can only imagine just how alert he probably was. I can actually feel his anxiety!

Impressive. Thank you for posting this clip.

No. Nixon always looked like that; I would not call it nervous.
