President Richard Nixon defends his decision to use American forces against the North Vietnamese in Cambodia. Cambodia was an agreed-upon neutral state but the North Vietnamese forces violated the agreement and threatened the security of American forces and the people of South Vietnam. President Nixon upholds his pledge to bring forces home but emphasizes the need for American intervention in Cambodia.

April 30th, 1970

  • @tampadave9 Americas bombing raids, napalm, agent orange and search n destroy missions killed more vietnamise.

  • @snakes3425 They let them come in cambodia and laos later became communist

  • @tampadave9

    war is war, but you're right on one thing the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong had no right to be in Laos or Cambodia to begin with

  • The North Vietnamese & Viet Cong were in blantant violation of Cambodia's nutrality & were using Cambodia as a staging area to launch raids into South Vietnam. They killed many South Vietnamese & American troops. Was there a better idea to deal w/ those ruthless Communist bastards?

  • people flip when America went into Cambodia and Laos let me ask this what gave North Vietnam the right to use Laos and Cambodia as a staging base for it's war in South Vietnam

  • This politic is very best than your brazilian politics. You know Jose Sarney???

  • what a liar!!!

  • Nixon was a lying, Murderous Bastard who secretly ordered mass bombings of Cambodia, eventually dropping more bombs indiscriminately over that country than were ever dropped over any country during the second world war. Cambodia was entirely innocent of anything but the secret bombings and thousands of innocent Cambodian lives lost eventually created complete turmoil in Cambodia and gave rise to the Kmer rouge and pol pots genicidal regime. The rest is history and this is fact! Shame on America!

  • Nixon, although unpopular, was very intelligent in how to deal and convince the general public.
