Turkey’s Defense Minister: Removal of Jupiters Would Hurt “Confidence” in U.S., Depress Morale
Kissinger: “Almost Everyone” in Italian Leadership Believed There Was U.S.-Soviet Agreement on Jupiters
Part I: U.S. Demarches to Italy and Turkey and Their Reactions
Edited by William Burr and Leopoldo Nuti
I am going to put myself in a position that seems strange and unnatural to me: defending President Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger.
Professor Rigger describes Professor Tucker’s “moral outrage,” which she clearly seems to share, at the way Nixon “betrayed” Taiwan while opening up something close to normal diplomatic relations with China in 1972. There are two reasons I do not share the outrage. I do not feel the United States owed a great deal of loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek’s government on Taiwan, and I think Nixon’s policies did very little harm to Taiwan.

Control of Nuclear Weapons for NATO and European Defense
Another matter raised recently thru Sept. offered commentary by Prof. Kuehn was the status of US relations with NATO and Europe; if such, were normal or some departure from regualrity.
Part of an answer to this topic and substantive history can be found in October, 1964 copy of Foreign Affairs Quarterly, particular to the Article published there by Air Marshal Sir John Slessor and shown with this post, its opening paragraphs.

Prof. Kuehn's thoughts regarding the US-Europe via NATO relationship raises one additional observation this date. In military history and US military history from the Cold War brought about by the world-wide conflict with Communism, both in the Atlantic region of Europe over Russia [Soviet Union] and the Pacific region with China, US policies and practices despite any differences with Europeans within NATO was generally successful deterring major warfare as result from Containment.
Thank you Ralph,
Have long since reached the same conclusion, and consider your conclusions completely accurate.
Posted, Nixon's 5yr. FDYP, a few days ago on H-War. It served as foundational to his plan, for a full generation of peace, 30 yrs. after withdrawal from the Vietnam War by US.
Vietnam was essentially a 'Holding Operation', by those who sacrificed so heavily; until changes were developed, in overall situation, allowing withdrawal. Have recently thought an analogy to Verdun may be appropriate for So. Vietnam

Quite a characterization Prof. Kuehn offers. Myth, when did it or does it become one ? Truth is course of NATO relations were probably never smooth or/and easy. Prof. K was correct but it was not necessarily common knowledge. Charles de Gaulle unless some have forgotten never was sold on NATO. He as far as back to WW II proved difficult for the coalition of Allies seeking the victory of WW II.
