Despite all his global FaceTime, Nixon was a solitary, awkward, reclusive man. Kissinger, who could not bring himself to say that he was fond of the president, once famously asked, 'Can you imagine what this man would have been had somebody loved him?'

So in 1961, he publishes a book titled The Necessity of Choice, which is his manifesto on how the United States should approach foreign policy in the 1960s.

The United States cannot afford another decline like the one which has characterized the past decade and a half. 15 years of more of a deterioration of our position in the world, such as we have experienced since World War Two, would find us reduced to Fortress America in a world in which we had become largely irrelevant. Our margin of survival has narrowed dangerously.

I'm going to quote from Jacqueline Keeler's book Standoff, which is about the Bundy occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge.

Quote, on January 19th, 2016, Ryan Payne, a Malheur occupier and founder of Operation Mutual Aid, a militia coalition based in Montana, read the preamble of the Declaration of Independence at a community meeting held at the refuge.
