POLS 368 Lecture Notes - Oliver North, Strategic Arms Limitation Talks, Savak
Document Summary
By the time ford took over from the nixon administration, he tried to get more money from congress for the vietnam war. Was a different kind of politician with a different ideology. Had no desire to poison relations with ussr or china. He was more willing to criticize them on their internal policies. Focused more on foreign policy and the goal was to try to persuade the soviets towards better international behaviour. It does matter how governments are chosen and disposed of. Liberals aren"t the only ones who believes these kind of things they emphasize them. When carter came in and began talking about human rights and the internal affairs of states and how governments are chosen, this was different. It wasnt care about it they just didn human rights record, which would poison the relations to some extent.
