Undeniable Proof that A President wouldn't think twice before killing 200,000 people

Conversation between Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger in White House during 1970s. Apparently, they were designing a strategy for the Vietnam War

for crying out loud, of course they wouldn't!! If it it benefits them they would never think twice.

This comes as no surprise to me. Nixon was a highly disreputable president. He famously said, "I am not a crook". Now, whenever anyone says something like this, I consider it a red flag.

Nixon had a highly controversial presidency during his second term. He stepped down from the presidency before the end of his term, turning things over to his vice president, Gerald Ford. IIRC, Nixon also got Ford to pardon Nixon for any crimes he may have committed in office. That protected Nixon from being prosecuted, which would likely have happened.
