It was known as “normalizing” relationships when Nixon decided to rub elbows with the tyrants of that time. Nixon as a dyed in the wool Capitalist, and saw opportunity for trade. He also took the US off of the Gold Standard. And, he instituted the endangered species act. I’m not excited about any of this strange hodgepodge of political decisions.
