Quote about American friends
This statement by Kissinger is often misquoted:
| “ | Word should be gotten to Nixon that if Thieu meets the same fate as Diem, the word will go out to the nations of the world that it may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal. | ” |
The quote is from United Nations Journal: A Delegate's Odyssey (1974) by William F. Buckley. As you can see from the full quote, it refers to Kennedy's decision to overthrow South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem in 1963. PeterKa (talk) 04:25, March 4, 2025 (EST)
