Outsider Willem Oltmans: U.S. Foreign Policy Stupid and Senile
Dutch journalist Willem L. Oltmans assails U.S. foreign policy as stupid and senile at a Charleston Exchange Club luncheon. He criticizes CIA coups, U Thant’s peace message, and Washington’s handling of Cuba, Viet Nam, Korea, and Latin America, urging recognition of Red China and diplomacy over brinkmanship. He warns of growing Chinese influence in Latin America and the need for a new approach to global power.
