Nixon Sees Risks Minimal Potential Gains in Expanded War
Washington reports President Nixon favors expanding the Indochina conflict to seek a quick victory, hoping to secure advantages in South Vietnam and Cambodia before rains halt major operations. Advisers argue the move minimizes short term risks while boosting bargaining leverage, amid fears of deeper involvement and China’s possible response. The strategy hinges on Cambodia’s upheaval cutting Hanoi’s supply lines and limiting North Vietnamese reach as U.S. withdrawal proceeds.
