Nixon was trying to achieve detente with USSR and China. He offered them concessions if they would persuade Hanoi to end the Vietnam war.
The policy of detente, also known as the Nixon Doctrine, was created to relax tensions between the 2 superpowers, The Soviet Union and the United States. Detente is a spanish word meaning "relaxation of tensions."
Brinksmanship increased tensions, and eventually caused war. Nixon took office during war, and switched to detente.
Like all US presidents, Nixon tried to run the system in the interests of the capitalist class.
President Nixon had to pay a certain amount of money ($2.3million) in order to get the soviet union off his nuts
