As president, Nixon would have officially considered the following as "enemies" of the U.S. : North Viet Nam, North Korea, Cuba, the USSR and all Eastern Block nations. Not to be confused with Nixon's famous "enemies list" that refers to people and organizations in the U.S. that he personally considered his political enemies.....such as prominent Democrats, members of the media that maligned him, as well as some prominent judges, and senior FBI executives who had worked under J. Edgar Hoover.
Nixon maintained an enemies list to identify and target individuals and groups perceived as adversaries to his administration, particularly those who opposed his policies or criticized him publicly. The list was used to justify surveillance, harassment, and other covert operations against political opponents, journalists, and activists. This practice was part of a broader culture of paranoia and retribution within Nixon's White House, ultimately contributing to the Watergate scandal and his resignation. The existence of the enemies list highlighted the lengths to which Nixon would go to maintain power and silence dissent.
Nixon's own tapes showed that he authorized the payment of "hush money" to cover up the break-in at the Watergate Hotel (into Democratic Party Headquarters). The tapes did not provide evidence that Nixon had ordered or approved of the break-in itself.
