On October 6, 1973, Israel was attacked by Syria and Egypt, backed by nine other Arab States and the Soviet Union. This took place on Yom Kipper, the Holiest of days in the Jewish Calendar. Israel was grossly overmatched, 180 Israel tanks faced off against 1,400 Syrian tanks. Over 80,000 Egyptian soldiers attached an Israel infantry unit composed of 436 infantry troops. It was one of the worst military mismatches in World History. Few believed Israel could even survive.
But fortunately, the President of the United States in October of 1973 was Richard Nixon, not Joe Biden. Nixon had to overcome objections from his own CIA director to stand up for Israel. He demanded that the U.S. ship arms to Israel, no matter the cost. Operation Nickel Glass delivered 22,000 tons of supplies flying 567 missions. In addition, another 90,000 tons was delivered by sea. Israel, incredibly, did fight back, and began to defeat the Arabs. The Soviet Union, predictably, tried to save the day by demanding a cease fire enforced by Soviet Troops. Brezhnev sent a letter saying if the U.S. did not force the cease fire, the Soviet Union would enforce it only against Israel. President Nixon responded by summoning the Washington Special Action Group, which included the Secretary of State, the National Security Advisor, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the CIA Director. He ordered the U.S. military put on high alert. Air Force strike units prepared to attack, and two aircraft carriers were deployed to the Mediterranean. The Soviets realized that Nixon was not going to quit, so they reluctantly backed down.
In the meantime, Democrats with their fawning supporters in the MSM remained focused solely on Watergate and finding a new, more controllable Vice President to replace Spiro Agnew. When Republicans told Nixon they wouldn’t back him anymore, he was forced to resign. That was his reward for saving Israel. The only thing necessary for Democrats to win is for Republicans to do nothing.
With Democrats now in control, the U.S. squandered our victory in Vietnam and threw the sacrifices of all who fought there, including me, on the scrap heap of history. But Israel survived and it survives today.
Here is a link to the Nixon Foundation documents documenting all of this.

I have read many other accounts verifying this. I also remember watching this with my own eyes. But you probably know nothing about this, because the MSM ignored the story, and even today very few students are ever told the truth about this. Instead, Richard Nixon continues to be demonized as the worse President in American History.
Perhaps Stephen Ambrose said it best. “He knew that his enemies..would never give him credit for saving Israel. He did it anyway.”
Those who refuse to learn from history are sometimes condemned to repeat it. Never truer then when the Democrat Party and the MSM conspire to choose the wrong person to be President of the United States. At a time when we desperately need a person of strength and character, we must endure the weakness and incompetence of Joe Biden. But, since Democrats and the MSM hate Donald Trump, just like they hated Richard Nixon, nothing else matters. History repeating itself. Dither (Joe Biden) and Yom (Richard Nixon)!
