For all his shortcomings, LKY has shown the world how well a tiny city-state can do economically with geopolitical leverage and strategic thinking. Especially when it comes to diplomacy vis-a-vis the West, most Asian political leaders are confused (and confusing) at best and belittled (and bewildering) at worst, but no leader of the West fucked with LKY in his prime.

Once in awhile, I watch that footage of Meet the Press to remind myself what a sharp political leader he was. RIP the benevolent dictator.

That was impressive, thank you. Is there a way to search YouTube for other Meet the Press videos from the 1960s?

Amazing video. The only other person I've watched handle the press with such clarity and grace is Malcolm X.
