Some sage wisdom from the "Big Dog" Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton pushes back on critics who blame NATO enlargement for Russias invasion
Former President Clinton on Sunday pushed back on critics who argue NATOs expansion during his presidency is partly to blame for Russias invasion of Ukraine.
Youre wrong, Clinton said when asked to respond to critics during an appearance on CNNs Fareed Zakaria GPS.
Clinton made integrating Central and Eastern European countries a hallmark of his foreign policy following the Cold War. The Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland joined the military alliance in 1999, toward the end of his second term.
When I did what I did, I offered Russia not only a special partnership with NATO, but the prospect of eventual membership in NATO, arguing that our biggest security problems in the future were going to come from non-state actors or from authoritarian states selling chemical, biological and nuclear capacity to terrorist groups, he added.

Bill Clinton says GOP will find some new way to scare the living daylights out of swing voters
Former President Clinton on Sunday said Democrats could maintain control of Congress, but Republicans will just scare people in the lead up to the midterms.
We could hold both these houses, Clinton said during an appearance on CNNs Fareed Zakaria GPS.
But we have to say the right things, and we have to note the Republicans always close well, the former president continued. Why? Because they find some new way to scare the living daylights out of swing voters about something.
During Clintons second term in the White House, Democrats picked up five seats in the House, the first time a sitting presidents party gained seats in the midterms in decades.
