Bill Clinton accidentally gives pro-Second Amendment argument during interview on Russia-Ukraine War
[FoxNews] In the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, the Ukrainian government in Kyiv surrendered the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal.

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton said during an interview Wednesday that he regrets forcing Ukraine to dismantle its nuclear program amid the country’s ongoing war with Russia. He said the war likely would not have happened if Kyiv still had the nuclear weapons.

The war has continued for more than 400 days and includes hundreds of thousands of casualties, including soldiers and civilians.

During an interview with Irish news service RTÉ released on Tuesday, Clinton suggested that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if Kyiv still had its nuclear deterrent.

"I feel a personal stake because I got them [Ukraine] to agree to give up their nuclear weapons," Clinton said. "And none of them believe that Russia would have pulled this stunt if Ukraine still had their weapons."
Having is one thing. Knowing how to use the things, not to mention maintaining and safely storing them is something else altogether. How many would have been quietly sold off by the guards over the years, had they not been taken away at the outset?

#1 Of all the bad things Bill Clinton did and all the things he did wrong which he does not regret, here is something he did right and now he regrets it. Odds are this war would have gone nuclear already if Zelensky had nukes.
