Former President Richard Nixon wrote a prophetic letter to President Bill Clinton in 1994, warning of deteriorating ties between Russia and Ukraine.
Fox News’ Martha MacCallum attends the Aspen Security Forum, where she sits down with British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, who says Russia is ‘fragile’ and does not ‘expect’ the U.S. to put troops on the ground.offering what Clinton later called"wise counsel, especially with regard to Russia." The contents of that letter have now been declassified by the Clinton presidential library and appear prophetic.
Nixon considered the survival of political and economic freedom in Russia"the most important foreign policy issue the nation will face for the balance of this century." With that understanding, he told Clinton that based on what he saw in Russia, a fledgling democracy under former Russian President Boris Yeltsin was in danger.
"If it is allowed to get out of control," Nixon told Clinton,"it will make Bosnia look like a PTA garden party." Nixon also urged Clinton to develop relationships with Yeltsin's potential successors."Bush made a mistake in sticking too long to Gorbachev because of his close personal relationship. You must avoid making that same mistake in your very good personal relationship with Yeltsin," he wrote.
