Hillary Clinton’s Ukraine – and 2016 – problem

IMHO the real screw up from this White House was its insistence on focusing on the New START treaty as part of the "reset", reseting to open LOCs into Afghanistan was one thing and it was in our interest. But this administration walked away from Ukraine and Georgia for New Start.

I don't know what the actual genesis of this stupidity was, if this was an Obama pet project, or someone else in the administration. Noticeably Hillary Clinton and her people have been quite silent recently.

“The view of the United States of Russia is that the Russians just don’t matter that much,” Bremmer said. “There was a real belief in the White House that you could work with Medvedev, Putin was the problem but Medvedev was in charge …. that was a real misread.”
