FLASHBACK: Hillary Clinton Says Her Russian Reset Button Was A “Brilliant Stroke”…
Just over a month ago Pant Suits was claiming her widely mocked “reset button” stunt was pure genius.
Quote: QUESTION: “You famously pressed the reset button. Are you embarrassed by that now, that gesture?”
CLINTON: “No I think it was a brilliant stroke which in retrospect it appears even more so, because look at what we accomplished. Between the Russian invasion of Georgia in August 2008, which of course torpedoed relations between United States and the Russia for good reason. We come into office, and for that period of time, the interregnum if you will, Medvedev is President, Putin is Prime Minister, and there were jobs that we wanted to get done. We wanted to get Russia on board with tough sanctions against Iran. We wanted to have a new START Treaty to limit nuclear weapons. We wanted to get their help in transiting across through huge country to get things we needed into Afghanistan. We got all that done. Putin comes back. Look where we are now. He invaded another country, so yes, but while we had that moment, we seized it, we used it, and succeeded.”
