Reset!

In what way is our "reset" policy with Russia going to do any good when so much of the problem stems not from us but from Russia's deep-seated paranoia?

As Muscovites suffer record high temperatures this summer, a Russian political scientist has claimed the United States may be using climate-change weapons to alter the temperatures and crop yields of Russia and other Central Asian countries.

In a recent article, Andrei Areshev, deputy director of the Strategic Culture Foundation, wrote, "At the moment, climate weapons may be reaching their target capacity and may be used to provoke droughts, erase crops, and induce various anomalous phenomena in certain countries."

I'm reasonably sure that Secretary Clinton's famous reset button has already been disassembled by Russia's leading scientists to find out what it really does. What country would seriously send such a silly prop to Russia?
