Hard headed “realism” combined with “Commercial diplomacy.” Those are the favorite phrases Hillary and crew use to describe her years as US Secretary of State, and it worked so well right? Lets take a peek at one example, the famed Russian Reset Button.

It seems that there was more, MUCH more to the badly handled supremely awkward photo op back in 2009.

Following his 2009 visit to Moscow, President Obama announced the creation of the U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission. Mrs. Clinton as secretary of state directed the American side, and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov represented the Russians. The stated goal at the time: “identifying areas of cooperation and pursuing joint projects and actions that strengthen strategic stability, international security, economic well-being, and the development of ties between the Russian and American people.”

What did this involve? How about the creation of a Russian Silicon Valley called Skolkovo. Sec of State Clinton was the quarterback of this effort. I know, the image that brings to mind is painful… moving on.

Here’s the thing. It wasn’t just that the State Dept got all sorts of major firms such as Google, Cisco, Intel and others to sign on to this interesting little venture. Oh no, its WAY more than that. Try this on for size. Many of involved companies FROM Russia channeled funds into the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative!
