On the recordMay 27, 2010
On May 25, Robert Kagan, a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, wrote a column in the Washington Post explaining that Russia's recent agreement to tighten sanctions on Iran is not as significant as the Obama administration has claimed. Dr. Kagan wrote that the Obama administration paid a high price to get Russia to agree to ``another hollow U.N. Security Council resolution'' and that the Russians ``sometimes used to say and do more'' during the Bush administration. It is unclear to me what the administration can point to as the fruits of the Russia reset, at least as far as the United States is concerned.
