New at Reason: Cathy Young on Obama's Upcoming Trip to Russia
As Barack
Obama's trip to Moscow next week draws near, there is much talk of
a fresh start—or, as Vice President Joseph Biden put it earlier
this year, "pushing the reset button"—between the United States and
Russia. But "reset" to what? A partnership based on shared
democratic values, as many hoped in the 1990s? A pragmatic
collaboration based on common interests such as combating
terrorism, with issues of freedom and human rights sidelined? There
are strong voices arguing for each viewpoint. But as Contributing
Editor Cathy Young writes, for the foreseeable future, neither
approach is likely to yield much progress in relations with Russia,
since both arguments reflect a high degree of wishful thinking.
