RT also hosts a collection of blogs. Here is a recent post from a RT blog entitled Untimely Thoughts:
(3.13) The curious case of Hilary's button. Peter Lavelle writes,
It seems to me that the new administration in Washington still doesn't see Russia to be all that important - it is deemed as a problematic country only to be dealt with. But all the same there is the recognition that not much can be done on many global issues without Russia's engagement and help. Viewed from the Potomac, Russia remains a bridesmaid. This is a huge mistake inherited not from the George Bush administration - look further back to Bill Clinton's time in office to understand this. I must admit I remain sceptical. I have no doubt there was an obvious and embarrassing translation error made when Clinton gave the button to Lavrov. But I can't but help sense that the same tried and failed policies toward Russia remain in play. The "reload" translation is somehow not serendipity. For almost 20 years, Republican, Democratic, Republican - and now again Democratic administrations have continued the same ritual.
