Timothy Colton: The United States and Russia: A New Cold War?
The current crisis over Ukraine has utterly obliterated the "reset" policy towards Russia that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama launched five years ago, and the world is witnessing a sea-change in U.S.-Russian relations. With President Obama issuing ever-harsher condemnations of his Russian counterpart, and Mr. Putin accusing the United States of having fomented revolution in Ukraine in order to remove Ukraine from the Russian sphere of influence, are we now being hurtled into a new Cold War? Harvard Professor Timothy Colton will address this key question in a lecture on U.S.-russian relations in this time of crisis and beyond.
