Obama’s Reset

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Monday’s presidential debate will surely address President Obama’s controversial policy towards Russia. After all, it has been a one-way “reset,” with the Kremlin’s Vladimir Putin failing to reciprocate and exploiting Mr. Obama’s serial concessions. That policy’s recklessness is evident in light of Putin’s aggressiveness with respect to world oil and gas supplies. A deal with BP is in the offing that would increase state-ownership and, therefore, his personal control over Russia’s energy sector. Putin also appears determined to generate opposition on environmental grounds to the use in this country of hydraulic fracturing – a technique being used safely to tap our own, immense oil and natural gas deposits. Putin’s agenda would enrich him and his regime, while perpetuating and intensifying the energy vulnerabilities of the United States. This sort of reset is intolerable.
