[cid:0db9fe01-9973-43a3-bf3b-37e63927786a] "Reset 2.0: Prospects and Possibilities?" Thomas Reeve "Tom" Pickering, a retired United States ambassador When: Thursday, February 28, 4:30 p.m. Where: Building 56 (Whitaker Building)<http://whereis.mit.edu/?q=56&zoom=16&lat=42.3614837337… Room 114 Abstract: The Putin-Obama "reset" in US-Russia relations has been challenged by both international economic factors and domestic politics. It is now time to see whether positive change can continue. How can significant areas of difference, many still hung over from the Cold War, be replaced or at least moderated by a relationship built on mutual interest and a win-win strategy?
