When Hillary Clinton attended her first major White House meeting on Russia in February 2009, the new secretary of state insisted that she wanted to play a leading role in President Barack Obama’s effort to “reset” U.S. relations with Moscow.

That stance is indicative of how she would go about dealing with Moscow if she is elected U.S. president on Nov. 8.
