Hillary Clinton once touted her tenure as secretary of state as a time of hardheaded realism and commercial diplomacy that advanced American national and commercial interests. But her handling of a major technology transfer initiative at the heart of Washingtons effort to reset relations with Russia raises serious questions about her record. Far from enhancing American national interests, Mrs. Clintons efforts in this area may have substantially undermined U.S. national security.
Consider Skolkovo, an innovation city of 30,000 people on the outskirts of Moscow, billed as Russias version of Silicon Valleyand a core piece of Mrs. Clintons quarterbacking of the Russian reset.
Following his 2009 visit to Moscow, President Obama announced the creation of the U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission. Mrs. Clinton as secretary of state directed the American side, and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov represented the Russians. The stated goal at the time: identifying areas of cooperation and pursuing joint projects and actions that strengthen strategic stability, international security, economic well-being, and the development of ties between the Russian and American people.
The Kremlin committed $5 billion over three years to fund Skolkovo. Mrs. Clintons State Department worked aggressively to attract U.S. investment partners and helped the Russian State Investment Fund, Rusnano, identify American tech companies worthy of Russian investment. Rusnano, which a scientific adviser to President Vladimir Putin called Putins child, was created in 2007 and relies entirely on Russian state funding.
