State Hillary Clinton quarterbacked a “reset” in US-Russian relations.
“peregruzka” printed on it.
“I would like to present you with a little gift that represents what President Obama and Vice President Biden and I have been saying and that is: ‘We want to reset our relationship, and so we will do it together.’ ...
“We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?” she asked Lavrov, laughing.
“You got it wrong,” said Lavrov, as both diplomats laughed.
“It should be “perezagruzka” [the Russian word for reset],” said Lavrov.”This says ‘peregruzka,’ which means ‘overcharged.’”
A quick comeback – and recovery – from Clinton: “We won’t let you do that to us, I promise. We mean it and we look forward to it.”
