    Totally missed this when it happened but when Hillary Clinton was US foreign minister, she presented Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov with a red button. The text label on the button was supposed to say “Reset” as if to say reset US / Russian foreign relations. Translated, the word actually meant “overcharge”. What a complete fuck up, notwithstanding the dodgy symbolism of the US handing a red button to Russia.
