My Comment: I guess Sec. of State Clinton has decided that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was not serious when he said .... Russia not ready to set up missile defense shield together with U.S.

But even with this backdrop .... Sec. of State Clinton is still going to try and work with Russia on improving European security.
